Wilbur Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 4 runs off of Cole in the 5th was very nice. Hopefully they can hold on. Yankees got their contact off of White, but he was able to minimize damage over the 4 innings he pitched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Light Racicot Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Bipolar team this year. At least 3 times this year they've gone through stretches where they lose something like 8 out of 10 and yet they're firmly in a playoff position right now.

shiznak Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Pujols is on a mission to reach 700 HR, in his last season. He has 6 HRs in his last 8 games, including two multi-homerun games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yankees are trash. Do they have a bunch of injuries or is this the team they pay 250m for? Judge looks good even when not hitting, Nobody else gives me that vibe from them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other factor is the Jays' penchant for not being able to close the deal on a sweep. (I think they've only done it once so far this season) I hope I'm wrong, but I can't help feeling that some how, the other shoe is going to drop.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acquisition on Andrew Benintendi has helped, but I'm betting that the Yanks would have preferred to use that capital on pitching... To make things worse, Aroldis Chapman has been anything but dominant...only 9 saves, an ERA pushing 5.00, WHIP of close to 1.5 and a K/BB ratio of 35/22.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's baseball....if there was such a thing as a 1 on 1 scrap, we'd see a lot more Nolan Ryan - Robin Ventura incidents and probably a lot less paper tigers like Cole.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I love what Adam Cimber has done since he came to the Blue Jays, but I have to wonder at the thought process there.... You throw a slider on the inner half and the batter hits it a mile, but foul.....so you come back with the same pitch?

I can’t pretend to know the plan of attack between Cimber and his catchers but doubling up can work in a reverse psychology kind of way. If I was the hitter I’d probably be thinking “I hit that thing a mile, they must be going with something different on this next one”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could very well be....however, the distance Benintendi sent that foul ball suggests that it was right in his wheelhouse....If you're going to throw back to back sliders after the first one got destroyed, you need to change the location at the very least. That being said, I was always taught that when a batter turns around a pitch like that, you move onto something else on the next pitch. If Cimber and Kirk were truly trying to outsmart Benintendi there, they ended up outsmarting themselves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fine to double up on pitch selection and location in the right situation, which doesn’t appear to be the case here. Can’t say I was watching the game myself. If Cimber was trying to double up on the pitch after the huge foul ball he should’ve been careful to get it a little lower, a little more outside, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge was visibly upset and had a few choice words for Manoah after the pitch, but Manoah insists that the pitch was not intentional. “Been struggling with my sinker for about five, six starts now,” Manoah explained after the game, according to ESPN. “I made a pitch and it obviously hit Judge. I looked at him, said, ‘Man, you know, I’m not trying to do that.'” It was not Judge, however, who escalated the situation. Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole came out of the dugout followed by several teammates during the tense exchange between Manoah and Judge, and Manoah clearly did not appreciate it. Manoah was able to diffuse the situation with Judge, but he had some blunt and harsh words for Cole after the game. “I think if Gerrit wants to do something, he can walk past the Audi sign next time,” Manoah said, referring to the logo sprayed on the grass by the visiting team dugout. This confrontation adds a little bit of fire to an already strong divisional rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he was yapping at the Baltimore saying they wouldn't homer off him. After he allowed those two shot back to back Baltimore bench was really pointing and laughing while making the pay up sign lol. Still love to see this sort of attitude in this pathetic era we live in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still love to see this sort of attitude in this pathetic era we live in lol He just doesn't back down from anyone.... In the series against the Red Sox, he got a bit carried away after striking out the first guy. (Yolmer Sanchez, I think?) Sanchez handled it properly, giving Alek a little smirk that said "wait until next time".... Then Manoah got Bobby Dalbec and you didn't need to be an expert lip reader to translate that conversation..... Dalbec: "Why don't you STFU, bi**h!" Manoah: "Why don't you sit down, bi***h!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
