Costas sounds like he scripted a bunch of his remarks. Not really a fan of his announcing
Ben Clemens
9:34
I think his extemporaneous stuff is good, I really like his PBP, but I don't need the diatribes.
Pinstripe Perry

David, did your convo with Stephan hit on any of the differences similarities between CLE and NYY pitching machines? Two of the best at developing arms for sure.
Hugh Duffy
9:35
One batter too late.
Jay Levin

And THIS is why you take Blake Snell out after 18 PA.

Showing celebrities after a home run is hit is...
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:35
I did laugh at that
9:36
"Yankees loving it! Fans loving it! Rizzo loving it! Cal Quantrill...not so much."
Ben Clemens
9:36
Francona is gonna regret this one

Hedges also has a patent on a type of catcher helmet, so there's that too.
Ben Clemens
9:36
You just know it was one of those 50/50 decisions for him

The idea that people would give a shit that Spike Lee is at the game escapes me.
Ben Clemens
9:37
Most celebrities I'd agree with you about, David, but Spike in New York is still cool to me
It's kind of like how I hate corporate stadium names but like Coors Field
Hugh Duffy
9:38
Also, for those interested, the Dodgers-Padres game is starting.
Ben Clemens
9:38
I'll be channel-hopping the rest of the night
Bat

I don't need to see Spike Lee after a Yankees homerun....what is this, a Knicks game?  He's a celebrity Knicks fan, yeah, but how many Yankees' games does he make each year?

Anthony Rizzo hit 32 regular season home runs, tying his career high. He's had for season with 32 and another with 31.
Farhandrew Zaidman
9:39
Any issues with Urias game 1 over Kershaw?
Ben Clemens
9:39
Dan and I both separately projected it when we were bantering about this series
Ben Clemens
9:40
In other words, fine with me

People assuming this game is over presumably haven't been watching the postseason this year.

Profar leading off?  Is this normal?
Ben Clemens
9:41
It is! Courtesy of our lovely FanGraphs splits pages, I just confirmed that he had 405 leadoff PA's this year, and no more than 58 at any other lineup spot
Ben Clemens
9:42
FanGraphs, it's got the stats
That one's free, Appelman
If you want more of my slogans, we can discuss a raise

With a long half inning, I'm guessing Cole is done.
Ben Clemens
9:43
Yeah, especially with a bit more breathing room. Keeping him fresh for a Game 5 on regular rest seems good.
Farhandrew Zaidman
9:43
Am I crazy for loving the Yankees batting Judge leadoff? Maximize your best hitter's ABs.
Ben Clemens
9:43
Yeah I love it as well
Ben Clemens
9:44
Someone will have to explain to me why Juan Soto swinging at the first pitch means Manny Machado can't swing at the first pitch
Guest
9:44
I don't think anyone is warming in the Yankees bullpen.
Eel Ffilc
9:44
Looks like no one is in the pen
Chamaco
9:44
No one up in Yankees pen…so Cole coming back?
Ben Clemens
9:44
Seems.... strange but ok
Bat
9:45
Speaking of Yordan, the Dodgers seem to always know which prospects to keep and which to trade
Ben Clemens
9:45
Gonna disagree with you on this one. What about Oneil Cruz, just off the top of my head?

Taking a first pitch strike drives me nuts. Lived through Cal doing it his entire career. Wait, that turned out OK for him. But still…
Ben Clemens
9:45
Also that comment came after Machado took two straight balls lol
Connecting…
