So did/should Ford have gotten plunked after this one?

Another walk-off, a new hero for 90-win Yanks

Mike Ford had three innings of notice to prepare for his pinch-hitting opportunity on Sunday afternoon, and it proved to be the type of moment that the rookie slugger said he has been attempting to picture for years.

Admiring his moon shot, bat flip, slow walk down first base line.

I'm sure I can find more, even just from this season.

The practice needs to stop. Some of these pitchers have trouble locating the zone. But we should feel comfortable in them purposely plugging a guy in the back risking injury to spine, neck, head?

Hope Correa likes a fastball between the numbers... Because it's coming

Who cares? He hit a walkoff HR in the 11th inning, and looked to his bench and the fans.

I don’t care, but I’d guess he will if he gets hit at 100 mph.

10/13/19 11:06pm

If he would have pimped a 3rd inning homerun like that CC would have thrown at him (even though he wouldn't a chance"

You people need to calm down

Dude needs to act like a professional... Part of policing the game

Another dumb thing about baseball

AD4

10/13/19 11:13pm

Your feelings are hurt because he hit a home run to win. Just admit it and move on.

10/13/19 11:16pm

Lol... Every game has a winner and loser, so I'm good with it

Are you this juvenile about everything or only when losing by soul crushing walk off homeruns in the ALCS?

10/13/19 11:25pm

You know it is the playoffs. Did you say the same thing about Boone’s

Yes, I have. Do you want to answer the question?

I'll spell it out for you... It's.Part. of. The. Game.

So your answer is no. Holding to barbaric traditions is stupid.

"Barbaric?" LOL.

Solid counter argument. Really strong.

Easy. Why is this so personal to you?

Carnac

Is there another sport where you can injure an opponent just because they

SandYFan

10/13/19 11:53pm

Are you a sore loser in everything or just when your yanks lose?

10/14/19 5:16am

Yes and there are some parts of the game that are archaic and stupid.

gmj81

10/13/19 11:24pm

Calm down. It is part of the game and has gone on for well over a century.

Sure thing, tough guy.

Don't want to see the antics? Don't give up a walk-off HR in the LCS.

A walk off? In extra innings? In the LCS? In front of home crowd, many of whom

There are two ways to handle a loss. And you’re doing it wrong.

Because of the bat flip? That isn't even remotely similar.

I’m just saying that you don’t know what you are talking about

Don't know how you think he showed up the pitcher. Didn't even look at him

gmj81

10/14/19 5:30am

You don’t show up the pitcher by hitting a walk off homer?

Baron

10/14/19 5:32am

Yes. Yankee players NEVER celebrate walk off game winning HRs..

Baseball the one sport where acting like an idiot is encouraged.

Based on today’s game, it would be incredibly stupid to put a runner on base
