Per Cora's press conference, we have 5.75 months of baseball left - why, anything could happen if they just get hot.Scheduled losses are annoying.
Thou shalt not stray to the good side of .500 by more than a game.Scheduled losses are annoying.
Don't put this on us. That's my ret(ort).Ort never had a chance today. The negative vibes from SOSH doomed him.
Not very sp(ort)ingOrt is getting the next inning too… no one is in the pen.
The SOSH reaction was understandable since Ort is at best a below average reliever with a fastball that is too straight and a regular inability to throw strikes.Ort never had a chance today. The negative vibes from SOSH doomed him.
So are you saying that you want Paxton and Bello today?Why didn't they just pitch Paxton today? He was scheduled today. These 2 Yankees games are much more important than the Twins games. It could be a 2 game swing in the standings today. I don't get this Ort move.
Get that logic out of hereSo are you saying that you want Paxton and Bello today?
Doing that would mean they need two fresh starters for Wednesday and Thursday instead of just one on Thursday in Houck's spot. Gotta hold someone back to keep everyone on regular rest.
For many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.So are you saying that you want Paxton and Bello today?

I've decided to go in the total opposite direction and say that Ort has 3 good innings in him here.5-0 after this inning?
Sox should hit this Schmidt dude though, shouldn't they?And the first ends with a whimper
Certainly, since games against the Yankees count more in the standingsFor many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.
Doubtful. Ort isn't great, but neither is the Yankees lineup.5-0 after this inning?
Yeah, they were kinda screwed once Houck went down. Would have been helpful if one of Kluber, Pivetta, Murphy, Mata or Walter didn’t shit the bed this year.So are you saying that you want Paxton and Bello today?

There was also some uncertain weather today. Paxton going only a couple of innings would have wasted a start.For many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.
I completely agree, but I think that there are fans that just want to do whatever it takes to beat the Hated Ones.There was also some uncertain weather today. Paxton going only a couple of innings would have wasted a start.
Beaten like a middling Ort fastball.He isn't even near the rubber
Because he pitches for the Yankees?How is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?
these guys get the big bucks for doing a pretty lousy job.How is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?
It's not quite Carter Capps, but come the fuck on. Why have a rule if it won't be enforced when it's clearly being broken?He isn't even near the rubber
Why isn't Cora bringing it up eitherHow is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?
They said he did I thought?Why isn't Cora bringing it up either
I'd go the route of Demi Moore, strenuously object and get my ass run. For fucks sake, it's pretty evident. I mean, it's a violation every pitch.They said he did I thought?
Yeah, I agree with that. It’s so blatant you should do what it takes.I'd go the route of Demi Moore, strenuously object and get my ass run. For fucks sake, it's pretty evident. I mean, it's a violation every pitch.
