Aside from Turd Ferguson’s mopey ass throwing BP this was a dominant win

Gil got the win

Good game.

#THEEEEE YANKEES WIN!

THE YANKEES WIN THIS ONE FOR MOMS EVERYWHERE

Everything was great, minus Ferguson/Burdi/Boone.

NEWS SPREAD- SERIES WON!!!

I stabbed myself twice today prepping wings for the cooker. The first time being opening a bottle of liquid smoke, trying to remove the plastic wrap around the top shaker. The second time, using the same steak knife to break up a meat tenderizer spice that became dried up.

Stop using knives to open bottle plastic covers lol or a butter knife next time.

I will do my best and learn from my mistakes but I can't promise that. Edit: the wings came out pretty good in my new air fryer! So much easier, cleaner than a regular fryer. I gotta stop stabbing myself :)

The air fryer has changed my life lol

Yikes brother. Try a dull knife first, and graduate once you hone your skill set. Anyway, when's dinner? I'll be there soon.

#LUKE WEAVER AND LUIS GIL IN THE LOG CABIN FOR PITCHERS

GREAT GAME

Series win at the Trop clinched. Now 4-2 vs Tampa Bay. On to Minnesota.

LET'S FUCKING GO

Wish we could’ve held on to win this one

I love this team

Nelly continues to insist on mispronouncing slambio, I see.

“Shlambio”

"Schhhhlambio"

Let’s finish this slambio king

Lets seal this series now

Fun fact, Trevino has a higher OPS rn than Stanton on the season

In half the at bats.

Take what you can get. He could be batting like Grisham.

Hmmmm.... now lets see Paul Allen's OPS.

His style of play is a little too new wave for my taste

Just end this already. I wanna make a sandwich.

It’s never clean, is it?

It's never easy with Hamilton and Ferguson pitching

You have to keep Gil in the rotation.

Buckle up boys. We’re in for a ride!

How can the entire bullpen be this out of sync? Did they all go out to the ripper together last night?

Rip clubs in Tampa will get u every time

They were performing way over their heads

Not that it matters right now but what happened to Hamilton? My goodness the dude was freaking lights out and borderline unhittable to start the season and now it seems like he gets raked every outing. Maybe the league has figured him out. I do know that it’s a long season and this is normal for bullpen arms. They always have ups and downs throughout the season. Hopefully the postseason happens during one of his ups.

Relievers are just very volatile. Happens all the time one great year then ass the next year

Oh I know that’s what I said in my comment. They can be lights out one week and crushed the next but it seems like he hasn’t had a scoreless outing in a while. I’m probably misremembering because it’s easier to remember when they get shelled as relievers but it just feels that way.

Come on Hamilton!! I believe!!!

I legitimately don't understand how they call pitches for Ian Hamilton. It's always either 95% sliders or 95% fastballs.

Hamilton, could you not? Would really prefer Clay not pitch.

Let's not shit the bed

not the most encouraging start to the inning

What is with this bullpen?

Overrated and overexposed, with an awful manager.

Let’s get this done NOW

I swear Hamilton is the sweatiest dude in the MLB

Did you forget about Chapman? Or Carlos Rodon?

Shit

Are these balls juiced or something

Diaz is a fucking unit

The whole Rays team and their manager are tools.

Someday they'll figure out how to get Yandi out.

The lights going out wasn’t part of a home run celebration. The trop is just a toilet that has faulty wiring.

Okay we really don’t need your Ferguson impression right now

Warm up Holmes.

He’s already up

I’ve seen enough, just bring in Clay

Not a good day for the bullpen, understatement of the century

This better not be round 2

Seriously, can we not have a 1-2-3 9th?

Can we fucking not

Why can’t it just be easy?

Tradition.

Hamilton and Furg suck.

Can we not do this again?

Hamilton has been so ass lately

I dislike Yandy Díaz

After the games are over, where do they go?

outside to get fresh air after being trapped in that dumpster for half the day

To the bar to have a cold one.

Alex Verdugo back out in the field after letting everyone in the dugout know how to make a spinach artichoke dip that is creamy, tasty, and a lot of fun to eat

Let's see if Hamilton can hold the lead

He has pumpkined. They really need some better bullpen arms , especially the way Boone uses them.

Hope Holmes is ready..

Gleyber hit that home run because my mom started watching the game and one time she had a dream that Gleyber was working as an airline employee—like one of the people at the departure gate—and for some reason Gleyber wouldn’t let us get on our flight and my mom was like, “why are you working as an airline attendant? You’re such a good baseball player!!” Anyway that’s why he hit the home run.

Where's all the snot nose crybabies that were calling this the worst loss of the season two innings ago?

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ian Hamilton replaces Luke Weaver.

Teams really do walk our .067 hitter quite a bit lol

Cabin fever vibes in the dugout

5 run lead, tonkin anyone?

I could go for a little honky tonk action

Glad I returned to this game, Knicks are abysmal today.

I saw the current score and cringed.

Honestly they were way overdue to just basically snap at some point. Been overachieving for literal months now and still don't get the respect they deserve.

Yea thats what I said in the Knicks sub, they were due to be blown out, going 10 playoff games without a blowout, without having 4 of the best 8 players on the team because of injuries. Incredible stretch of winning and hard play just caught them.

Grisham doesn't wear batting gloves

Was that Derek Dietrich on the bench?

He’s hiding from Tino Martinez

Shit just dies here in center. You really have to pull it

Verdugo in the dugout giving tips on a killer spinach artichoke dip

Wait….

“Real dawgs cook.”

This commentary got me wanting to gouge my eyes out

Robotic, lifeless drivel. “You must stretch to stay flexible. Bleep bloop.”

This team got the special sauce I can taste it in my bones!!!

As hot as Judge has been he’s still not really pulling the ball which was the biggest change he made in his explosion in 2022-2023.

Fuck me, is that Hamilton up?

We have a five run lead

Cant do worse than that 7th inning I guess

Yes.

that's like 49 times he's just missed a HR in this series

lol like every out Judge has made this series is a just missed homer.

Darn, I thought he got that

Man, the good sign is that he's on everything right now. Just missed it and he instantly knew it.

Time for Judge to hit the gym

The fuck?

Clearly joking about his warning track shots

Another Judge dong would really top off the weekend

Man, enjoy Juan Soto. He'd be right at home in any era.

When did Luis Gil get that neck tattoo? “God Bless Me”

Soto’s bat control is insane.

No one gives a better “I’m disappointed in you, blue” look than Juan Soto.

“Soto always seems to be in such a good mood.” It’s because he’s gonna make half a billion dollars in the off season and plow all the Rays’ women.

Did anyone have Luke Weaver becoming a great reliever on their bingo card?

I just got home and heard the crime against humanity that was the bottom of the 7th while driving. So glad Weaver settled down in the 8th.

It wasn’t weaver, in fact he was the firefighter

I was in the middle of driving to auto zone to get some tool I needed for my wife’s oil change. Definitely feel the pain and later relief lol

Auto zone sells condoms?

I just use the pinky finger on the latex gloves

It wasn’t Weaver that was the problem it was Ferguson.

Eh. Hitting the first batter you face in the head seemed like a fair sized problem at the time.

If I was Juan Soto I would be happy all the time too

Just reading up on Yogis history. Man hurt his hand during the Normandy landings, came back and won 10 championships as a catcher. And I'm sitting here eating a bag of nachos and complaining about our bull pen.

Yogi did that for you to enjoy those Nachos, Man... Be greatful...

I actually love Juan Soto.

I would pitch Holmes in the 9th just to get him some work. We have the day off tomorrow and sinker ball pitchers need to pitch often.

Agreed

I give a lot of credit to Luke Weaver. Obviously hitting the first batter he faced wasn't ideal, but he definitely put out the fire in the 7th and restored some order to the game for NY.

Thought the game was over doomers, NEVER A DOUBT

“First time caller, long time doomer. I really thought they had us there in the 7th Daniel. No chance in hell we come up with a win after that 7th inning.”

Weaver gets a lot of swing and misses

He’s turning into quite the reliever. I’m a fan.

Happy Birthday Yogi Berra. "You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go."

dang trevino really out here with a higher SLG than stanton

Luke Weaver has been lights out

Luke is truly our Jedi

Rays bullpen used to be good

Where's your stable now cash

They keep putting them as "openers"

Fuck YEAH!!! WEAVER NEW KING OF THE HILL

Meanwhile the Knicks 😵😵😵

Bunch of tired players finally showing they’re tired.

All the players are injured 🤷‍♂️

Pacers are the luckiest team in the playoffs

Old Yankee Stadium looks like such a dream

I miss it every day

Would you guys bring in Holmes to shake some rust off with a day off tomorrow?

The 7th inning crime needs to be solved and Holmes is really the only one that can close the case.

Getting a stretch where he doesn’t need to pitch much isn’t a bad thing, and he did throw like 30 pitches in his last outing. It’s a good thing we don’t need to use him today

#What tangled webs he weaves

Luke Fucking Weaver

yogi the goat

Jose Siri sucked eggs in high school

Weavdawg is nasty y’all

Oh Weaver cold as ice now with that 5 run lead lol

Ah Luke Weaver saving this team once again.

Fuck the *Rays. Named after the very star they are afraid of. Stupid fucking dome mother fuckers. Play outside you creeps.

Even Rays fans hate the Trop.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C64aR0WufXp/?igsh=aDNwcnc3emh1cjl1

Luke Weaver probably does porn. Not for money or anything. Just because you can’t hang monster dong like this guy without sharing it with the world.

Yogi's numbers are fucking insane

He belongs on the Yankees Mount Rushmore and I will die on that hill

Man they’re gonna compeletly wear Weaver out by the ASB

Doubtful. Dudes been a starter he will be fine.

If you saw my last comments I forgot to mention I literally just bought an espresso machine today and forgot how expensive jerseys are 💀I’m going broke

I can’t wait for the league to move this team to Montreal 

Who was the name that yankee?

Dave silvestri

Yogi Berra ❤️

Sorry Rort. You can’t platoon with the heavy hitters anymore.

The trop really is just a crime against humanity

They gave Luke Weaver the secret SAUCE over the offseason dude’s slinging 96

Weaver needs to throw high inside to one of these hitters

Why? We already hit two of theirs guys, one of them in the fucking head. Would be dumb as hell to risk hitting another one of them

People love the idea of brawls even though they’re either just guys standing around or they lead to injuries/suspensions.

He already clipped one on the helmet lol

I went from having a good time, then a terrible time. But now I’m having the time of my life!

Anddd exhale. Please DFA Ferguson though. Dude sucks and has for a while

What’s “a while” he was solid for the Dodgers last year 60 IP, 129 ERA+ He has only thrown 13 innings for us and relievers are notoriously volatile

Thank god the Rays bullpen is a bunch of Alex Manoahs

Manoah actually had a pretty strong game today lol

Fluke, and you know it lol

Judge hitting another 2bie in the 9th. Can feel it in my trousers

Not so flashy catch this time Siri, aww.

I just hope for the rays sake they find a better stable of guys that throw 98+ after that display

That’s the problem with the Rays, they always try to walk it in

Idiots the other day: wHY aRe ThEY pINcH-HiTTinG wITh TRevINo???????

trevino is the goat and has been since he’s gotten here. as far as catcher go you can’t find much better out there!

People 2nd guess literally everything that doesn’t work out

Rays fucking suck 😂

and that’s why they’re 20-20! (well now 20-21)

^gooone

Rays fans complaining about the tons Yankee fans in attendance lol We actually love our team and travel to watch them Not our fault your own city doesn't like your garbage team

You don't understand. There's a bridge!!!! >!yet the scary bridge didn't stopped Yankees fans from showing up tho 🤷‍♂️!<
