Everything Great About a Match: Joshua Goodman v Randy Stanton (bgeast.com)

Everything Great About a Match: +8

Joshua Goodman v Randy Stanton (bgeast.com)

SPOILER ALERT: I highly recommend viewing this match in its entirety before reading this post.

So let's begin: 

+1: For the fan fantasy match.  It starts off as a wholesome outing with star-struck Randy being led to the wrestling mats by his idol and obsession, Mr.Joshua.  Randy looks like he cannot contain his excitement at being offered a chance against the man, the myth, the legend himself.  That's right, out of all the men on this planet, he picked you Randy - this is going to be an epic day for you.

Randy: *Gulp* This is hot, what you got in here?!

+1: Definitely worth a point to spotlight Mr.Joshua and Randy's chiseled, statuesque bodies. Mr.Joshua is a ripped, muscled mountain of perfection and while Randy's got muscles for days, standing next to Joshua is a exercise in futility - the guy puts everyone to shame.

Joshua: Hey. Six packs are for amateurs, this my friend is an 8 pack!

Randy: Hey I'm working on it...

+1: Joshua play wrestling with the fan. I love how Mr.Joshua gives his fans the full heel treatment by letting them think they have the upper hand only to crush them. In fact, Randy even rallies a come back or two.  I mean, we are talking about Mr.Joshua here, the guy is a wrestling god and to see him lure an unsuspecting rookie, later to crush his dreams and discipline him like a misbehaving child is worth a point. 

Mr.Joshua: Yeah feel that chest. You like that don't you?

Does Randy have the upper hand or is this a trap ready to spring into action?

Mr.Joshua: It hurts, it hurts. Randy: Now you know what I felt like. 

Mr.Joshua: Damaging my pecs?! I'm going to kick your ass for that. 

+1: Dirty talk.  Mr.Joshua knows he's the man.  He knows when a guy wants him and he knows that Randy is aching for this domination.  We all want Mr.Joshua but Randy gets some 'special' treatment here.  I can't recall him indulging his opponent with seductive talk as much as he does here. 

Mr.Joshua: I know you like that.  You like those balls in your face! Who's the man? Randy: ... You are...

Mr.Joshua: I bet that gets you going. Those big thighs.

Randy helplessly squirming under the domination. Mr.Joshua: I know you like that. You like that, it turns you on! 

Mr.Joshua: Look at you.  Look at that package in the mirror...

+1: Mr.Joshua forces him to worship the body that dominated him.  Randy is hurt and curled up in the fetal position only to be dragged back to his senses and forced to worship the man.  

Mr.Joshua: That's it.  Good.  Worship that body.

Randy is looking mighty small against the adonis Mr.Joshua!

+1: Some of us wait for a perfect sunset, others wait for that perfect moment during the match.  It's that moment when Mr.Joshua graces us with his sexy signature move - the "Adjustment".  

+1: Randy gets owned in all the best ways.  There's a moment, around submission #50 when Randy simply goes with it all.  This match is not going the way he wanted it to go and he clearly has no chance against the muscle adonis, Mr.Joshua.  So instead of fighting back, he is overcome with defeat and simply offers himself up to his dominator.  Mr.Joshua says pose for me and Randy eagerly complies.  

[+1] Bonus point for Randy's reaction to it all.  The guy is in unconscious ecstasy here and nearly begs to be put away by Mr.Joshua.  

Randy: *Muffled* Fuck... I submit.  

Mr.Joshua: Flex for me.  Show me your best pec. 

------- Everything Great About this Match: +8

So there you have it. This is an instant classic match with a brutal beat down. While Randy might be sore in the morning, all he'll remember is Mr.Joshua giving him the time of his life.  Randy follows Mr.Joshua on to the mat hoping to put through the ringer and our heel does not leave him hanging.  By the end, all those tips from Mr.Joshua about building muscle are thinly veiled distractions to pump up our jobber only to have his world crash around him like a huge set of biceps chocking him out.  

And with that I leave you with our final 'Adjustment' for the night.

Mr.Joshua: If only you were awake to see this...

What if for of one of the upcoming Monsterverse films (most likely not the confirmed 2027 next one), there will be a plot that will unexpectedly blow our minds away?!

Mothra had laid a mysterious, beautiful, radiant, and colorful egg. The egg is looks like a huge oval-sized precious gem with such lit, sparkling and rotating pastel rainbow colors (8 colors: red, pink, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue & purple) everywhere. The egg becomes very important that it is not only the Kaiju hero gang, but also Monarch must protect that egg from upcoming antagonists, both kaijus and humans, at all cost!

Monarch also suspects that there may be more to the symbolic relationship between Godzilla and Mothra, the King and Queen of the monsters than it seems...... Which could also lead to the result of why Mothra had laid this exotic egg....

Lots of good characters would return for this movie. Including surprising ones. Characters include Monarch members: Mark, Jackson, Rick, Sam, and the Chen Twins, Mark's now young adult Madison who'd be a new member of Monarch, a high school teenage Jia, and the Brodys from the first Monsterverse film Godzilla (2014): Ford, his wife Elle, his son Sam who'd be either in his late teens or early 20s, and even a young second child of Ford and Elle, like a daughter.

Then imagine at the end of the official trailer, there will be a scene of the egg HATCHING, and the next scenes are of the reactions of the kaijus and humans as they watch the egg HATCH! Then the title of this future Monsterverse film pops up on screen!

And this will be the name of the new-hatched hybrid kaiju:

Sayura

Name in the Japanese kanji:

桜由輝

桜: Cherry Blossoms

由: Reason, Cause, Origin

輝: Radiance

Deathlands (2003)

My rating: 4/10

This thing has "failed TV pilot" written all over it - which is not necessarily a bad thing, however, in this case I'm afraid the failure was very much deserved.

In 'A Christmas Carol,' Jefferson Mays is The Masterpiece

Jefferson Mays, the man of a hundred voices, gestures, postures and beings is an amazing host of 'A Christmas Carol.'

Jefferson Mays in A Christmas Carol (courtesy of A Christmas Carol Live) Someone once said, “It is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Increased with golden toilets, their own airplanes and wanting for nothing, the rich don’t need to believe in God nor be accountable to anyone. Indeed in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol…

Here is a Background Character Appreciation Post!!

We all wanted to see Penelope have suitors this season. Some were interesting, to say the least, but all of them must have some stories!! I wanted to share some of their names.

Lord Garret is played by: Jonathan Livingstone

Lord Barnell is played by: Martin Sarreal

Lord Leiber is played by: Joshua Akehurst

My personal favorites:

Lord Basilio: James Bradwell

Lord Remington: Zak Ford-Williams

Of course, the Lord Squad. These men were mostly for Colin.

Lord Fife: Bert Seymore

Lord Cho: Caleb Obediah

We do see these Stanton and Wilding snub Penelope and are well aware of Colin helping her in the marriage market. Part of me wonders if these men never went after Penelope because they could see that Colin was close to her.

Lord Stanton: Jorden Myrie

Lord Wilding: Joe Barnes

I hope you all enjoy these characters and if you want to make backstories for them go ahead! 💕

@colinfeatherington I hope this helps!! 💕

“When the deal is too good, think twice before embarking on it.” – Joshua Muasa

“Hello gentlemen, may I introduce myself?” asked the FBI agent, not waiting for an answer before proceeding. “I am Agent Neal and this is Agent Parvis. We will be handling the case so any and all information and communication goes through us,” he explained, his facial expressions stern though he waved a hand when he addressed his partner.

Agent Parvis cleared his throat then nodded to Jameson Stanton who was sitting to the right of him. “We also have your lawyer, Mr. Stanton, here on the call,” Parvis added before glancing back at the computer’s video camera.

On the other side of the call, almost 4,000 miles away, sat Warren Cold and Adriel Donovan. The pair were in an undisclosed location, one Ace had set up to ensure their location could not be traced, sitting on metal folding chairs. Warren held the phone so both Adriel and he could both be seen through the camera’s lens.

Warren remained silent, only nodding in acknowledgment that they could hear.

Agent Neal opened the manila file on the table all three men were seated at then looked back at the camera. “What I have here is a contract. Signing this, agreeing to this, would bind you all agreements listed. I won’t read all the legal jargon but your lawyer has combed through it meticulously. I’ll get to the gist of it…” he said, trailing off. “We can help each other. You two have landed yourself in quite the situation. We can help you get out of it and get back on U.S. soil as free men.”

Warren noticed Adriel sitting up straight in his seat. “What’s the catch?” asked Adriel, his tone neutral.

Agent Parvis raised his hands up in defense. “No catch but we do need something in return. I won’t sugarcoat this, boys. It’s not going to be easy, nor will it be safe. You could potentially get yourselves killed through this which the United States Government will not be held liable,” he explained.

Warren shook his head, glancing at Adriel who was listening intently.

“Long story short. There’s a criminal we want more than you two combined. Sources inform us that he’s located in Panama which we do not have jurisdiction in. You capture him, dead or alive, and we’ll handle the rest. If you fail, get killed, or anything other than completing this…then the deal is invalid, and we will be within our rights to continue to pursue you and capture you. If you’re interested, name your terms,” finished Agent Neal.

Warren held his finger up, asking for a short moment. He pressed the mute button on the call and placed the phone face down on the ground. “What are you thinking?” he asked Adriel whose face had paled.

Adriel didn’t look at Warren. He had his hands clasped behind his head, his head tilted up towards the ceiling. “I want to go home. I want to take Cataleya home. She deserves it,” was all he said, sighing heavily then glancing at Warren. “I know you want to get back and actually live.”

Warren chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “Alright then. I got your back and you got mine,” he told him before picking up the phone again and unmuting the call.

“Full immunity for Warren Cold and myself. My wife, Cataleya, also comes home with full immunity. If I fail or if I am killed…” Adriel started, swallowing hard though his facial expression was stern. “…she still gets to come home, full immunity. I want my criminal record and my brother’s, August Donovan’s, wiped clean. Not even as much as a parking ticket should be on it. Guarantee me that and I’ll sign.”

In the back, Jameson Stanton was writing down the amendments to the contract. He was writing on the document, highlighting and dating the note then looked at the agents who were speaking amongst themselves.

“You’ve got yourself a deal,” Agent Neal stated.

Warren hadn’t released he was holding his breath until he could visually see Adriel’s shoulders relax out of the corner of his eye. He nodded then glanced through the phone screen at the agents.

“So who are we after?” Warren asked.

There was a smirk that spread across Agent Parvis’ face. He turned the file so he could see the photo of their target. “This is Allan Esteban Hidalgo Jimenez, wanted for human trafficking. Wanted across seven countries, he’s been known target young girls. They range anywhere from ages 11 to 17. He grooms them for profit. Sexual services in nature and also, mules for transporting drugs, often selling to clients. Take him out and we’ll take care of bringing down the entire operation,” stated Agent Parvis.

Adriel immediately recognized the man but didn’t utter a word. He was sick to his stomach, the rage within him starting to fuel the fire.

Warren didn’t acknowledge any of the information being given until the last photo was shown of known associates. There, right before his eyes, was the picture of Julieta. His stomach immediately knotted up, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. “Of course,” he said, looking at Adriel. “It’s always the fucked up ones that seem to find me.”

The photo of the beautiful woman was Julieta Jimenez, the same girl he had been dancing with months ago at a bar called Tito’s, the night he went out with Adriel in an attempt to bury his grief.

“Fuck me,” was all Warren could say.

Movies I watched this Week #102

Re-watch: Lasse Hallström‘s sweet, early paean to lost childhood, My life as a dog. One of my three favorite nostalgic films from that period about coming of age and first loves (together with Nils Malmrose’s ‘Tree of knowledge’ and Truffaut’s ‘L'Argent de poche’). 9/10.

With the oh-so-Swedish recording of "Far, jag kan inte få upp min kokosnöt" played constantly on an old record player in the summerhouse.  

🍿            

Catherine Deneuve X 2 more:

🍿 My first by André Téchiné, My Favorite Season: 50-year-old Catherine Deneuve and her estranged brother Daniel Auteuil renew their tumultuous relationship when their mother’s health decline. Frankly, it was a meandering, meaningless and boring film. 2/10.

🍿 So once again, watching the absolutely wonderful The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Is Jacques Demy’s technicolor sung-through uber-romantic musical with the ethereal Catherine Deneuve one of my most favorite movies ever? Yes. “Is this the saddest happy ending in all of movies, or the happiest sad ending?“ Yes. "Why does it always rain when we say goodbye?"

The trailer is great too.

🍿  

“Why don’t you go to bed, honey. I’ll bag the Nazi and straighten up around here”...

Paul Bartel’s weird, politically-incorrect, black comedy Eating Raul. About a bald, asexual, middle-aged wine snob and his voluptuous nurse wife who kill swingers in their seedy Los Angeles apartment building. Bizarre John Waters esthetics, odd exploration of sex, murder and cannibalism during the excessive “Lifestyle” of 1982. First re-watch in 40 years.

🍿  

2 with Harry Dean Stanton and 2 with actor David Lynch:

🍿 Spielberg’s newest, autobiographical The Fabelmans, his personal ‘Cinema Paradiso’. Cloyingly disappointing. The segments of movie making and even more so the scenes of movie-watching were lovely, but everything else around them, the family dynamics, the dichotomy between art and domesticity, the mother’s longing for life fulfilled, the young Jew in a gentile world, was unremarkable. Lynch cameo as John Ford. 3/10.

🍿 “...Ungatz!!...”

Harry Dean Stanton’s 206th acting credit and his very last film, Lucky, which was also one of the few (two?) in which he leads. The directing debut of ‘Norm Gunderson’, aka John Carroll Lynch. A slow, quiet and magnificent tale of a 90-year-old man looking back (and 'not’ dying by the end credits!). Shot around the poverty-stricken, God-forsaken, unincorporated tiny hamlets in the high-desert I used to hang around 12 years ago: Phelan, Twenty Nine Palms, Pearblossom, Joshua tree. I could also see myself being that reflecting, lonely old man in a couple of years, shuffling around to the local dive bar and the corner mini-mart for milk, and then back home to the cave. (Photo Above).

A few excellent characters pop up in this sparse drama, besides David Lynch: Ron Livingston, Barry Shabaka Henley, Ed Begley Jr. and a powerful reunion with Alien’s Tom Skerritt. The unexpected climax slayed!

10/10 - Best film of the week!

Extra! Extra! Harry Dean sings Canción Mixteca from ‘Paris, Texas’.

🍿 On the other side of time, Harry Dean Stanton’s first no-credit role was in Hitchcock’s The wrong man. Repeating his central theme of ‘a man wrongly accused of a crime he didn’t commit’, this was untypical for Hitchcock, because he played it here (or at least the first half of it) in a subdued, sober and haunting style, nearly like a modern Kafkaesque documentary.

Toward the end, though, the focus shifts into ‘blaming’ the wife and turning it into a misogynistic tale of the poor, weak woman who can’t handle stress, suffers a mental breakdown, and hurry, we must commit her to ‘an institution’, for her own sake. Henry Fonda was perfectly-cast as the straight-arrow, honest Catholic Everyman.

🍿 

When I studied film at the University of Copenhagen in the late 70′s, I picked Michael Cacoyannis’ classic masterpiece Iphigenia as the topic of my final paper. Iphigenia is one of the original Greek tragedies by Euripides, and the film is still as magnificent as it was 45 years ago. With unforgettable score by Mikis Theodorakis. 10/10.

🍿   Alejandro Iñárritu’s new epic Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, his first film to be filmed fully in Mexico since 2000. A surreal, “Magic realist” exploration of a writer in a crisis of identity, a-la ‘8 1/2′. The first half had no clear vision I could see, but at the exact midpoint the story-telling turned the genuine wizardry fireworks on: When he had his talk with his father at the baño, and shrunk to a child size with a big head, in the long tracking shot walking the empty De Chirico streets, the piles of dead Spencer Tunick people, the tiny baby crawling back to the sea like a turtle... The visuals turned phantasmagoric, and the story opened up. 7/10.   

🍿  

Brendan Gleeson X 3, two by Martin McDonagh:

🍿 The Banshees of Inisherin, Martin McDonagh’s latest dark and unforgiving drama about the end of friendship in rural Ireland 1923. Was it a metaphor for the Irish Civil War? Or a metaphysical fairy tale about fairy women and myths?

🍿 "Oh Jesus. What a fuckin' day!" ...

Six shooter was McDonagh’s debut short, and it won him the 2006 Oscars for Live Action Short, Gleeson is a widower on a train who loses his faith in God. A train is passing through the beautiful Irish landscape, while inside death and mayhem ensue. 7/10.

I saw Martin McDonagh’s three earlier films once before (’In Bruges’, ‘Seven Psychopaths’, ‘Three billboards’), so I’ll mark to revisit them again in the future.

🍿 Re-litigating Dubya and the Neocons Iraqi wet-dream in Green Zone. Everybody forgot about this colossal clusterfuck, and moved on (except of the million dead Iraqis). So, it’s not a relevant film any more. A noisy, testosterone-laden, macho war film of the action type. I only watched it because Paul Greengrass’s Bourne trilogy is one of the only action movies I love. But his shaky-cam, quick-cut style that was effective in ‘Bourne’ is now so hectic and dizzy, choppy & headache-producing, that it’s impossible to handle.

🍿  

“It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it” X 4:          

🍿 I was Finally able to see Judd Apatow’s new 4-hour biography of George Carlin’s American Dream. Carlin was an American Saint and my legendary hero, but I didn’t know that much about his personal life, especially about his moving 30-years love and marriage to his wife Brenda. There was never a deeper philosopher who could analyze America better than Carlin’s cynical - and nihilist - insights. 9/10.

🍿 So I dug up the very first episode of Saturday Night Live from October 11, 1975, hosted by Carlin, with two separate musical guests, Billy Preston and the shy, young Janis Ian. There were some classic early SNL shows, but this one was long before they discovered the formula. 🍿 “...I do that all the time. It’s the third stage of syphilis!...:

His 1992 Jammin' in New York, possibly his best HBO special, and his favorite show. Classic encapsulation and delivery, packaged in thin, black-dressed rage machine.

“... There is nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine ... been here 4 1/2 billion years. We've been here, what, a 100,000 years, maybe 200,000. And we've only been engaged in heavy industry a little over 200 years. 200 years versus 4 1/2 billion. And we have the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat? The planet isn't going away. We are!...”

🍿 And one last, short screed, Dumb Americans, from his latest Angry Old Man‘s period and final show ‘Life Is Worth Losing’.

🍿  

Also, re-watching the complete Marital Ali Wong Odyssey, for the second time this year:

I guess you can call me a fan. What started as some sweet, light-headed Re-watching Divertimentos, in between weightier fair, ended up with a complete followup of everything I saw her in before: Her three Netflix standup specials Baby Cobra, Hard Knock Wife and Wong Don Wong were all explicitly-dirty, graphically-nasty, and absolutely hilarious. She was heavily pregnant during the first and second one, and all were non-stop, extreme filthy descriptions of her wild sexual life and imagination. 9/10.

She had married the son of successful wacky inventor Ken Hakuta (“Doctor Fad”), and used her husband, marriage and motherhood as a central theme of her edgy routine. So in hindsight, I am saddened to read on her updated Wikipedia bio, that they are now divorced.

Her performance is very physical, but here is the complete transcript of her last Wing Don Wong show.

🍿 I even re-watched the first film she wrote and directed, Always Be My Maybe, an Asian ‘When Sally Met Harry’, which was nearly as good.

Bonus: A 25-min. Fresh Air interview from the same year as ‘Baby Cobra’.

🍿  

The imposters, the 2nd farce directed by Stanley Tucci’s after ‘Big Night’. A 30′s style screwball comedy, in the vein of Laurel and Hardy, but without any of their wit and humor. Two out-of-work actors hide as stowaways on an ocean liner, in the vain of ‘A night at the opera’ but without a single funny scene resembling that. A large ensemble cast of otherwise fine character actors couldn’t salvage this. 1/10.

🍿  

6 Shorts:

🍿 The tailor, an old 6-minute comedy film by Gordon Grinberg. A black & white, nearly-silent telling of a famous Jewish Joke. (Via)

🍿 Re-watching Paperman, another 6-minute short, which won the 2012 Best Animated Short for Disney. A romantic meeting via paper airplanes in a 40′s setting.

🍿 A Short Introduction To The Disturbing Paintings of Hieronymus Bosch: Did he suffer from LSD-like hallucinations of St. Anthony’s fire? Was he simply insane?

How come Terry Gilliam never attempted to create a Bosch movie?

🍿 My 4th by British director Jonathan Glazer (before he branched out into features with ‘Sexy beast’ and others) How Jamiroquai Shot Their Iconic ‘Virtual Insanity’ Video.

🍿 The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in ‘Feliz Navidad’ 2022 - Extreme Late-Stage-Capitalistic, boring-distopian cross-merchandising from Disney++++

🍿 And.... I’m looking forward to see Greta Gerwig’s new Barbie!

And Timberlake did a great job. He is definitely all grown up now. A strong supporting cast of Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis sure didn’t hurt. I loved how the cast worked so good together. They were very believable. The movie did a great job of showing us just how crazy and out of control a simple misunderstanding can get. Hopeful Hollywood does force Ben Foster down our throat! Small doses please! NOTE: Alpha Dog has a lot of language in it. DoryDarko: Going into this film, I had no idea what it was about, only that it was based on a true story. And the more I think about this fact, the truth behind it all, the more it saddens me. The story that unfolded before my eyes...

Roberto Clemente Day and Another Series Win

NYY @ PIT

Game 1

Former Pittsburgh Pirates righty Gerrit Cole got the ball for the New York Yankees versus RHP Johan Oviedo and the Bucs on Roberto Clemente Day.

In the bottom of the first inning, CF Jack Suwinski hit a sacrifice fly off Cole to CF Estevan Florial, scoring 2B Ji Hwan Bae. The Pirates took a 1-0 lead against the Yankees.

In the top of the second inning, Cole’s personal catcher Ben Rortvedt hit an RBI single off Oviedo, scoring SS Anthony Volpe. The score was knotted at 1-1.

In the bottom of the second inning, LF Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single off Cole, scoring SS Liover Peguero. The Pirates now led 2-1.

Fast forward to the top of the sixth inning, 1B DJ LeMahieu hit an RBI single off reliever Thomas Hatch, scoring LF Oswaldo Cabrera. The score was tied 2-2.

A bit later in the same inning, RF Aaron Judge hit an RBI single off Hatch, scoring Rortvedt. The Yankees took the lead 3-2.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Bae hit an RBI single off reliever Anthony Misiewicz, scoring former Yankee and DH Miguel Andujar. The score was tied 3-3.

This RBI single was a line drive that deflected off of the left side of Misiewicz’s head, unfortunately.

He would be taken off of the field via cart with a member of the Yankees’ medical staff and would be checked in at a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Misiewicz was in good spirits as he left PNC Park with the line-drive baseball as a memento of the game. Fortunately, he was cleared to leave the hospital on the same night.

Unfortunately, Misiewicz experienced concussion symptoms the next day, causing the Yankees to place him on the seven-day concussion injured list (IL).

Refocusing on this first game of the series, reliever Zach McAllister took Misiewicz’s place on the mound.

Still, in the sixth inning, Ke’Bryan Hayes – the son of former Yankee Charlie Hayes – hit an RBI single off McAllister, scoring RF Joshua Palacios and Bae. The Pirates led 5-3.

In the top of the ninth inning, Florial got a bases-loaded walk via reliever Colin Holderman, scoring LeMahieu. The Yankees now trailed 5-4.

Later in that inning, Volpe grounded into a force-out to Peguero at SS who threw to Bae at 2B, getting out Florial. Judge and 2B Gleyber Torres on Bae’s throwing error to first base. The Yankees led 6-5.

Before the inning and game ended, Cabrera hit an RBI single, scoring Volpe. The Yankees led 7-5 and won by this score.

Game 2

RHP Luke Weaver – who was claimed off waivers on Tuesday – got the nod for the Yankees against RHP Luis L. Ortiz and the Pirates.

In the top of the first inning, rookie C Austin Wells hit an RBI double off Ortiz, scoring LeMahieu. The Yankees took the lead 1-0.

In the same inning, Florial hit an RBI single off Ortiz, scoring Torres and Wells. The Yankees extended their lead to 3-0.

In the bottom of the first inning, Reynolds hit a two-run homerun off Weaver, scoring Bae and Reynolds himself. The Pirates trailed 3-2.

In the top of the third inning, DH Giancarlo Stanton hit a solo homerun off Ortiz. The Yankees led 4-2 with that insurance run.

In the bottom of the third inning, C Endy Rodriguez hit a sacrifice fly off Weaver to Judge in RF. Hayes scored and the Pirates now trailed 4-3.

In the top of the sixth inning, reliever Hunter Stratton threw a wild pitch, causing Judge to score from third base. The Yankees extended their lead to 5-3.

In the top of the eighth inning, Cabrera hit a solo homerun off Hatch, adding an additional insurance run for the Yankees.

The Yankees led 6-3 and would win by this score.

Game 3

LHP Carlos Rodón would pitch for the Yankees against RHP/opener Colin Selby for the Pirates.

The scoring began in the bottom of the third inning when Peguero hit an RBI single off Rodón and 1B Jared Triolo crossing home plate. The Pirates took the lead 1-0.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Andujar – who was in RF in this game – hit a solo homerun off Rodón. The Pirates extended their lead to 2-0.

In the top of the sixth inning, LeMahieu hit an RBI double off reliever Andre Jackson, scoring Florial. The Yankees trailed 2-1.

In the top of the seventh inning, Volpe hit a solo homerun – his 21st of his rookie season – off Jackson. The score was tied 2-2.

In the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and Rodón still pitching, C Jason Delay hit an RBI double that deflected off the third base bag near 3B Oswald Peraza.

Peraza was ready to play the ball and throw it to first base before it hit third base. Either way, it was bad luck for the Yankees and the Pirates took a 3-2 lead.

This would end up being the final score in the Pirates’ win, which should have been a Yankees win and sweep of this series.

With the Yankees now losing five games this September into the October 1 stretch, they cannot afford to lose any more games. 

Otherwise, the Yankees would be mathematically and officially eliminated as postseason wild-card contenders in the American League. Wishful thinking, right?
