Would be nice for Rodon to not suck tonight. WOULD be nice, but, well, you know…
Not liking how easily Scherzer shut them down in the first.
Once it was 2-0, probably should have just walked Vladdy.
Hopefully the Jays won’t let Scherzer complete the perfect game.
Okay, the pitch count will probably also keep him from the perfect game, too.
The Red Sox made Chase Burns look like a total chump.
He looked good against us. Oh wait, I see.
Seems like he was tipping his pitches tonight. Duran told the others, and they all destroyed Burns.
The Yanks have their new offense down pat. One good offensive game a week and hoping the other teams all lose.
Rodon is such a dumb pitcher. Hopefully he gets out of this inning okay, but boy, this is such dumb pitching.
Will they he in first place by the weekend?
When does judge drop below 340?
Will we get a 3b this year?
So many questions.
Good job moving Jazz up in the lineup, Boonie.
Scatman: That wasn’t a HOF pitch, ba-da-ba-da-bee.
That didn’t just miss. That didn’t miss.
OK Stanton you’re so due.
Not what I was hoping for but it will do.
Quality dig on Suzy from Cone.
Rodon pitched well but 5 innings and the back or our pen is now Hamilton, Brubaker and Hartlieb? (career era over 7). They really hate Beeter.
And no days off next week. Yankees need to put up way more crooked numbers to survive.
These fucking LOSERS. Volpe only seems to get tight when him making an error is actually a big deal.
You just know they’re losing this game.
Nice range. Dumb throw.
Grisham solved the playing time conundrum by being hurt.
Okay, sounds like hamstring TIGHTNESS, which hopefully won’t mean more than a week.
Except for yesterday’s game, Jazz has been pretty much the whole offense.
Jesus Christ, Escarra.
Collective stupidity. A Boone trademark.
And on an 0-2 pitch, of fucking course.
Reflections of the manager.
I can’t even complain about Lo, as Vladdy is just a good hitter. Maybe if he had an open base to work with.
Rays, of course, came back from being down 4-0.
Why not? I expect our good relievers to get good hitters out. Lo has a 4.15 era this season.
Bases loaded, one out, is a tough spot for ANY pitcher to be in, but facing a hitter like Vladdy is even harder.
Yep, or are we to expect a decent hitter, Vlad, to always get a hit against them? Well then, they aren’t very good pitchers, are they.
That ball was smoked. But I wonder if some third basemen couldn’t have turned that into an easy double play.
It’s amazing how often the fielder who makes a stupid throw leads off the next inning.
Now for them to get mowed down for three innings like the Boone’s they are.
Want to know how bad Peraza is without looking at his numbers? DJ is an everyday player.. And what the fuck was that pitch he swung at?
One inning of getting mowed down out of the way, with a terrible AB by Jasson to end the top of the seventh.
Maybe Judge can strike out again? He’s striking out like it’s 2017.
We seem to be losing the battle of the pens frequently this year. Cruz is out. Lo is not what he used to be. Leiter and Hill are decent. Then there’s Hamilton, Brubaker and Hartlieb.
There are no magic inducing pitching coaches.
This is wild. This can’t be smart. Walking Judge with no one on, up 1?
And that wasn’t smart Jazz. Collective stupidity a Boone trademark.
only boone could be that dumb
It was SO fucking stupid.
Chad Green 6+ era last 12 games.
You should NOT pinch run for Stanton here.
Can you really pinch run for Stanton with Peraza down 1? He’s not on second.
It’s ABSURD. I guess the theory is that Goldschmidt can hit later.
That was some tough luck by Rice.
Then Volpe lines out.
Yankees 12-16 in 1 run games. I’m rooting for xtra innings on the road. but I don’t see the Yankees scoring here.
Do they have to pinch hit for DJ?
DJ is so bad. He can’t even make contact any more. Nice bench Cash.
Making Jeff Hoffman 4.98 era look like Trevor Hoffman
Now 12-17 in 1-run games.
12-17 in one run games. Yankees never come back but often surrender leads. Third place by Sunday? Fourth place by September 15th?
Underperforming our Pythag by six.Worst underperformance in the MLB.
6 games under Pythagorean is likely just the six games Boone blew by being an idiot, so it works out mathematically.
This game seriously pissed me off more than some of the Red Sox losses, because that sixth inning was just SO pathetic.
At least the Rays lost.
This whole month pissed me off.
