  1. A little touch of reality from last night, without those 3 walks in front of Judge we lose. A great win, but if he have to depend on Cub errors, Manfred Man and multiple walks to score this team ain’t going far.

    1. And the pitch he had to hit should’ve gone 400+ feet, not 369. Judge is in a real weird place right now, and one HR doesn’t prove much.

  2. FUCKING COLE, AFTER RETIRING 9 STRAIGHT HE IBBs DEVER WITH NO ON AND NO OUT, A MOVE EVEN MORE CHICKEN SHIT STUPID THAN VOLPES BUNT YESTERDAY. THE STUPIDEST BASEBALL TEAM IN HISTORY.
    THEN COLE TOTALLY FUCKING CHOKED.

    Devers was hitting 200 with No Home Runs this month.

  3. The Devers intentional walk was one of the most embarrassing moves I’ve ever seen. If that was Boone’s call, it’s almost a fireable offense.

    For Cole to then give up a hit to Devers later with the bases loaded? Cole has pitched worse games, but this was the most embarrassing game of his career.

    1. It’s obviously more embarrassing if that was Cole’s decision, but if it wasn’t, holy shit, right? Just one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen from a Yankees team.

    1. Getting owned by Boston is annoying, but holy shit, dude, it’s not that big of a deal! Don’t start fucking intentionally walking dudes like a complete simp! Cole showed his whole ass today. Just so, so pathetic.

  4. If Cole had just gotten his ass kicked, it wouldn’t have even been a big deal. He gets his ass kicked sometimes.

    Him being such a wimp, though, made this into such a big deal. I really can’t believe that he did something this absurd.

    1. I guess if you think Waldo can handle first base, you try Waldo a little more there. The big problem, of course, is that Waldo can’t hit lefties, and Rizzo is, well, you know, a lefty. So that ruins any platoon advantage.

      Otherwise, it wasn’t like Ben Rice was doing anything, ya know? And Rice was ALSO a lefty. Honestly, I still think just letting Wells play some first base is the play. Narvaez up for Waldo, start playing Wells at first whenever Trevino starts a game.

  5. Meredith “Aaron what were Assad, Taillon, Singer, Lugo, Ragans, Criswell, Fitts and Bello doing? Eight starters in a row pretty much shut the Yankees down. The team pres never mentions it.
    Ebbs and flows of the season!

  6. Catcher Austin Wells said he was “caught off guard” by the intentional walk, and said he was not aware of, or involved in, these previously discussed plans to IBB Devers.

    Aaron Boone said it’s fair to say they were “overthinking the situation.”

    1. Yeah he’s hedging. Why were they even discussing it in the first place?Devers was having a miserable month, not that it matters. Why is the press giving Wells the 3rd degree. He’s got nothing to do with it.

  7. It also makes it seem like Cole hit Devers on purpose, right? What a punk he came out looking like today. You just won the Cy Young LAST FUCKING YEAR, dude! You’re a Hall of Fame pitcher and you’re being THIS weak-minded? Its’s so, so disappointing.

  8. Cole “we had discussed previously, they were discussing in the tunnel between Cole and Blake and Aaron.”
    WHY WERE THEY EVEN HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS? Ultimately it’s on Boone. Cole says ultimately he ‘bought into the plan.’
    Why is walking Devers with no one on ‘proactive?’
    Sounds like it’s 90/95% on our IDIOT MANAGER and Cole is covering for him.

  9. Never in history had the Yankees walked a hitter with no one one that early in the game and only the third time in history the Yankees had ever walked a hitter with no one on.

    1. Yep, Cole has to wear this shit like a crown of poop the rest of his career.

      I mean, whatever, it probably won’t end up being THAT lasting of a story, especially since Boston probably isn’t even making the playoffs, but FUCK, dude, this was bad.

  10. It was 95% Boone. Talkin Yanks “ Gerrit Cole said he spoke with coaches in the tunnel before the fourth inning and they agreed to intentionally walk Rafael Devers even if he got the first out

    Cole says he even looked into the dugout before doing it and “stuck with the plan”

  11. Rafael Devers, via the Red Sox’s translator, on Cole’s decision to intentionally walk him:

    “He caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect that from a future Hall of Famer and, to say it one way, I feel like he panicked a little bit.”
