Having said that Fuck the Rays.
Fuck the Astros
Fuck the Braves
Fuck the Dodgers

Impossible to root for the Rays or Astros.....Go Dodgers......

Live by the sword die by it! What’s the point of paying coaches millions when they do absolutely nothing.

2 borderline at best strike calls after Stanton was up 2-0.

Definitely changed the at bat, but he has to protect on a 3-2 count.....Ford also, stood there like little leaguers afraid to swing.....

How was that a great baseball game? The Yankees were asleep the entire game. Now we know why urshela didn’t play in Cleveland! As I said before the entire line up is ridiculous! The decision of starting Devi game 2 f’ed up entire series. Boone is GONE

They were called strikes the whole game for both sides. Got to expect both of those pitches to be strikes in the ninth.

Strange how judge has fallen off cliff since Stanton went on rampage. Not surprised at all.

The first one in question was outside, the second one was debatable, but they need to swing the F’ing bat....Game was there for the taking, but living by the homer fails way too often with this club in tight games.....

What I was saying was the ump was calling those pitches strikes the whole game on both teams. After that I agree you have to swing the bat.

It was a great pitching matchup and both starting pitchers did their jobs and it went down to the last couple of innings to decide the game. The wrong team won, but not everyone can be sore loser so someone has to fill that role. Guess you are that someone.

That 10 pitch at bat by a guy who rode the minor league buses for years was one of the best sports moments I've seen in a long time.

Hell yeah that was a great game. Does it get any more dramatic than a tie or 1 run game in the late innings of an elimination game? It's why we watch baseball, for moments like that.

the only thing to me that was impressive was Cash’s decisions. Yes, Cole was good, but that was expected. Boone is clueless with his line up, pitching rotation. And not knowing how to motivate his players to play on road, and with no fan support .

as far as being a bad sport. No sir. I’m a fan of the game first. Baseball today is overthought , every aspect of game is injected with something unproven. And it takes toooooooo long!

If you didn’t see how hungry Tampa players were during game , chattin, eyein yanks down, supporting their teammates while yankee hitters , all swinging for the tape measure , taken their frustrations out to the field, bootin balls ... then you weren’t paying attention!

the hungrier team won. Will be a great matchup vs the stros... stros in 6
