Wacha is a guy I’ve been wanting the Yankees to acquire for years because he always dominates them for some weird reason. Hopefully it does not continue tonight.
I have mentioned it before, but, seriously, Cam, could you and Fried stop choking, please? The team makes so much more sense when you have two “stoppers.” Fried and Cam are actively NOT working as stoppers right now. The offense is the bigger issue, to be sure, but Fried and Cam choking their last couple of starts has been bad, as well.
What’s up with Rice being moved behind Stanton against a righty?
About the Author
Gerrit Cole AA era 9.
So many Yankees have sucked that it’s easy to not pay attention to Cody sitting at a mediocre 242/690
With these teams unless Judge homers it could easily be scoreless deep into the game. Then it’ll be a battle of the pens.
Cole: 4.1 IP | 3 H | 3 ER | 1 BB | 3 K
I wouldn’t ever wish injuries on Judge or Stanton, but a rehab stint in Somerset or Scranton might be their only shot at playing for a championship team.
Golf shot
I guess Rosario is better protection for Rice than Stanton?
And again, how is Rice not playing every day?
The Yankees have a top 5 catcher and a top 10/15 catcher and a LHP killer.
Wells, Escarra, and Munson’s ghost?

Almost Jazz.
Cabby should steal home, because there’s no way the Yankees get a hit with RISP.
That was a smart challenge even if it had been wrong.
Bellinger down to 254/708, and now lower after that AB with 2nd and 3rd and 2-out. RISP Fail.
Have we seen the last of 800+ Cody?
With Judge at 8 HR and 4 SB through 20 games, he’s on pace for a 64/32 season.
Jazz has some work to do.
Most disappointing Mr 5/25. Next Mr $22M. Next Wellsey, he was #1 last year, so progress.. Then Gil. Then Cody.
Elite defense and 602 OPS. What a bargain at $22M
What happened? Friday thread disappeared. Needing to log back in constantly. Is it the Strait of Hormuz?
I was gonna bet the under. But that looked too easy. So I switched to the over. But the sharpies were one step ahead of me and I got double crossed.
Crisp
Why isn’t Rice batting 2, 3, or 4?
More RISP Fail.
Well, they do have three hits so far in the game.
Doval is just a total piece of shit. He seems to fail more often than he succeeds in close games. Bird, McMahon, and Jake Bird Cash gems,
Our magician pitching coach just needs a little more time with Doval and Bird, just little more time.
Doval’s era 7.88, exactly what you want from your 8th inning guy.
Stanton was good for like 5 games.
Yay runner on and who’s up?.😔
Baseball is a ridiculous game.
Pigs can fly; McMahon with a 2-run HR. Holy cow.
Oppo!
At least you can count on Jazz.
Guys on the Yankees bench couldn’t believe McMahon hit that either.
Ringo wrote a song about Bednar, It don’t come easy.
Well, I’ll be.
Giving the win to Doval is unseemly.
HATE that shit.
