Not an ideal pitching matchup, but that’s why it was so big to win last night, so now they’re assured of a split in the series.
But hey, crazier things have happened than Cookie Carrasco outdueling Shane Baz…but not MUCH crazier than that.
Jazz and Volpe 56 forever?
It’s baffling, especially since The Martian has been crushing righties!
Now would be a good time for Wells to start producing.
Goldy, buddy, you have to fucking hit the base!!
Wow, Jazz actually got a single!
Jazz has better fucking steal here.
It didn’t matter in the end, but how the fuck didn’t he steal? Why has he been so averse to stealing bases so far this season?
You don’t want to take the bat out of Volpe’s hands.
Keep hitting those lazy flyballs Tony. Some will go out.
Grisham! Are they going to actually actively miss this guy next season!?
Who is this Trent guy?
TPTG.
Jazz has got to be the fastest Yankee regular player that I’ve seen in YEARS (maybe since young Gardner). So his lack of stealing is baffling to me.
Baz looked SO good against Waldo and Rice. It’s weird that he’s given up three runs so far.
Ugh, Cookie, a four-pitch walk?! To the dude who’s leading the AL in steals?! For serious?
After getting to 3-1, Cookie threw two AMAZING pitches to get the K. Well done, dude!
Grisham stealing the starting CF job would be priceless
Finally a steal by Jazz.
Why do they keep batting this dude sixth when he is just overmatched at the plate right now?!
They’ve been stupid and very weird about him since his crash and burn in May 2023 when his average was in the 160s, and he should have been sent to AAA. But they kept running him out there.
He’s a good enough defender that it’s not unreasonable to keep him in the lineup, but batting him in the middle of the lineup is just mind-boggling.
Is he out of eggplant parmigiana?
All of these dudes run, Cookie! You can’t walk them!
Saw that coming (just because, well, you know, Yandy is a good hitter, and all he needed was a single to drive in the run). It was just a free run due to the stupid walk. You’re not good enough to allow leadoff walks to speedy runners, Cookie!
Fuck, don’t be hurt, Rice!
He was hit on the back of his elbow.
Okay, it looks like he is fine (just in pain, of course).
90 mph sinker in the zone. Judge should have sent that one to Proxima Centauri.
Cap’n Bloops finds another one.
jeterian
A leadoff double sucks, but hey, at least he didn’t walk him. He would have stolen second anyways, so same result.
About what to expect from Carrasco.
He got Warren out before the game could get away, why couldn’t he have learned something from that and saved Carrasco from himself?
So Rice is hurt, they just PH for him.
They PH Reyes instead of Bellinger? Is Cody hurt. Is Boone saving him to play the OF?
Lefty reliever
I didn’t know the Yankees had a Reyes
I mean…pretty good relief work so far
Moar runz plz.
Your wish, etc.
Booner used Reyes over Bellinger so he could save Bellinger to use as a defensive replacement for The Martian.
Insurance … runs? What is … ins-yur-unce runs?
Loud guy behind me has been yelling, “it’s our house now” as things good happened for Tampa. When Goldie beat out that dribbler a woman screamed out of nowhere, “I hope you guys have renter’s insurance.”
Walking a sub 100 hitter.
Devin growing pains or sucks.
Here’s the thing about Devin Williams: He is bad. At pitching. Probably some other stuff too, but definitely bad at pitching.
I heard he’s a good bowler.
Sure a lot of bad luck but walking Rortvedt and giving up a double to a slap hitter is pathetic.
Maybe it’s because they made such a big deal about Williams calling his change the “airbender.” Having your own personal pet name for a pitch is deeply uncool. Unless Tampa’s Bigge has pitches he calls “Super Nintendo” and “Sega Genesis.”
Williams is a mess, that’s why the Brewers traded him for Nestor and a MiL player.
Yeah, just bury him deep in the bullpen.
Chandler Simpson had one XBH in the minors this season but doubled off our lights out closer.
Pete Alonso broke him like Leyritz broke Wohlers.
That’s what I was thinking.
It only took the whirlwind 22 pitches to give up 4-runs. That’s something anyway.
Devin Williams with a 9 era. Farnsy sympathizes.
Boone will just keep running him out there until _______ .
Coulda jogged home. Good god.
I was wondering.
Now would be a nice time for Bellinger to do something positive at bat.
EDIT: What a disaster as he K’s.
Williams and Belli aren’t beating the bum accusations.
ugly hack
Thank goodness Jasson wasn’t in the game any longer. Boone is so Boone, the most Boone that Boone’s ever been.
They’re trying to give up a run.
Negative X-rays and CT scan for Ben Rice, at least.
Well, phew, for now.
“The Yankees are going to send up Escarra to pinch hit for Reyes.”
I have no idea who any of these people are. Are these guys non-roster invitees because they’re playing at the Stein?
Because he used Reyes over Bellinger. Because Booner is a moron.
LOL PH J C Escarra.
I told you Williams was just a reliever
Escara is up now because Booner pinch hit Reyes so he could use Bellinger on defense. The Martian should’ve been hitting where Bellinger hit and Bellinger instead of Escara.
No. Boone is gonna Boone, we all know that.
Can’t believe that just happens.
For a guy who’s given up fewer runs than almost anyone the last few years, he sure gives up a f**kload of runs.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in 3… 2… 1…
And there it is. Boone is such a killer.
Devin lost this game with a big assist from our idiot manager. Using Reyes to PH was a move that only 1/30 MLB mangers would’ve done.
As an aside why are Reyes and Peraza both on this team?
Why? Cashman is the smartest man in the room, especially when only he and Boone are the only ones in the room.
I mean, once Belli and Waldo choked, that was expected. What insane nonsense by Williams
Stop taking Jasson out for Bellinger.
As another aside is Escara a better hitter than Reyes? Escara’s hitting 158, Reyes is a career mediocre 245 hitter. They’re both terrible but Reyes is probably less terrible.
That was dumb? But it is Boone, so what else should we expect?
but there’s a susbtantial PH penalty and without looking it up I believe it’s worse for bad hitters
I’m not crazy about taking Jasson out for Trent but today it was for Bellinger and they were short a bat.
We’re also short a manager with some smarts. On a daily basis.
Under Booner we’ve been terrible on the road in xtra inning games.
Worst loss of the season?
99.4% win prob
I don’t know if this includes today but AI: The Yankees are 3-15 in road extra-inning games since 2022, according to Stathead. This is the worst record among all teams in MLB over the last three seasons. Their manager, Aaron Boone, has coached the team through this stretch.
As of April 2024 they were 3-15 since 2022, they’ve already lost 2 in 2025. IDK what they did between April 26, 2024, and 2025.

Whistling past the ninth.
Aaron Judge on Devin Williams: “We went out and got him for a reason. He’s the best closer in the game. We’ve got a long season. This guy is going to save a lot of ballgames for us and help us out. I’m not worried at all. He knows what he needs to do. He’ll go out there and figure it out.”
He probably won’t figure it out. He’s likely broken, which is why the price to obtain him was so cheap.
With the two losses in 2025 the Yankees are 7-18 on the road in extra innings since 2022. After the April 26 loss in 2024 they went 4-1 the rest of 2024, and 0-2 in 2025. The chart doesn’t have this years games.

Part of the reason the Yankees suck in extra innings is that their closers have blown so many saves. Boone uses all of his best relievers to avoid having to play extra innings (which to be fair is defensible) then the closer blows the save, the home run or bust offense can’t scratch out a single in the top of the inning to get a lead, and they have to go to the 6th or 7th guy in the bullpen in the highest leverage situation possible.
I think on a today of all days it’s important to remember the words of our Lord and savior when confronted with the fallibilities of a man like our manager.
And that is: “What a maroon.”
If Devin stinks, we’re fucked. If Bellinger stinks, we’re fucked. If Jazz stinks, we’re fucked.Volpe is phenom. Cookie and Stroman are dead men walking. Warren I have no idea but my guess is not positive.
No Rice, no surprise, Trent leadoff, Judge DH
I’m ok with putting Luke in as the closer until Devin can figure his shit out. Pete definitely broke him.
The thing that gets me is that Weaver has been dominant, and Williams is clearly not resigning here, so why NOT just flip their roles? You don’t have to worry about sucking up to Williams, as i imagine he’s gone no matter what, and his money will go to resigning Weaver. So just give Williams Weaver’s role. Williams used to set Hader up, after all.
