Yikes. 3 walks in one inning and no runs given up.

Whew.

Always liked Jay Happ. But I hope we knock the #### out of him today.

with 2 strikes, Biggio's bat can't spend that much time on his shoulder

Ha. Yep!

Happ is known as one of the nicest guys in baseball so it’s sucks to hear how the Yankees have been toying with his playing time to avoid a player option. More reason to hate those turds.

Grichuk fighting a fly ball too. The hazy sky must be hard to pick up the ball.

Walker escaping another tough inning. 55 pitches through 2 innings. Might be another long pen day.

Vladdy looks like he is trying to sit in off speed stuff, and is behind on the fastball. Against Happ you have to sit fastball, because he will throw like 70% fastballs.

I think Vladdy has to start hunting fastballs and react to off speed mistakes.

Great play Espinal! That should be the end of Walker for tonight, not sure how he go out of everything giving up zero runs, but we'll take it.

Walker doing his best Houdini impression getting out of these innings. I would like to see them try and get one more out of him, but that might be playing with fire.

Looks like Walker may pitch in the 5th. Better have the bullpen ready to go.

Another fortuitous escape even though a run was given up. Can't keep paying with that fire (even if the 1st two Yanks got lucky hits).

I've never understood how people can complain about teams stealing signs, it's been apart of the game as long as signs have, and is within the rules. If you are worried about your signs being stolen, make them more difficult to steal.

Earlier this season, this club could find all kinds of different ways to lose....now they find all kinds of ways to win.

What a turn around and really something remarkable to see. Fun fun stuff.
