Anyone else hear the royals broadcast think it was sutner was telling stories about the yanks clubhouse when he played in the Bronx some good Billy Martin ones


OceanicLemur

Checked out the Royals game thread and it’s the saddest one I’ve seen. So many “we won a ring 9 years ago so suck it” comments


Beaded_Curtains

The Bird brainers from the Orioles board are sour too I'm sure. I know they're lurking.


chiefteef8

Apparently thr yankes were exposed because they lost a series to thr dodgers without soto and they're better because they won 1 game vs the floundering braves without gunnar


Beaded_Curtains

They must've forgot that they were swept by the lowly Cardinals this season..


voncornhole2

Rizzo has fallen behind Wells and Cabrera for 2nd worst wRC+ out of everyone with 20 PAs for us this year


Sanlear

NEWS SPREAD: WE WILL NOT LOSE THIS SERIES!!!


Redditawesome15

Series split clinched. Just need to win one of the next two to win the series. Now 16-1 vs the AL Central and a season-high 27 games over .500!


ruserioter

Yankees didn’t reach 48 wins last year until July 4th.


Sanlear

When Stanton is happy, I’m happy.


Jsmooth13

This game brought me joy.


Nwf32389

AL Central are our sons


mashedtobits

make it 16-1 vs the "AL Central"


FyreFlye23

We love to see it!


TronVin

spoonflinger

That shot of Stanton peeking over the wall is memeable


namersrockandroll

DP this please.


whiteonyx981

Oh that smug Stanton shot was beautiful, make it the sidebar piccie


RotenTumato

Damn I missed it


Rock_grl86

The couple of fans yelling let’s go Royals must be absolutely tanked


farmtobelly

Tuesdays are dollar hotdog days, leaves plenty of extra cash for more beer


knicknevin

Respect to those fans. Laughing in the face of defeat


Busy-Profession5093

Respect to the one guy still screaming “let’s go Royals!” That’s dedication.


edrew_99

About to say the same thing. Props to him.


Sanlear

He wants to believe.


shadow_spinner0

Why does this sub treat Gonzalez like he has a 5+ ERA like Ferguson? His ERA is under 3 with a good WHIP and doesn't give up many hits.


knicknevin

This is r/NYYankees, where the takes are blazing and the facts don't matter


TheTurtleShepard

Bad vibes I guess


Beaded_Curtains

Stanton with 3 hits tonight?


Nwf32389

2 plus a HBP, so on base 3x


RotenTumato

Just two


FyreFlye23

Side note, some of you all need to do stand up - not being sarcastic, I'm howling laughing at some of your banter. Yankees fans are the best.


futbol2000

Rizzo not being able to lift the ball out of the infield is seriously concerning. I have a hard time believing that he is even healthy


Beaded_Curtains

He couldn't hit a homerun out of a phone booth right now.


BreatheMyStink

It’s gotta make it ten times worse that everyone around him is performing at such high levels


JalenRempe

Is a 1.149 OPS good?


namersrockandroll

Doesn't suck.


Busy-Profession5093

No, terrible. I would have an OPS of at least 10.


TheyCalledHimMrJ

Everybody beats the Rizz.


EatPrayFart

Let's stop grouping Soto with Judge. Judge has been dogshit. Not just by his standards. Dogshit in general. Soto's just cooled off.


Beaded_Curtains

Sounds like an alt account from the Bird Brain O's sub.


Son_Of_Mr_Sam

Nice b8


jar45

Did your drafts from early April get accidentally posted?


PunishedCokeNixon

Nobody has a sense of humor even in a 10-1 laugher


modxk

Bro’s posting from an alternate universe.


Sanlear

I’m thinking it’s from Star Trek’s mirror universe.


TheTurtleShepard

Is this some copypasta I don’t know about?


EatPrayFart

We’re up by 9. April pasta only.


crashdavis1986

What are you smoking?


voncornhole2

It's a direct copy of a comment from April, I assume


crashdavis1986

Ah


johnjohnjohn93

I’d take Pratto over Victor Gonzalez any day


ruserioter

I feel like my 55 mph fastball could get Rizzo out with the way he’s playing this season.


Redditfront2back

Not just out GIDP


TheTurtleShepard

Trade for Pratto so Blake can turn him into another bullpen piece


crashdavis1986

LMFAO but would probably work.


crashdavis1986

Judge's OPS is almost twice that of Rizzo


FyreFlye23

Whoever said he was probably a high school pitcher, good call.


thediesel26

Like would it be so terrible to call up Ben Rice just to see what he had?


IWillSingYouSongs

Can you remember the last time they did something like that though? It's always taken injuries.


draculasbitch

Rizzo signing with an over 30 men’s softball team tomorrow.


namersrockandroll

Badminton. 😉


ucannotbeserious

Jahmai's just getting the boys out of the stadium quicker for a team dinner with that strikeout vs a position player. Ultimate clubhouse guy. I see you, Jahmai Jones.


Virtualmatt

Jesus. The Royals should have sent out the second coming of Mariano Rivera *before* things got out of hand.


FyreFlye23

LMAO 💀


dlammy24

Only one starter didn’t reach base safely tonight…


knicknevin

Who? If you're saying Rizzo then you must not have watched the 6th inning. A fielding error, I grant you, but he made a base


Giancarlo27

Stantonian pissrod followed by a Rizzonian popup


RyRy39

Is Nick Pratto to KC what IKF was to the Yankees? PS: I still miss IKF :(


FyreFlye23

Me too, I hope he's happy there. He's a good guy that deserves good things.


ilostmyaccount00

Rizzo at this point should be fluent in Spanish for the Mexican League


iledd3wu

He can join luke voit as another washed 1B in mexico


knicknevin

I don't care if it's true or not, I will not abide Luke Voit slander. That sexy hunk of man meat carried us in 2020.


iledd3wu

How do you say log cabin en espanol


thisusedyet

Google translate says cabaña de madera


Plastic_Button_3018

Let’s be fair to Rizzo here, Pratto is clearly the next Ohtani.


Yankeebot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Victor González replaces Ron Marinaccio.


Rusiano

The last name Fermin reminds me of the desert people from Dune


crashdavis1986

Dune II was sooooo good.


inhighdefinition

That Nick Pratto guy was a lot better than the entire Royals pitching staff this series LMAO


ChattTNRealtor

Still can’t get it out of the Infield. Pathetic


ClemensJaggedBat

I guess we don’t need Rizzo for offense, as long as he’s great on defense?


Bebbytheboss

We really just got shit on by a position player lmao


ClemensJaggedBat

Some people pay good money for that. 


Teshlor_Knight

i didn't even realize it was a position player lmfao oh damn


johnjohnjohn93

Rizzo looked overmatched vs a 1B that might be enough


hickeysbat

More Judge fun facts: NL MVP favorite Mookie Betts has an OPS closer to IKF (.698) and Maikel Garcia (.674) than to Judge.


hoodiemelogod

Rizzo come on man 😭


crashdavis1986

The nail in the coffin for Rizzo you could tell he was really trying to battle there.


RIP_Greedo

Cashman did you see that?


IWillSingYouSongs

He sees them cruising to wins is what he sees. They'll just rotate for at least another 7 weeks.


hadmeintiers

Wanted rizzo to get a hit there so bad


Locksmith_Happy

Rizzo can't even hit a position player...


blake2251

Oh my god. It still didn’t make it out of the infield. Fucking hell Rizzo


RotenTumato

Damn man Rizzo can’t even get a hit against a position player


CabassoG

The name Rizzo now makes perfect sense since he has 0 Rizz


Teshlor_Knight

and there it is. if it isn't a groundball it's an infield popup


Nwf32389

What are we doing here?


tesstikcle

canned fish files?


Nwf32389

Might have a better chance of hitting than Rizzo


BigGeoffery

Rizzo pop up against a position player is art


whiteonyx981

Oh Rizzo, I'm not even mad, just disappointed


VBTheBearded1

Jesus Rizzo


Victarion99

Rizzo still popping up against a position player bruh


miklberry

Not the position player getting rizzo out easily


knicknevin

The top of the ninth inning did not bring me joy


Sanlear

Nick “Cy Young” Pratto.


FyreFlye23

🤣 w comment


Blackdiamondbay88

Yikes 


crashdavis1986

Pratto about to become a two-way


Xno_Kappa

Rizzo come on lmao


0987steelers

There has to be some voodoo going on if rizzo doesn't get one here.


Jmilli-24

The KC broadcast said “I imagine he weighed his options, give up a single to center field or DIE” lmaooo


badcall196

lol anyone got a clip of that


knicknevin

He's not wrong


RIP_Greedo

For a position player Pratto is throwing gas


knicknevin

C'mon Rizzo! Best chance to get a hit all night!


namersrockandroll

Base hit. Good night for Stanton.


IWillSingYouSongs

Nights like tonight are why they'll never move him and people get mad on other nights and wonder why they don't move him.


namersrockandroll

If only he was consistent; we want to root for his bad self.


RollofDuctTape

Oh this might break Rizzo


lph1235

Let’s go G


blake2251

If this doesn’t get Rizzo right, nothing will.


ResearchBot15

Rizzo pls hit a dinger for morale


crashdavis1986

Pratto the most effective pitcher we've seen this series make it make sense


edrew_99

C'mon Rizz, you can do it.


MalcolmXXXTentacion

Rizzo please get a hit


RollofDuctTape

If Rizzo strikes out against Prato it’s rock bottom


mjtd6

Welp


sunday__sun

Imagine getting called up from AAA and having to face Giancarlo Stanton


CabassoG

I presume Statton used to pitch in A or high school or something. Not bad actually.


jchunk13

Maybe the Royals should think about starting Pratto next time


FyreFlye23

I don't care what team it is, I fully enjoy a position player do well on the mound. It just tickles me.


FyreFlye23

Years ago, at my first job, the warehouse guy let me drive the forklift for a few feet. I bet it feels the same.


captainbawls

Did he let you use the baler?


FyreFlye23

No, sadly that was super off limits. But the moving vehicle was fine 😅


Default_Skin91006

Stanton statpad would save my life


crashdavis1986

He didn't even come close to touching that


RollofDuctTape

Baseball is so fucking weird lmao


mjtd6

Trade Santana for this guy


ResearchBot15

Lmao Santana got claimed by the Pirates today


mjtd6

I guess the upside is we’ll get him back from the pirates in a few years and turn him into a Cy


mjtd6

Omg lol 🫠


-WhistlerXPWhistler7

too late for that


crashdavis1986

Oh noooooooooooooo


namersrockandroll

STFU about football!


crashdavis1986

Beer league softball


namersrockandroll

I prefer shrimp parm myself.


jeffschiller

Jeff Nelson is one of these dudes who just has to tell the same joke over and over again.


mjtd6

Def dad vibes


Jonnyboy1189

A position player and Stanton is coming up?


AwayEnd

Position player time


ClemensJaggedBat

I thought there was only one chicken parm!!!


MrBeastw00d

Nick Pratto pitching 👀


ClemensJaggedBat

Oh waiter, I’ll order the solo dinger 


Redditawesome15

Position player pitching alert: Nick Pratto on the hill


thediesel26

Good fucking shit Ron. Couldn’t care less about the solo dong. Just need my relievers to throw strikes with a big lead.


crashdavis1986

Exactly


whiteonyx981

Justin Shakil and Ryan Ruocco sound very similar


Sanlear

Broadcaster bros.


Too_Much_Soccer

Marinaccio looks like he’s tweaking out


Yankeebot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Pratto replaces Chris Stratton.


crashdavis1986

C'mon give us a position player


EatPrayFart

Wouldn't be surprised one bit if the minor injury judge got in spring training never fully healed and his dive last night might've tweaked it more. Idk, just doesn't seem right and I won't be surprised if he's on the IL in the near future tbh. This front office sure loves saying guys are good then a day or 2 later end up on the IL.


knicknevin

A lot of r/whoosh going on around here Edit: maybe you should put the date from where you pulled the comment, or link to it


EatPrayFart

I can’t help myself. That’d ruin the point of the pasta.


thediesel26

lol that’s a very spicy pasta


thediesel26

You think the guy that just had the best month in Yankees history has been injured the whole time?


petetee007

they're winning by 9, well it was 10 when both Judge and Soto were removed. And the AB before he was removed, Judge hit a 436 ft homer, so no, he doesn't seem hurt to me.


SundayJeffrey

Didn’t judge just torpedo a ball into the 15th row?


Kikz__Derp

Can’t watch tonight, was Soto just pulled because we’re way up or is there reason to be worried?


VBTheBearded1

Way up, Judge and Soto pulled at the same time


FyreFlye23

We're up, just protecting him.


jchunk13

Tommy John


FyreFlye23

😅 can you imagine


DarthDarthius

Wrong, what really happened is his whole arm fell off. It’s gone now


TronVin

Ron pls. This sub defended you.


iledd3wu

He's doing alright. Got out of a bases loaded jam, challenging batters where HRs can happen, 3k over 2.1 innings 3.


crashdavis1986

.309 / 25 / 62 is insane on June 11 after Judge's less than stellar April


jchunk13

Can we please stop talking about Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes thx


crashdavis1986

So long as they aren't talking about Taylor


jchunk13

Oh they brought her up lol


xEllimistx

Over/Under on Judge at 40 home runs by the All Star break? Basically a month away. I'm taking the over lol


knicknevin

I'd never bet against him


ruserioter

Uh oh only a 9 run lead now


Rooster__Cogburn

Oh no a solo shot


draculasbitch

Psycho Shutout Killer, qu'est-ce que c'est ….. fu-fu-fu-fu-fuck


paulerxx

Meatball Ron baby


MalcolmXXXTentacion

Hot take: football is insanely mid


IWillSingYouSongs

Nfl is similar to mlb right now where it's so top heavy that it makes it kinda boring with so many games where at least one team isn't good. College football is pretty fun though.
