The Yankees Cock Slap The O's And Continue To Be An Unstoppable Freight Train
The Yankees are a goddamn freight train right now. They’ve won 22 of 29, which is the best in baseball in that span. They’ve scored 10+ runs in three straight games. They’ve hit one billion home runs against the O’s this year. They’re pitching. They’re hitting. They’re fielding. There’s nothing anyone can do right now to stop them. Last year they lost these games to inferior opponents. In 2019? They’re stomping on necks. They’re locked in on every pitch. They feed off of one another. The winning feeling is contagious in that clubhouse, and Aaron Boone needs to start getting a lot of credit for holding it all together.
On Tuesday they decided they had enough of coming from behind. It took three batters for the them to grab a three run lead and never look back. Gary Sanchez continued his assault on mankind with his 14th blast of the year.
He will not rest until he finds every fuck face who doubted him last year and gave up on the best hitting catcher in the sport. The man is on a mission. He’s going to be your starting catcher in Cleveland for the Mid-Summer Classic. He’s going to win comeback player of the year. The only question left is if he’ll give Javy Lopez a run for his money for the single season home run record by a catcher at 42. As long as he stays on the field, he will challenge that number.
The one guy who hasn’t really hit of late, Clint Frazier, blasted two bombs in this one.
If he gets going again, along with everyone else who is on fire, then the world itself might collapse. How many runs can you score every night? At what point do we think about the opposing pitchers’ families?
Domingo German now has nine wins after his victory on Tuesday. That’s the most in Major League Baseball if you were counting at home. He didn’t need to do much in this one, and only went five frames to cruise for the W. The only runs that came off of him came in the 5th with New York out in front 9-0. That seems to be the only time he ever gives up anything these days. Domingo is magical.
The train keeps rolling tomorrow with CC on the bump. Let’s get the big fella win number 249. Turn off the lights.
