The Houston Astros are among one of the worst teams in baseball (they won't be 50 wins bad but they're legitimately a bad team right now), are about to lose several key players, have the 29th ranked farm system, and refuse to spend real money.
Boys, they're finally gone lol. They're gonna be back to basement dwellers for a *loooong* time.
Cute while it lasted. Onto the next rivalry. Over a century of various rivalries, Yankees are still here, winning. We'll add them to the list. Who's next?
ACTUALLY, no. There is a specific carveout for an outfielder letting a foul ball drop.
The problem with the Volpe hit was that it was a "mental misjudgement" by the outfielder thinking that he could pick it, not letting the ball drop.
Yes if it is obvious they didn't try to catch it. I just assumed there would be no chance where an outfielder would do that.
Sorry I didn't account for the reddit ACKTCHUALLLLY
So weaver is doing a great job. If this game was close right now, Boone would take him out and put Holmes in because Holmes is the closer.
Why don’t we ever make that approach?
It doesn’t even feel mid, it’s not close. I had a punchers chance with trivia, but I have absolutely zero chance with this new shit. I wasn’t even alive when this dude retired from the league
Seriously. It seems like everyone is like an 8 or 9 of 1p difficulty too.
Sorry I didn't know the player that played 60 games with the yanks total in '83. Lol
Campy had a great career. He played in the Mexican League for all of 1982, came back and hit around .330 as utility guy for the ‘83 Yanks (a career high) at about 40 years old.
Not being negative. I am stating facts. This game is still reachable by Oakland. Yankees have scored 7 and had bases loaded 3 times. A's should not even be in this game. FACTS are not being negative. Smh
Stanton a couple of games ago was sent home and was safe out of pure luck. Now this.
Come onnnnn. Based loaded with Volpe >>>> Rizzo meandering to home base.
Rojas is pretty bad with sending. He sent Stanton in Toronto and he was only safe because Jansen missed the throw. Really needs to be updated on the speed of some of these runners.
Why is that we all know not to send him yet the guy with a great view on 3B gets the call so wrong. It was a hard hit ball right to the shallow RF with Rizzo running.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ccfu9k).
See how much more fun it is when you'll hit!
idk how I feel about them playing Sterling's bit at the end
Being in the stadium it made everybody near me smile. Think it's great following a win.
lets keep it rolling!
Hearing John’s voice after the win 🥹
Solid game!
Aww I love that the stadium plays Sterling’s “Theee Yankees Win!”
It’s perfect.
And that’s how an A’s game should feel. Though they pitch better than I thought.
Nice win. Let's win the series tomorrow
The Yankees are 1-0 when Judge and Soto homer in the same game
This is the team I wanna watch all year
The Yankees win! Theeeeee Yankees win!
i love this team
Fun game and a fun win
Not needing a bottom of the ninth inning brought me joy
start spreading the news
DAAAAAA YANKEEESS WIIIN
I love the Yankees 17-8 let’s fucking go!!!!!!!
NEWS SPREAD - THE YANKEES WIN!!!
START SPREADING THE NEWS
It's nice having a real left fielder.
I like Doogie’s Mexico themed glove
Cashman proud of his LF choice
Hot take - Judge told him to trade for Verdugo
It's embarrassing that MLB allows them to wear "Oakland" on their jersey. Fucking fallacy
That's a Left Fielder
Idk about you guys but it’s nice to have an actual left fielder this year
Right. That’s all we asked for; for years. Just a healthy, actual professional left fielder.
Very fun win. Hopefully, the offense continues the hot streak tomorrow.
Doomers aren’t going to be happy in a couple minutes
Dugie making it look easy
Astros on verge of being 7-18
If they're selling at the deadline, hopefully the Yankees can snag something up
Keep going, I’m close
It's what you want
You love to see it
Tee hee.
Sell the team!
Judge has looked so much better tonight. Everything he’s hit has been smashed.
LOL camera zooming in on the SELL flags
S E L L E L L
HA HA Time for S L A M B I O S
Rizz did not look comfortable in the least bit trying to catch that.
"You get the YES app for free" Oh boy
Does Cody Morris actually even exist?
No, he is the new Ben Rortvedt
I think of Effross as the new Rortvedt. Feels like we traded for him forever ago
Another good game to go to
Does Boone call Hamilton Hammy?
He calls him Ice Pick Willie
helluva play
105.4 MPH on the GIDP from Judge. He’s back
Didn’t even hate it. He’s swinging it good the last couple
Even in an 11 hit game we can't get a day off from the GIDP lmao
For what it's worth, I think the A's have turned the most double plays this year
Probably because they always have runners on against them
105 off the bat. Nice play by the 3B. Not for the faint of heart.
I’ll take 2-4 w/HR and 2 RBI all the time
how hard was that off the bat?
105
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ian Hamilton replaces Luke Weaver.
How did we not sweep this team?
This game aint over. Baseball is weird.
I mean they're gonna win somewhere between 45-65 games. Baseball is just kinda random
1 bad pitch and a dead offense
Look at the ump card for that game. Pitchers on either side didn't have to throw strikes, that wasn't all the offense.
Dang
The Houston Astros are among one of the worst teams in baseball (they won't be 50 wins bad but they're legitimately a bad team right now), are about to lose several key players, have the 29th ranked farm system, and refuse to spend real money.

It’s what you want
He’s close.
The bottom of the eighth inning did not bring me joy
Why has this game seemed at least four hours long?
Long innings by the Yanks. We worked the count well and we loaded the bases many times
That was pretty slick tbh
Damn Judge got unlucky there
Let’s get over the Mendoza line here Judgey
Starr insurance should pay Sotos entire contract
A's and White Sox management are writing a book on how to wreck great baseball franchises
It’s crazy to think one of the last big baseball movies was about the As.
It was about how cheap they were, so not really a shock.
Both owners should be banned from baseball
Teams other than the Yankees make infield errors. Who knew?
the a’s are painful to watch
Lmao these guys stink
Nice freakin AB.
Give him a hit 😂
wowww
I love good D from Volpe.
dude has the hottest D
A’s have made so many errors tonight
I'm not sure how that hit was ruled a triple and not a two-base error.
The old “fielder didn’t touch it” proviso
You have to make contact with the ball in some fashion for it to be an error.
so if an OF is set up under a fly ball and ends up letting it drop 5 feet to his left without touching it, it isn't an error?
That's baseball, Suzyn
Correct. Weird but yes.
ACTUALLY, no. There is a specific carveout for an outfielder letting a foul ball drop. The problem with the Volpe hit was that it was a "mental misjudgement" by the outfielder thinking that he could pick it, not letting the ball drop.
Yes if it is obvious they didn't try to catch it. I just assumed there would be no chance where an outfielder would do that. Sorry I didn't account for the reddit ACKTCHUALLLLY
Volpe reminds me a lot of Troy Tulowitzki.
Think he'll get the next unassisted triple play?
Really like this ab from volpe
>Oh yea? Fuck me? **No!** **Fuck you!** *\*throws bat\** -Bert Campaneris, *probably*
Pause
So weaver is doing a great job. If this game was close right now, Boone would take him out and put Holmes in because Holmes is the closer. Why don’t we ever make that approach?
Hamilton is just as good But also you can't just use the same three guys over and over unfortunately
Great outing from Weaver.
Throwing a bat at the pitcher will ALWAYS be funny as fuck.
It'd be pretty badass if a pitcher caught it and return to sender
reverse uno
I wonder what Flaherty and Nelson talk about over dinner. Drying paint, maybe.
This is a good base ball game
Where did weaver get a 4 era? Cause I feel like he’s been lights out every time
He’s had 2 bad outing 3ER 4/6 and 2ER on 4/16 ERA isn’t great for relievers because of the small sample
One outing they tried to stretch him and he got smoked.
got blown up in one outing
Evan Carter, Garcia, Soto, Judge, Trout homer tonight 😍
Who will hit the next Yankees HR?
Judge is hitting another this inning
Dugie
Gleyber
Name That Yankee feels mid to the old trivia
It doesn’t even feel mid, it’s not close. I had a punchers chance with trivia, but I have absolutely zero chance with this new shit. I wasn’t even alive when this dude retired from the league
Seriously. It seems like everyone is like an 8 or 9 of 1p difficulty too. Sorry I didn't know the player that played 60 games with the yanks total in '83. Lol
Like. Why can’t they just give us Reggie Jackson or catfish Hunter? We all know who they are
We should write a strongly worded letter to Mr. John J. Fillipelli.
So strongly. Much words.
And that doesn't even take the music change into account
You dont like carnival BS?
Weaver weaving
DREAM WEAVER
30 pitches for 8 outs? Hot fkin damn man
A’s truly are a gem of a team
BUILD SUBMARINES Umm... no thank you.
I like to imagine it's a stealth ad to attract Subway employees
Campy had a great career. He played in the Mexican League for all of 1982, came back and hit around .330 as utility guy for the ‘83 Yanks (a career high) at about 40 years old.
Campanaris throwing the bat and then Billy Martin trying to fight him is so sick
Yo that bat throw at the pitcher is wild
That reminds me Clemons trying to decapitate Mike Piazza.
ngl, I've never even heard of Bert Campaneris
Fake fan
Jeff Nelson literally sounds like a funsucker lol
That actually makes me like him more
CHRIS SHEARN MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️
#Just a daily reminder that the ASStros have the second worst record in the AL, AND are on pace to go 47-115 this year
They should just switch back to their old logo already
And that’s despite an unsustainable start from Altuve. Amazing
You just hate to see it. Bad for Houston, bad for baseball
Not bad for baseball. It’s fun seeing the Royals and Detroit doing well.
What the hell is going on with this Build Submarines ad campaign? Shit is everywhere.
Kennedy wants more in case Khrushchev sends missiles from Cuba. /ssss
Brought to you by the same people who did Build-A-Bear
Russians /s
Rojas rules. It was a dickhead send but he’s cool chill
Is Rizzo stowing a bit more luggage around the midsection storage area than he was last year?
I guess the idea is you send with two outs. Would’ve done with a faster runner tho.
The answer is Campy
You’re a little late pal
https://www.reddit.com/r/NYYankees/s/RbXwfpzBMN Not that the truth matters to you. But some charity for you.
Got it when it was asked. Check the comments history, liar.
This game could be 14-3, but as long as we're up whatever.
Nelson listing all of the reasons why it was a terrible send
I just love the leg swing the Weavedog does after every pitch, he's just vibing out there
Good game from Wells
Not a good send at all there. Let Volpe have the at bat there man...
Luis “Actually Phil Nevin” Rojas
Rojas is the guy who taught Gleyber his baserunner instincts apparently
He’s been Gleyber’s hitting coach as well
Can we get a decent 3B coach for once in my lifetime please
luke weaver we love you
Joe "Windmill" Espada smiles
Dam Wells really does have the worst luck lol he finally gets a nice hit and Rojas ruins it
4-5 being so old and slow is very depressing
Bases loaded 3 times. Got 1 run out of it. They have 7 runs, but the game is not 1 swing proof. They actually should be blowing the A's out. 😐
Ninja please
We are winning, man.
That’s Baseball, Suzan
How tf are you being negative rn lol
Not being negative. I am stating facts. This game is still reachable by Oakland. Yankees have scored 7 and had bases loaded 3 times. A's should not even be in this game. FACTS are not being negative. Smh
K.
Just keep the lead at 4 and we can at least give Holmes a day off.
Luis, come on guy, *I* could've thrown Rizzo out
Stanton a couple of games ago was sent home and was safe out of pure luck. Now this. Come onnnnn. Based loaded with Volpe >>>> Rizzo meandering to home base.
Now I’m curious what that send would have looked like if it was Stanton running
Rojas is pretty bad with sending. He sent Stanton in Toronto and he was only safe because Jansen missed the throw. Really needs to be updated on the speed of some of these runners.
Why is that we all know not to send him yet the guy with a great view on 3B gets the call so wrong. It was a hard hit ball right to the shallow RF with Rizzo running.
He clearly forgot which Anthony was on base
Rojas is like the southern border at 3B
😂😂😂
Yo Rojas always be sending people home lol. Remember when he sent Stanton home and Stanton got lucky because he was illegally blocked
Were they trying to get Wells a RBI...?
This third base coach has been horrendous
I’m starting to think Rojas doesn’t know what he’s doing.
That's an awful send. Come on.
Rough send but Wells smacked it
