allquixotic

Baserunner! Also, I love that they do the hot dog race and crab thing on TV. It's immersive of the feeling of being in the park.

Combination of unlucky and weak inning after the 2-run HR. Weak pop-up, at'em ball, and 3 pitch K.

I'm glad I turned the TV back on! Two run bomb and we're back in this thing. Can we hit -- as Fred Manfra used to LOVE to say -- back to back to back to back home runs? That would tie it up.

Means with a 67.50 ERA. Is Wey-yin Chen still able to pitch?

On the replay, I didn't see the Judge one hit his jersey at all. Absolutely zero evidence of contact. It came maybe a centimeter away and the high velocity wind in the wake of the ball might have barely had an effect on his jersey, but the ball itself did not touch. It was pretty obvious. And of course he came around to score.

Just turned off the game in the top of the 1st with 1 out. With our "ace" on the mound. I'm not sure what else I was expecting.

Cheap runs for the Yankees. Always some shenanigans with them.

I can't help but feel like the Yankees are doing something cheat-y in how they get these cheap early baserunners. Catcher's interference, now "HBPs". One that didn't hit him at all, and one that he basically put his arm out over the plate.

Cole looks like Cole in the second inning. Much better location. Maybe we can work the count and get him out after 4 or 5 IP on pitch count. With a rested staff I can't imagine they'll leave him in beyond 100 pitches, and maybe even less.

I see what you did there.

Woj has a clean, easy inning. Excellent.

Well, we made Cole work and it looked like he had some control issues, definitely missing on a few pitches. Hopefully Severino can settle down.

YES!!!!! Answering on the offense in the bottom 1 was absolutely essential, for team morale and to show that we're still in this game. Huge!

I REALLY need Gerrit Cole to have a miserable start. Even the best pitchers do sometimes. So come on, Cole. Today you will have no location on your fastball whatsoever. None.

We need a coach to make a plate visit. Not a mound visit, but they need to talk to Severino and figure out what's wrong with him. Woj would be fine if Severino could catch.

Yes, sure. Let's go on believing that. It's completely harmless.

During the Star Spangled Banner, the speakers of the park all rang out "OH!" Also emotional, but for a completely different reason.

The first pitch was VERY emotional for me. They honored some front line workers at Johns Hopkins. One of them threw out the first pitch and they had a bunch of them on the field.

There is an error in the game summary. Alex Cobb gave up a solo home run, which was an earned run charged to him while he was on the mound. The bases were empty when Paul Fry relieved him.

And they win!

Bleier still up so far on At Bat, but that could change at any instant.

OK. I'm living in 2012 in terms of Orioles Magic and 2014 in terms of the O's just being plain good. Better?

Darren O'D-- ... Wait ... I'm living in 2018 apparently.

Davis is still a good defensive first baseman. For that play he just needed to be tall and have long arms, which he does, and does.

After the commercial break the TV broadcasters said the decision was made to give Valaika an Error on that play.
