What an embarrassing lineup.
Let’s see if Gil can continue his turnaround.
Gil is so talented, and yet, man, the focus just needs so much more work STILL. But, that being said, I certainly can’t complain too much about a 1-2-3 first with two Ks.
No way I’m trading the Martian for Skubal.
The Martian is off limits. Judging strictly by the numbers Spence is expendable. By now he should’ve broken out.
That’s a leadoff hitter.
JJ setting the tone.
Boone cleverly setting up the walk for Judge by batting this guy 4th. Can’t underestimate his managing wiles.
Boone manages while unconscious.
Jones and Davis living up to expectations.
With JD Davis in the 4 spot they will have to pitch to Judge. JD before that AB 077/200/154.
It’s hard to believe Cash couldn’t find better RH depth than Jones and Davis.
Their lefthanders are better RH depth.
With this lineup probably Volpe, who’s been hot since the ASB, or Gleyber should hit 4.
JD Davis 2024 vs LHP 209/272/364. Dynamic.
He’s due.
Just keep it off the ground, DJ.
DJLM with hits in CONSECUTIVE GAMES?
Just who you want up with two guys on.
He’s got protection, though. (And he is the guy you want protected.)(Or maybe we need the protection – from lineups like this.)
Not too impressed with Cash’s J Boys
4 ABs, 5 outs. Pretty much right on target.
Cashman is a genius at discovering talent
Oh, for crying out loud, Davis!
Why does this team have to have so many totally horrible players? And why does Boone need to play them? And why does he have to bat after Judge?
Mets are just totally disrespecting Boone for batting this chump 4th.
Maybe score some fucking runs for this guy already?
Bunting in front of the 89 hitters??
Why are you bunting in front of Narvaez?!
Narvaez looked so overmatched. Maybe Rice should catch. Trevino being hurt is strictly on the idiot.
DJ swung at ball four, but with Jones on deck, probably the right call.
Yankees 3 hits and 4 walks. Take an offensively challenged team and then mix in Jones, Davis and Narvaez and you’ve got a Bizarro Juggernaut.
Crazy cause they need, what, like 4 hittes to have a 100 OPS besides Judge and Soto and they’d score 5 runs a game. And that’s asking 4 too many.
But hey at least it’s almost 1 good turn through the rotation. (Jinx)
Much appreciated Jinx.
Some bad luck, don’t let it mess with your focus, Gil!
That was a painful at-bat. Gil threw some terrible pitches ahead 1-2 in the count.
Torrens could DH for this team. Thats how bad this team is and how bad Boone and Cashman are.
A Yankee-esque result for the ‘Mazins.
Great job by Gil by mostly getting out of trouble he caused.
Why would Soto want to return to this team where Hal and Cash will be forever searching the scrap heap as long as attendance and YES ratings are good. Third Wild Card a rousing success.
Must suck to pitch for this team.
Cashman is a saboteur.
He’s not smart enough.
There a certain exquisite mathematical beauty to the way that Boone is using Jones and Davis to surround Soto and Judge.
BYW if I’m in charge no way does Jones get the number 14. That’s a number for players.
I don’t mind it, it’s not like he’ll be keeping it long.
Pinella, Skowron, Granderson and Gene Woodling. In all fairness JD Drew also.
Cashman and Boone joint avatars of ineptitude.
RAB Jones and J.D. Davis are a combined 0-6 with 4 K and a GIDP. They’ve taken 14 swings and whiffed 9 times. These are the players the Yankees choose to bat around Juan Soto and Aaron Judge.
14 swings, 9 misses!
Of course Tonkin has a bad game when they need him to not have a bad game.
If the Yankees were losing, Tonkin would be lights out.
Tonkin was due. Keep signing garbage eventually you’re going to stink.
All 8 of the mutts are better than all but 3 or 4 of the Yankees today. Position by position they win every battle except Right and Center. Same with Boston.
Can’t really blame anyone but Cash and Boone for building this team and playing these guys.
Too high a hill for this lineup. Cashman should have been gone 7 years ago when I wanted him gone, and we would have never been stuck with Boone then.
You didn’t need much more intelligence than a rock to at least bat Volpe or Gleyber 4th over Davis.
That was unexpected
DJ one AB with no one on single, two ABs with RISP 0/2.
Yep, extremely annoying.
Wells having the count 3-1 and not getting a bit or a walk was also annoying.
TRF and his 5 era just who you want to see.
Trent Grisham hitting for Jahmai Jones, NY Yankees 2024.
The other day Boston walked Ohtani to get to Will Smith who was hitting 323-not the Yankees.
Now Judge definitely won’t bat.
Who do you go to Waldo or Rice? Waldo hitting 300 the last month. I’d go Waldo.
Why isn’t Grisham on 3rd. It didn’t matter but Grisham should’ve tagged up. Typical Yankee/Boone lack of fundamentals.
Some shitty, shitty baserunning. Not that it ended up mattering.
Volpe with 2 hits with no one on, and then a weak ground ball with RISP.
So fucking frustrating.
DJ hit the ball hard. Rice hit it very hard.
RAB In three games against the Mets this season, Aaron Judge has reached base 11 times in 12 plate appearances. He has scored two runs, both on his own home run.
I thought it was the mutts bullpen that was struggl8ng.
Seriously! To this guy?
Nice comeback. As for momentum, I don’t believe in it in baseball.
After making out with the tying run on DJ with a 2b error.
glue factory
Letting Grisham hit against the LHP? RHBs vs Diekman 915, LHBs 589.
best manager in the game
I’d just like to say, for the record: fuck the Mets.
Severino had it right the Yankees only have 2 good hitters. Yankees 2/19 with runners on base 1/9 RISP.
One of the writers tried to bait Boone on Davis asking what he thought of Davis’s at bats. What did Boone think of Mendoza walking Judge with Davis up next. Boone kind of double talked adding the middle of the lineup will be settled soon.
With Cortes, Stroman and Rodon going in Boston we could easily be only 1 0r 2 in front by Sunday night. This is a bad team now.
By the end of July, 4 or 5 behind the O’s.
What would you want for Spencer Jones?
Mutts pitching another lefty tomorrow. What will Boone do?
Something stupid, no doubt.
Kirschner: Boone on Davis pre game
“Yeah. We went through that stretch of 10 days where we were seeing all lefties and then we hadn’t seen any for a while. It’s a reason we brought him in here. With the illness and getting back healthy now and a few days of work here, hopefully he’s ready to roll and give us a little spark.”
On why he’s batting 4th
“You’re able to replicate things so much better with the things we have available to us. He went on the IL for the illness so there’s only so much you can do. … Hopefully he could be a little bit of a presence in the middle for us.”
Sounds like Professor Irwin Corey
the other options are bad, too, of course, but holy shit, what an answer.
Seriously, dude, if a guy can ONLY PLAY against lefties, he should not be leading off or batting cleanup.
No consecutive wins, the new motto
