FB above middle, belted deep to center, Grisham turns right away and races back for it, but it's over him, bounces off the track and into the netting above Monument Park for a 2 out ground rule double.

I wasn't familiar with that 4th one, Tood. Old baseball joke. I use it whenever it comes up. Have to be forcibly stopped. Never stop with your sense of humor. I figured later you were joking when about 5 poster friends trolled me   |

Peguero...
Takes a cutter that clips the top of the zone, not called, 10% on Gameday
Cutter clips the low outside corner, called a strike, and that one was 10%, too
Swings over a cutter just low, outer 3rd, 1-2
Swings under a FB above the zone, inner 3rd at 96 for the K. Inning over.
Bottom 8, still tied at 4.
"Top" of the order: Torres, Grisham and Wells for the Yanks in their half of the 8th.

Hopefully the Yanks are getting all their suck out of them right now, because this has been a lame home stand.

Sinker tails well outside, 1-0
Takes a slider outside middle, 1-1
Slider outer half, bounced foul off 1st, 1-2
Takes his timeout.
Takes a slider backing up outside, 2-2
Takes a slider that stays outside, waist high, 3-2
Good slider above the knees in the middle, swung over for the K, 2 down.
Hit Bart on the follow-through too.
Why do announcers call a swing follow through a "backswing"? I have no idea. The hitter is not swinging backwards, nor is it a preliminary part of a swing like a golf swing.

Back leg slider grazes Wells on the left foot as he tries to jump out of the way. Wells on 1st, 2 down.

Lefty Mlodzinski into the game to turn Dominguez around and make him bat right-handed.
Edit: serves me right for listening to Kay. I thought Mlodzinski was a righty, but Kay said a lefty was coming in.

Dominguez works the count to 2-1, then takes a slider that clips the back door, 2-2. 5-10% on Gameday.
Chases a slider way low over the middle, fouls it.
FB in the zone up and in shatters his bat, the foul flare goes near 3rd, but Triolo's lunge for it comes up short as Mlodzinski dodges a big piece of the bat flying near him.
FB inside corner, spoiled
Slider bounced down and in, he takes it, 3-2.
Woooooo
FB nicks the inside corner, and both Mlodzinski and Bart start off the field, but the ump doesn't give them the call. 5-10% strike on Gameday, so...marginal. 1st and 2nd, 2 down for Berti.

Volpe works the count to 3-2, then takes a slider on the low outside corner for the ꓘ.
He didn't like that call, but it was 50-50 on Gameday.
Top 9, Yanks up 6-4.
Top of the order for the Pirates: Gonzales, Reynolds and Cruz.
Weaver at 15 pitches, so it's time to bring in Holmes. <Ducks tomatoes and cabbages being thrown at him>
