This game is notable because, although they’ll certainly lose, they need to see if Cam Schlittler’s arm can hold up. Hopefully it can!
This lineup is so crazy. Jazz CANNOT be Judge’s protection! No one is going to stop walking Judge if Jazz is behind him! Also, batting behind Jorbit fucking Vivas has better be pretty goddamm humbling for Volpe!
Aww, ma, do we have to?
Second and third no out. Which team is set up?
Scherzer 1. Yankees 0.
That what I call giving Judge protection.
Probably won’t score again.
Magic 8 ball says that is correct
Jazzy! While Judge is K’ing like its 2017.
Better get that slider working Cam. I could see him as an 8th inning guy.
7-8-9 is terrible.
They’d probably hit the Yankees pitching, though.
Schlittler going the Phil Hughes route, more pitches and more pitches. Walking Will Wagner? Ugh.
You throw 99 and Wells calls a 3-2 slider to the #9:hitter
Just awful pitching in 1 2/3 innings by Schlittler. At 47 pitches already and doom awaits.
Doom delayed.
Judge with a tiny mini slump
Bellinger should be playing every day
It’s fucking madness that Dominguez or Grisham get starts over him
Bellinger sits tomorrow.
Doom looms.
It’s been fun. It’s been real. But it won’t be real fun soon.
That was very, very nice. I was positive he was going to walk the bases loaded.
Doom delayed again.
Before this game Barger was hitting 500/1524 vs the Yankees.
Supposed to beat up on this guy, not go down meekly.
Can the pen go 4 innings without allowing 2 runs?
Volpe needs to be sat down.
Volpe error, bullpen meltdown, too many of these.
Look at the way phenom catches it like he’s clutching it to his body. Tied for theMLB lead in errors at any position.
Rice should make the scoop but it’s on phenom. At least he’s tearing it up at the plate.
Volpe and the bullpen, an all too common blow up this season.
Their crap left handed reliever shuts us down. Our good left handed reliever not so much.
They just don’t adjust.
Lo with the 5+ error show why. He’s more washed up than Effross.
How often does a guy who made a big error come up third in the next inning? Honestly, Volpe is a mess.
Loss incoming. Score three in the first and one since.
This guy with his 9+ era over the last 15 games 6 up and 6 down. Hill our 3rd best reliever gives up a big hit. Lo gives up a big hit. Phenom is a 2 way POS.
Hey Boone you moron it’s not 2021, Lo had a 5.11 era and a 6.21 FIP going into this game.
Everybody seems to feel Lo is done except Cashman.
And Boone.
He has to use the guys Cashman gives him. Although maybe not there.
The bullpen is just bad
Two man pen. Six man lineup.
This game shouldn’t even be close. Schittler gave up 7 hits and 3 walks in 5. Then phenom, Hill and Lo took over,
Nine up, an IBB, nine down.
There’s like a 5% chance the Yankees win.

Nice.
Five hits, 2 walks, Jays 10 hits, 4 walks.
Stanton’s our only chance to score.
Other than Rice.
A Rice treat.
Full pack time.
Does Peraza ever take a pitch?
Xtras or loss?
They won. Wow.
Got it done but a little too much sweat.
Bellinger can never sit. Just rotate him through LF/CF/1B and sit other guys accordingly.
The cameraman can fuck right off on that Barger flyout, by the way.
I’m shocked how bad Volpe is. I’m shocked how bad their 3b are. But mostly I’m shocked they won this game.
Spencer Jones is really a rather large presence in this offseason. If you think he is a legit player, then do you just spend the money on Bregman? You could sign Bregman AND re-sign Bellinger for not much more than it would cost to sign Kyle Tucker, and go with…
Dominguez LF
Bregman 3B
Judge RF
Bellinger CF/1B/LF
Stanton DH
Chisholm 2B
Jones CF
Wells C
Volpe SS
With Rice playing 1B, DH, and C. And Bellinger playing outfield if Jones busts.
Bregman will go back to Boston. BTW Devers is playing 1b for SF now.
Lo had an era of 10 in his last 7 appearances. Why didn’t Boone go to Hamilton?
It was such a weird decision. Let Lo prove himself before you just treat him like he’s classic Lo. The trade deadline needs to come soon, as no one will deal relievers until then.
Raleigh hit #39.
He’s starting to cool off, despite hitting some HRs. The last 28 days he’s hitting .165 with a .756 OPS and in the last 14 days he’s hitting .154 with a .645 OPS. His OPS in July is .739 compared with 1.000+ in May and June.
Judge has been on a bit of a slide as well, hitting .206 over his last 14 games.
Yeah, but since Judge has been tailing off, as well, Raleigh is bizarrely gaining in the narrative on the MVP race. Judge really needs to pick up the home run pace, as if Raleigh out-homers him, I think Raleigh gets MVP. He SHOULDN’T, but I think he will.
