Thursday afternoon May 2: Battle for First Place with MFYs

[spiritof66]

How sweet it is! It seems like a long time ago that it seemed that Bradish's performance might be the only cause for celebration today.

I don't care about being wrong on here.  I also really don't care when others are wrong on here, either.  Kinda fun every once in awhile to point it out to bust some balls but this seems exhausting, especially when your chosen target would never concede to being wrong in the first place.

Glad to see you keeping a high pettiness level though.

At least F Face found it amusing

Do you mean Chris Davis or Prince Fielder?

I was thinking of Pujols. 

[Tony-OH]

Well count me as very satisfied! Great series and he bullpen really put it together after struggling with the A's. Baseball is a funny game.

Literally the white flag move by the Yankees!

Yeah, I don't know what good it was to send him up for a pinch hit appearance right there, but that was hilarious to me.

3/4 from the Yankees, awesome.

Rizzo getting K’ed on a 92 MPH FB is such a red flag.

Him being up there begging for a HBP is starting to approach Aaron Hicks begging for a walk levels.

Jahmai Jones is on the Yankees now?!?? Dibs on him for Immaculate Grid, nobody else use him.

Great win, Mateo getting hot for a bit would be great until Holliday is ready again.

[Billy F-Face3]

I finally get to heat Jorge Mateo speak English. What a treat!

Ump stole a W from Bradish. That was the only negative today.

This series should quiet the debate for now about who is the best team. NYY had an easy schedule and lots of breaks (as in the Brewers series).

[mrbig1]

I was wrong. Before the series I thought we might even get swept. Our bullpen only gave up 1 run in the 4 games. We made the Yankees our girlfriend.

I was speaking more broadly of the fact he did not use Mike Baumann. 

Akin>Coulombe>Webb>Perez

He used our better options.

Baumann threw 24 pitches and pitched 2 innings last night.   Doubt he was ever available.

He didn't use Kimbrel.   

I don't know if Suarez and/or Wells is out in the bullpen yet, though I expect they will be soon.

If they weren't, then Hyde used all available relievers except Kimbrel.

I just read that Sotos triple would’ve been a hr in 29/30 ballparks. LOL. Man I hope he’s shuffling in the dugout thinking about that. 

A triple's pretty good, too bad the guy behind him is hitting .197.

[Tony-OH]

Mateo played well both offensively and defensively in this series. He's a nice utility guy. 

Now if we could get Mayo at 3B, move Westburg to 2B we'd really be in for a show.

[Emory Eagle]

Could they maybe not bring up the transition away from being an everyday player live on field?
