    1. In the end, it’s a scoreless inning with a gazillion pitches thrown. Typical Yankee starting pitcher. They’re legit all GOOD pitchers, stuff-wise, they’re just all fucking headcases.

  4. Do the Yankees understand that you’re allowed to go with the pitch and you don’t need to try and put it in the bleachers? This is why Rowson needs to go. 23rd in BA in the MLB last 30 games.

    1. NO idea why he was moved to the #3 spot. That’s neither here nor there on the DP, I just don’t get the move one way or the other.

      I liked the Grisham/Judge/Belli/Stanton/Rice lineup.

  15. There’s seemingly no logic to how Boone construct his lineups. I bet he thinks he’s being terribly clever. Stanton has to hit in the first four.

  18. It’s important to remember, as bad as the Yankees are, the Red Sox suck, TOO, ya know?

    I’m sure the Yankees will blow this, but don’t think that the Red Sox are some great team. They just suck less than the Yankees.

    1. And as bad as the Yankees are the stupid multi wild card system makes it almost immaterial.

    2. Yeah, they legit could get swept here, and I think they still make the playoffs pretty easily. So the freaking out over these losses is, on the one hand, understandable because they’re so pathetic, but on the other hand, this isn’t THAT big of a deal.

  26. May fooled some people with two straight good starts, but he’s an outright dogshit pitcher, too. A team competing for the World Series was just, like, “Nah, no thank you” to him. That says SO MUCH.

    I assume he still gets the win, though, tonight. Maybe in a 6-5 Boston win.

  33. I don’t reel that’s a great job especially with Stanton running and McMahon up next. It was an acceptable job, better than a strikeout. Great? Nah.

  43. Rodon stepped up big time tonight. Grisham has truly helped save the team this year. But I’m not signing him to a long term deal because he’ll turn into Aaron Hicks.

    1. They really should tell him. “It’s okay, you can strike out on called strikes. Just DO NOT expand the zone. No one will complain if you strike out on called strikes, we promise you.”

  67. Boone is always a batter or two too late. Like that guy in high school who after getting embarrassed wakes up the next day says “I should have said…”

    1. But this wasn’t even a case of him being a better too late. It was “Do I want Weaver to pitch to a guy who was 5-7 with a home run against him, including a double just two games ago? Or do I want Tim Hill against Nate fucking Eaton?”

    1. So long as he doesn’t have to close, he’s really fucking good. That was sort of obvious, though, which is why it was absurd that they didn’t have Bednar closing right from the start. That was two losses right there, ya know?

    1. And the only bad inning he had was when they used him in a high leverage spot. It’s CRAZY how beta this dude is. And beta is obviously a made-up concept, but it works for him.

  98. I’m glad the last ball wasn’t hit to Volpe because you know what would have happenned. And yeah using Doval was assinine which for Boone is normal

  103. “So long as he doesn’t have to close, he’s really fucking good. That was sort of obvious, though, which is why it was absurd that they didn’t have Bednar closing right from the start. That was two losses right there, ya know?”

    If that’s true (it is), then how can anyone really think Boone costs this team only 5-6 wins over the course of an entire season? That’s two RIGHT THERE, nailed down. There were a TON of games just like that.
    Boone is not regular-manager bad, where you can guess that a manager’s not responsible for that much of the results. If we found that Boone had cost this team 20 games, that would seem eminently plausible. Do any of you not remember 20 games this year (just 20!) where it was obvious to everyone that Boone had lost the game? There were surely MORE than 20 of those. Let’s say it was 30, and we were wrong fully half the time. That’s fifteen games.
    And that’s counting only insane in-game moves. Add to that playing Volpe insistently when everyone knew it was ridiculous, and all the other “policies” like that.
    Change 15 losses to wins and where is this team? (And where are the psyches of the players full of of the experience of failure because Boone put them in that position?)
    It’s simply beyond insane to have this guy as the team’s manager.

    1. To be fair, Bednar has ALSO blown three saves with the Yankees. Only one of them was a LEGIT blown save, but he still blew three saves (one was when he gave up two runs in the seventh inning in his first inning as a Yankee, then he gave up the tying run after entering with the bases loaded and one out against the Astros, neither of which I would call traditional blown saves, but then the Rays game the other day), so maybe he would have blown that Texas game that Boone used Williams.

  104. The plan for now is for Caballero to start tonight against the RHP and phenom tomorrow against the LHP. Is a platoon in the works? Volpe’s number against LHPs are good 270/786but abysmal against RHPs 184/632. Caballlero’s BA is steady right/left but he has much more power against LHPs. 236/762 vs LHPs 230/620 vs RHPs.
    Whatever.
