Marcus semien might be the worst defensive shortstop I've ever seen in the majors. 

Even Jose offerman thinks he makes too many errors

Who else likes winning a fucking series?! Because I sure fucking do!

you could out play semien at SS

I hope the yankees / angels goes 22 innings tonight. 

and the yankees don't score 13 or 0 runs

Jose Off-E-E-E-E-E...?

McCann scoring from 1st is my sports highlight of 2018 so far.

 

There's nothing like laughing your ass ass off, followed by a "Fuck yeah, he made it!!!"

 

I must also give credit to Marwin for his Baryshnikov impression on the double play while holding the runner at 3rd.  Most fucking impressive!!!

Starting pitching update through 29 starts:

IP - 179.4

ERA - 2.51

WHIP - 1.01

BAA - .202

K/9 - 10.84

P/GS - 97.2

 

Should be undefeated with those stats

Not to mention 3.16FIP and 3.18xFIP (both are leading the majors). Worth noting that our defense has been stellar with a 0.65 differential between ERA and FIP. We haven't committed an error since April 18 (ten games).

Ya - defense has been special (to borrow a Baggy-ism) as of late.  Last error by a non-pitcher goes even further back - maybe 18 games (April 8)?

We need to show Helobious how special he is the minute he steps foot in here.

que para K/ first 5 innings?   LOLz. 

'bout 9?

Don't know the stats, but my perception is the bullpen hasn't quite lived up to it's abilities compared to last season.

5th in era, 2nd in whip, 3rd in avg. The one area lacking is they are 5/9 in save opportunities.

I was just fucking around.  If we could eliminate Tony Sipp and Smith, those pitching stats would be even more spectacular.

While I agree most vigorously 100%, those numbers are just for the starting pitchers.  No Sipp or Smith stank in that data.  Although DK's numbers are plenty ripe in comparison to his cohorts.

5 saves and 19 wins.

4 blown saves in 10 losses.

 

I think that shit is purdy good.  I like Will Harris, Devo, and McHugh out of the pen.

Giles, Peacock, and Co need continued improvement.

 

Keuchel has earned MORE than the benefit of the doubt and McCullers hopefully has his worst innings behind him with some recent badass starts.

Time to remind everybody who won. I know he's not on the Yankees any more, but this will never get old.

Not a fan of “if you take out...” stats, but...if you take out LMJ’s 4th inning in Minnesota, what do the starter stats look like?

LMJ’s ERA drops from 3.71 to 1.64.

(gave up 8 in that 1 inning. Has given up 6 in his other 33)

 

Edited by UTexasFight

if you take out any time a starter gave up an earned run they then have a 0.00 ERA. 

BOSS

If you take out any time the Yankees were a likeable team, then they have been hateable douchebags forever.

 

Oh wait...that amount of time is still zero...   douchers forever.  Fuck the pinstripe motherfuckers.

 

Go Astros!!!

Edited by slorch

blown saves can be a misleading stat, as it applies to all innings, not just the 9th.  giles doesn't even have one i don't think.

Nothing wrong with doing that in this case as that one inning is a clear outlier. 

stats are for losers - as Lil Keke says, fuck 'em all, I'ma ball, chop it up on the slab.

i wouldnt be surprised to see the yanks come out tonight playing well, even with the travel. adrenaline is a helluva drug, however, I can see them coming out like shit tomorrow when it all settles down. we win tonight, at worst we'll split. we win tonight, we're taking 3/4. 

fuck the yankees and fuck jay-z.

This feels right.

we should fuck up Gray and Yanks should win Wed behind Severino going against DK... which means neither will likely happen

I’ll go with:

Yankes

Astros

Astros

leaving it to LMJ vs Tanaka to decide if we split or win 3-1

Judge not in the starting lineup tonight. 

That’s nice of Boone to allow Judge to get his first golden sombrero of the series tomorrow vs JV rather than tonight against CFM

Oooh show me please. Lucky for you guys, a Yankees sweep would mean that they'd leave Houston on a 12 game winning streak, which is pretty damn impossible for a non-Indians team to do. I'm feeling a split or a 3-1 Yankee series win if they catch some breaks. P.S. good luck keeping Stanton out of the Crawford boxes.
