Jose Caballero, starting rightfielder, is certainly quite a look.
What a shit show. Judge better be returning this weekend, or else it doesn’t make sense for them NOT to have an actual rightfielder on this team if Stanton can’t play right.
Marlins and Braves taunting us.
2nd and 3rd, no outs, Aaron Judge up. Let’s see how they fuck THIS shit up.
Advantage St Louis
You prooooobably should just walk Judge, right? Set up a double play by Belli.
When Judge is whiffing on a hanging slider…
Should have just walked Judge, and tried to get that ground ball from Belli. You’d have two outs, and a runner on third.
Is he better than phenom?
Why are you expanding the zone after you were already up 2-0, Belli?
I mean, whatever, the key to 2nd and 3rd no outs is that you gotta at LEAST score a run, and they did that, at least. It’s SOMEthing.
Okay, Jazz, that was better than SOMEthing.
Makes Belli look bad when everyone else smoked the ball (besides the walk).
Cincinnati plays some wacky ass games.
I just can’t get over these weak-minded dudes who KNOW what they have to do, and just can’t do it.
The other team hits you? Then the other team hits you. Shit like that you can’t control TOO much. But what you CAN control is not throwing four straight balls when up 0-2 in the count. Just pathetic shit.
It says Twins on the top of the page, and Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Groundhog Day? But it has the Cardinals logo too.
I’d prefer they keep playing the Twins. 😉
Heh. Thanks for fixing it.
You know what would be nice? If Judge started hitting again, that would be nice.
Where the fuck did THAT pitch by Pallante come from?! That 0-1 pitch was so insane that Grisham called time out right after, as I think even he was, like, “What the fuck was THAT?”
He’s trying to evoke Volpe.
Jesus Christ, Judge, a first pitch groundout with the bases juiced?! Who are you, Austin Wells?
He’s tanking his season.
Shoulda used Stanton to pinch hit there. Try to break the game open.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Raleigh’s numbers aren’t even that amazing, but the dude just keeps fucking hitting home runs. He has 46 fucking home runs!
Marlins blew their lead, only a matter of time before Atlanta blows theirs.
How in the world do you walk JAZZ CHISHOLM, of all players, on four pitches? One, he’ll swing at almost anything if it looks even CLOSE to a strike, and two, you KNOW he’ll be running if he gets on.
I know he SHOULD be running, but I wish I were more certain that he actually will be.
Okay, now I am!
They should do that more often.
Need another wild pitch.
What I mean is: if he HAD stolen both 2nd and then 3rd, that would have been 10 percent of his base stealing for the entire season thus far.
This dude better not be swinging 3-0.
Hilariously, he was, but hey, it worked out.
Still a bad idea.
How do players not learn to slide? Is it because of the head first? Did Maury Wills or Rickey do that?
I hate that they can look at the instant replay to decide if they want to challenge. This shit should be bang bang, and only called by the fielder at the base or the runner at the base.
Gil getting away with a lot of hard contact and only 1 K thru 3.
Raleigh hit #46.
Okay, NO way Stanton makes that play.
This game is right there for the losing.
Leadoff 2B, followed by 3 Ks. The Yankees way!
Thanks, Miami. Tied in the bottom of the ninth, and their reliever walks THE FIRST TWO RED SOX BATTERS!
Ah well, hopefully the Braves, at least, pull it out.
Oh, good job, Miami, to bring the good reliever after the other guy loaded the bases with no outs!
You can’t walk the fucking leadoff hitter, Gil.
Yankees letting St Louis hang around because they can’t stand success. No killer instinct or they just plain suck?
That’ll do Luis.
Spencer 0-5 with 4 Ks after being over 400/1200 he’s now 294/998. Tulips.
After being lights out Wednesday behind 4-1, who will blow the game Doval, Devin or Leiter? Or will it be Weaver or Bednar?
Fucking Rangers and Mets.
I’d have let Gil try to get out of it, but I get the argument.
However, if you’re GOING to go to the bullpen, shouldn’t it have been your best guy, like Weaver, to get out of the mini-jam? A hit means a run, so they should be using the guy who is most likely NOT to give up a hit, which is Weaver. Then Leiter can pitch the NEXT inning, with presumably a three-run lead and when a hit WON’T mean a run.
Just let them hang around. The Yankee way. The St Louis pen is bad? Doesn’t matter, the Yankee hitters will be worse.
How does Leiter look like he’s not even fucking PREPARED?!
Jays get 4 in the 8th and hang on to win.
Eagerly awaiting more Judge fail.
Yep, another awful Judge AB.
First two hitters reach on walks against a pitcher with a 9.64 era, after a strike out by your 2 hitter a wild throw puts men on second and third, Judge and Cody pop out. Just let them hang around. 3-14 RISP
Judge is trashing his season.
But Doval was so good in a low leverage situation Wednesday
You don’t HAVE to let this guy give the game away, Boonie, you CAN remove him.
I said this the other day- Yankees pitchers are hitting a lot of batters especially in 2 strike counts. I have a feeling that any team that makes Doval throw strikes will kill him.
Judge had several shots at doing serious damage in this game, he failed.
Quite telling that they chose to pitch to Judge with first base open.
This is an unserious team, an unserious organization.
This guy stinks. He’s better than Jake Bird, that’s about it.
It pisses me off SO fucking much that he obviously had Weaver ready, but wouldn’t use him when it would have meant SO MUCH MORE.
Doval 5.2ip 6 hits and 7 walks. Total POS. Cash sure can pick them.
“I could use Weaver in a situation where he could even afford to give up a hit, or I could just fuck shit up.”
The Yankees stink.
That wild pitch wouldn’t have meant a run if he just brought Weaver in when he should have.
NO runs would have scored had Boone just brought Weaver in when he should have. He’s just the shittiest, shittiest manager.
I think I’m more pissed at Cashman picking Bird who is ass even in AAA and this choke artist. Doval looks terrified out there.
Bird is a long term play, not a this season play. I agree that Doval looks terrified out there, which is why you use him in lower leverage innings, then pull him when he looks like he’s in trouble.
Doval clearly still has very good stuff. He’s just a nutjob. He’s still an improvement over Ian Hamilton.
He’s not a long term play if they used him twice to lose games.
I agree, that was an idiotic use of him. I wanted them to only use him in very low leverage situations while letting Blake work with him, and instead, they threw him out there as soon as he arrived. And then used him in a tie game in the tenth. Just madness.
How bad is the Yankee offense? That last inning against a horrible pitcher goes in the Bizarro Yankeeography.
Yeah, that was awwwwwwwwful.
That they pitched to Judge with first base open is quite telling.
TWICE. Ugh.
Wow, I guess Goldy actually is healthy.
They wasted little time in the top of the 8th.
Imagine if Weaver had given up that single last inning. Fucking stupid, stupid Boone.
So embarrassing.
I know the top of the lineup has been bad, but I’d still bunt Caballero here.
If the plan was to take Dominguez out anyways, shouldn’t they have just let Stanton hit for Dominguez first?
Jesus fucking Christ, Grisham! How does GRISHAM not know how to bunt!?
If he can’t bunt, he shouldn’t.
But how could he possibly NOT know how to?!
No hits since the 4th inning against a bad pen.
The Yankees way!
This is just so insanely pathetic.
I’m STUNNED that Judge didn’t offer at that first pitch.
3-17 with 9 LOB or ????
Please take a pitch, Belli.
Take one more strike, Belli.
Goddamn, Belli, one of his worst games in a LONG time.
3-17, 9 men left on. Final answer. One hit since the 4th.
Bringing Wells in here is weird.
This RISP Fail is the stuff of legends.
Bednar!
Yankee hitters get a D- for the game. Gil gets a C. Doval gets an F. Boone gets an F-. Leiter, Weaver and Bednar get A-.
Weaver almost brained Goldy with that crazy error, and put the tying run on second base, while he was 1-2 on the batter with two outs.
Belli is forgiven because of the game-winning catch.
Nobody asked Boone why he didn’t pull Doval a batter earlier.
The Yankees reporters really do suck.
Even when they win, it almost never feels like they won.
