Welcome to the shit show.
Toronto already up in the first.
Although…Yankees can now say that, too. 😉
That’s a nice sight.
He’s one of the most fascinating Yankees hitters I’ve ever seen. He can strike out on three balls in the dirt against a bum, or hit a homer against an ace.
Rays take a 2-1 lead.
Volpe’s been hitting the ball hard lately. Unfortunately it’s just a matter of how seldom he reverts to being phenom.
I’d play Jazz against lefties and put Cabby in the outfield with Rosario at 3b. I’d also probably play Rice somewhere every game.
Jays tie it up on a two out hit.
Very Yankees-like as Houser walks Gimenez to bring up the top of the order with two on, two out. After a mound visit, Springer grounds out.
Warren losing his concentration after the unlucky hit. Grrr…
Walking Jackson Holliday?
You shouldn’t be needing a mound visit in the third fucking inning. Warren is so mentally weak.
What a fucking bum.
Just use Yarbrough at this fucking point. This mental midget is so pathetic.
The Rays call a mound visit and get the third out. Yankees call a mound visit and he gives up a 3-run HR.
Just so mentally weak out there; so, an infield hit happens, no need to melt down, but he did and he does.
He was dialed in until the unlucky hit, and that just unraveled him. It’s simply pathetic.
Million dollar arm, 10¢ head.
I don’t know. He’s got a good fast ball otherwise he stinks. I’m not sure the mental aspect is more than minor. The game when he had the bad first he settled down the next 4. He’s 26 not 22.
He’s just falling apart. We’ve seen enough of this from Warren, banish him to the bullpen.
Just a reminder Will Warren breaking run value percentile ONE! Offspeed SIX. Pitching run value 25! XEra 4.55. 2024 era 10. 2024 MILB era 6.
Will Warren is ungood.
And the HR was off an 0-2 pitch! A horrible 0-2 pitch.
Gives up an unlucky hit with two outs, proceeds to then need 20 more fucking pitches to get that third out, while allowing three runs to score in the process.
Just a pathetic display of mental weakness.
Maybe. Maybe he’s just not good. Except for his fastball his stuff stinks.
Giving up the HR on an 0-2 pitch that he just spun up there.
How is Cabby not on second yet?
Judge!
Okay, it did not matter that he didn’t steal.
That was quite valuable, Aaron.
MVP. Good decision Cabby. Speed kills power.
Rogers wasn’t going to walk Judge if Cabby stole second, was he?
Stanton is unreal.
Bring Yarbrough in now!
Need a quick hook.
If you had Rogers only going three innings, then, well, you might just be a witch.
Let’s not get shut down by Selby
Stupid Nathan Lukes. Oh well.
Falling apart.
Stupid Will Warren, too.
Stupid Aaron Boone, as well.
I admire the confidence Boone has in Warren which is to say I don’t admire, respect or like him having confidence in a guy who is at best mediocre.
Et tu, Goldy?!
Getting through this inning is going to be scary as shit. Good thing they didn’t give the relievers a three run lead to work with.
Three young starters, would one please take the cue from Fried?
They better pull this bum as soon as they possibly can. What the FUCK, Leiter?!
Right on schedule, a Yankees pitcher follows an error by walking a .223 hitter.
A single away from a tie game. Just fucking absurdity.
Jays take a 4-2 lead.
Why are these pitchers all like this?!
It’s like Leiter has no control over where the ball is going to go.
DO NOT WALK THE No 9 BATTER.
YOU have to be able to get this guy out, you don’t need to go 3 balls on him at all.
Infuckingcredible.
How often does this team to THAT?
The problem with Leiter is that once he DID go three balls, the chances of him grooving one was high, so a walk wasn’t the WORST thing in the world.
Getting to 3-2 was the pathetic part.
This bum better not make the playoff roster.
Let’s walk Colby Mayo, why not?!? What a disaster of a bullpen, and all because Warren can’t pitch after an infield hit.
More 2-run HRs, please.
I guess Caballero moves to third?
Why couldn’t Cano pitch like this against Toronto?!
Ah, Wells, can you do something positive this AB?
EDIT: About time.
Wow, I was not expecting a ribbie single by Wells!
I guess this sort of IS how Cano pitched against Toronto, to be fair.
Holy shit, the lack of fundamentals on this team.
Volpe???? Huh?
Honestly, it was more bad luck than anything, but yes, still can’t happen.
I still can’t believe they actually got out of the previous half inning with a lead.
With a three-run lead, and Hill sailing, why make the move with two outs?
Jesus christ, Cruz.
It was just peak over-managing by Boone to pull Hill with two outs and two easy outs.
This is actually a fantastic team, and we don’t appreciate them.
They must be to be where they are, somehow, impossibly overcoming the overwhelming, concerted efforts of the manager to destroy every chance in every game.
Toronto took Tampa Bay’s last punch. Boo.
Stupid Tigers.
Why do we care now whether Boston wins?
Because some of us don’t like Boston. And in my case I don’t like the mutts either.
Why are these pitchers like this?! You’re up four runs in the eighth inning and you start with three straight balls?!!?
Strike one not so much.
is the pen coming together at the right time?
I like Duval Robert better than Duval Shelley
Doval has such good stuff. Why is he never like this?
Thanks for nothing, Tampa Bay!
I don’t like using Bednar up four. He actively doesn’t like pitching in these situations.
Boy, the Tigers sure love to choke.
So that pretty much locks the Red Sox into the #5 seed. The Yankees really need to fucking win this division somehow.
The Boys of Shea lose to the Mariners, the Reds are winning as of now.
If the mutts and the Reds tie for the 3rd wild card, the mutts go home. If the Yanks and Jays tie for first, the Jays get a bye. That’s another down side of having three wild cards. So Random.
1 for his last 28, and Bednar walks him to lead off the ninth. Absurd.
Just special.
Closers with a more than 3-run lead are often shaky. As Bednar walks the leadoff hitter.
What the fuck was that, Caballero!?
Why isn’t McMahon in?
I mean, do you even have to ask?
You lose the season series 7-6, tie for the third wild card, you go home. Insane.
Yep, bullpen blues at work. There was no need to bring in Bednar up 4-runs.
It’s just so fucking stupid.
Boone panicking. It’s more than it being a 4 run lead, Boone doesn’t understand the tactical implications of needing to win Saturday AND Sunday.
Yeah, that’s the big problem. They need to win on Saturday and Sunday, they can’t waste Bednar here.
It’s the same thing Boone did using Weaver in every playoff game regardless of the score.
That’s how you bear down and not wilt (hint to Warren, Gil, Schlittler ).
Bednar seems to only come alive when it “matters.”
Reds and Mets now tied for the final WC spot. If the Reds win out, the Mets go home.
Katie S worse than I thought
Mark Leiter Jr has a 1.53 WHIP this season, the 4th highest among AL relievers (min. 40 IP)
YES had a stat that he’s had the worst defense behind him of any pitcher in baseball. -11 runs.
Not to say he has been good but they’ve really puntes behind him.
Could have gotten just one damn man more on base to get Judge another at bat.
…
But can’t say they haven’t done a yeoman’s job playing out the stretch.
I’d love them to pull it out, but this has been fun.
