These Orioles hitters are good enough that I don’t think Cookie can get away with his typical “put a bunch of guys on base, but get enough soft contact to limit damage” routine.
But hey, hopefully he can!
Starting Dominguez against a lefty, when he’s useless against lefties, and sitting Bellinger when he’s finally on a sort of hot streak is definitely something that that dumb BaBoone would try, huh?
Jazz will get an MRI in New York tomorrow to see if he’ll need to go on the IL or not.
Is Boone really this stupid? Or does he have some kind of plan no sane human being can understand?
Where have you been the past seven seasons? 😎
Feels like the Yanks shoulda saved some of those runs from yesterday for today
The Martian plays against a LHP but sits against a RHP. But Boone plays Belli who doesn’t have a split yesterday but not today.
Cade “Shirley” Povich
No more singles
Judge.
Aaron Judge, best player in MLB history, or best player in all the multiverses?
He can hit more than singles! Good to know.
The sound off the bat on that one was an explosion.
Moar runz pleze. Two is not enough.
No way no how. Volpe did a nice job turning 3-0 into an out.
Also, Cookie, just don’t walk the leadoff batter, please.
Cookie, buddy, come the fuck on. 3-2 to the first batter already?
EDITED TO ADD: I seriously prefer the single.
A leadoff single.
But, really, Cookie, GET AHEAD IN THE COUNT and then STAY ahead, it’s the only way you’re going to be able to do anything with these hitters.
Cookie is ancient, and he KNOWS the only way he can get outs is by throwing strikes early, so he starts Adley 2-0. Grrr.
You can “waste” pitches up 0-2, Cookie, but they have to LOOK like strikes, not WAY out of the zone.
Wow, what a fucking pitch for the K! That was an OUTSTANDING slider.
Another great slider to get the K, but not before wasting, like, HALF of his pitches in that inning.
Cut that shit out, Cookie. Who do the Yankees have to back Cookie up if he can only go four? I guess Hill for two?
Only 23 pitches.
Pretty good wood by Martian on that out.
Martian hit it decent
Cookie making Mountcastle healthy
Fell behind both guys, and now it’s 2-2. Blech.
Again, though, we all know Cookie will not be GOOD, the hope is that he at least just keeps you in the game.
Huh, weird, 2-0 pitch led to a home run. So weird.
You’re an old man, you can only possibly get by by throwing strikes early, Cookie!
Oh well, I still prefer Cookie to Stroman.
You’re in luck then
I was happy to hear that Stroman isn’t even CLOSE to ramping UP.
In a couple of weeks, Cash has to at least THINK about giving one of the dudes in the minors a shot.
No surprise, the guy is toast.
Walking Grisham to get to Judge is certainly a choice.
Throwing a wild pitch just so that you can walk Judge, though? That’s genius.
Rice against lefties is no bueno.
Rice OPSing .622 against lefities coming into this game. Why the fuck isn’t Bellinger starting this fucking game? It’s just such a fucking self own (unless Belli is hurt, I guess).
Odds are it is 4:1 a Boonerism.
Rice and Jasson both bad vs. LHP, so naturally Boone has both in the same line-up.
It’s so, so dumb.
Damn, Peraza JUST missed that shit.
Goldy did NOT miss that shit.
Finally a home run for Goldy!
Oh, by the way, pitchers in general, how about not falling behind hitters and then grooving a pitch to them when you’re behind 3-1?
When you see a pure power swing like Goldy, it makes you wonder how in the world that dude doesn’t hit more home runs.
I’ll give Povich this much, no one thought he’d throw a pitch that far out of the strike zone with three balls and Judge on deck. Ballsy move for the K.
It kills me that even a shitty lefty can own this lineup.
This motherfucker is batting .422!
FFS, Judge. Getting picked off is not the idea.
Like Cookie, Tim Hill only WORKS because he throws strikes. Tim Hill walking the first two batters of an inning is just madness.
Oh well, I guess this game is fucked. This series sure has sucked.
It sucks to have to use their good relievers in a loss. I agree with the usage of Cruz here, it just sucks. Tim Hill abruptly had his worst inning as a Yankee like a weirdo.
Boone has never learned a thing in his now 8-years of managing. Both Rice and Jasson in the same game against a LHP is so sad. That their MiL system can’t provide a decent RH bat is on Cashman and his clown show development program.
Late in the game, there’s no real chance of coming back because the other team is going to use a lefty.
Is there a reason Pablo Reyes is on this team, instead of, say, Jorbit Vivas?
You presumably don’t want Vivas to sit on the bench like Reyes.
I would love it if Reyes sat on the bench like Reyes.
OTOH Binder
You simply can’t leave your bat on your shoulder there, Martian.
The Yankees saw how bad Jasson was v. LHP, and chose to do nothing about it. That is what Judge’s hitting coach said last year, they are clueless.
Is there a reason they can’t develop a decent RHB? Oh, their MiL system is bad. Thanks, Cashman.
cruz looks awesome
Cano?
Soto?
Is Baltimore’s bullpen full of Yankees-turned-Mets position players?
Who is next, Granderson? Cerone? Berra?
Silly.
The answer is Ruth.
I legit don’t get it. Is Belli hurt? Why didn’t he pinch hit for Rice when they brought in Soto?
Oof! Rice just missed that.
great throw. baseball is awesome.
Belli could’ve just taken ball 2 and 3
Bellinger has been quite disappointing.
The Yankees are bad and they should feel ashamed of themselves
Boone playing both Martian and RIce when the Yankees suck against even shitty lefties, while the Orioles have a good back of the pen, is just BEYOND moronic.
Top 10 all time Boonerism.
Going into tonight’s game Yankees were hitting 143 vs Bautista
That’s why it is so mind-boggling that they didn’t hit the Orioles in their weak spot, their shitty starting pitching. Sugano is a legit good pitcher, but he’s the only good starter they have. Povich wasn’t even good, he was JUST good enough.
Boone we’re gonna be really good.
Good thing I missed this game. The good news is we outscored Baltimore by 10 runs this series. Also judge. Best month by a Yankee ever?
Mantle, April 1956: .415/.500/.805, 4 HR (49 PA)
Mantle, May 1956: .414/.507/.879, 16 HR (140 PA)
He finished the year at .353/.464/.705 with 52 HR in 650 PA (in the 154 game season).
Bosox lost, so there’s that.
Yeah, that was the one good piece of news. And it was Whitlock who blew the game late.
Lasagna struck out the side allowing 1 hit in his 2nd rehab appearance at Tampa.
Gary Phillips
Aaron Boone said the HOPE is that DJ LeMahieu (hip) will resume his rehab assignment Friday after he received a cortisone shot. #Yankees
