Are the choices we make really made on our own free will or is it all
fate, predestined and set in stone no matter how hard we try to escape
it? In "The Adjustment Bureau", a rising politician, David Norris (Matt
Damon) bumps into a ballerina, Elise (Emily Blunt) in the strangest of
places under the strangest of circumstances and they are immediately
attracted to each other. Even though mysterious men (The Adjusters) are
dead set on keeping them apart, they keep bumping into each other by
chance. Finally, one of the stranger mysterious guys kidnap him and lay
it all in front of him. They are the course correctors of the world.
Whenever they hand over free will to humans from the heights of human
advancements, we inevitably decline into anarchy, the Dark Ages and
world wars. He realizes the gravity of the situation where his and
Elise's entire starlit future will no longer be a possibility if they
fall in love. In the face of overwhelming odds, either he must let her
go and accept his fate or risk everything to be with her and push their
career into an abyss.
People who haven't watched 'Fringe' are calling this movie imaginative and intriguing, while I'd say its derivative of a far greater work. The Adjustment Bureau in the movie is quite obviously fashioned along the lines of Fringe's "OBSERVERS". The differences being the notable not-balded heads, the use of 'portal doors' and The Adjusters being more or less angels. The Observers though, are obviously much more better written than The Adjusters who seem very non-threatening. Implying God as the Chairman was really funny to me. It made the movie less suspenseful than it should have been. Then there's a plot deviation in the middle when its revealed that David and Elise were meant to be together in all the previous plans, but the plan was changed suddenly. So, now they were meant to be with different people. This brings up the whole - Why the hell did the Chairman change the plan in the first place!! Thus, David and Elise, when you think about it, never had any free will to fall in love with each other since the remnants of the previous plans were subconsciously in their minds.
Most people are comparing this movie to Inception which is highly unfair since its not an all out intelligent action/sci-fi thriller. But, if this is the kind of stories 'Inception' helps bring about in Hollywood, then its a step in the right direction. Let me be clear, I really liked the movie, but the potential it had was never quite achieved. Why did the Adjustors want humans to have a better life? What was their interest in all this? It was never explained. They didn't delve into the philosophical or sci-fi aspects of the story. The first half was far superior to the latter half of the movie. Also it didn't help with the fact that the gorgeous Emily Blunt is just the arm candy for Matt Damon and is completely under utilized, barring a few scenes. Matt Damon is perfect in his portrayal as always. By far, the breakout character being the Adjuster, Harry (Anthony Mackie) who goes against the rules and helps David Norris in his quest. In retrospect, his was the only arc where the philosophical and moral conundrum in following God's plans was even remotely touched upon (same storyline is done better in 'Supernatural'). This movie is just another 'love triumphs over all hardships' with a sci-fi/supernatural twist. Could have been done better, but its enjoyable nonetheless.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
My next movie review is going to be on the film "The Adjustment
Bureau," starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Anthony Mackie. My very
first thoughts when I saw this movie coming out is that it looks
different. As a movie watcher you always want something different.
Something that no one has came up with. As viewers we crave that, and
that's what I believed I saw when I watched the previews for this
This movie is about a man(Matt Damon) that is just living his life and finds out that there is a higher power that regulates what goes on in everyone's life. He doesn't like there game and he wants to make his own rules. Through his journey he meets a woman and they challenge the higher power to try and stop some adjustments that they have(Matt Damon and woman) made. Who knows if they'll be able to live to tell this story...
I liked the movie. This movie was different. I was expecting a little more, but I'm satisfied with what I got. For some reason I was expecting some kind of twist or something. Yet and still, I feel like this was a very good movie. This movie does make you think though. This is a movie that conspiracy theorist will go crazy for. I'm almost positive there are many of them referring to this movie to prove some kind of point. For the average viewer I approve this movie and I also feel like it is DVD worthy. This is a movie that can go into your collection, without feeling like you have to just buy the movie because you are a big Matt Damon fan. I'm giving this movie a 8 out of 10.
Knowing this was adapted from a Philip K. Dick story, I knew that the premise of this movie was a little out there. Matt Damon plays a career politician who loses an election and accidentally encounters a pretty woman entering the men's room. She's played by Emily Blunt and we later find out she's a ballet dancer with ambitions of her own. Both seem smitten but there's these men in business suits and hats that are attempting to prevent this romance from blossoming. Why? Well, it seems there are some plans involved from up above...Quite entertaining what with the story, dialogue, acting, and an exciting chase though I did wonder if there really was a point to all the exposition that resulted. Still, it wasn't too bad and I'll maybe watch this again one day so on that note, The Adjustment Bureau is worth a look.
While the agents (angels?) are powerful enough to erase minds and alter
anyone's circumstances, they nonetheless *must* keep their magic hats
on. They also constantly consult what appears to be mildly-advanced
college notebook.
I can't imagine why Matt Damon agreed to this project. Was anyone involved in this production familiar with the adage, "Show, don't tell." There is on-going and seemingly never-ending exposition, which only succeeds in exposing the silliness of the plot. Further, there are the rules that Damon's character is not to break, but when he does so anyway, his punishments are about as harsh as those Hogan received from Colonel Klink.
Meanwhile, the love story is weak (just as the actors' chemistry). Unconvincing, they declare they've found "true love," when they've only spent a handful of brief moments together. Hey, at least their "meet cute" was especially accidental.
Overall, it's an overly long and fairly lame film. You just might want to skip this one.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Movie Review: "The Adjustment Bureau" A wannabe sci-fi film with a very interesting premise, only to turn into a lame love story!!!!! Matt Damon stars as David Norris, an up and coming politician. After failing to secure a seat in the NY Senate seat in his first attempt, David has a fate encounter with a mysterious ballerina in the restroom of the Waldorf Astoria. This incident triggers a set of pre-determined events which will enable the continued success of all mankind. To ensure that this master plan is followed, the "chairman" has dispatched "case workers" or some may call "angels" to nudge or direct key people in order to guarantee that these predestined happenings occur. When the master plan gets derailed or goes off-course, a special group of individuals (men in hats) called "The Adjustment Bureau" is called upon to correct the timeline. In the scenario of this film, it's a "second chance" meeting of Norris and the ballerina. The Master Plan has it preordained that these two individuals should never come in contact again. However, no matter how hard the "Adjustment Bureau" tries to redirect, hinder, or disrupt these two from coming in contact . An even larger force or entity seems determined to bring the two back together. AND THIS IS WHERE THIS MOVIE GOES TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET!!! Instead of this force or entity being some sort of "anti-chairman", bent on the destruction of mankind it's the power of LOVE that cannot be stopped . OMG, PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! So when the Norris character (Damon) is given the option of never seeing the ballerina again, or it could mean the end of civilization as we know it; he opts for being with the girl!!! And that my friends, is where the film spirals into mediocrity!!! What occurs next is a ridiculous chase through a series of "magical doors" in which only "men with hats" can manipulate; and if this sounds ludicrous, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS!!!! How a movie with so much potential, could turn into such a pile of drivel, I will never know . I cannot / will not recommend this film, and would avoid at all cost!!!
You could either cherish the good things the movie has to offer (light
sci-fi, enjoyable thrills, actors with chemistry and the romantic
theme) or you could bash it for its downfalls (not that deep, plot
holes, maybe even inconsistencies in the story). It's up to you. As you
can see, I rated it high. Why? Because I was entertained and that
weighed more for me than any of the weak points the movie had.
Still even President Obama had a stab at the movie (after he heard that Matt Damon was disappointed in his presidential efforts, Obama stated in one of his speeches, that he could say the same about Damon, mentioning the Adjustment Bureau). Still the source material is strong enough to justify at least one viewing :o)
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Adjustment Bureau, directed by George Nolfi, is an action packed
romance movie that captivates from beginning to end. David Norris (Matt
Damon) is a rising New York politician who has a chance meeting with a
professional dancer, Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) that completely changes
his life. The two fall madly in love and must deal with divine powers
trying to keep them apart in a battle between free will and fate. This
is a thought provoking film which challenges personal beliefs regarding
a higher power and creates an interesting plot. Although I believe in
free will, the possibility of "Adjusters" or "Angels" guiding our lives
and keeping us on a predetermined path is intriguing. It makes me
wonder what my life would look like if I chose another path or had an
"Adjuster" correcting my mistakes.
The chemistry between Matt Damon and Emily Blunt is intense and enhances the believability of David and Elise's emotions. The intimacy and impulsiveness of their first kiss leaves me feeling like they are meant to be together. Although this adds to the predictability of the ending, I appreciate David's determination to win Elise. Since I am a hopeless romantic, watching a man fight for the love of his life is very appealing.
The cinematography is very well done and the special effects create a visually exciting chase scene through Manhattan. The seamless transition as the characters move supernaturally through doors all over the city is mesmerizing. After living and working in Manhattan for many years, the backdrop evokes a feeling of nostalgia and makes me a little biased towards movies set in New York City. The music of Thomas Newman, one of my favorite film score composers, is engaging and compliments the feeling of romance between David and Elise, as well stimulates the action scenes throughout the film.
The Adjustment Bureau is entertaining and emotionally gratifying with a love conquers all theme. I look forward to watching again.
The Adjustment Bureau. Dir. George Nolfi. Perf. Matt Damon and Emily Blunt: 2011, Film.
Can we plan our destiny, or is our destiny predetermined by forces outside our will? This is the main point of this science-fiction thriller, where the romance between David and Elise captured me so much as to make my attention concentrate more on the extremely attractive couple Damon-Blunt than on that central issue. Their chemistry works out effectively, never seen such a lovable Damon before, with such a charming smile, Emily Blunt proves mysterious and attractive as usual, so when they lips first meet, something explosive is ignited. The central issue is of course not original, but interesting in the intriguing and breathtaking way it is represented, without moving too far to any conclusion. Certainly free will is eagerly supported, certainly the movie sides with the need to dare and not to be afraid to follow what you think important for your life, against all more or less reasonable obstacles, even against your destiny, mainly when the love of your life is involved. The story proceeds with a quick, intriguing pace, the science-fiction and the romance, the supernatural and the realistic blend perfectly, on the stage of a wonderful and an ever-enchanting New York, keeping the viewer always captivated and entertained, and making the movie really enjoyable from the beginning till the end.
Sorry but Matt is not a good choice for being a Romeo who gives up politics for his love of his life.. I don't buy it, and all the romantic scenes flaws very badly, no electric between the boy and the girl, and no any romance.. So since they do not suggest a deep love, I do not buy the rest, either. In my opinion, for example Richard Gere would suit this movie much better.. he is a better actor in terms of showing his feelings. He might make this one a deeper movie. Don't think that I don't like Matt, he is a better actor for action adventure movies. I love his spy movies, but come on, this movie, the story is built up on a deep lovers who can not reach out, and if you cant show it, then the movie collapses.
Summary: The premise is the worst I ever heard of, the plot is lame,
and the film ended really poorly. You didn't get sucked into the world
of the film, the special effects and action are not cool. There was bad
acting. At this point there is nothing worth seeing about the film
besides Damon acting well and a typical love story, but this was
supposed to be a thriller. This movie would be a waste of drugs if you
thought they could aid in making it watchable. This movie isn't
romantic enough to make your girl swoon at any point. You will never
say "That was awesome", you may laugh at the stupidity of the film or
simply say "I don't care about this $#*+"
Here's why this film will disappoint you for watching it:
Ending: Cop-out and includes an infuriatingly cheesy life philosophy. This ending alone would ruin even a good film.
Big Bad Guy: Will not scare you. Doesn't do much.
Special Effects: Doors open to different places than they should. This is the big special effect in the movie, it is not noteworthy and not a reason this film is worth seeing. Other special effects are not interesting and few and far between.
Poor acting: If you weren't a main character, you got typical confident bad guy lines. These lines were delivered very flat and made the characters forgettable.
Bad guy's kryptonite: Dumb enough to embarrass you for watching. I won't spoil the film, but there are two and both of them should have been left out because they never mattered. They seemed to be added as an afterthought or got bungled in production and are some artifact of a more thought out plot device.
Plot Hole: Hard not to make this a spoiler....they were larger holes than are usually acceptable, not even being picky here 1.) Something all knowing didn't know something very obvious 2.) If you invited me to your house and I decided to light all the furniture on fire, would your response be "When you're done using that lighter, could you help me put out these fires?"

Lakers and Obama make military care packages
WASHINGTON -- Although the ceremony lacked the pomp and circumstance of the January visit to the White House, Kobe Bryant called the meeting Monday with President Barack Obama "perfect."
Bryant enjoyed building care packages for wounded servicemen with his teammates, the President and local kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington.
The packages included handwritten letters from the kids and Lakers and items such as phone cards, snacks and razors.
After that and some private time mingling with the President, the Lakers headed to a stage in the club's gymnasium to be formally honored by Obama for winning the 2010 NBA championship.
When Obama noted that Phil Jackson's five Lakers titles remain one shy of Jackson's six with Obama's hometown Chicago Bulls, a voice from behind the President said: "Not for long."
Obama credited Bryant with the retort, although it was actually fellow team captain Derek Fisher.
New Lakers Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Theo Ratliff, Devin Ebanks and Derrick Caracter sat in the front row of the audience while last season's team was honored on stage. But Obama did go into the audience to shake hands with the new players also.

GE Aviation and Barco's Defence & Aerospace division have signed an MOU for collaboration in the development of a new family of open system cockpit display products, targeted at display and avionic system applications for helicopters.
"This collaboration builds upon our experience with Barco in this sector and our successful delivery of cockpit display systems for the UK Wildcat, Merlin and International AW159 helicopter display systems," said Alan Caslavka, president of Avionics & Digital Systems for GE Aviation. "We will be able to provide customers with the most advanced flight deck with embedded applications while driving efficiency and reducing through life cost."
Barco will bring world leading cockpit display design and manufacturing capability to be combined with GE Aviation expertise in thermal management, graphics processing, application development and computing in order to create a low profile, passively cooled cockpit display system. This solution will deliver primary display system functionality and be capable of hosting third-party applications within an open system environment.
This collaboration combines the companies' respective investments in new technology with their experience in delivering integrated cockpit display systems, open architecture ARINC 653 computing platforms, and expertise in the design and production of high quality cockpit displays for a new generation of flexible display and computing products.
It is anticipated that the products will be integrated with an open suite of development and integration tools enabling aircraft prime contractors and application providers to collaborate in customising functionality and optimising aircraft performance. The solutions are intended to host existing applications from the two companies and be compatible with industry standard ARINC 653 and Barco's MOSArt application interfaces.
"Barco is delighted to be working with GE Aviation on this innovation and to continue their fruitful co-operation in this area," said Dave Scott, SVP Barco NV, General Manager Defence & Aerospace Division.

Prosper and Bo have run away to Venice, escaping a vicious aunt who wants to adopt only Bo. Now, they have joined up with Scipio the Thief Lord, a wily kid of their own age with a mystery identity and a band of loyal street kids, including Hornet, Riccio and Mosca. Though Prosper doesn't like stealing, he has no choice; he has to look out for his little brother, and somehow keep out of sight.
Their aunt, however, has hired a private detective (who is preoccupied with turtles) who is trailing the boys through Venice. A nasty merchant named Barbarossa has offered the Thief Lord a massive job on behalf of a mystery client. And the detective starts to home in on the two boys, as the true identity of the Thief Lord comes to light...
"Thief Lord" isn't particularly groundbreaking, but it has a slightly classic feel to it. The settings in Venice, the names of the characters (Prospero, Scipio) and the dramatic details like Scipio's costume. But Funke balances it out with funnier things like Barbarossa's ride on the carousel and Victor's preoccupation with his pets. The magical element of the carousel (shades of Ray Bradbury?) seems a bit out of place, however, as there hadn't been any magic up until then.
The writing is quite detailed and descriptive, and Funke doesn't skimp on the descriptions of how gorgeous Venice is. What's more, the translation is, as far as I can tell (which isn't far since I don't speak German), pretty flawless. If I didn't know better I would think that it was originally written in English.Read more ›
After their parents die, Prosper and Bo run away from their aunt and uncle (who, of course, want to adopt only the younger, cuter Bo, and send Prosper off to boarding school), making their way all the way to the city of Venice, Italy, which they had heard much of in the stories told by their late mother. There, they are taken into a gang of street kids who are under the guidance of the mysterious Scipio, also known as the Thief Lord. Prosper and Bo feel safe until they realize that their aunt and uncle have not only tracked them to Venice, but have also hired a private detective to track them down with the aim of recovering Bo. From there the adventure takes off, as the children dodge the detective while at the same time work to secure a mysterious object for an equally mysterious "Conte."
Underlying Fuke's work is a tale about being a child and growing up, and whether or not one is truly more desireable than the other. As said earlier, THE THIEF LORD is a book that could be read aloud to the whole family, or enjoyed by individual readers on their own. Either way, recommended reading level is around 10-years-old.
The Thief Lord is a mystifying tale of five orphans and runaways on a quest for freedom and independence in Venice, Italy. They are led by a thirteen year old boy who calls himself the Thief Lord.However, the Thief Lord has amazing secrets of his own that are accidentally revealed to the other children because of a few interesting characters. Despite the essential involvement of these characters however, this is mainly Prosper's story. Prosper seeks to survive successfully with his little brother Bo in Venice, away from Aunt Esther, who looks to have the boys returned to her rightful ownership. The plot only thickens when The Merry-Go-Round of the Merciful Sisters is introduced to the already good story. Written in third person and past tense I always felt that I knew what was going on. Cornelia Funke provides rich descriptions that make you feel what she is saying. I liked this book because what was going to happen next was never predictable. She springs upon you numerous amount of shock and surprise throughout this magical tale.

Game refusing to launch, with unique symptoms I haven't seen anywhere else
Yankee4Life replied to VelocityLP's topic in SupportThat's not really fair now. All this guy was told was that it would have been better to have added his question to the Windows 10 support thread that was here already. KC did come up with the answer for him and I am sure that it will work for this guy but I am kind of curious as to why you are thanking DaSteelerz? Exactly what did he do except lead a cheer for KC? KC did a great job coming in here to straighten this out for that guy and I hope this person comes back in here to report that everything is working for him now. Ok, now after I said that don't you think I deserve a thank you too ?

Game refusing to launch, with unique symptoms I haven't seen anywhere else
Yankee4Life replied to VelocityLP's topic in SupportWhile you assume that this guy read through the already existing Windows thread here I have to assume that he did not. In fact I doubt if he even bothered to spend five seconds searching for any support thread that he thought could have helped him. I have NO PROBLEM believing this to be true at all even if this guy comes back and says oh yeah, I searched. Bull**** But I do agree with you that starting a new thread was not going to give him his support that he wanted. He just made this thread so his question would be seen by everyone and not get lost in an existing thread. That's what happened here. I call it laziness because that's what this is.

Alex Rodriguez, Ivan Nova help bring Yankees back to .500 with 2-1 win over Orioles Alex Rodriguez sat in the batter's box for several seconds, staring out at Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman after getting knocked down by a high-and-tight fastball in the sixth inning. The purpose of that pitch typically was open for interpretation, but it at least had to feel good to know that A-Rod finally might have done something again warranting such treatment. Rodriguez homered for the first time in exactly one month to help propel the sell-or-don't-sell Yanks back to the .500 mark again with their second straight victory, 2-1 over the East-leading Orioles on Monday night at the Stadium. "Finally. It was a long time," Rodriguez said after homering for the first time since June 18 in Minnesota. "It was more surprise. I haven't hit a ball like that in a long time. It certainly felt good." Alex Rodriguez launches a mammoth home run which proves to be the difference in Monday's win over the Orioles. For the second consecutive game, the Yanks also received six strong innings from their starting pitcher and the requisite shutdown efforts from the high-powered trio at the back of their bullpen. Ivan Nova (7-5) allowed just one run on four hits before All-Star setup men Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller and closer Aroldis Chapman – who had the crowd and his teammates buzzing by reaching 105 mph on the radar gun in the ninth, the fastest pitch in MLB this season — completed one scoreless inning apiece to even the Bombers' record at 46-46 with 70 games to play. The Yanks had used the same formula — Masahiro Tanaka's quality start and another nine outs from the same trio of relievers – to respond to Joe Girardi's public plea to avoid a weekend sweep by Boston with a 3 - 1 victory one night earlier. "Every game is so important right now, we definitely want to keep all the guys around and keep this team together," Rodriguez said. "We feel like the best baseball is ahead of us, so we have to continue to play well." Carlos Beltran (3-for-4) had declared Sunday's game "a must-win" and cautioned afterward that "this home stand is important overall for us, and I think it will dictate what the future holds for a lot of guys here" ahead of the Aug. 1 non-waivers trade deadline. "We did talk about, you have to block out the noise, and you just have to go out and play, basically," Girardi said. "What we're in control of is wins and losses and how we perform. They're aware of (the trade deadline). But I don't want it to be their focus." Rodriguez entered batting .198 against righthanders this season, prompting Girardi to limit his playing time against them earlier this month. He took early batting practice Monday with hitting coach Alan Cockrell, continuing drills aimed at correcting mechanical flaws in his swing that he termed "a humongous struggle for me all year." A-Rod staked Nova to a 1-0 lead by crushing Gausman's 2-0 fastball into the left-field bleachers for his ninth homer this season and the 696th of his career. Ivan Nova gives the Yankees six solid innings, allowing just one run. The blast also marked Rodriguez's third in his first 12 career at-bats against Gausman, who later whizzed a 98-mph fastball up and in to send the Yanks' DH sprawling to the dirt before striking him out in the sixth. "I don't know," Rodriguez responded when asked if he believed it was a purpose pitch. "Boy, I'll tell you – 99 coming right at your head is not a good feeling. But we're on to tomorrow." Like Nathan Eovaldi, who will rejoin the rotation Tuesday following three scoreless appearances in the bullpen, Nova entered Monday's start with an ERA above 5.00 for the season (now 4.92). The righty permitted little more than a leadoff blast by Jonathan Schoop in the third, the MLB-leading 142nd homer of the year for Buck Showalter's first-place Orioles (53-38). "It took Nova about three innings really to find his command, and then he was really good after that," Girardi said. Andrew Miller and the rest of the Yankees bullpen does its job to help bring the team back to .500. The Yanks had retaken a one-run lead in the previous inning on singles by Brett Gardner and Beltran and a sacrifice fly by Brian McCann for a 2-1 game. "We need to win. Win tomorrow. That's kind of the mindset," McCann said. "We just need to come in and try to win the day. Try to keep going. It's reality. It's where we're at. There's a little over two months of baseball left. We've got to start winning."

Any new cyberfaces for MLB2K12?
Yankee4Life replied to tomk30816's topic in MLB 2K12Well my friend over on the Mvp side we have a new portrait for Red Sox prospect Yoan Moncada. He's the SOB who had a good game at the right time when all the attention was on the Futures Game. Because of that Boston is already saying he's a future Triple Crown winner. All because of one game.

Yankee4Life replied to Gordo's topic in Mod AnnouncementsThank you Gordo.
Yankees hold on for 11-7 win over Indians to enter All-Star break at .500 Jacoby Ellsbury broke the game open with a three-run home run in the second inning. CLEVELAND – For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, it looked like the Yankees would have a stress-free path back to .500. But as we all know, nothing has been easy for these Yankees. A double-digit fifth-inning lead turned into a bit of a nail-biter for the Bombers, but Nathan Eovaldi ultimately settled things down to nail down an 11-7 win over the Indians. After losing two of three in both San Diego and Chicago to start the road trip, the Yankees finished it 5-5, slugging their way back to the .500 mark. By taking three of four from the first-place Tribe at Progressive Field this weekend, the Yankees head into the All-Star break with a 44-44 record, only the 17th time in 88 games this season they've been .500 or better. Their high-water mark remains two games over back on April 12 when they were 4-2. "I think you could probably say in one word," Joe Girardi said when asked to assess the first half. "Inconsistent." Masahiro Tanaka appeared to be well on his way to a solid start on regular rest Sunday, allowing one run over the first four innings. But he fell apart with a 10-run lead in the fifth, allowing six runs in the inning – two of them unearned thanks to Didi Gregorius' throwing error – before being pulled with two out. Eovaldi, banished to the bullpen last week, had been slated to be the Yankees' closer Sunday with the "big three" unavailable. Girardi had to go to him much earlier than expected and the righthander responded with 4.1 scoreless innings to earn the win. Rob Refsnyder slides safely into the third base in the fifth inning Sunday. "It feels good coming in that situation the way I did and being able to finish the game," Eovaldi said. "I was getting quick outs with my fastball." An error by Carlos Santana led to the Yankees' first run in the second, then Jacoby Ellsbury thought he had drawn a walk to load the bases. But home plate umpire Ramon De Jesus called the 3-1 pitch a strike to Ellsbury's dismay, so he took out his frustrations on the next pitch, crushing Carrasco's changeup over the wall in right-center, the three-run blast giving the Yankees a 4-0 lead. "He was able to concentrate, focus and was able to get a good pitch to hit and hit it out of the ballpark," Carlos Beltran said. "It was a big home run for us." Tanaka gave back a run in the bottom of the second, but he got Santana to ground out to first with the bases loaded to leave the bags juiced. The Yankees added a run in the fourth as Chase Headley led off with a double, later scoring on a fielder's choice. Carrasco didn't make it through the inning, charged with five runs (only one earned thanks to Santana's second-inning error) over 3.2 innings. The six-run fifth appeared to put Cleveland away as manager Terry Francona needed to use four relievers just to get through the inning. Francisco Lindor's errant throw to second base with the bases loaded allowed two runs to score, while the Yankees had six hits, two sac flies, a hit batter and a walk during the lopsided frame. Masahiro Tanaka unraveled in the fifth inning despite having a 10-run lead. "We felt like we put good at-bats against those guys," Beltran said. "There's no doubt that Cleveland has a great pitching staff and we were able to score runs against them." Tanaka came out for the fifth with a 10-run lead. Somehow, he failed to make it through the inning. Four of the first five Indians batters had hits to start the fifth, though the Yankees still held an 11-3 lead. With two out and runners at second and third, Gregorius committed a throwing error to first, extending the inning and allowing two more runs to score. With the lead whittling away at 11-5, Tanaka served up a two-run home run by Tyler Naquin, pulling Cleveland within four runs and sending the starter to the bench after 4.2 innings. He was charged with seven runs (three earned) on 10 hits and two walks, striking out five. "I tried to go out there and just shut it down," Tanaka said through his translator. "Obviously I wasn't able to do that." Eovaldi got the final out to stop the bleeding, then allowed a hit and three walks over 4.1 scoreless innings to send the Yankees into the break on a high note, one Girardi believes was their best series win of the season. "It's a positive thing; we beat a very good team three out of four games," Girardi said. "To end up 5-5 on the road trip where it starts off pretty poorly is good. Hopefully we can carry this momentum over to after the break."

Yankee4Life replied to GoRedSox34's topic in DynastiesUnderstandable. It's summer time and you have to take advantage and appreciate the good weather.
Joe Girardi's 11th-inning substitution makes difference in Yankees' 7-6 win over Indians Didi Gregorius celebrates his two-run home run with Carlos Beltran in the third inning. CLEVELAND — A seemingly innocuous pinch-running move turned out to be a stroke of genius for Joe Girardi. The manager's decision to pinch-run Ronald Torreyes for Carlos Beltran with two out in the 11th inning paid off immediately as Brian McCann laced a double to right field, scoring Torreyes from first base to lift the Yankees to a 7-6 win over the Indians Saturday afternoon. The two-out single was Beltran's third hit of the day, but with the game tied in the 11th and his spot unlikely to come up again, the All-Star was removed for Torreyes, who is not only faster than Beltran, but isn't battling a sore right hamstring. With the lead in hand and his other two stud relievers already in and out of the game, Girardi left Aroldis Chapman in for the bottom of the 11th — he entered the game with two out in the ninth — to finish off the victory. The win leaves the 43-44 Yankees with a chance to head into the All-Star break at .500, as Masahiro Tanaka will square off against Carlos Carrasco in the series finale Sunday afternoon. CC Sabathia gave away an early two-run lead, but he was in line for the victory when he turned a 6-5 lead over to Dellin Betances with two out in the sixth before the All-Star reliever allowed the tying run to score in the seventh. Prior to the game, Girardi spoke of the importance of taking the final two games of the series to enter the All-Star break at the .500 mark. "I think it would be a big plus, especially if you could take three out of four from this club that's been playing very well," Girardi said. "You'd feel better about going into the break and making a run." Facing an All-Star starting pitcher for the second consecutive day, the Yankees had better luck with Danny Salazar than they did against Corey Kluber Friday night. Carlos Santana's RBI infield single in the first inning gave the Indians a quick lead against Sabathia, who was 4-2 with a 3.12 ERA lifetime against his former club. Salazar, who entered the day leading the American League with a 2.36 ERA, allowed two hits in the first inning before working out of the jam. He stranded another runner in scoring position in the second, but the Yankees were putting pressure on the hard-throwing righty. The Yankees broke through in the third as Brett Gardner's leadoff double set up a game-tying single by Beltran. Two batters later, Gregorius drilled an 0-2, 96 mph fastball into the right-field seats as the Yankees took a 3-1 lead on his 11th home run of the season. Sabathia was unable to make the lead stand up, issuing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the third before four straight Indians rapped hits, slapping a three-spot of their own on the board to regain their one-run edge. CC Sabathia was charged with five earned runs over 5.2 innings Saturday. Given a second lead, Salazar appeared primed not to let this one get away. He retired the Yankees in order in the fourth and worked around a leadoff walk and his own throwing error in the fifth, stranding the tying run at second base. The Tribe added a run in the fifth on Jose Ramirez's infield hit, stretching the lead to 5-3. Salazar got two quick outs to start the sixth, but Chase Headley singled to center and Rob Refsnyder hit an infield single off the pitcher's glove. Girardi sent Alex Rodriguez to hit for Aaron Hicks, his first at-bat since Tuesday. A-Rod drew a seven-pitch walk to load the bases, driving Salazar from the game in the process. Gardner then delivered a clutch hit, lining a bases-clearing triple into the left-field corner to give the Yankees a 6-5 lead. Sabathia got the first two outs in the sixth, but Girardi didn't give his starter a chance to get out of the inning, starting his bullpen carousel by bringing in Betances for the final out of the inning. Sabathia was charged with five runs on seven hits and two walks in the no-decision, finishing his first half with a 3.77 ERA. Betances struck out Rajai Davis to end the sixth, but he found himself in a jam of his own in the seventh after putting runners at the corners with one out. Betances struck out Santana for the second out, but Jose Ramirez hit an 0-2 pitch to right field for a single, scoring Jason Kipnis to square the game at 6-6. Gregorius made a diving play up the middle and backhand throw on Juan Uribe's two-out grounder, preventing the go-ahead run from scoring. Beltran nearly gave the Yankees the lead again in the ninth, drilling a ball off the top of the right-field wall. But instead of a go-ahead homer off closer Cody Allen, it was a leadoff single. McCann grounded into a double play four pitches later, ending any hope for a ninth-inning rally. Andrew Miller, who had danced around a leadoff double in a scoreless eighth, put the first two men on in the ninth. He came back to get the next two Indians out before Chapman struck out Juan Uribe to move the game to extras.
