Watch them somehow lose this shit.
I don’t get how Grisham has been guaranteed a spot at the top of the order.
Maybe try him fourth or fifth.
Back to .401!
Three hits including a home run, and they score one run. Fucking dicks.
Battle of the lefty aces. Could Judge be the difference maker?
Volpe back in the 5 hole where according to theory your second best power hitter should be.
So I haven’t been following closely… Grisham is doing pretty well, huh?
Volpe pretty clearly is what he is – a light hitting good defensive SS. Ideally he’s your Scott Brocious, hitting 9th.
Grisham may be falling back to earth. Last 14 days 220/748, last 7 167/485
Yeah, by all means, keep playing the guy, but stop guaranteeing him a key spot in the batting order.
Aaaaarrrgghhh. Another GIDP.
Are they going to try for a double play per inning?
Ground ball DJ is back, 182/598. Fits right in with Reyes, Peraza and Vivas.
More RISP failure.
The more I think about it, the more irked I am that their second hottest hitter didn’t start last night, and then never even pinch hit in a game they lost by a single run. It’s just outrageously stupid.
I don’t mind that he didn’t start, but not using him later was insane.
DJ 2025, same as DJ 2021-2024. Prove us wrong, DJ.
DJ’s going to have a 385 OPS and they’re going to play him forever.
The best thing he could do for this team is get hurt.
I’ll happily take 21-23
Sigh
as I was saying
Komeback Kidz
Right now you just cannot have Wells, Volpe and DJLM in the line-up at the same time.
The problem is DJ, Volpe and Wells are what they are and they have value, DJ doesn’t. Less valuable than Cabrera, Peraza, or even Reyes
What… happened?
Well this is better.
Thank you, Rockies defense.
Where was this yesterday
I’d be pleased with my reverse jinx if I didn’t know it meant another 20 years of DJ’s dismembered, liquified and cremated corpse.
lmao imagine walking Peraza
Is that what I just did?
thank you!
Judge needs hits. Nice of them to get him another AB this inning!
UPD: or not.
Wow, bad AB for Judge.
Jesus, I’m starting to feel bad.
JUDGE SLUMP
Wow! A 10 spot, ends with Judge K’ing on 3-pitches.
I guess DJ read the blog and got MAD
And Volpe.
Wells, however, is not yet mad enough.
He’s 2-3 with a walk! tough crowd
Judge, whadda bum.
I’ve never been particularly dogmatic about Michael Kay one way or the other, but I have to say I’m enjoying the games without him.
I take it all back DJ
500 more at-bats for DJ after this.
They are doomed.
Best .190 hitter in baseball, Suzyn.
Bellinger, after that misssssssssserable start, is over 800.
Dominguez was almost at 800 a couple of days ago.
Grisham and Goldschidt are still knocking at the door of 900.
Yep we need a 3b and or a 2b as well as a starting pitcher.
A manager would be nice too.
Jazz is apparently nearing a return. i suspect they’ll have him play third, with DJ playing second.
SI The more exciting news is that his return may come sooner than anticipated, even for the Yankees. Chisholm gave the timeline of roughly two weeks before he could be back on the field playing with his teammates. And he hopes to do that by avoiding a rehab assignment in the minor leagues.
“I don’t like to do rehab assignments. I’ve never really been a fan of it,” Chisholm said.
One feels at this point that carrying DJ, Reyes, Peraza, AND Vivas is borderline insanity. One will go when Jazz comes back but that still leaves you with three utility players.
Lets s̶w̶e̶e̶p̶ take 2 from the Rockies.
