DJ ALL DAY.

Boone freaking sucks.

[SixFeetDeep]

What a crazy freaking game

YESSSS I'm going to bed

Biggest surprise of the night:

Tanaka going deeper in this game than Carlos Carrasco

My blood pressure was through the roof after what transpired before the 2nd rain delay

[SixFeetDeep]

Tanaka avg exit velocity

Inning 1: 99 mph
Innings 2-5: 82 mph

You could tell his body language was horrible and he didn’t have command on his breaking pitches in that monsoon. Just saw the RBI double Ramirez had to go up 1-0 and the splitter didn’t break an inch.

So lucky he was able to find it in the 2nd inning.

Longest 9 inning game in MLB history, not even including the rain delays lmao

It felt like every almost every pitching change by either team backfired

This play was nearly as big as the grand slam

[AlioTheFool]

Just an incredible win and worth the loss of sleep to watch

The Gio play is, to me, the most important event in the game's result. So many big moments, but that was the #1 thing to me

This game was marred by poor decision making from every angle; from both managers completely mismanaging their pens, to inexplicable PH/defensive subs, to poor ball/strike calls, to unbelievably bad weather-suspension decisions

How do you pinch hit for Naylor? That kid lost 2 ABs, one of which would've been in the ninth

If I'm him, I'm flipping tables in the locker room after the game

If Tito was managing, I'm not sure the Yankees are advancing right now

I mean I agree, but there’s no guarantee Naylor hits a 2 run double there where Luplow did. It missed being a HR by 5 ft. So saying PHing Luplow lost them the game is just factually incorrect.

I didn't mean just that move lost them the game

Certainly letting Hand go as long as they did was a mistake. Also letting Karinchak go too long as well

I'd equate PH Luplow with Boone subbing Wade for Voit. You just can't take bats like those out of the lineup for guys on the interstate

It was just a bunch of questionable managerial moves on both sides, which the players kept surmounting. Just glad in the end it was the Yanks who were just a bit better (thanks Gio!)

Also, screw MLB and the umpires for allowing forcing Tanaka to throw so many pitches in the pouring rain
