Well, THAT’S not a very fair pitching matchup. Hopefully the Yankees can split the series on Thursday.

A Will Warren Adventure.
Jazz striking out on ball 4.
Jazz with a tough take and then a hopeless swinging strike out.
If Warren can keep it close then we can go to the pen. Oh wait.
This game is closing in on being unwinnable.
Another Will Warren Adventure.
Another Yankee offense not coming to the park.
Well, they can’t hit average pitchers, so they aren’t likely to hit Cease. And Boone sits a hot hitter on top of that.
Who didn’t know that? Fan Duel had it even money for McMahon to hit a home run driving in at least 3.
Ya think Spencer has trouble with high heat?
Or low and slow?
Whoa! McMahon says, cease and desist.
Do the umps miss anything more than stolen base attempts? And I don’t blame them. Electric eye at second base. How soon?
Rice, so nice.
Cold as RICE.
RICE in his veins.
RICE-Y demeanor.
Served up a RICE cream sunda– ok, I’m running out of steam here.
Not willing to sacrifice
Quite krispie of you.
Ruth and Gehrig. Mantle and Yogi. Mantle and Maris. Judge and Stanton. Judge and Soto. Rice and McMahon.
Looked like ball four to Judge.
Warren 5 innings, 86 pitches. That’s his limit? With this bullpen? 4.1 Sunday, 5.1 yesterday, 5 today.
Birdbrain saved from a leadoff double
These relievers love to put guys on base for free; Vlad HBP.
Yankees up 2-0. Bullpen in. I’ve seen this movie.
Nice game, Judge, ugh.
In 2024 when McMahon slugged 397 his power was predominantly pull. This year he was slugging 297 before today his power is totally oppo.
What’s the plan? Doval for 1+?
Mike it was never going to be the new guy.
Well that was unlucky.
These relievers, putting guys on for free, walking the lead off batter.
9th inning WHIP is like 3.500
How about that!
https://tomkosensky.com/2026/05/19/yankees-milb-5-19-george-lombard-jr-3-hits/
Yankee closers trying to make their record in 1 run games look better.
Doval with a leadoff walk, a couple of hard hit outs, throws 100 but no strikeouts and I think only 1 swing and miss. Unimpressive.
Yay Win
I truly don’t get why Boone continues to give Doval high leverage innings without ever making him prove himself in LOW leverage innings.
Eric Reyzelman #28 prospect just promoted to AAA. IN AA this season 17.1ip 32 Ks WHIP 0.81
They’ve been talking about him for the bullpen for a while now. He could help.
That was lucky
