Sending Yesavage and Gausman to the bullpen was just to put that thought in Aaron Boone’s and the Yankees’ heads.

Put that in your pitch-tipping pipe and smoke it, Yankees.

From Jim Bouton’s iconic Ball Four.

The only thing that makes me happier than a dejected Yankees dugout is seeing Yankee fans heading for the exits before the game is over.

Have you met Mickey Lolich? Portly portsider threw 300+ innings four times.

No worries.

Better to miss outside the strike zone than inside it.

John Smoltz all but said he had no idea who Yesavage was.
That’s just incredibly lazy.

D.M. Fox @dmfox.bsky.social · 10h

Not to mention there was always the hope a pitch would come too close to the strike zone.

D.M. Fox @dmfox.bsky.social · 10h

I miss the real intentional walk. It didn’t take that long, and really helped build some drama.

Eight month old puppies don’t understand the importance of playoff baseball.
