Game #108 Yankees/Phillies lineup/game thread

wow gil looks good w 2 Ks including realmunto

He's certainly a great athlete. 

Realmuto fouls off a slider right down Broadway, 0-1
FB outside at 99.2
Change taken well low over the middle, 2-1
FB outside, waist high, 3-1
Slider on the outside corner waist high, taken, 3-2
FB on the outside corner, waist high at 98.8, swung on and misses under for the K, inning over.

Nice 1-2-3 for Gil on 13 pitches and 29 through 2 innings.
Top of the order for the Yanks in the 3rd, Verdugo, Soto and Judge.

Rice's 7th HR: 99.3 mph, 407 feet, 31° launch angle, a HR in 38 of 30 MLB parks.

I'm pretty sure Jazz Chisholm is the first Bahamian to ever play for the Yankees. There haven't been many in MLB history. The only players I've heard of are Andre Rodgers, Tony Curry and Ed Armbrister.

He seems awfully likeable. I don't know where the supposed personality problem issue came from.

soto hits a rocket to 2B doubling verdugo off 1st

Amazingly Richardson, who scored the winning run on Jeter's last hit at the Stadium is also from the Bahamas.  

Judge gets a FB above middle, swings under, 0-1
Sinker his the top of the zone, Judge gets a break, not called, 1-1, 50-50 on Gameday. Bad call.
Sinker misses inside, thigh high, 2-1.
Judge gets a bigger break, FB at the top in the middle is an 80% strike, not called, Terrible call, 3-1
Fb above and inside middle, foul tipped, 3-2
FB waist high outside corner, Judge caught guessing slider/cutter, takes it for strike 3. Not a break for Wheeler, that was 50-50 on Gameday

Bottom 3, 3-0 Yanks.
13 pitches for Wheeler in the 3rd, 47 through 3.

Castellanos, Stott and Hays for the Phillies in the 3rd.
