I’m pretty sure that teams that start a guy with the Mark of the Devil as his ERA never win those games. Especially when they have no bullpen behind him (well, sorry, I guess they have Ian Hamilton, Tim Hill, and Allan Winans, so they’re stacked).
I can’t believe Vivas is getting another start in this series. They need to pick up a third baseman DESPERATELY (but I guess that’s the problem, right? Everyone KNOWS how desperate they are).
So Volpe comes back from a few days off and hits well…where have we seen this before? And let’s make sure we never give the guys a day off.
“We need a 3b”. Where have we heard that before? Oh yeah from everyone on this site since January. Cashman sucks.
That’s right the eggplant parm.
Marcus Stroman for the series win. With a little help from Judge.
Stanton had a great AB last night that led to the Grisham hit where he laid off the kind of pitches that often he flails at.
Stanton chugging around 3rd.
Spence 1-2 with a home run, 16 games into his AAA career he’s 400/1338
So close to getting through the first inning 1-2-3, but of course not…
Once Acuna singled, I figured it was a collapse time, so good for Stroman for a scoreless first.
There’s no way that the Blue Jays are THIS good, and yet they keep destroying the Giants in this series.
phenom “I know my process, I believe in my process, the hits were going to come.” Just forget about the totality of your career.
Stroman is a career era+ 111 and as recently as the first half of 2024 he had a 3.5 era. It’s not impossible that he might be ok.
There’s a legit argument that the shitty Stroman we’ve seen the last year really WAS injury-related. Not that he is a great pitcher by ANY means, but just not the SHITTY version of himself. He really should be a serviceable fourth-fifth starter.
Jesus 3 bullets, two outs and one off the wall his so hard it’s only a single. Could easily be two in and 1 out.
No more runs for you!
Jones has homered NINE times in Triple-A over 16 games with this 445-foot blast!

Make it ten. 3-4 with two home runs 418/1399
Martian last 26 PAs 208/519. He really is the odd man out for now. He needs to get his power numbers up and that’s often the last skill that develops for younger players.
I don’t like this. Two runs won’t suffice.
The second Spencer Jones HR today.

Adding on runs is not allowed, right?
In 9th grade Spencer played 2 games at 3B.
Everything solved!
Pinch run now?
Not with just a two-run lead.
BAD phenom
That’s the real Volpe right there.
I do not understand this at all.
Boone is so smart. He did some calculations, had AI draw a curve of the expected arc of the next pitch.
A clutch 2-out HBP by Vivas.
Jasson, ugh.
Hey, at least they got A run somehow.
It makes up for the Olson home run.
I imagine that’s it for Stroman, right? Can’t complain about six innings and one run.
Or do you try to steal outs in the seventh before having Tim Hill finish the 7th and pitch the 8th?
Stanton better fucking start all three games in Toronto. When he’s on a heater, you fucking PLAY HIM.
I’m just happy that the Yankees didn’t waste Trent Grisham with the bases loaded and Vivas up. No sir, what could Trent Grisham ever do with the bases loaded?
Boone understands the game better than any of us could hope to do.
That was an unexpected insurance run. Thanks, Jazz! I will promise not to recommend people hit you in the head.
Yay oppo run scoring double
It’s TOTALLY reasonable to use Hamilton here…and I fucking HATE IT, though.
Giants came back just not all the way.
Two scoreless by our pen. A recent first.
Full pack Devin.
Ah, yes. Devin can’t wait to get the Braves back in it.
Disaster Devin
John Wetteland II
Okay, that was better. Yay, win.
That was such a nice win that the Red Sox comeback win doesn’t even bother me. I can’t expect them to lose their Crochet games.
Upon further review a home run was better than a walk there.
Spencer 4-5 again, last 2 days 8-10, 3 home runs, 1 walk and only 1 strikeout, now at 426/1422. Pereira with a home run In back to back days.
Too bad neither of those guys can play SS or 3b.
If only we knew in the offseason that our left side of the infield was weak hitting our brilliant best in the game GM would have taken care of it. Alas it was a problem that came out of nowhere.
I truly don’t know how Cash could have addressed third base in the offseason. The options just weren’t there for what the Yankees could pay.
Alex B says hi; ok too much $.
Are you saying Colorado or Arizona would not have traded in the offseason?
I am DEFINITELY saying Arizona wouldn’t have traded during the offseason.
As for Colorado, McMahon is making $15 million a year! Cash had probably $5 million to play with. There just wasn’t anyone out there.
Stroperson since returning from the DL, 4 starts, 3.00

D-Rob to the Phillies. Ah well.
I can’t say I had much faith 40- year- old D-Rob with a half year off was going to be sharp, so it’s no big deal.
Though Vivas is not the answer, his ABs are far more competitive than Peraza’s.
Totally. He always looks like he at least has a plan out there. Peraza constantly just looks LOST.
