Wow, Wells starting in a day game after a night game. Impressive.
And Waldo playing first base! Fascinating. You know, DJ had two other offers on the table for free agency in 2021 for $20 million a year. Atlanta for three years, and Toronto for four years. So the Yankees beat the $80 million offer by giving him $90 million, but over six years to allow them to get under the luxury tax cap that year. In other words, they really gave him a four-year/$90 million contract, with two years tacked on to avoid the luxury tax. So they could totally just cut DJ, and the deal would still be reasonable. So if Berti is ready, and Waldo can play first, they should just do that.
Of course, the lineup doesn’t really matter much when Will Warren is going to give up nine runs today.
Perfect time for a bullpen day. Bring someone up, Mayza and whoever they bring up for 4 or 5. Add to roster on Sunday.
Remember when Warren almost won the 5th spot out of ST. That version of Warren would be nice today.
Warren got thru one unscathed. Gibson also.
Will tomorrow finally be the day we’re done with Dugie?!
He can go groundout every at bat in Miami next season.
Magic Eightball says no
Somebody needs to be warming
You could pull him now.
I get that he’s done for the season after this start, but it still seems like malpractice to just keep on throwing him out there for automatic losses each time.
Warren is brutal. Hopefully this is a good learning experience and not the end.
I don’t see anything to build on. Remember he had a 6+ era in the minors. In any case he should’ve been sent down after the last disaster.
As I said!! A guy with a 10 era Boone gives the same leash he gives Cortes or Stroman. Boone has ZERO urgency.
HE SHOULDVE NEVER GOTTEN THIS START. It’s not his confidence Paul, he sucks. Warren era now OVER 10, only Brooks Kriske was worse.
I think young starters with interesting stuff can always work on it and get better, so I’m not writing him off for next year, but yes, this should have just been a bullpen game.
I’m writing him off but I wouldnt release him. Show me something. Poteet pitched 3 yeasterday, he could’ve done that here today. Likewise Schmidt. Or they could’ve brought up Marinaccio and used him and Mayza for 4 or 5.
Having the Martian batting fifth or sixth so that Jazz can bat seventh is going to open this lineup up so much. And heck, Rizzo could be a heck of a #8 hitter!
I’m betting against that.
Grisham is not really a major league hitter. Verdugo just cemented the job for the next month.
Leiter’s been bad. Yankees been bad. True Yankees are 19-11 but since Phillies they sucked against bad teams. Please mention that Kay.
Martian 2/4 with a home run
Yankees may be the highest scoring team in baseball but that stat is misleading. They disappear way too many games. Fifteen runs against Rockies by scoring 2,3 10.
“In other words, they really gave him a four-year/$90 million contract, with two years tacked on to avoid the luxury tax.”
But contracts are always like that – and while the front office knows it’s doing that when they sign the contract, they constitutionally incapable of remembering that that’s what they were thinking when those last few bonus years roll around.
A front office that DID remember that would have an enormous advantage over every other team. But I doubt we’ll ever see it.
You don’t have to let Grisham hit here!
Oh, wow, he actually pinch hit for a change!
Wow.
I simply cannot believe that. I know they’re not tied, but still – that happened?
Stanton, pitch hitting?
Yankees still undefeated in the CT category
A clutch hit?
Please, please, let that first pitch groundout to second son of a bitch be on the bench come tomorrow.
And then Verdugo fighting for his job.. …….. grounds out to 2b.
There could be no other result than a first pitch groundout to second. It is the Dugie way.
If Leiter did his job
Waldo, what the fuck?! How fucking stupid are you?!
My goodness, was that dumb. But it fits with this team.
We might see Waldo sent down when Berti is ready.
It used to be that umpires knew when to stay in the background.
What an asshole, even if it was a tiny, slight, half-second violation.
As they noted, they take it out of the ump’s discretion by giving them a watch that buzzes when the time runs out. So it wasn’t the ump’s call.
That was fucking bizarre. Why did that take so long?
Boo.
I hate everybody.
The umps suck, the Cardinals suck.
That was a strike, but’s seldom called.
But inconsistency is so wonderful, why actually make the calls right?
And on ball four, too. Dang, Wells. Don’t worry, I still love you.
So many ways they could have won this game.
The manager is an anchor, a lodestone, an albatross.
True, but Waldo could also not be a moron, and Wells and Leiter could have not given away a run.
But yes, not going with a bullpen game, and then having a bullpen game anyways, but only after your starter gave up 4 runs was definitely a very poor decision.
Absolutely perfect. Of course the Yankees would get the tying run to second and the winning run on. Reminds me of the Mets game when a guy who was really bad struck out Judge in the 9th. What’s our numbers in those situations?
Thanks Boone, Warren and Leiter.
Rizzo likely on the way after hitting under 200 in AA. Why no AAA?
The Yankees went 14-12 in August and didn’t capitalize on what was, on paper, a favorable schedule.
This is who the team is, two good hitters short of a real MLB line-up. Too much dross with LaMahieu, Verdugo, Trevino, Gleyber (675 OPS), and Volpe.

I see Will Warren day went well. Ad this is why afternoon baseball is so good, you get to enjoy the rest of the day instead of waiting into the night for the loss.
Yankees tied for 12 in comeback wins.
Better than I’d have guessed.
How many were before June 1?
15-16 in 1 run games, 4-8 in xtras.
And early in the season I think they win their first 6 one run games so they’re 9-16 since.
Would any other manager have let Warren get 5 starts?
Will Warren is the 1st pitcher in Yankees history to allow at least 24 runs and 31 hits in their first 5 career games
Why would Cashman keep Warren on the MLB roster?
Magical thinking
Warren and Rice down, Rizzo up. Three more spots to fill.
Gibson 15 runs allowed last 3 starts, 1 this afternoon. But the Yankees lead the majors in runs scored.
How much of that is attributable to March, April and May? When they were good. Now, they are a run-of-the-mill .500 team since June.
Judge hasn’t hit a HR since Sunday. WWWJW.
Susan what was xxxxxx* doing today that made him so tough.
*Gibson
Ian Hamilton scratched last night with back spasms.
The possible reason they haven’t called Dominguez up yet may drive Bombers fans crazy. Per MLB reporter Bryan Hoch, they could be trying to turn Dominguez into an extra draft pick.
“Jasson Dominguez will retain his rookie status for 2025 provided he does not exceed 130 career at-bats (he has 35 right now),” Hoch explained on X. “Keeping his rookie status for ’25 allows the Yankees to receive a draft pick after the first round in 2026 if Dominguez wins the 2025 AL Rookie of the Year Award.”
The Yankees’ front-office decision-making is nonsensical. They accumulate superstars in Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and Gerrit Cole, and then bring in Verdugo, who’s been steadily declining since 2020. They plug holes with bargains like out-of-position Jazz Chisholm Jr.
https://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/the_yankees_handling_of_jasson_dominguez_makes_no_sense/s1_13132_40821826
Once Dominguez suffered his setback injury it was obvious they were going to hold him back to maintain his rookie eligibility.
There is no reason to have Verdugo on the team with the Martian heathy (given his play).
Rumfield could also outperform Rizzo / Rice / DJ and he’s actually had a milb career of playing at first.
What are they doing?
I really want the useless vets off the team in favor of baby bombers ASAP. Certainly for the postseason.
Not a team serous about winning WS. Just about winning enough to make money.
O’s lose. Yankees retain the excuse us AL East lead.
It really was stupid to have allowed 4o men beginning September 1, then reducing it to 28 men. Should have been 30-32.
It was a “solution” to a problem no one really gave a fuck about. It was so silly. Especially since their “relievers must pitch to three batters” rule cut down the major complaint people had, which was that teams would just throw tons of relievers at you with a stacked bullpen full of call-ups.
