This Cole guy doesn’t even HAVE an ERA, so he must be awful.
In all seriousness, how fucking cool is it for him to be back? Of course, his first game has to be against a super-tough lineup. Hopefully we see Judge back tomorrow.
I got the mother fucking Mets game on Amazon AGAIN
Do you really only have the one option?
Miserable
This Yankee lineup is less than awesome
The 1b/3b rotation to keep djlm in the lineup sucks, it’s just that getting Cabrera in the lineup isn’t better.
He did hit the ball hard yesterday.
Missing Cody Poteet already
Once they get past Vertigo there’s not much to fear except fear itself. Not that Vertigo is anything special.
I hope Gleyber does better here than he did at Fenway.
Cade “Maury” “Shirley” Povich
Gleyber to Povich I am not the father.
Well it wasn’t a DP I guess
Small victories.
Blue, I don’t like watching djlm PAs either, but come on.
Was that a makeup for Gleyber’s ‘checked swing?’’
WOW Volpe! Just WOW!
You know what they always say, the guy who makes a great play in one inning always comes up fourth in the next inning.
Just looked at it, that was slick
This Os starter is gonna have 80 pitches by the 4th.
Maybe by the 3rd.
I look forward to the O’s releivers getting the chance to stifle the Yankees, why should they be left out
There’s one for everybody fretting about the walks
Volpe walked! Hallelujah!
Five baserunners, two innings, one run.
Trevy’s got to throw someone out.
Parboiled that one pretty good to the wrong spot.
If Soto’s not driving runs in, no one will tonight.
just flipped it on, 4 walks and a hit with 1 run in? WOE
Really? I thought they’d let him go 85 pitches, not 62.
with 8 and 9 up, why not give him another batter?
67 pitches last time and the 8/9 batters up. Since when do you throw fewer pitches than the previous start?
Higher stress than mil innings and more adrenaline. They are playing it safe with their best pitcher.
And now the recently shit pen other than Tonkin, comes in to pair with this shitty lineup, circa 2022.
Deadwood line-up. Two runs too much to overcome.
I legit didn’t get why they are fucking over their best pitcher. Use a good guy here to keep Coles line clean!
Forget it, Brian, it’s Boonetown.
Let Marinaccio lose the game on his own line next inning!
Now comes the roll-over, with maybe a CT thrown in.
Vernon Wells 2013 had a higher OPS than 4 Yankee starters tonight.
Cashman needed to be gone long ago.
The O’s bring in a reliever in the 5th inning who has an under 2 era to strike out Stanton.
Vertigo is decent but he’s not a 4 hitter.
Gleyber is a serious disappointment.
Rice caught a break.
Jamai Jones pinch hitting bases loaded two out. Great bench Cash.
And ……… The CT came early.
I don’t know if Jamhai Jones career OPS+ 44 counts as a CT, more like an indictment of Cash. You can’t have a Jones and a Grisham on your team.
I’d rather have used Wells. Not that that would be what you would’ve wanted.
Kahnle 4.3 era.
Yanks with the strong bench tonight
I’ve been saying all year that it is absurd that this team doesn’t have a single pinch hitter. Brandon Belt would be perfect. Jamai Jones has no reason for existing.
That 5th run didn’t hurt.
So right now the difference in the game is the retaliation hit-batter who scored.
Was it?
Felt like it to me. Right guy “right” time (I don’t think there’s ever a right time but)…
Yay DJ
That was roooough.
Caleb Ferguson in, because who wants to keep it a one run game?
i’m about as confident seeing gleyber going back on a ball as when clay misses his first pitch by 3 feet.
Trevino does that a whole lot too often. And now he can’t throw out anyone any more.
9GIDPs
What are we doing?
Jones OPS+ 44 and dropping but he gets the key AB of the game over Waldo or Wells. Over Waldo? More astonishing is that he’s on this team. Over Waldo?
Is this the guy from the Superman comics?
Great catch but Mr Mxyzptlk probably shouldn’t be pitching the 9th in a one run game.
Volpe must read RLYW.
Nice to see Volpe coming around.
Suzyn-
Did he say 125 mph? That can’t be.
Jahmai Jones – pinch hitter
Austin Wells – pinch runner
What’s the point of pinch running Wells?
Top-notch complaining.
To make sure that Wells comes up in the 11th instead of Stanton.
who am I kidding? No way the Yankees don’t lose in 10.
Well that was a fun 4 minutes of playing well.
How about you try to stop sucking, Trevy?
What a waste of time. Worst CT ever.
No loss for Cole.
Bullpen has suddebly become a real problem for this team.
I feel better about the error knowing that Holmes was just going to get rocked.
Holmes is just hoping that his pitches are strikes at this point.
I feel okay about Holmes in general, but when he doesn’t have it, he REALLY doesn’t have it.
He’s been terrible for a month. For the year his WHIP is over 1.3 which is terrible for a closer.
Bullpen allowed all the runs even if 1 is charged to Cole.
If their catcher can be run against by everyone that’s a major problem. When every walk or single becomes a double or triple you can’t really win games. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as poor a few games as this week by a C. And yeah Boone is an idiot.
They were pointing out the other day that Trevi has been above average throwing guys out this year. What happened?
Last 5 games, 14 days, before tonight hitters batting 364/909 vs Holmes. Last 7days 500/1400. Even last 28 days 318/802. Right now Holmes is a liability. When he’s bad he’s REALLY BAD, last August he had a 7.84 era.
So many noodle bats in the line-up.
Right now Trevino is a huge liability.
Thank goodness that they don’t have Wells to pinch hit here.
Waldo had no shot there on his jump. What the fuck?
if his jump was a step less shitty the call wouldn’t have been overturned.
how are there so many players on this team that could be replaced by generic talent and we’d never notice or the team would even improve?
Base running strikes again.
The most CT game of all time.
I don’t think they had to worry about Jones hitting a double and wondering if Trevino could score from first.
I can’t remember two worse bench hitters than Grisham and Jones.
Wasn’t that a 1970’s TV show?
Grisham is A. a great defender and B. a necessary evil in getting Soto.
It’s Jones that just makes no sense for him to still be on the Major League roster instead of a guy who can hit at ALL.
Yeah B I know.
Meredith said Trevino lost 4 MPH since last season.
Well, I’m glad I missed that. telling you, this team is short 1-2 position players.
I don’t know, looks like it was a pretty damned good game!
Judge instead of Grissom probably would have won this game.
Having 2 better relievers – or all the relievers not slumping would have won this game.
Having a better manager, meaning less bat-shit insane bench usage and bullpen usage and possibly another out from Cole, might well have won this game.
Really good to see a really good offensive game from Volpe. (Just so long as what Volpe needs is not Judge to be absent.) Apparently a decent game from Rice? That could make a huge difference.
Okay, watched the condensed game. Some great fielding – Volpe, Verdugo… Rice smacked the ball, only a great play turned a double into a sac fly in a crucial position.
Really all on the bullpen and – especially – the manager.
I do not get the thing with Trevino.
Weakest arm among catchers, but one of the best pop times – so he makes up for it with footwork, transfer time, and he must get rid of it as quickly as Marino. Until suddenly he can’t throw anyone out. Again, the claim is that it’s because of his weak arm. But that’s been true for years (they have the stats, I checked). And it never led to him being unable to throw people out. So that is NOT THE EXPLANATION. It’s so bizarre.
But one thing is true – if he can’t throw ANYBODY out, he can’t play that position. Good for Wells, yes?
