DANGER! High Voitage - The 2019 New York Yankees thread

alternate theory:

YANKEE MAGIC

they've played exactly one good team so far -- the astros, who swept them

the yankee magic is managing to have an easy schedule in the early part of the season when everyone is hurt

4/23/19
Yankees 6, Angels 5

LeMahieu
Voit DH
Gardner CF
Torres SS
Ford 1B
Tauchman RF
Romine C
Estrada 2B
Wade RF

^this lineup should not be beating *any* major league team

but thet rank fifth in the league in ERA and WHIP

these guys -- who will all be dfa'd when the yankees get healthy -- better get playoff shares

"There are 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies."

"Like a good Gleyber, Torres is there."

These people do the same job.

the only problem w/ that call is he doesn't actually sing it

raise those standards Hade

just working with what I got

consider: "Tyler [Austin] a yellow ribbon on that one"

he's the Trump of play by play

"That is below the Brandon Belt!"

gio urshela, the most happy fella

oh Christ

how many of JS's listeners know that The Most Happy Fella was a hit Broadway musical 60+ years ago?

this was also his Jose Pirela call

there have been a lot of low (high? I can't tell anymore) points but

Rob (Korean American) Refsnyder has Seoul

congrats to the yankees for finishing april, five games over .500, without beating a team with a winning record

facetiousness aside, this was a real achievement!

The Douchebacks stadium has a hot tub?

yep. the one time i went to a game there, there was a home run hit into the hot tub

or maybe it's a small swimming pool

the d-bax made a red-assed fuss a few years ago when the dodgers clinched there and celebrated by jumping in the pool

Andujar on a plane to NYC. Will be activated tomorrow for DH duties.

Replacees win again, Paxton leaves after 3 innings w/ sore knee

i am not anti-yankee in general but i have to say the "no names on the uniforms" thing is dumb, especially when the team is 90% back-ups. i watched a few minutes of the game on saturday and had no idea who anyone was

heresy

just go to gameday or whatever

it's not like that sells extra programs anymore, right?

Paxton to IL icymi

I am just pretending it's not happening

Severino will be out for longer than originally anticipated, still shut down, looking at July return.

Looking forward to this series with Seattle

going up to see my first game of the year tonight

dunno how I feel abt these 6:30 starts...it leaves little time to get an affordable beer outside the park before first pitch

Weak shit In right field
Somebody catch the fucking ball
Gardener and Frazier a couple of chumps
Shame!

outrageous

affordable beer outside the park = $9 Lagunitas

Due up: Torres / Urshela / Maybin
Who dem what?

SEND FRAZIER BACK TO T BALL

to be clear I was referring to Frazier *and* the price of a beer

Due up: Torres / Urshela / Maybin
Who dem what?

nooooo

no

HEY BUDDY, LITTLE LESS TIME ON YOUR SHOES, LITTLE MORE TAKING PRACTICE FLIES FROM RIGHT LIKE A 13 YEAR OLD

Yeah I mean I appreciate the enthusiasm but it's called a "uniform." Do you have kitty cleats for everybody on your team?

Maybin showing how it’s done

Only the finest in pink sweatbands for these umpires

Back up to 13 on IL

Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder strain)
Migual Andugar, again (labrum tear)

Andujar

John Sterling's call for Cameron Maybin was a good one: "Hammerin' Cameron!"
