If they lose to these dudes…it will be so, so embarrassing.
These unis are … something.
Man, does the ball carry!
Makes up for 2 strikeouts in their first two outs to a team – what are they, last in the league in strikeouts?
That pitch was nowhere near the target.
Really have to hope he settles down.
Why is Clarke Schmidt
At least he only threw 80 pitches
How in the world does Schmidt still have more pitches thrown than Gordon!? What the FUCK was that shit, Schmidt?
Rockies have a big edge. They’re used to the climate. By Sunday we should be ok.
embarrassing
Man, hearing Coors is the 3rd-oldest ballpark in the NL is … disorienting.
Yankee-like.
Jesus fucking Christ, Wells.
DJ is who he was 2021-2024. Prove me wrong, DJ.
I’d settle for 2021-2023
DJ down to 200/654 tho he did have a couple of hard hit line drive outs.
Really was NOT expecting this.
THAT is what it’s supposed to look like!
Been a WHILE!
Actually, 365 feet?
In Colorado?
I take it back.
Nice, but not the real thing.
Back to .400!
After Texas and Colorado how will Warren, Schmidt and Yarborough do against a team that can hit?
Saw-level trap, apparently.
I don’t mind pulling Schmidt, but why would you go to Hill there?! McMahon had GREAT numbers against him!
Tim Hill last 14 days before tonight opp 313/1103! We got lucky with him last year but remember the White Sox cut him and he was never much.
I’m sure his numbers will only improve in Colorado.
You can’t count on these tin cans being good forever. Hamilton and/or Hillmay need to be replaced.
I don’t think you replace Hill, you just don’t use him like he’s some fucking fireman.
Especially bringing him into a situation with two runners on against a guy who was 3 for 9 with a home run against him.
It depends. If he keeps pitching like this you have to.
Boone is gonna do what Boone does.
The Yankees respond with three quick outs. Playing down to their opposition.
PGold and The Martian first pitch swinging, phenom 4 pitch strike out. Yankees have been reading their press clips.
A ball and a late call.
How in the FUCK is Vivas hitting here instead of Belli!?
He’s saving Belli and if this team like most Cash teams had any depth decisions would be simpler.
Saving him to PH for Goldschmidt or Phenom in the 9th?
He’ll say if there was a man on he would’ve used Belli.
Latter day DJ is back, 190/615. DJ, Vivas, Peraza, Reyes, and JC great depth.
Winans 5ip 1r 4h 5Ks. The first earned run he’s given up at Scranton, era up to 0.32. Rodrigues 3/4 389/970.
Beeter 1 clean inning, 2 Ks
Just as I expected two weeks ago when I saw they were going to come to Colorado and play a historically decrepit team.
Would Boone seriously have the guts to pinch-hit Belli for Volpe? No way in hell, right?
When has he ever PH for Volpe?
He’s never had a good pinch-hitter until now. But yes, I agree, it’s not going to happen.
I really DO like Headrick, though.
Still, along the lines of other pitchers – Schmidt totally didn’t have it today. He was missing badly all the time.
He could have gotten out of it having surrendered 1 run.
Yeah, he was pathetic, but was still pretty good. He’s a very talented pitcher.
This is a terrible game.
And yet one more game you can pin squarely on Boone.
(Note that this is entirely consistent with players performing over predictions for him.)
Why is Dominguez swinging at pitches heading for his ass?
Belli should hit for either Volpe or Wells. He’ll likely hit for neither.
You’re not allowed to hit for phenom or phenom II
Congratulations to the Colorado Rockies on their 9th win of the season, on May 23.
Wells looks like a bench player, DJ is as expected.
It ruins my mood when they lose.
I don’t see why they have to do that.
And yes – Wells looked like he’d be a young star at catcher.
It would be nice if he started looking like that again before the world forgets that he ever did.
Biggest disappointment of the season. I thought he’d be really good.
Meanwhile Devers is heating up and the catcher Cash gave to the townies for Elmer Cruz, who is back with Boston, went 3/5 today and is hitting 291/837. Cash with his usual impeccable ludgement preferred JC Escarra 175/631. And in some cruel irony Garret Whitlock, who Cash surrendered to keep Brooks Kriske era 11, got the win.
Cruz is one of their best prospects, no?
Wait – if Cash traded for Elmer Cruz, and Elmer Cruz is back with them and one of their best prospects… there’s something wrong with that picture, isn’t there?
He was their #14 prospect. He’s got good strikeout numbers 10.6/9 and bad walk numbers 4.2/9 in high A.
No I misread something Cruz is on the Yankees High A team.
Cruz is the Yankees’ #6 prospect right now according to MLB.com. So I imagine that trade will end up being fine.
Does that trade look bad if Narvaez continues to hit 100 points better in OPS in the Majors than he did in AAA? I would agree that no, it wouldn’t, but, I mean, come the heck on, right? Who suddenly starts hitting only in the Majors? We always knew he could play catcher defensively, but so can Wells and Escarra (and Trevino and Higgy and Torrens). The fact of the matter is that the Yankees are just really, really good at teaching catcher defense, so much so that the league is currently FILLED with former Yankees catchers. The hitting is a huge surprise, and that TYPICALLY means a reversion is coming.
Tomorrow will Flash justify the loss by saying how teams get up for the Yankees? Rockies have not won a series all year. Will this be the first?
Ohtani, Betts, Lindor, and Soto went a combined 1 for 19 tonight
Soto now at 236/787
i get in late and we apparently lost to the rockies?
i demand a recount !
