Well that's a nice start...single, walk, 3 run home run by JHL to start the game!

 

[msgkings322]

Stroman looks terrible out there, love it

 

[msgkings322]

Wade is up after 3 walks and 2 hits no outs...even he should do something LOL

 

[calsnowskier]

Just starting it now.

Say what you want about Spankee fans, the roll call is pretty cool.

 

[msgkings322]

And he does! 2 run double. Yay Stroman lol

Just catching up to real time.

Now that's how you start a game !

Odds we get rained out before completing 5 innings?

80%.

Doesn't look good, but I sure hope we capitalize on these 5 runs to get a W in

Outfield high flies are an adventure

That long ass bottom 2nd did not help. On offense they may need to take a dive to get to the 5th inning fast. Then they can try hitting again LOL

Another walk, can Ray even make it through 5? Pitcher change would delay things further.

Nice to score early runs.

But Ray at 69 pitches with one out in the 3rd?!?

You can always find the cloud in every silver lining lol

Fitz, with his speed, NEEDS to be a better base runner.

 

[msgkings322]

Sort of decent work by Ray, 1 run in 4 innings but 4 walks, 2 hits, 98 pitches, I doubt he sees the 5th

3rd time through the order starts next batter

 

[calsnowskier]

That 5 innings rule for a starter is the most stupid rule. I hated it even back in the day when Starters were expected to eat more innings.

 

[calsnowskier]

Batdouchery by Fitz there…

I’m out.

 

[calsnowskier]

Time to call this game. We played in one of these last year, and it may have ended Murphy’s career. It is a blowout, no reason to continue it.

One would think with how the game has changed they would adjust but nothing so far
