Jansen’s back. That dude always seems to kill the Yankees. The Blue Jays have definitely lined up their starters well this series.
On the top right of the page there’s what I can only describe as an animated Target logo–anyone know what that’s about?
It’s a vestige from the “Breaking News” section that the site came with that I got rid of. Clicking the flashing red thing would bring you to the breaking news section if there was a breaking news section.
gotcha
There, I THINK it’s gone now.
boo, kikuchi, boo
when did this asshole start throwing 98?
It’s hard to get too mad at Kikuchi. The dude is a total pro.
rodons stuff looks very crisp
This has the makings of an unpleasant evening of baseball.
12 pitch walk. Hmm.
hmm
Bad send, good luck.
what the fuck was that?
Nice bounceback inning
soto is slow as shit
pretty good hit, springer
praise advance scouting!
Flash and Kay were a lot more impressed with Rodon’s previous starts than I.
R.I.P. Carl Erskine, the last of the ‘Boys of Summer’.
Man, I wish Rodon was a smarter pitcher.
Was he like this when he was good? He may be better than last year but he’s not good.
When he was good, he trusted his stuff more and went at guys. But yes, he’s always walked guys some.
BB/9 when he good- 2.4, 2.6. Now? 4 and counting.
Dicks around Springer to go after the guy who had already gotten a hit off of him, then drops a fastball dead center to a fastball hitter.
How is he THIS dumb?
If it’s a matter of smarts Blake and Trevi have to share the blame.
You’ve seen Rodon. Does he strike you as a guy who can be told what to do?
4ip 5h 4bb 5k 102 pitches. If his stuff was really that great they wouldn’t have been able to keep “grinding.”
100%. He could not put Springer away. It’s a very bad sign.
If Volpe, Soto and Waldo don’t combine for 6 hits and 4 RBIs the Yankees are in trouble.
No stopping this offense.
Luke Weaver not being able to put away a guy is one thing. Rodon not being able to is a whole OTHER thing.
That’s true but considering our rotation guys like Weaver, Gonzales, Marinaccio, Santanaand Ferguson have to be good
Feels like they had a chance to really bloody Kikuchi in the second, whiffed, and in the style we’ve come to love gave up at that point
I imagine last Saturday was the high water mark of the season
Sunday top of the 10th.
Yankee 3-7 185/741, 236/785, 246/644, 205/539, 217/691-Do you like it?
Kudos for having a guy named Ernie in 2024
Game over.
If Cabrera keeps hitting (I know, he probably won’t), would they consider benching Torres when DJ comes back?
Volpe Deja Vu all over again.
Did any of you get drawn back in? I hope not.
Im going to continue to say Stanton is done as a decent player, and now I’m starting to think Rizzo is too. if Gleyber is meh this team is in trouble with its below average starting pitching.
I think Stanton has more upside and downside than Rizzo. Rizzo needs to hit with power and he’s not.
One ninth of the season gone and Judge has yet to find his groove. Judge, find that groove.

Katie Sharp Yankees Pitchers Last 2 Games:
15 walks, 72 Batters Faced
The only other 2-game span in the last 60 years where Yankees pitchers had 15+ walks and fewer than 75 batters faced was Sept. 15-16, 199
That’s over 1800 YEARS AGO!
Has to be some kind of record.
