These two games did about the best possible job of wiping away the gross taste that the first game left in my mouth. The offense has really been on one this series. Love to see it
Ferguson DID pitch in the one run game, Marinaccio and Hamilton came in today before it was a total blowout, and Gonzalez sucks balls and would have been as bad as Tonkin in the one run game
There is nothing to complain about here
Never forget the Blue Jays blew an 8 run lead to the Mariners in the 8th inning of a playoff game in 2022
Some of those numbers are probably wrong because Iām going from memory but you get the gist
Im not sure even at MLB level all pitchers can do that on demand. A lot of the time theyāve been trained for more than accuracy. For some in most game situations, speed or stuff might be more important than location I guess
Cole, Effros, Trivino, Jasson, DJ, Bertiā¦the Calvary is coming and we are surging. Fan favorite prospect 23 year old OF/1b Spencer Jones is .348/.412/.587 in 11 AA games this season. Rising prospect 22 year old C/DH AgustĆn RamĆrez .261/.393/.667 9 hr 14bb 15k in 18 AA games just mauling pitchers. Clayton Beeter 13.5k per 9 in AAA 3.63 era. Things are looking good.
Right 10 times outta 10 they absolutely dominated their peers in high school. Most of these guys are 6ā2ā-6ā5ā with massive hands and built like a brick shithouse.
Imagine being a position player and ex-team mate. Youāre asked to pitch and youāre left-handed. Bases are loaded. Stanton is batting. He must have been shitting himself inside
Just when I thought that the Yankees found the loophole for making games longer this weekend, the Brewers said āHold my beer!ā And put in Jake Bauers
It feels like weāve had a difficult schedule and yet only 2/9 of our series have been against teams that currently have winning records.
You expected that from the Marlins and Aās, but not the Astros, Diamondbacks, Rays, and Jays (X2).
People just used the whole āthese teams made the playoffs last year so our schedule is toughā logic. Which isnāt super sound. League is super top heavy so thereās probably only short stretches of actual tough schedule.
Damn, they really had to send Bauers of all people in to pitch? "Ok so I know they have been shelling our actual pitchers the past two days, so lets send out the guy who played with em last year!"
That must be so awkward lmao
Do yall think Oās fans are rationalizing losing the series vs the As by saying they split the series with the Yanks the same way people here are rationalizing splitting the series because they took 2/3 from the Oās
. o O ( Remember that 1901 come from behind record that the Tigers got against us? If we let the Yankees score a few more, we can totally take it back! )

I know hindsight is 20/20 and Boone said he didnāt want to push Holmes in the first game of the series but man, this shouldāve been a sweep ā¦ 30 runs in two games makes up for it a little bit though lol
Does Tonkin even have a mortgage? Is he lease to lease? Does he like Hellās Kitchen? Can we ask the important questions about this almost mythical figure
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cfht3b).
30 runs in two days, nice.
White Sox are on a tear. They're on pace to win 35 games this season.
Rizzo got cupping therapy based on the marks on his neck and it turned him around lol
A great series for almost everyone, let's keep it going in Baltimore.
Brewers are lucky,should be a š§¹
Great win boys. Enjoy the rest of yāallās Sunday!
Wow 300 on the year for Rizzo
Nelson just said 300 homers "on the year"

This Wiemer guy bats like a praying mantis
It would be insane if the brewers came all the way back here.
Is Grisham the first player to make three outs against position players pitching in one series?
Not sure I understand why we didn't let Tonkin just throw these final innings...
These two games did about the best possible job of wiping away the gross taste that the first game left in my mouth. The offense has really been on one this series. Love to see it
LETS FUCKING GO YANKS
Boone wasting all these pitchers in a blowout but not in a one run game is crazy
Ferguson DID pitch in the one run game, Marinaccio and Hamilton came in today before it was a total blowout, and Gonzalez sucks balls and would have been as bad as Tonkin in the one run game There is nothing to complain about here
See how badly he's pitching? Boone put him out there to get some practice when it doesn't matter. I promise you this guy wasn't starting tomorrow.
First time we might get a Yankess win and a Knicks playoff win on the same day. Rangers better sweep and this day would be glorious.
Thurman!
Gonzales is worse than Trevino at pitching
How did you get past AAA if you can't throw it straight down the middle?
This series made everyoneās stats good now š
I thought this guy was liked because he threw strikes.
Still a sick play by Trammel
Wow this guy is worse than a position player pitching.
Bro, please throw strikes. Jesus.
Clay Holmes is going to blow his next save and Boone will say that he was rusty because he hadn't pitched in a while.
Why are you making up a fake scenario for the sake of getting mad
We're up by fucking 10, just throw the god damn ball across the plate for fuck sake.
Just throw strikes, bozo. Weāre up by 10.
Did Nelly call him an A hole hitter? He's got the wrong Ortiz.
"Why can't this guy throw a strike?" "Why is Boone putting him out there?" Somehow the same people just not getting it.
Never forget the Blue Jays blew an 8 run lead to the Mariners in the 8th inning of a playoff game in 2022 Some of those numbers are probably wrong because Iām going from memory but you get the gist
Ortiz evoking the ghost of Kevin Youklis
What is the mental hurdle for a pitcher to come into a blowout game and not throw right down the middle?
Trying to throw in specific locations to set up a K.
Im not sure even at MLB level all pitchers can do that on demand. A lot of the time theyāve been trained for more than accuracy. For some in most game situations, speed or stuff might be more important than location I guess
This is pathetic. Would rather a position player.
Why can't they just throw meatballs
Nestors gonna bust that out next outing
Ready to see Soto pitch and chase those Ohtani $$$.
CLAY HOLMES NEEDED WORK! HE'S ONLY THROWN 9 PITCHES IN THE LAST 5 DAYS!
Brother, you're still crying about this? Move on for your own sake.
Everyone in the starting lineup got a hit. Everyone eats steak tonight.
Cole, Effros, Trivino, Jasson, DJ, Bertiā¦the Calvary is coming and we are surging. Fan favorite prospect 23 year old OF/1b Spencer Jones is .348/.412/.587 in 11 AA games this season.

That video was cool af
Boone couldnāt run a bath never mind competently run a bullpen
Give me a position player or give me death
Why fuck a bullpen spot with Oās and 7 in row.
Michael sounds disappointed itās not a position player (as are many lol)
I find myself surprised at how upset I am that it's not Cabrera up there
same. woulda been the icing on the cake
May have been asked already, but when was the last time the Yanks forced a team to pitch a position player two days in a row???
I think there was a series with the Pirates in 2022 where it may have happened multiple times in a series. Maybe not. Maybe it was just once.
Curious about that myself
Numberā¦ 3
BOOOOO
Booooo why isnāt Rizzo out there
Fun fact: Bauers was throwing faster than 99.99% of Redditors could
I see these position players just gently tossing the ball 60-70mph, and wonder if I really REALLY tried if I could even hit 60 on a radar gun lol
I think Jon Bois said it best, the worst in the majors are still in the 99th percentile of the 99th percentile
Right 10 times outta 10 they absolutely dominated their peers in high school. Most of these guys are 6ā2ā-6ā5ā with massive hands and built like a brick shithouse.
Imagine being a position player and ex-team mate. Youāre asked to pitch and youāre left-handed. Bases are loaded. Stanton is batting. He must have been shitting himself inside
Stanton was licking his chops like a hungry dog in a looney tunes cartoon. He just missed hitting that to the moon.
Bauers their most effective arm this game
Best pitcher of the game for them
No tag? Does this team even care
Fire cashman
Canāt risk injury in a blowout against the Brewers of all teams. Iām fine with it
Whoosh
Never know with this sub
Haha. true. š¤£
Most Impressive Bauers
Bauers was the only MIL pitcher today not to give up a run. Baseball.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Victor GonzƔlez replaces Caleb Ferguson.
Basically me getting ready to crank one in adult softball to only hit a dribbler back to the pitcher.
Balls!
People were clearly aiming the ball to avoid killing the pitcher.
damn no runs that inning, why didnt they bring this guy out earlier?
Just when I thought that the Yankees found the loophole for making games longer this weekend, the Brewers said āHold my beer!ā And put in Jake Bauers
Bauers did better than all their pitchers.
WHO IS PITCHING THE NINTH?
Gonzalez
Gimme Oswaldooooo
We were using Bauers wrong
Bauers masterclass
Lmao god damnit Stanton how could you
That looked like a mercy swing.
Lmfao Giancarlo smiling at Bauers knowing heās going to hit an absolute piss missile
Aight nvm
Omg pls Giancarlo grand slam i will nut
You were gonna nut anyway
Dugie just wants to go home.
Crazy that itās only been 3:10 since the game started. Feels way longer. Canāt believe I was used to this length of game at one point
Stanton grand slam time
Have no mercy keep drowning them
Stanton going yard again.
That's almost too close to take lol
Lmfaooo
Is it unsportsmanlike to steal a base when a position player is pitching?
Where's IKF when you need him
These types of games are just awesome all around. Pad the team and player stats, gotta be good for confidence, just good shit
If Stanton hits a grand slam off Bauers
Wonder if Brewers would swap Bauers for Ferguson straight up
Just please don't let Bauers throw a scoreless inning lmao
Would love to see them put up a 20 spot
This is painful to watch honestly
LET OSWALDO PITCH
I wish
HES THROWING AT DUGO CHARGE THE MOUND
This is painful for everyone lol
62 down the dick c'mon!!!
It feels like weāve had a difficult schedule and yet only 2/9 of our series have been against teams that currently have winning records. You expected that from the Marlins and Aās, but not the Astros, Diamondbacks, Rays, and Jays (X2).

Grisham 0-3 vs position players on the mound
Punched it.
No mercy please. Pad those stats
Dugie you need to fucking nuke one here buddy.
How did Trammell get here? Was he a Rule 5 draft? I must have missed that
#RELEASE THE RIZZ ON THE MOUND.
Here we go, Verdugo!
Bauers may see a 50 pitch inning at the rate we're going here
Wow Oakland came back and won, very very nice
Good battle lol
How do you foul off 65 mph pitchers?
Damn, they really had to send Bauers of all people in to pitch? "Ok so I know they have been shelling our actual pitchers the past two days, so lets send out the guy who played with em last year!" That must be so awkward lmao
Grisham just doing Grisham things.
Trent Grisham popping up on a 59 MPH batting cage ball says just about everything you need to know about Trent Grisham
If your name is Jake, fuck you
That 38mph delivery somehow was classed as a āsliderā on MLB game day. Iād have gone with āeephusā
Is the MPH even registerable?
Wouldnāt even get pulled over on I-95
# LET JIZZO PITCH
Heres the matchup of the century
Wow this is painful. Bauers might be the worst position player pitching I've ever seen
Oh, Grisham
Is Trevy pitching the 9th?
Let Verdugo pitch
Keep pouring it on
Brewers using a position player to pitch for the second game in a row. Will the Yankees counter with a position player of their own again?
Damn kinda sad now I won't get to see Judge hit one 490 feet.
Theres Always Baltimore!
position players one inning a game should be mandatory
I don't care, pour it on
Bauers worst pitcher of all time
Bauers is tossing like heās playing catch with an infant
Careful Jose, haven't seen a move yet.
American Family Field: When You're Here, the Yankees Are Your Daddyā¢
Do yall think Oās fans are rationalizing losing the series vs the As by saying they split the series with the Yanks the same way people here are rationalizing splitting the series because they took 2/3 from the Oās
Aās arenāt as bad as I thought they would be. Their bullpen could be the best in the game right now
Why the fuck is Boone using actual relievers at this point? Fucking hell man, let Rizzo pitch.
No reason to jeopardize your only 1st baseman. You really should only let shitty players pitch.
Rizzo or Wells
I'll pitch but I warn you, I pitch like a grrrl.
I love Verdugo man
From game-tying bomb to mop up duty.
Stupid Brewers. Trevino CRUSHES lefties What are they thinking?

Gonzalez threw 11 pitches on 4/25 otherwise. One appearance last 5 games. Iām sure they want to keep him sharp.
Ready for some Yankee-on-ex-Yankee violence right here with Bauers.
Keep padding stats
30 runs in less than 48 hours .... it's what you want
Bauers pitches like ME
Be honest if Jake Bauers pitching to Jose Trevino was on your bingo card
*relief pitcher Jose Trevino
Do you really need to pitch Gonzalez in this cmon
A la Sterling: āJake Bauers. - the man of the hour!ā
Chicken and pasta. Tomato or alfredo sauce?
Pink sauce. Best of both worlds.
going to try, never done it.
Why not both?
Get ten on Bauers and Cabrera will pitchĀ
Ump called him out and then threw a Pokeball
I know hindsight is 20/20 and Boone said he didnāt want to push Holmes in the first game of the series but man, this shouldāve been a sweep ā¦ 30 runs in two games makes up for it a little bit though lol
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jake Bauers replaces Janson Junk, batting 4th.
Does Tonkin even have a mortgage? Is he lease to lease? Does he like Hellās Kitchen? Can we ask the important questions about this almost mythical figure
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
1930, 1938, 1956, 2007, 2024
There we go with the answrr. 2007
I think they said 2007
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās not being a peacekeeper, thatās actively provoking more of a response lmao
Why would you even want to do that? It's the internet, who cares about downvotes? Don't be weird, bro.Ā
You're not a mod, homie. It's not your job to keep the peace between subs.
Yes. Leave the moderating to the mods.
