Hays good as long as he doesn’t have to catch a ball in foul territory.

Well this has been a fun game.   I've bene watching it while playing Strat-o-matic baseball (took 3 out of 4 from my opponent to solidify my hold on a wild card spot).

So I couldn't join the game thread until now, but I've been watching this wild game.  

We need a big inning to get the order back around to Adley and Anthony so they can make major league history by hitting for the cycle on back to back at bats.

Just recently discovered weams’ Strat-o-matic game. We played once early in the marriage and decided our mutual competitiveness would make this a bad idea. (!)

Oh, they're definitely panicking right now.

Yankees remind me of the 2017 Dodgers team that at one point had a 91-36 record before finishing the regular season 104-58.

Gotta love this, from earlier in the game:

Oh! There’s the Fired Up guy!

Ouch!

I'll never forget that time Jermaine Dye fouled a ball off his leg and broke it. 

[Jagwar]

Mateo hit by pitch. Now he can only run at .99 x the speed of light.

I'd ask how you break a ball but you will just tell me to ask Caleb Joseph and I don't want to have that conversation.

[justD]

Oh thank heavens. I was sure Head would give up enough to make Bautista have to come in regardless. Let’s just sit em down now. 

[PHRESH]

I meant he broke his leg lol. But thanks for bringing up worse memories. At least Caleb got a spokeman deal out of that injury.

No one will ever mistake Mountcastle for Don Mattingly.  

[justD]

Geezus H. No one able to catch foul balls now.

Mountcastle from the Austin Hays school of catching fly balls
