The Yankees sadly won’t go 162-0. Now we shall see if they start a losing streak. The Yankees are facing three tough starters in this series, so Max Fried and Cam Schlittler really need to pitch well for at least six innings (preferably more).
Also, holy shit, McMahon, could you fucking hit a LITTLE BIT?!

Rodón’s recovery hits snag due to hamstring tightness
https://www.mlb.com/news/carlos-rodon-yankees-right-hamstring-tightness
And Jazz, and Grisham, and outside the 2 HRs, Judge as well.
Grisham and Jazz have at least had some good looking at-bats. McMahon and Wells have also LOOKED lost, while their results have been bad, too.
TBS has the national broadcast. I’m showing the game is unavailable due to blackout. But YES has it. Flip to YES and … the game is unavailable due to blackout. MLB tv? Game unavailable due to blackout. Three things I pay for that all have the game that I don’t get to watch. EXCELLENT system we’ve designed here.
HBO Max has it in some areas
Stanton’s gonna pull something
For serious!
I mean, throw him an off-speed meatball, and of course he’s going to pull it. Especially now that his swing is shorter.
Oh, you mean a hamstring.
Two runs, and they could have had none with a good throw home. WOE.
I hated it when they got McMahon, but he isn’t this bad.
Bellinger, Stanton and Rice carrying the team. Our 50/50 guy mired at 118/285. McMahon083/297
At least Bellinger, Rice, and Stanton are batting consecutively.
And maybe Jazz just needs to dial it back to 70% in order to go 50/50.
Stanton 526/1315 but can’t open a jar.
The way he has historically sustained injuries running the bases, it’s probably good that he doesn’t get into a pickle.
I hope somebody pays you for this
Judge K’ing at an alarming rate.
Judge seems to be stepping in the bucket on his K’s.
Probably correlates with that his HR’s have been pulled down the line.
And just as I call that out, he hits one right back up the middle. Unlucky carom, but hopefully he can redirect his hits to center and right-center. He’s best when he does that.
While Judge, Chisholm, McMahon, Caballero, and Wells are all clearly underperforming at the plate, so are Seattle’s 1-2-3-4. Raleigh is the best of that group at .143 AVG /.440 OPS. Refsnyder is 0-for-8, all vs LHP. Julio Rodriguez is under .100. Josh Naylor is at .045.
Put it in the books.
Yay win! Yay Fried! Yay Rice!
Why in the world can’t WInquest get into any of these games?!
This seemed like the right spot.
They used Doval for an inning in a 7-0 game instead of Winquest, as well.
Just seems like a poor idea.
Ser Benjen of House Rice is going to have himself a season this year. I suspect a lot of those hard hit balls from last year that were hit right at fielders are going to miss some fielders this year.
If they keep pitching like this, they’re going to win a LOT of games.
Of course, since no team has EVER pitched like this for long, I suspect they’re eventually going to need an actual offense.
