The Yankees can PROBABLY hit the Nationals pitching, but the Nationals can almost certainly hit the Yankees pitching, as well, so, well, we shall see! When the rain ends, that is.

First pitch, 8:45.
Lalane first A+ Start 4.2ip 2r 5h 8K 1BB
Elmer 5ip 1r 5h 6K 2BB
Escarra and Spence 3-4, Escarra home run
The streak is over!!
Hot Rice.
Not good, Jasson (231/670).
Embarrassing that Dominguez struck out on the exact same pitch he missed on the previous pitch. When a guy is THAT fooled, I agree that you should just throw it again, but a bad job by Dominguez to not adjust.
7 pitches for the first batter only to give up a 3-2 hit. Sounds about right.
I truly don’t get how that ground ball found SO much room.
I can’t get over how good that Mead swing looked on that pitch for it to only be an easy flyball to left. He looked like he CRUSHED it.
What is a fucking swing?!
Every fucking Yankee pitcher throws so many fucking pitches.
Oh my god, why do they keep bunting when they’re all such terrible bunters?!
And if Cabby is going to be the everyday shortstop (which I’m fine with), then why the fuck is Volpe even on this team instead of Jones?!
Cabby has been playing some shitty defense lately.
Rosario is much shittier than Cabby.
Weathers at 43 pitches through 2 innings.
That was an efficient inning for Weathers … except for the run.
Alright, Jasson!
FFed through the first 3. Rice is back bigly. Yankees with a shot at a big inning in the first but The Martian looked like shit. Yankee infield defense excrecable. If the Nats were having a pen game why start Rosario?
I was just about to comment on Martian’s lack of power.
He doesn’t hit enough to play 3b. Andujar hit 855 in 2018. You could live with that.
3-0 to Wells, I think we ALL knew he was still going to strike out.
Wells is back below the Wells Line.
Shit, Rice just fouled a pitch off of his knee!
Oh, why not.
Against these two pitchers another very unimpressive offensive showing.
Had him 0-2 and lost him. Still have 3 2/3 inning and we can’t hit. Not very promising.
I have a feeling this will end badly. Prove me wrong, Cruz.
Well, okay, Cruz.
When Cruz is good, he’s really good.
It makes that Boston game so particularly painful.
Wells was, like, “What would be even worse than a pathetic K?”
Did Wells fool anyone into thinking he doesn’t totally suck? 148/481.
Seems to me we’ve faced a lot of very good pitchers the last 2 or 3 weeks. Not tonight. No excuse for this shit show.
Agreed on the oddly large amount of good pitchers they’ve faced lately, and yes, no excuse tonight against these pitchers.
This is the second time recently Boner pulled Cruz of less than an inning with a low pitch count. ASB is this week, stick to Cruz, Headrick,and, Bednar.
And oh yes the Yankee hitters still suck except Rice. Yesterday was the anomaly.
Yeah, it was BAFFLING.
Also baffling is Boone is clearly all out on Hill lately…until today out of nowhere.
Palmquist came into this game with an era + of 63. Litell 85. NO FUCKING EXCUSES Yankees, Boone and Rowson.
Yeah, agreed. Terrible game by the hitters.
It’s all on Rice. Everyone else sucks.
What a brooooooooooooooooootal double play there by Rice. He hit it so hard.
“Nats have a porous bullpen.” Mark those words.
Great job, Hill. 😡
Dude is a groundball pitcher and he serves up TWO homers. He might just be washed. He’s not a young man.
Last 10 games Boston 8-2, Yankees 3-7 soon to be 3-8.
Tough, tough K by Goldy.
Escarra 400/1244 at Scranton, Wells 148/481. What’s the conversion factor?
Gotta get Wells going. And Volpe too, don’t forget Volpe.
This is the worst set of pitchers the Yankees have faced in weeks.
Using Bednar here is kind of clever, as Boone knows there won’t be a bottom of the ninth.
They’re losing to a guy the Nats just picked up off of the waiver wire and are making him the closer right away. This is just embarrassing.
Krook era+ career 32. He could make Jazz into a 50 home run guy Era+ 32 closing the game.
I have absolutely no idea what the Nationals were thinking with this shit. Why wouldn’t you just leave Beeter in!?
You can’t stop Austin Wells you can only hope to contain him
Yankees found a pen that was porous.
I have absolutely NO IDEA why they took Beeter out.
Krook was in the Yankee system from 21-23 appeared in 4 games with a 24.75 era.
Even Aaron Boone would’ve done better
It truly was a move so bad that not even Boone would have made it.
Well, that was unexpected and quite nice. Thank you, Jazz. And an Austin Wells tack on HR too, keeping him above the Wells Line.
The Wells home runs, of course… is it good that they’ll garner him another 300 plate appearances? I mean, I hope he’s recovering from that weird illness and will really hit, of course. But how likely is that?
I suppose given the current options it can’t be that big a mistake.
“It truly was a move so bad that not even Boone would have made it.”
First of all, come on, there IS no such move.
But second – they’ve lost so many they shouldn’t have lost that I’ll take a win they shouldn’t have (although there’ve been to many of those, too.)
