Gameday Thread: 8/19 Yankees @ Angels

The catcher tags and outruns Trout's throw to third.  Maybe the call will be reversed. Well, no challenge.

[eligrba4ever]

Hope Escobar's leg doesn't flare up tonight after that contact.

Marte has earned a spot.....Choi hasn't....

I could see it going either way - it's only for a couple weeks. Marte has performed far better, but Choi offers a late-inning defensive glove and a lefty bat off the bench.  What Marte offers - right handed power and infield versatility - will already be in place with Cron and Petit/Pennington.

Ask the Ducks

Sept 1st is close enough that it's not a big deal....

Good point!

Ellsbury strikes again. 2-0 Bombers.

[eligrba4ever]

Yankees are hitting the ball on the button.

This pitching staff will not miss Weaver next year.

I duno, I heard he's a pretty chill dude.

Cy Tanaka is in the stadium.

The Angels 'offense' is also there, unfortunately.

But it's early...

 

[eligrba4ever]

That Toronto CFer had a pretty good spectator view of that game-winning inside the park homer for Cleveland. Could he have done something about turning it into a triple?

[eligrba4ever]

Weaver is 8-10 for a team 20 games or so under .500. He has allowed a solo homer and an RBI single to Ellsbury tonight so far. He has finished four innings with 61 pitches. If he was leading 4-2 nobody would be complaining yet.

[Sciosciapath]

is that karma for bunting during a perfect game or too soon

[eligrba4ever]

Painful foul off the face for Escobar. He runs straight up the tunnel. There's one less bat for the Angels to rally with. Petit takes over.

[fan_since79]

Well, there goes a lot of our 'offense'.

DL for the rest of the season? 

 

[mulwin444]

I'm sure that's not the first time Escobar's had some balls in his face

[eligrba4ever]

I'm thinking maybe a broken nose for Yunel.

Or some emergency dental work.

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!!! Trout gets the first Angels hit.

I'm pretty sure there's an "ick" factor to your question, so nobody wants to get soiled by it.

This game feels like it's slipping away.

That's how it felt from the get go

Weaver's fooling no one...........................................

[the dude abides]

Jesus, Weave.

Nice outing.

I thought batting practice ended several hours ago.
