It would be nice if they would stop playing down to their opponents’ level.
One out, man on 3rd, Judge RISP fail as he K’s.
Don’t need no productive outs from Soto.
RISP 0/3 to start the game
Yeah, this is an awfully shitty start to the game. Three outs with a runner on second, and then a leadoff homer to the other team. Just great.
How fitting.
Judge last night, bases loaded 0 outs, DP, today man on 3rd 1 out, a K. And the usual from Stanton,
Haven’t there been a lot of first inning fails from Soto and Judge men in scoring position?
I mean, Boone and Cashman, they lie right to the fans faces. LeMahieu should have been DFA, yet Boone has the nerve to say what he said about LeMahieu.
Boone: “You want to let things really declare themselves to where you’re making sound decisions moving forward.”
Duh! It has already been declared, bozo.
I guess we haven’t had a total Rodon first inning shit show in a while. And this is certainly a shit show. He’s allowed a home run, a walk, a wild pitch, and a balk all in one inning, and there’s still no outs!
Get rid of the fucking pitch coms. I’m all for technology and change but pitch coms are a pain in the butt.
Carlos Rodon reason #5 the Yankees can’t win a championship.
Screw Rodon. Screw Cashman. Screw Boone.
Will they tail-between-the-legs the rest of this game?
dj just passed stephen drew to take sole possession of the 9th worst yankee season with -1.5 war.
horace clark’s record of -2.4 seems safe but he could still crack the top 3 with enough at bats.
2. ruben rivera 1997 -2.1
3. gene michael 1968 -2.0
Wait until he declares himself.
Solid pitching. Powerful hitting. Sound fundamentals.
RAB “ Rodón’s loser energy has been off the charts since Day 1.”
That really IS it. The guy has so much talent, even with his injury, and yet he just doesn’t seem to give a shit. He’s such a loser.
If we lose this we ‘ll be 12-10 on the easy portion of the schedule. Championship caliber.
It seems like 2/3 games this team just doesn’t hit, often against bad pitchers. Like against the Rockies where they score 2, 3, 10. Five runs a game not bad.
Clarke Schmidt 3ip 1r 3h 5k Scranton.
It’ll be great to have him replace Warren.
DJ declared himself Boone you fucking moron. DJ’s DP rare about twice Judge’s.
I’ve been thinking about a new tactic that could help the Yankees. I call it the Intentional Strikeout (IK). With men on base and less than two outs and your groundball machine due up, the manager raises three fingers and the batter is called out. The pitcher gets credit for a strikeout and the next batter gets to bat.
“Let’s see what Rodon does here.”
I … bet he’s gonna throw a real shitty pitch, Flash.
Flash it does not take a good pitch to get DJ to hit a weak ground ball.
Gore last 28 days 912 OPS against. Corbin and Gore just happened to have their best games against the Yankees.
Gore has had some great games this season, and clearly has a lot of talent. I don’t mind him so much. It was Corbin that was just batshit insane to get dominated by him. That was just truly loser shit.
Corbin and a half dozen others. Who was it on Detroit that Paul said is not pitching like his era. The first two games against MLB worst Rockies they scored two and three. You score 2,3, 10, the average is 5 but 2/3 games you’re scoring 3 or fewer that usually won’t get it done.
Oh, totally, they’ve been pathetic when they play down to their opponent’s level recently. Gore, though, I think is at least a legit young talent. Those other guys are definitely much worse examples.
When Soto goes into mini-slumps, it really tanks the entire team.
It’s not an inning if the Yankees aren’t failing to get in a runner in scoring position. Rizzo can’t get here soon enough.
A weak fly ball for a change.
Locked in after giving up 5?
Ferrer with an era just under 5 dominates us. A good team would be looking to beat up on this reliever.
This is a real waste of Cousins.
The exact same situation two nights in a row.
The No Show Yankees.
Rodon was not good but this is on the offense. Two runs two nights in a row against these guys? There are just too many holes in this lineup for them to have any kind of sustained success.
Absolutely. Just a weak sauce line-up with LeMahieu, Volpe, Verdugo, Gleyber.
Rizzo 0-2, 2 K’s.
A little late but I’m here to defend Horace Clarke who as far as I can see never had a WAR as bad as DJLM this year.
Horace Clarke was the leadoff hitter the first game I ever listened to. He hit a triple. Making him – in my 8-year-old brain – the best hitter ever. Soon enough I fell in love with Bobby Murcer. Who is still in my top 5 favorite Yankees of the last 53 years.
My researcher just spit out an entirely different list! No Drew, Rivera, Clarke. WTF
Safe to say that things are not looking good for DJ either way.

1-21 RISP last 2 days. 9-9 against Tigers, White Sox, Rockies, Texas, Halos and Nats.
They ain’t hitting HRs, they ain’t scoring. How many HRs did the Cubs need to overcome a 10-3 deficit? Just 1.
Warren listed as the starter Saturday. Some times a bullpen game just seems like the way to go.
Katie Sharp “ Yankees are now 5-21 (.192) when trailing at the end of the first inning this season.
That’s tied with Pirates for the 3rd-worst record in MLB (ahead of only the Blue Jays and White Sox).”
Some good news, it’s still possible for the White Sox to lose 130 games
Only if the Yankees don’t play them again.
