I hate freakin sidewinders!  I pitched to one of my nephews from the side many years ago. He was a small guy but a good hitter. He was intimidated. It was just a batting session for him, and I wanted to show him that there were a lot of ways for a pitcher to approach getting him out. I was especially tough on him because I would sometimes step to the third base side on my follow through, and wouldn’t stay on the same side of the rubber. I was able to control the ball pretty well, though after about 30 pitches I started to lose it to where the ball would sail high. Made him even more nervous…😎 Haha, I need to see video tape of that. |

I was watching an old Yankee game against the Royals from the 80s. Winfield era. Bill White was commenting on the Royals pitcher not having a good year, only pitching 72 innings in 11 starts: “Not even seven innings per start.” How times have changed…that guy would be a horse today.

I’m calling it a night. Take it from here, boys. Get us a comeback! Inger can throw sidearm in the bottom of the ninth!

Too bad. I can still see some of it in my head. You definitely don’t want to be going in there, my friend. I mean, I seen THINGS, man, ya’ know?… |

Bad teams find ways to give other teams runs, Velasquez errant throw lead to 4-3 lead, then Judge misplays one in RF albeit a tough one in the corner that got away from him. About sums up the last week and a half and plenty of what's been an up and down last two seasons. Somebody is gonna get scapegoated, guessing most likely Thames and Boone if they collapse.

I'd be happy with the second wild card at this point.

It wasn't that long ago this team was winning every day, now they're about to lose their 5th in a row, all at home.
