At least this will be the last time the Red Sox sweep them this season…in the regular season, at least.
Oh my god, swing the fucking bat, Grisham!
This is how dumb the Yankee offense approach is. Giolito got them to swing a lot early at bad pitches, so now their plan is to just take strikes?!
Okay, Judge fixed that.
Judge now all alone at #4 on the Yankees HR list.
Giolito clearly trying to out-think the Yankees, and luckily Judge and then Rice (with the single) countered well.
Judge on fire would be nice.
Stanton, remember when you stopped swinging at bad pitches and were suddenly awesome?
That would have been a lot nicer in that at-bat had you done that. Instead, you swung at two balls, and then forced yourself into a situation where you had to take strike three.
STOP EXPANDING THE ZONE LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT!
Gianni swinging at the one that was too low and taking the low stroke.
Okay, time for Gil to throw a gazillion first inning pitches!
joke’s on you
From wiki: “Raleigh is widely regarded as one of MLB’s elite power threats, all-around catchers, and switch hitters.”
Yes indeed, he’s widely regarded as a switch hitter. However! I make no definitive claims.
Yes, Raleigh is widely regarded as a switch hitter. (cf. Jasson Dominguez).
what was that about, Jazz
Jazz isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
Fucking Jazz is so full of himself. You do not make the first out at third! He was barely safe at second.
I don’t think he’s even stupid. He’s just so full of himself.
He 100% wants that 30/30.
Et tu, Caballero?
To be fair, that was mostly on Rice being a shitty first baseman.
Damn, they’re making some solid fucking contact and it’s all for naught.
I’m surprised Judge swung at all, as Giolito wasn’t coming CLOSE to giving him anything to hit.
Stanton RBI Probability 36%? Seriously?
I think Stanton needs some days off.
I don’t think so. It’s just him making bad decisions. He still crushed the ball on his one hit last night.
What’s going on with the Rice fly ball? I’m only checking GD
He flew out, but it was ruled catcher’s interference.
thanks
Walking the #9 hitter is so peak Yankee starter.
I really like Apple cutting the game screen to 1/3 for the interview.
Look at Jazz’s swinging for the right field seats on the 3-1 outside pitch
A DH-only with a .618 OPS seems like a non-optimal use of team resources.
THAT was a nice play Jazz.
The Yankees love to swing at ball four.
My kingdom for some fucking plate discipline!
Unless the Yankees have a 6 run lead, at least, they’re not winning.
Trent before tonight last 14 days 179/715, last 7 111/311.
Judge, once he saw that you were going to swing at that pitch, he threw the next one even HIGHER.
STOP EXPANDING THE ZONE, YOU FUCKING FOOLS!
Javier Baez fouls a ball off his forehead. Ouch.

September 2017 head to head stats meaningful
Why does every Yankee starter just have to eventually collapse and lose the plate?
Fucking nonsense.
I think 90% of Hamilton’s walks have come against the Yankees. He’s a TERRIBLE hitter, and yet they keep fucking walking him.
Can you even IMAGINE walking the first two batters of the inning with a 2-0 lead in the fifth?
Gil just gets ahead, and promptly throws pitches nowhere NEAR the strike zone. The pitching coach comes out, and then he throws the next pitch WAY out of the strike zone for ball four. It’s just so fucking maddening.
It’s like Yankee pitchers pitch to the worse hitters more carefully than to the best. Never make them hit it. Even Hamilton.
He wasn’t even CLOSE on Hamilton. He might have gotten a swing and miss had he gotten CLOSE, but he couldn’t even do that. Not even after the pitching coach came out and told him what he HAD to do. He just couldn’t do it.
I just can’t. I can’t watch this shit. This is insane.
And now a balk like a fucking idiot. The Yankee starter “Not be a fucking moron” challenge. None of them can pass it except for Fried.
Look at those pitches to Raffeala!!! How does a guy who can throw pitches like that ALSO throw all of those fucking STUPID pitches, too?!
Does it really matter if we lose the WC Series, probably a sweep, at home or Fenway.
Brian, he showed heart
He did. But that’s the thing, right? Gil, Warren, Schlittler, Rodon, and sometimes Schmidt. They all have this amazing talent, and when they buckle down, they can often get even the best hitters out.
So it just makes it that much more maddening when they pitch like idiots. And they ALL pitch like idiots a lot.
For a couple of starts there, Schlittler wasn’t, and then he, well, you know, did.
Fried is the only one who pitches intelligently, and he just couldn’t adjust to his new grip for a month.
Cole is a bit of an enigma, in that he also pitches stupidly a lot, but he tends to come through in the big game (unless you need someone to cover first base, of course).
I mean I was kind of kidding, you’re absolutely right
Lmao MLB is flagging this as a no-hitter. Technically correct, and yet
Typical Yankee game, score early, then disappear.
Tong lashed. Oof! Two-thirds of an inning and done.
Dwight Gooden is never going to lose the crown for shittiest official no-hitter ever.
Hell with reinstating Pete Rose as HOF eligible, they should reinstate Andy Hawkins’s no-hitter.
Justin Wilson 2.45 era. Yankee bullpen the last month 5+ era.
That was a veteran take except it was astrike.
Walking the leadoff hitter again. This is just a masterclass in self-defeatism.
If they’re not playing shitty defense, they’re not playing defense at all.
Crisp Yankee D.
What are you doing with these balls, Gil?!
Jazz swinging for the fences but the only thing going into the seats was his throw.
Jazz trying to be the star, out stealing third with no outs.
He just throws so many fucking pitches. Especially when he was actually ECONOMICAL at first!
Do you pinch hit Goldy for Caballero?
Not now.
This game Gianni and Boone combined to let Boston get away with a catcher interference, Jazz out stealing third no out, Cab throwing error, Jazz throwing error.
Maybe this Caballero guy should play more?
Caballero
should’ve been out three times and still scored. I’m buying lottery tickets tonight.
Maybe Trent needs some time off. Is the Martian still alive?
Which bullpen smurfs will blow this one?
Kind of miss Volpe’s running game.
there goes the no hitter
And it begins.
Give up a home run to Nate Eaton.
Then a walk.
They’re all terrible, just a matter of who’s the least terrible.
Boston + 950. I’m down. Have they not seen this pen.
This bullpen, they can’t help themselves. Their motto: Must allow runs.
They should’ve given Duran the take sign.
Stop gloating Jazz. Fucking premature celebration.
Skubal left the game in the 4th, Hinch and the trainer went with him.
Devin not Weaver?
How can they ALL be so dumb?
Yankee pen giving new meaning to pick your poison.
Devin has trouble throwing strikes OTOH when he does they hit it hard.
Some throw. I don’t think Waldo makes that play.
Absolutely agreed. We can argue with the hitting and the way too much money he’s making, but holy shit, that guy can field well.
Too many of those Aaron.
Waaaaaay too many.
I mean, he hit a home run tonight, so I can’t give him TOO much grief, but it’s still not good.
Acceptable
Bednar didn’t get the memo about how Yankee pitchers have to fuck around all inning.
Katie S Luis Gil has a 0.99 career ERA in 5 starts vs Red Sox.
That’s the lowest ERA by any Yankee in their first 5 starts vs Red Sox in franchise history.
Tonight is the first time that Yankees pitchers allowed 2 Hits or fewer and had 10+ K in a game vs Red Sox since September 26, 2009.
Yankees undefeated since Charlie Kirk got merked
It’s amazing that Sarah Langs is still doing baseball. bless her
