Bryce Miller should be able to handle them pretty easily.
Who’s 3 and 4 in the post?
Mets scored 10 runs yesterday, and they scored10 today. Yankees scored 11 runs yesterday. O/U Yankees combined scoring today and tomorrow, 7.5.
Starters Martian faced 2024-Skubal, Singer, Lugo, Criswell, Bello, Crawford, Woo and Miller. Pretty, pretty tough average.
That is fucking CRAZY, right?
Stanton could’ve stolen that base.
Phenom with a DP.
phenom’s back.
Chisholm is who he has been.
phenom’s back
Letting the leadoff hitter on every inning seems like it is unlikely to pay off in the end.
Nestor told me to STFU.
Who didn’t see this coming? Eleven runs a day ago, 2-hits today through 6-innings.
I mean, momentum is only as good the next night’s pitcher, right? And Miller’s a very good pitcher.
Make it 2-hits through 7-innings. Phenom pouting?
Don’t think putting the leadoff runner on will work out for Kahnle as much as it did for Nestor.
Boone going to Clay Holmes in a fireman role is fucking HILARIOUS.
mlb has an umpire problem.
Holmes is obviously a talented pitcher, but how can you even include him on the playoff roster at this point?
Over Leiter or Mayza? I wonder if they have plans for Poteet or Trivino or Effross or Burdi or Beeter all of whom are rehabbing.
How fucking STUPID is Boone?!
High leverage Clay the man for the heart of the lineup.
It’s just so fucking stupid. There’s Hamilton, there’s Cousins, there’s even Weaver for two innings if need be. This is just so fucking stupid.
He’s bringing in Weaver NOW?! Seriously, is Boone just the dumbest human imaginable?!
This is ALL on the f’ing pathetic offense, 2-hits i 8-innings.
It’s GREATLY on the pathetic offense, no doubt, but, again, how can you stick with Holmes here? They didn’t even use any of the high leverage guys last night! There is NO excuse for this!
Holmes somehow gets through the seventh without blowing the lead. Just be happy about that! Why would you moronically keep pushing the issue? I mean, HE’S STILL BEING ALLOWED TO BLOW SAVES!! WHY? WHY? Why is Boone THIS stupid?!
Yep. But this is Boone, so what else would one expect? Stupid managing since 2018.
He was removed as the closer for blowing saves, so they now continue to let him blow saves ANYWAYS!
He’s blown two saves SINCE being removed as closer! Think about that! Think about just HOW stupid Boone is.
Oh wow, Luke Weaver strikes two guys out, huh, so weird. Who could have predicted he would do better than Holmes? It’s a mystery for the ages!
The Yankees have 7-8-9 in the Top of the 10th, while the Mariners have 2-3-4 against, I presume, Ian Hamilton.
Not great odds!
But boy, it sure is good to see how smart Boone was for waiting until Holmes blew the save before going to Holmes. That was some smrt baseball!
345 0/10 with 8 Ks
Not a good night for the middle of the order!
Rizzo! I don’t get pinch-running for him. Waldo isn’t nearly the defender Rizzo is at first.
Oh my fucking god, Volpe, you can’t even fucking BUNT now!?
Horses can fly! Rizzo, he does it again.
How can Volpe be such a bad bunter? With his speed it should be a weapon and he should’ve perfected it years ago.
He OBVIOUSLY should be good at bunting. It’s absurdly pathetic that he isn’t.
Oh gee, sure would have been nice if that flyball had followed a SUCCESSFUL bunt. I mean, holy shit, how is Volpe so bad that he can’t even BUNT anymore?!
Volpe sulking after being sat down last night?
Man, just so much incompetence on this team. Boone really runs a tight ship.
I even like who the Yankees have going here, but come on, the 2-3-4 hitters and all they need is a single hit. Turner alone, ya know? It ain’t going to go well.
Hamilton is definitely the right guy here. It still won’t work, though.
Just had the wrong hitters up and they had the right hitters. I don’t even blame Hamilton, honestly.
HOLY SHIT, DID THE YANKEES TEACH THEM HOW TO RUN BASES?!!?
I’d seriously almost walk Turner here.
I’ve seen a lot of stupidity lately and not JUST from the Yankees.
Volpe bunt, Cole IBB, Robles trying to steal home and this.
Yay, win. Thanks, Julio. Posada with another proud graduate of TJPSOB.
Can you even IMAGINE what we would be thinking if this happened to the Yankees? Poor fucking Seattle fans.
the two postseason games they’ll last are going to be LIT.
If they win the division, they’ll last THREE games!
The bad news Boone will return. The good news Soto might.
I really don’t see how Soto won’t return. The Yankees will match the highest offer, and I think he just wants to play for a contender who will pay him the most money. That’s the Yankees.
Meredith asked Judge why this group is special. Great question.
Judge. Soto. Wells. Martian (to an extent). Gil. Schmidt. Cole (when he’s not acting like a headcase). Weaver. There’s a lot to like about this team.
There’s just a lot to not like, too.
Rizzo getting legit two hits might be meaningful. Probably not, but might.

Another moron who thought it made sense to pitch hurt, and suck while doing so.
Weaver as the fireman, Hamilton as the “traditional” closer makes a lot of sense in the playoffs.
Holmes as mop-up guy, of course.
How much money did Holmes lose himself with all of these blown saves?
Julio should have been called out anyway for going as far away from 3rd base as he did, but thankfully they didn’t have to go that route. And thankfully it wasn’t Trevino catching.
It’s going to suck watching Boone blow two postseason games (and losing the series) by bringing in Holmes. Because, you know, that’s his lane.
Brian, a 4:10 PM start today.
