Some of these lineups just feel like they’re drawing names out of a hat.
Spencer Jones with 4 walks this afternoon. There the Aaron Judge comparison stops.
Colorado 20 townies 7
Ramirez crushed LHPs in AA, 1179. I wonder if he might be an option in September.
Agustin Ramirez (@swbrailriders) grounds into a double play with the bases loaded.
He’s ready.

Are we trailing already?
Kind of… not!
Not yet, that is.
Maybe Gleyber can remember he’s a talented hitter.
He remembered he’d like something better than a split contract for the Pirates next year
I think he wants to remain a Yankee more than possibly anyone else.
If the Yankees bring back Gleyber it will be proof they don’t know what they’re doing…wait hahahaha
I think that was a set play… by the Mets. Throw the ball away, let the runner get in scoring position, then you know the inning’s over.
It was a set play because they know Volpe is far less dangerous with RISP 2 out 184.
Not pretty but the ball had a mind of its own.
DJGB dammit
He hit that pretty, pretty hard. Over under on Yankees run total 2 1/2
Yankees lead the world in home runs surrendered to the 9 hitter passing the former leader South Sudan.
Fairly deep indeed.
That’s the key to the Yankees’ offense: have no one on base.
This game hurts my feelings
If the Yankees win 1/3 of their games post ASB do they make the playoffs?
No.
Skip the psychobabble
DFA LeMahieu already. Cashman, the sabotear.
You just NEVER expect a Yankee to get a hit with RISP. NEVER! It’s uncanny. And while his previous AB DJ hit it hard, that weak ass ground ball was far more typical.
Other teams seem to have bottom of the lineup guys that contribute. Not the Yankees.
Cole coming up big for the Yankees who at 2-4 post ASB are every bit as bad as they were in the previous month.
Good job, Cole slaw.
Most HR’s to the opposition #9 hitter must be part of Blake’s magic.
Yankee alchemy turning a middle of the road starter into an ace. Deduct 2 from a starter’s era to get the YERA.
Mets hit Judge, fuck them.
How many times has phenom come up with RISP or men on bas this series? That was a DJ like AB. Is he mentoring phenom.
Why did it have to be a fucking groundball to end the threat? it’s just so, so pathetic.
Wells has really been showing something, at least. Him at the #6 hole behind Martian and Stanton will be very nice.
1/12 last two days RISP. Hey ESPN announcer anyone pitching to the Yankees is the right card. ALWAYS.
phenom wants to play in the All Star Game. Fat fucking chance.
RAB echoing Judge’s getting coach “ The answer is they are very bad at developing hitters, so much so that they can’t even grow their bench guys and have no depth.” Amen.

Gleyber 2B R
Rice 1B L
Volpe SS R
That’d be a fucking squad.
By then it’ll be too late.
DJ reacts too slow to the ground ball.
Volpe v. bad Ottavino with the bases loaded, grounds out. Who is the hitting coach? George would have fired him weeks ago.
The Iglesias tongue bath is nauseating.
The Subway Series is but a subplot to how much the Yankees suck.
I am so getting over Volpe. His offense is atrocious, and he cost the Yankees the sweep in Baltimore with a bad defensive play.
good grief
Gleyber leadoff home run, two on strike out. Volpe hits wo RISP. DJ too.
1/13 RISP last 2 days.
If Cashman can replace all of the crappy players with good ones this team could really be something.
just like last year, they need to buy AND sell at the deadline. make deals to make the team better long term. if someone wants a rental or whatever also give them up. they seem to have less surplus talent than ever but i don’t think they should buy and leverage the future. the team is a disaster. at least make it drastically different. we’ve seen enough from cut cut cut sell and maybe it’s addition by subtraction.
how could cashman survive these bad contracts and young players not panning out?
pee tapes. has to be.
The players may love Boone but for a few years now it sure seems like there’s been an awful lot of choke on this team. The hitters don’t hit in the clutch. Holmes has 6 blown saves. And the one time they get a big hit, the defense, plus Holmes, chokes away the win. Maybe they’d play better for a manager who they didn’t love so much.
remember when Gary bloomed once he got away from Girardi!
yeah, me either.
The Yankees most emblematic of this team are TRF ERA now 5.74, JD Davis, DJ, Vertigo and Gleyber. Volpe’s in the photo.
i’ve wanted cabrera gone for awhile. nice error, chump. can’t wait to watch you pound another one into the dirt. there are at least 30 of these guys in the minors, can’t we give another one a shot? why are he and dj getting so many at bats?
this whole thing is so embarrassing.
bring up rumfield. fire boone. fire cash. wtf
Rumfield is just a Rice duplicate at 1B. Vivas has tailed off and Peraza is another Yankee who used to be a prospect before the Yankee development team got a hold of him. Other prospects like Jones, Arias and Lombard seem to be stagnating in the expert hands of the Yankees development team.
Judges’ hitting coach nailed it. Hal, over to you. Hal? Hal!!!!!!
peraza at 274 366 403 in july…. maybe he makes a difference when rosters expand.
hardly a difference maker but he wouldn’t have thrown five feet off home from the pitchers mound
The Yankees will be lucky to win one at Fenway this weekend. Their pitching isn’t great, but they hit, and sub from each of their starters and were totally outclassed.
And Philly after.
If they drop 6 it’s not too late to get a haul for Soto.
mets 9 over 100ops
yanks 4 including rice and stanton
Damning Cash stat.
If they play 500 the rest of the way they’ll win 89 games and possibly make the playoffs.
big if
What if they win 1/3 of the remaining games?
hal will hire a consulting company to figure out how to squeeze more from the concessions stands.
So the Yankees have limited hitting prospects in the minors so they drafted all pitchers. Huh?
dj with a .500 ops
with the season on the line you have to say figure it out in aaa or we are cutting you.
a team guy would do it.
maybe it’s a health thing and next year is better but how can you keep running him out there.
same with rizzo. rake in aaa or take a hike.
they get paid either way so whatever.
Na gonna happen
a 500 ops!
if they want fans to believe they are serious about winning they need to prove it because both the players and fans seem unconvinced.
these guys dont have to work another day in their lives, i don’t think it’s too much to ask.
DJ has been awful for 4 seasons now, his best OPS 2021-2024 was 2022’s 734. He’s done.
The best thing about tonight’s game, they will have to DFA Caleb,or will they? How has he lasted this long?
Blake’s Magic, a 1970’s TV show. Pitching coaches are basically fungible. To believe this guy has some secret sauce formula is silly, but apparently the Yankees along with our own Brian believe it.
I don’t mind keeping him as the last man in the bullpen until they call up Effross, but yes, he’s got to go. He’s here on rep, but that’s stupid. And Boone trusts him too much.
“The Yankees are not done.” They’re not?
Boone “Nobody’s got higher expectations than us.”
Is Hal laughing yet?
The Yankees are signing their draftees. As always, some required extra money to sign while others required less. You can find a full list in many places. I don’t need to rehash it. New talent is coming to try to break their 18-year World Series drought in 2027.

Jack Neely AAA and AA 2.29 era (1.08 Scranton), 1.12 WHIP, 61Ks/39.1ip. But he’s not a 30 year old reject.
Boone is a regular Knute Rockne.
Katie Sharp by the numbers-MAGICAL!
Yankees have now allowed 55 HR (in 28 games) since June 20. (Now 56)
That’s currently 12 more than any other team in that span.
TWELVE!!
Yankees have allowed 181 runs since June 15.
The only team that’s allowed more in that span is Rockies (205).
Yankees now have 15 HR allowed to No. 9 hitters this season. That’s the most in MLB
Blake’s Magic©.
That’s be a hell of a line-up, Brian, except that it’ll take the Martian to get India.
Or maybe, with the “Yankee tax,” Judge.
Also, I could see India proactively writing to the Yankee:
Hi, guys. Just letting you know that I pride myself on being a great teammate and creating no trouble for anyone. But there’s one thing: I’m not cutting my hair. It’s a part of who I am, my personality – or in terms you may understand better, my brand. As a team that prides itself upon representing American values like freedom, you’ll be the first to understand that. Especially in an age where even the corporate drone world, whose aesthetic seems to be yours, is going casual, allowing even their employees this kind of basic freedom. So if you trade for me, I’d either ask you to make an exception, or trade me so as not to end up with nothing, because I won’t be cutting my hair. Other than that, I’d love to play for the Yankees, and you can expect me to put everything I have into that.
With admiration
Jonathan India
This is unbearable.
Stupid team + great players I could take.
Brilliant team + things go wrong with the roster I could take.
But this? I need to check out for a week or two and hope they actually do something.
Your are about 3 weeks behind me.
They will never win a WS with Boone as the manager; and probably not with Cashman as GM.
Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. In which case the entire Yankee org and their fans are insane.
