With the Blue Jays and Red Sox already winning today, the Yankees could fall five games out of first and tied with Boston for the Wild Card with a loss tonight….so I imagine that’s what will happen.
Thanks to Yennier Cano blowing up, the Blue Jays won.
Yeah, so fucking annoying.
Any way they can rain this out and make it up when Judge is back?
No.
Phils get Duran.
Twins deal their closer, Duran, to the Phillies. Mick Abel coming back. He should be good, and honestly, Jax could just as easily close for Minny.
Goldy sitting against a righty. Is Boone reading this site?
I like going up against Litell since one of my great childhood memories is Chris Chambliss taking Litell deep to win the 1976 ALCS. Pretty sure this guy isn’t the same one though.
Preeeeeeetty sure, but not positive.
Boone said Volpe is wired for this job. Maybe they should unhook hi,m.
I love the idea of the Yankees “discussing” Mason Miller with the Athletics. I’m sure it’s, “Uhm, could we have Mason Miller for shit?” “No.” “Oh, okay.”
The ex Yankee with an ERA one run better than the current Yankee.
Mets nearing deal for Hensley
Oh my god, Warren, every inning doesn’t have to be a fucking EXPERIENCE.
Those aren’t cowboy hats. They’re for hayrides or square dancing.You think Raylan Givens would wear that hat?
Escarra down, Peraza gets another life.
MacMahon is now a true Yankee infielder.
Jazz last 14 days 214/592, last 7 174/514 and now 13Ks in his last 26 PAs.
Rice and Jasson smoked it and got nothing. If Jasson hits it a foot to the left or right it’s a double.
LHBs hitting 860 vs Warren. Thats a big problem.
How bad is Wells? 3-33. Just struck out swinging on 3 pitches none of which were strikes. His OPS now under 700. Last September/Octoberseems to be the real Wells. The two phenoms with 2 atrocious ABs after the leadoff double. Last 14 days 074/346. What eo the Yankees do to ruin their promising young players?
Those at-bats were rooooooough following the leadoff double. Belli was very frustrating, too.
But there’s frustrating and then there’s not even having competitive at-bats.
Of course Lowe had to get healthy this series.
The odds of phenom getting hits with RISP on consecutive days none and negative. Yankes 0-5 RISP.
Yeah, it’s so pathetic. You got these other guys competing and Volpe and Wells are just giving outs away.
This team is so frustrating, they have so few good games. Yankees only have 3 hitters in the lineup with BAs 260 or higher. Sometimes you just need a single like that one.
10/200 if he hits a homer
Wow, two hits through five.
Boston just won 13-1, it was over by the 5th, the Yankees never seem to do that. We seldom get more than 5 or 6 hits two so far today against a right handed non ace.
Austin Wells with a .223 BABIP.
Come on, you stupid pieces of shit, at least score A fucking run!
I appreciate that Kevin Cash is not fucking around. He’s going to his best relievers in the sixth.
Their 4-5-6 hitters just went down in six fucking pitches. This is insanity.
They need a new hitting coach (and a manager.). They never hit smart.
They keep talking about the Jays. This team is more likely to miss the playoffs than win the division. Seriously how long has it been since they actually look good for more than 2 or 3 games. Fangraphs has us 88% to make the playoffs,I’ll take 8/9-1on that.
They even exceeded my expectations of sucking those two innings.

And that’s why PGold needs to play. phenom needs a crutch.
The Dodgers say Ohtani left the mound because of cramps, and he remained as DH.
Thank goodness Bryan Baker exists
Why can’t the rest of the Yankee hitters learn something from Bellinger’s 2-strike approach?
ETA – Like G did.
Trent Grisham is the only good Yankee.
Jazz with a lousy AB.
Dominguez somehow even worse with a 2-0 GIDP.
Thank goodness they didn’t pinch run for Stanton, as you know this game is likely going to extras with just a one-run lead.
Devin with a one run lead.
And Jasson beats it into the ground for a DP.
I just can’t watch this guy.
Twenty-five pitches yesterday and Boone just had to use him today.
Holy moly Volpe.
WTAF.
You gotta be shitting me
Well, that was suboptimal by Grisham.
Stupidest team managed by the biggest moron.
Devin is the worst piece of shit In history. Worse than bad Chapman.Worse than bad Holmes. Worse than Farnsy. Two walks and a hit today. A walk and a hit today, A 5 era.
And why are Boone teams consistently the stupidest in baseball? This year they’ve done that a few times.
Oh, it’s because Boone is a shitty manager. Wait. Did you not know that?
I just figured Cashman’s not a stupid man so he wouldn’t keep a bad manager.
Did Jasson make a decent catch??
Not really. I think he made it look better than it was by being bad.
An inevitable loss in 3… 2… 1…
Stanton swinging for the fences. Jazz couldn’t wait to make out.
All Stanton needed to do was make contact and he instead swung at pitches in the dirt on two straight pitches. Fucking insanity.
Jose Caballero at second, so THIS fucking sucks.
Forestalling the inevitable.
I like how Ryan McMahon plays defense (and yes, he DID have an error himself today, but still).
Wow, that was a dreadful AB by Stanton. Just, no, no, no.
It was staggeringly bad.
What an awful bunt attempt by McMahon.
Why is he even bunting?!
Kevin Kelly 6 era, 12 era recently
Yankees win. Booo! Surviving a shit show, multiple shit shows.
A very nice and unexpected win.
Dick move by DeLuca, right?
What did he do?
Just let it go over his head for a single. Yes, he almost assuredly wouldn’t have thrown Jazz out, but you gotta make the catch.
they’re not good, but over the past month they have fought a little harder than in previous years.
3-6 now in extras or something like that… but hopefully it’s a trend
Jack Curry is being dumb about the Dominguez catch. It was a 95% catch percentage, and he’s pooh-poohing that, which it obviously was.
are those catch percentage numbers available publicly yet?
anyway i was listening to the game and nothing makes me wince more than hearing “ground ball to short”
Baseball savant is public, yeah.
