Let’s try some reverse psychology on Rodon. Go out and suck again tonight, Rodon! Please, I bet of you, have yet another terrible outing!
Yankee bullpen is scarily bad.
Some awful luck on that Judge liner.
Uncle Ben fitting right in.
Yep
Falling behind early is now a symptom of Yankees baseball.
If Rodon just can’t do anything, how can they let him continue to start?
Holy shit, Rodon. Holy shit. How can he be this bad? Can’t they just put him on the IL and say that his injury is that he sucks?
You have to be a SPECIAL kind of shitty to give up five runs before recording your first out.
GAME OVER. Against a mediocre Jays team.
Rodon fucking sucks, but I don’t get how the Turner groundball could possibly be called a hit.
Rodon is going to LOVE this mound visit.
O’s winning 6-0.
Watched top top of the first, brushed my cat, and saw a tweet about the game. At first I thought it was a joke.
This team might make the 2022 collapse look like tiddkywinks.
Two starters who were good the first1/3 of the season now quite literally can’t get anyone out.
So it wasn’t that the Dodgers, Orioles, Red Sox on a heater, Braves, and the Mets on a heater are good teams. It’s much more simple. The Yankees are bad.
Carlos Rodon is the kind of dude who thinks he did a good job that inning, and things just didn’t break right for him.
I would not take out Rodon. Let him throw 100 pitches. Save the bullpen – there’s 3 games left this weekend
was wondering this last year, even more now. Why did both San Fran and the White Sox have next to no interest in retaining Rodon while Cash was all in for him? His past performance line reminds me of DJ’s, two great seasons, league average otherwise. Two career years at age 28/29.
I think and have thought that it’s still the injury. It basically ruined him as a player, a la Edgardo Alfonzo and Don Mattingly.
And maybe Chicago and SF felt his health was a time bomb.
If it was an elbow injury, I think that’s fair. But it’s a back injury that no one could have predicted. Like how the Giants spent a lot on Alfonzo, and then he injured his back and became unplayable.
RAB Rodon’s underlying numbers were not good even when he was having success earlier this year, and it’s all catching up to him now. Stroman’s aren’t good either, though he has a history of outperforming his under the hood stuff, so hopefully regression doesn’t come for him.
Yeah, I’ve noted all season that he didn’t look as good as he had been pitching. But still, this is beyond that. This is just “How can you even let him start?” levels.
Who else can they start? If he says he’s healthy they have no choice. Same with Gleyber. You can’t start Jones over Gleyber. Jones is terrible with zero upside. Just gotta hope Gleyber members he’s a good hitter.
Poteet will be back soon, Rodon can figure his shit out in the bullpen.
I DO agree about Gleyber and Jones, though.
Hey runner on first, chance for a double play!
Rodon makes the Sevy of last season look like Cy Young.
It’s just flesh wound.
Baseball Reference was absurdly optimistic to think that the Yankees would win 71 games.
Season of Gloom.
lol
lmao
IKF must feel great about reaching on a groundball to the Yankee shortstop.

Trent Grisham can’t hit for shit, but when he DOES get a hit, it’s always a fucking home run. Too funny.
In all seriousness, as much as Grisham sucks, they probably should just make him the everyday center fielder until Stanton or Martian are back (or Cash trades for an actual good hitter), as at least he plays solid defense and allows Judge to DH.
Judge doesn’t like to DH and Soto absolutely hates it.
Why not DH Soto, with Judge back to right?
As bop notes, Soto HATES to DH. Judge doesn’t like it, either, but, I mean, come on, dude, take one for the team! Especially since Soto they have to make happy so that he’ll re-sign here.
Rodon was unlucky early in the first and then maybe he was simply steaming, which is unacceptable in any case. Reminds me of a friend after taking a bad beat in poker who used to sing “I am sailing.”
Yeah, he has the mental maturity of a second grader. He’s so embarrassing to watch out there. Even WITH his injury, he clearly has the stuff to not be GODAWFUL, he just can’t make good enough decisions.
looks like i picked the wrong week to quit drinking
Is it safe?
Boone “we’ll make the adjustment, the stuff is there, it’s in there to fix this, we got to make better decisions about pitch selection in certain situations. I feel like it’s good right now.”
First 81 games : 52 wins
Second 81 games: can I dream for 40?
Effros 1ip 0r 2h 2k, Shrieve 1.1ip 0r 1h 1k. Jorbit 4/6 and he’s hitting around 400 for the last week and UJD is rooting for him.
