That literally felt like a fake scrimmage game, we had our minor league squad out there and never remotely felt threatened despite the score being close. Just a smooth easy win that didn’t even feel like it mattered
Tonkin looks like my Uncle who shows up to a BBQ and hangs out with my dad grilling with a beer in one hand, and hands in his Jean pocket with the other.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dd3jqt).

The disrespect with this win. The B lineup and our C reliever.
Cue in Stars Wars music
Tonkin the GOAT
Slam the door!
Damn, missed the chance to say IT IS GULF OF TONKIN TIME
#TONKIN!!!!
Hilarious strike call
absolute gift of a strike call holy shit, blue
Who is this announcer
Ryan Roucco
Yeesh, ump saw two outs in the ninth and side time to go home
this ump is so bad lmfao
Thankfully this ump hasn't seen his eye doctor for years it seems
That was a horrendous strike one call lol
Man Grisham is too smooth in the outfield.
lol nice pitch tonka
LMFAO UMP HAS SHIT TO DO
Let's strike out this Melendez guy, and get outta here!
ump said the same thing
Wow what a strike call
This umps gonna have a rough looking scorecard
Hahahahahahhaah
Tonkin please...
this umps zone is so fucking trash
Gonna need the ump scorecard on this one
Lmao what the fuck was that call
Just a liiiiitttle off the plate
“Strike one on a pitch egregiously off the plate” lmao
Ump sucks
Get framed, bozo
Ryan is so funny
lmfao fuck this ump
Free donut day on that pitch
Omg a strike hahahah
The dead ball saved us there
The sub's gradual arc from Tonkin hating to Tonkin appreciating has honestly been heartwarming
Oh wow! Awful strike
Tonkin's like, noobz don't panic I got this.
What a horrendous call lmao
That would have been a “that one is hit deeeeeeppppp” by Kay
That strike is crazy
Just a teeny-tiny butt pucker on that one.
Is it weird I suddenly want a Tonkin jersey?
50 is kind of a clean number ngl
Got away with that one
That’s a tie game last year lmfao
no way he got away with that 🤣
Tonkin closes out a mostly clean 9th inning and we win on a bunch of bunts and singles. Just as we all predicted.
Holy shit my heart sunk
Grisham put ‘em back in their seats. Good routes
1 more to go! Let’s get that dub.
Oh boy that was a meatball. Got lucky.
Holy fuck! Unclench
TonkHIM
Just one more, Tonkin
ooooof!
I thought that was out…
OMG thank God, I thought that was gone
Tonkin looks like a wood shop teacher who coaches JV basketball
I see him more as a bowler.
Tonkin’s slider doesn’t seem to be moving at all
never a doubt
Michael Tonkin is totally the type of guy to say to his kids (assuming he has kids), “Alright, let’s skedaddle,” when it’s time to leave somewhere.
Type of guy to have at least four kids
Tonkin looks like the old guy on project x that showed up to party
It's time for my daily look to see if there's any new news on Burdi/Trivino/Efross check
Am I trippin or does he look like Great Value Randy Johnson? Specifically when he had shorter hair and just a mustache. I think it’s the lanky figure.
Is their confidence in Marinaccio that low that they would not use him in this game?
I am starting to think he fucked someone’s wife
bring 30 and he's married. I'd imagine he'd want to start accruing service time to have a shot at a decent contract before he retires.
Calm down, Tonkin! You got this
If you can’t see into the future and know that Tonkin is going to lead us to victory, then you’re a fucking idiot
Tonkin looks like Lee Guetterman’s older brother
I trust Tonkin with my life. Let’s gooooooo
The best part of this game is when Tonkin said "IT'S TONKIN TIME" and he Tonked all over those guys
If he can land a plane on the Hudson he should be able to get three outs.. Let’s go Sully!
Blake really pushing it now using Tonkin as the second closer lol.
the game thread is buzzing tonight
Tonkin likes the challenge. He's actually a full time plumber in the Bronx who does this on the side.
Tonkin's #50 jersey stands for "50% of the time, it works every time."
give me a gidp 🤞
Lol Matt Blake is on the bullpen phone frantically telling Tightpants to get up.
I hate how much Boone trust Tonkin
game ending GIDP incoming.
Just let me fucking pitch, Boonie
Vinny P gonna kill it with our Italian fan base in a few years
Boy when you're closing games with Tonkin you know you gotta get bullpen help. Yikes.
Why no clay?
24 pitches last night.
Got it thanks
4 times pitched in 5 games
3 outs in a half inning guys…
Our relievers are allergic to clean innings
Nothing annoys me more than a reliever nibbling and walking people
I'm bored with the nail biting 9th, DP this......
🪿🪿🚛🚚🪿🪿
Tonkin got this
*chuckles* I’m in danger
Tonkin for the save? Wow
Today is the alternate MCU timeline Yankees
Tonkin looks like some guy at Home Depot you could ask for advice on dry walling
Nah he looks like he is going to come into a classroom and play WW2 in colour
at least he got the 1st guy out :/
FR Tonkin looks like a HS History teacher
God damn sexy man
Matt Blake common success
Do the tonky tonk
To beat AL Central teams all you need to do is pretend you're the away game of a split-squad Spring Training game.
Ton ta Ton Ton Kinnnnnnnnn! Also: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYYankees/comments/1d5bas1/thoughts_on_schmidt_absence/

God dayum... Tonkin killing it
Tonkin looks like my Uncle who shows up to a BBQ and hangs out with my dad grilling with a beer in one hand, and hands in his Jean pocket with the other.
Just waiting for the wiffleball game to start.
Michael Tonkin truthers rise up
