Luke Maile up to the plate - and he drops one into right center for a base hit
Superman - he needs to find his groove again - and he flies out to center for one away
JD - and he flies out to centerfield for 2 away
Time for some 2 out magic guys
Maile makes it to 3rd on a lovely base hit by Joey - no double-play possibility either..
.heh, heh, heh
Wild pitch gets away from Sanchez and Luke scores as Joey makes it to 2nd
I wonder how long Pineda is going to be left out there .......ah there is some activity in the Yankees bullpen now
Kendrys grounds out for the 3 away but the Jays are up 5 zip going into the 5th
You should see my Pat and Buck impersonations....
That would be something to see, Johnnny...........you got those twangs down pat, do you? :smile:
Headley at the plate - and Fransico gets him with a sneaky little slider - 3 K for Frannie
Carter up - Frannies up in the 70s now - and he got him - 4 K for Frannie
Gardiner - Frannie appears to be locked in now - well except for that high curve-ball he just threw and Frannie strikes out the side!
Smokie - and he drops one over the head of the SS
2 - LO ............gets a base hit to left field
And I think the leash on Pineda just tightened up
Devon - ah poop - Yankees get a double play on a grounder to SS - Smokie safe on 3rd
Zeke - and he takes a walk
Luke up next - and he strikes out - stranding 2 on base.........I have a feeling Pineda won't start the 6th - he's just not happy out there and is wandering all over the mound between pitches shaking himself like a big old dog
Sanchez sends one into center field for a base hit
Judge - and he hits his 18th homer of the season and scores 2.......sheeeit
Gibby's out to the mound - Frannie will give up the ball to Danny Barnes
and Danny walks Holliday
Frannie threw a total of 81 pitches.................and Castro hits a 2-run homer off Barnes - maybe we should have stuck with Frannie
Aaron Luke is up and pitching in the BP
Danny gets the batter to fly out to Joey - for 1 away
Danny is not dialed in- Gregorius with a base hit - tieing run now aboard
Those dug-outs must be yucky places what with all that spitting that goes on
Zeke nabs a fly ball to left for 2 away
Joey waits for a high fly ball and makes short work of the last out for the Yankees.........but the damage is done and we need our bats to light up...........
Holder in to replace Pineda - Kevin flies out to center for one away
The Bringer of Rain is Back!!!!!!!!!!! - 2nd homer of the night for JD........too bad we didn't have some men on base
Joey's making Holder work ........but pops one up to the infield for the 2 out
Kendrys - swings and misses to end the inning........but we got 1 back
Aaron Luke out of the bullpen. He takes care of Gardiner - Gibby out and he calls Ryan Tepera to face Sanchez and Judge
Well good for Ryan...............he struck Sanchez out with the last pitch after going 1 and 2
Now he has to deal with Judge........and he walks him after about 7 pitches and going 3 and 2
Matt Holliday comes to the plate..........and he hits a double off the back wall over Kev's head..........Judge scores and Matt's on 2nd with 2 away
Castro now...........20 pitches thrown by Ryan so far..........and with the 21rst he gets Castro on a swing and a miss for a K........thank you Universe
Smokie facing Bogart and he's safe at first on an error by the first base man - maybe - the play is under review
SAFE!.............thank you baseball gods
Tulo.........a beautiful little double to deep in left field - Smokie on 3rd - Tulo on 2nd
Every single batter in the Jay's line-up tonight has had a hit
Devon ....he sure knows how to work the pitcher...........this pitcher is having real problems with the calls - second trip to the mound for Sanchez to set him straight in as many throws......work him Devon........work him hard........and you get rewarded by a great sac fly as Smokie makes it home
Tulo makes it to 3rd on bunt by Zeke that they are calling a sac bunt to advance the runner - 2 away
Luke Maile will try to get Tulo home.....and he swings and misses on strike 3 for the 3rd out.......but the Jays get another run in and lead 7 - 5 going to the 8th
Joe Smith making his 29th appearance of the season for the Jays faces lead-off batter Hicks......hand Hicks finds a hole for a base hit.......
Gregorious.........( our bullpen is just a bit too shaky at times tonight) ..they are getting worked hard - Tepera was over 21 pitches - ah great out for Joe - caught him swinging - K
Joe gets the batter out at first off a dribbler close to the mound - Hicks advances to 2nd
Carter......represents the tieing run.........and Carter pops one back right into Joe's glove for the 3rd out. Well done Joe!
Shreve on the mound for the Yankees facing Pillar.......Kevs getting some wood on the ball...and if those pitches come any closer he's gonna get hit...........but not enough to reach base - 1 away
JD goes down swinging and is really pissed at himself - 2 away
Joey goes down on a called strike.......and we are off to the 9th as Roberto comes to the mound to face the top of the batting order for the Yanks............this should be interesting
Gardner pops up to Zeke on the 2nd pitch - 1 away
Sanchez lines on right into the glove of Tulo - 2 away
Judge...............well Rock on Roberto - gets Judge on three strikes and the Jays win the 2nd game of the series! 7 - 5 against the best team in the East and, our pitching staff wasn't that hot whereas theirs was just that much better. We got men on base and made some really good plays - all in all, a fine win for the boys of summer. Joe Biagini on the mound tomorrow.
He's
baaaaa...........ck! :smile:
