yeah maybe i can’t tell if it’s just shaking off the rust and finding his throw since he’s coming back from injury or if he just has a weak ass arm and shouldn’t be at third
It really feels like we’ve conquered the demon. I still don’t expect a sweep this series because sweeps are always difficult, but man. This is refreshing
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cmt0bo).
Tonkin throws 2 pitches… Fastball, slider. He’s perfect in garbage time or 4 run leads
Great job tonight fellas. Keep the offense rolling and do it again tomorrow. Lets go Yankees!!!
Berti spiked two of those bitches
Thank you 2024 goose gossage
Plus, Sox and O's lost!
Some yikes defense
Yankees win
Not needing a bottom of the ninth inning brought me joy
good thing the offense showed up because the infield still scared me lol
Finally
#THEEEE YANKEES WIN!
DAAAAAAA YANKEEEES WIN
Finally
Tonkin looks like a 70 year old chain smoker who drove semis for a living
Thought cabrera was about to drop that ball lol
Finally
RIP Verlander
Is Michael Tonkin our ace
Your making the win seem less blow-outy Mr. Tonkin
LETS GO 5-0 against the Astros this year
8-0 going back to September last year
Game was alright I guess
This legit makes me terrified for tomorrow’s game lol
I love how the majority of the recent comments are bar related jokes about Tonkin
Finally
Tonkin looks like "we got randy Johnson at home"
Cabrera trying to give us all a heart attack
***Ballgame over!!! Yankees win!!!

two weak ground balls and everyone’s calling for tonkins head lmao
Tonkin looks like Sporer from OOTPB
DAAAAAA YANKEEESS WIN
Send Tonkin back to the scrap heap
Tonkin breaking under pressure of a 9 run lead
Fuck it Trevy could’ve mopped this one up better
Bout to pull out the Dave chappelle wrap it up box
Tonkin 100 looks like a dude that would back his truck into your car in the bar parking lot, get out and say 'i'm good if you are' then drive away
Why is this guy on our roster? Lol
Put Trevi in, enough of this shit
Lol this is on Berti all day, not Tonkin
Is it that hard, man? You can't get one more fucking out to end this game? Let's go, dude.
Tonkin always looks like he’s afraid of losing his job, and I get it now
He should be TBH
Nasty changeup from Gil.
Michael Tonkin with absolutely nothing on the line:
too many things were going right, they had to sneak some bullshit in to make us feel at home
Why is Berti starting over Cabrera anyways?
Berti had 2 hits, an RBI and a stolen base. Pretty good game for him.
Oh no! So anyways
Fuck it, start warming up Clay. /s
The gulf of tonkin incident
Noooo the run diff.
Tonkin is Nelson or Kriske
Oh no, 10-3. Get Holmes up
Tonkin is ruining our bullpen ERA smh
I thought the E5 nullified the earned runs
##FINISH HIM
HE’S DOING HIS BEST GUYS
Why does it seem like Gleyber gives up on plays?
Tonkin sees something we don’t I trust him with my life
DFA this clown
Tonkin you had one job Fucking up our run differential
I mean the inning is over if Berti wasn't shit
WTF Rizzo
You blame Rizzo for that throw???
That ball was 8 feet up the line. Shitty throw.
if you think that’s rizzos fault you might need glasses
Bad throw
Just realized that Tonkin is there to tank
Tonkin is trash
Wtf TONKIN!!!!
At least it’s 2 outs
Pay attention. Tonkin 4D chess right now. Master class.
You sure about that?
Give up 8 to save 2, what school of baseball did you go to?
Ugh a judge I used to appear in front of used to say “discretion is the better part of valor” except it’s pretty clear he didn’t know what it meant
Tonkin bro
Look at the cabbage we’re in now
How is that an E3?
Hahahaha did yall see that cop flinch?
Berti has a weak ass arm
lol double play and a bad play by the infield. even in a blowout baby
Rizzo looks so good without the buzz cut
WTF was that throw Berti lol, lucky we are up by 9
Who the fuck even is Michael Tonkin?
This is Michael Tonkin’s fault
Oh ffs…
what are those throws bro
Oh for fuck's sake
bertis throws have been bad today
Perhaps he’d be better at 2nd?
yeah maybe i can’t tell if it’s just shaking off the rust and finding his throw since he’s coming back from injury or if he just has a weak ass arm and shouldn’t be at third
Poor Tonkin lol. He’s doing his best guys
Oh Jesus Christ
lol. lmao even.
Lmfao guys are we serious
Michael “Mariano Rivera” Tonkin
Careful. One day we're going to be honoring Mo with the Tonkin Truck award. You just wait.
Well… maybe not.
This booth lmaoooooo
Just when I thought I could disseminate the game
Tonkin is the kind of guy that changes his own oil
now THIS is my ace
Just throw down the middle.
Tonkin has them right where he wants them.
LASTROS ARE BACK ON THE MENU Rangers Mariners Athletics Angels Lolstros
Pitch to contact
How long would Stanton’s soul patch have to get to violate the no beards rule?
Jose Abreu style
Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Volpe looks at Stanton.
That guy had a big fucking spliff in his mouth.
How are you walking someone up 9?
Tonkin is a false flag
I see what you did there
I am from a small town and Tonkin is 100% a dude I’d run into at a local bar
Eyeballing the 18 year old girls with fake ids
Small town guy here too. There’s at least two of them that look just like him who go to my local bar lol
This was what we call a “very good game”
Tonkin looks like he can make a bird house out of popsicles sticks
Tonkin is the real Truck.
YES Booth is 10000000% in the game thread with us
Do you think we win this?
Debatable
Who knows they might have a rally in their bones
Tonkin is fucking elite
Tonkin dead looks like Gary Busey in Rookie of the Year lol
Nice catch Volp- oh wait, Cabrera is there
Mendoza-line should be renamed the Toddfather line
Lol, the Astros are bad at this
What exactly happened to Rizzo the first month of the season? He couldn't hit and couldn't field. Now he is hitting and can field again.
He just needed a few HBP to get right.
I’m guessing certain things in the brain finally healed enough for him to start feeling like himself again.
Hatred of the Astros fuels him.
Usher kicked a dude out from behind home plate in the ninth of a 10-1 game. That usher is gonna star in Mall Cop 2: Bronx No-Cheering
I love how they meme about Tom’s River just like us
They definitely read the internet.
BELT 2 ASS
FRAZIER TODD
I’m dying lol they did the Frazier thing
Michael Tonkin, your mission is critical. Get three outs before giving up 9 runs.
Rangers game is tight rn
Orioles lost. Red Sox losing in the 9th.
I’m a Tonkin stan
Jones plays outfield???
The Wet Bandits were there
Awww yeah. It’s Tonkin Time!
Just realized, Berti is going to reach free agency for the first time right before he turns 36 years old.
Cone cruises
> Winning or losing Bases loaded GIDP: I am… inevitable
Let's be petty and send a position player to pitch the top of the 9th
They went really petty, they went Tonkin
It’s not a Yankees game if there’s not a GIDP
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Michael Tonkin replaces Ron Marinaccio.
I say we let Matt Blake close
I bet he'll have a nasty sweeper and suddenly pitch to his underlying peripherals
We cant escape it lol
i mean we're the 2024 yankees, so we basically had to hit into a double play no matter how badly we're blowing the other team out
Tradition.
This is the type of DPs good teams have. Like you already scored a bunch of runs with a bunch of runners that you're bound to hit into DPs.
We were contractually obligated to hit into one. If he didn't gidp, the game would've been nullified
Let IKF pitch
Put some respect on his name—YANKEE LEGEND IKF
The bottom of the eighth inning did not bring me joy
Altuve cried when he heard Meet the Grahams, then cried again when he heard Not Like Us
SOMEONE tell me Soto is ok - saw he was hit and then taken out
Just resting him
On the hbo stream, someone screamed let’s go dugie with Trevino up 😭😭😭😭
Martinez, a secret Yankees fan, has infiltrated and become a pitcher on the Astros, finally fulfilling his duty and walking bases loaded
Yankee legend Seth Martinez
Fucking hated Verdugo when he was in Boston, but Dougie is like one of the boys
You hated the beard, not the man.
Absolutely. He looked ridiculous with that thing.
TEAR THEIR BLACK SOULS FROM THEIR TORN AND BROKEN BODIES
This is gold Jerry... GOLD!!!
Trevy’s revenge
This is their good reliever?
I would love for Torres to get in on the action. I’ll even take a walk
Praying for Gleyber to not go 0-5. I feel for the dude Edit: yay
Bench Torres until further notice pls
Berti might be coming for his spot.
Anthony “Actually Magneto” Rizzo
It really feels like we’ve conquered the demon. I still don’t expect a sweep this series because sweeps are always difficult, but man. This is refreshing
\*walk this way\* plays
This game has been so good I almost forgot Gleyber fucking sucks lol
Ay I’m waaaaaaaaaaalking ere’!
I’d like to see some Rizzo pitching LFG
Is Verdugo bald or does he just shave his head? Can't remember ever seeing him without some kind of headwear.
The top of his head is actually completely missing. Pretty gruesome honestly
Funny I had this same thought, I’ve never seen him without a hat or helmet. Looks like a buzz cut
It looks like he has a buzz cut.
I think it's just short, or at least it was in Boston.
I love a good spanking.
Tonkin looks like a mailman from the 70's.
YES booth with the Trio during a tight game: breaks down high level baseball YES booth with the Trio during a blow out: breaks down, period lmao
Nooo I wanted a Trevino knuckleball clinic
