Royals 1, Yankees 0: Immovable v. Unstoppable

This is what happens when an immovable object meets and unstoppable force.
Our faith was rewarded by Good AJ today, who delivered one of his best performances: 8 innings of 1 run ball.
Bryan Bullington did AJ one better in search of his first major league win, after starting his career 0-7: only 3 baserunners in 8 innings of shut out ball, while getting a huge double play and a caught stealing on GGBG.
As usual, the Yankees were baffled by an unfamiliar pitcher. They finish the short road trip 3-3, splitting series with the Rangers and Royals.
Not much to say about this one. Tip your cap and get on the plane. There's a game tomorrow: the Tigers will be in the Bronx at 7.
Play of the Game: What an odd game. The top 9 plays were all defensive plays; the biggest being Pena's GIDP against AJ in the 2nd, which pulled the Royals' odds of winning back down by 8.9%. The tenth most impactful play was Billy Butler's RBI single in the first.
Comment of the Game: Three winners today; long time listener, pastor2B and pkyankeefan put together an all too true thread about making this game Joe-West-Approved. Sure enough, the game came in at 2:07. Unfortunately, the rest of their prediction didn't come to fruition.

Bullington did pitch well today, but our offense did him a huge favor by sleeping in
Hopefully they will get a few more hits and maybe a run or two against the Tigers tomorrow.
And on a completely unrelated note: Woot, my first CoG (er, joint-CoG)
whoa, I didn't see that!
I’m on the board! w00t is right!
good job guys

eh, the guy gets props for making good pitches
his defense gets props for those 9 good defensive plays
our offense gets “props” (from him) for bending over and taking it
no credit of any kind
Not only for the game, but they should take away his Mastercard.

Girardi needs to be honest with the media
do you think any of the Yankees were in the video room before this game?? Dude just pitched the game of his life. Keep an eye on the rest of his career and see if he ever comes close to a two hitter again.
If you're a real Yankee fan, please do the rest of us a favor and splurge the extra cash on a replica jersey without a last name on the back. Frankly, it's embarassing.

He WAS a No. 1 overall pick
so it’s not like he’s some lifetime minor league guy. Sure, it’s probably 50-50 as to credit and blame, but he’s not that bad.
We give him his big break in baseball!
But on a serious note, yeah.
any other team in the league
wouldn’t wait 8 years for results.

Yeah, my bad
I wasn’t looking at the right page. He’s been to the Indians and BJs and the Royals. Bah. Move on?
one more thing
seven career starts. Which means they probably couldn’t even have faced him in MLB 2K11 to prepare. And if he was in the game he would be one of those guys with no picture and a 99 on his jersey.

I don't really care most of the time
but in situations like this his only response is “i’m sick of talking about this” when asked about guys facing us for the first time. Someone is fucking up.
I’m still waiting for one of you stat lovers to find me the yanks record in the last five years against guys they’ve never faced which includes rookies making their debuts. It would make an interesting fanpost and I honestly couldn’t find shit searching the net. Consider that a challenge. I’ll leave this issue alone if i’m proved wrong.

I guess we could take a Game Log of the last 10 years
and see the first instance of pitchers appearing, and then check whether it was the first time . . . but it sounds like wayyy too much work. Would be interesting to see, though.
That Slowey decision's not looking too hot
the bullpen’s let in two runs already
wow
that game was bullshitington

Wasn't there a piece on Fangraphs about how we were on a record low pace of 1-run (or close) games
and how we were due to have some, just because? This series certainly looked like doing that.
Our last
four losses are all by one run, and with the exception of Saturday’s game every game we played this week was decided by one run. The Royals are a bad team, but they have talent, and don’t just roll over. At this moment the worst team in the AL, and maybe the majors, is Seattle.
you'd think that the offense could do him a favor when he pitches well.
I’m very curious now how Good AJ’s run support compares with Bad AJ’s run support.
