I mean, what is even the point of this game? Just take the L and save some wear and tear on Schmidt’s arm. The Rays are up bit, it’s about to be a .5 game lead.
The Yankees really do specialize in the 0-2 walk, huh?
These at-bats, it’s fascinating, it’s clearly not a skill question. It’s really just mental strength.
Schmidt often just is not mentally strong enough.
A 7 pitch walk and a 9 pitch walk are not command issues, it’s just mental weakness.
27 pitches in the first is all good, right?
I’m glad that Dominguez decided to take the same strike that Jazz took for the strikeout.
Good job of minimizing a home run, a walk, and a hit.
Maybe Martian needs to be the odd man out.
I don’t mind Grisham and Martian rotating. Belli just needs to be an everyday player.
I am okay not batting Volpe ninth with Peraza here, but once LeMahieu is back, Volpe has to move to #9.
The kings of the solo shots.
Arithmetic 1 3 run home run=3 solo shots
Solo shots? Sure. Singles with runners in scoring position? Of course not!
Only singles if there aren’t players in scoring position. That’s the rule.
A phenom blast
Pesky pole for phenom
JC gets the Giambi Pepitone number
Once they gave him run support, Schmidt was suddenly an entirely different pitcher.
The fucked up thing is that in a 9-0 game, you don’t want to use your best relievers, and yet…
Wow, he might seriously go to JT Brubaker for his YANKEE DEBUT in the eighth inning of a no-hitter!
Yep, welcome to the Yankees, Brubaker, if you give up a single hit, you’re a bum!
Poor Brubaker. Tough situation to be in.
What are the odds? Judge 0-3, 2 K’s, Yankees scoring 9 runs? Susan, you can’t predict baseball.
We knew the odds were that once Brubaker came in, he was GOING to give up a hit. So the odds worked THERE, at least!
Sanchez should have struck out, and instead, he broke up the no-hitter. Boo!
I prefer football with leather helmets and pitchers staying in until they give up a hit.
Who knew
Katie S Clarke Schmidt Last 3 Games:
20.2 IP, 6 H, 0 R
Schmidt is the 1st pitcher in Yankees history to have a 3-game span with:
✅20.2+ IP
✅6 H or fewer
✅0 R
Reyes to mutts
Tomorrow’s game 11:30am on the ROKU Channel
The Boys of Shea have 5-runs, all on solo HRs, including two by Soto.
I’m thinking that Schmidt is pretty good.
Forget all these combo stats – let’s keep it simple. who was the last Yankee starter to go this many scoreless innings in a row?
Per YC above, Schmidt is the first
Cole threw 23 scoreless innings back in 2023.
Rays beat Detroit again. Jays win. Devers with a 2 run home run and SF beats the townies 3-2.
In an alternate universe where TB’s baseball people ran the Yankees…..?
Not against Skubal, but it’s still VERY impressive to beat Detroit twice BADLY.
Clarke Schmidt perfectionist.
