  1. The Yankees let them into the playoffs in 2011. The Yankees lent them their stadium for this season.

    And for that, they just fuck them by being pathetic pieces of shit against the Blue Jays. Like, if the Blue Jays eked out three wins, fair enough, but the Rays haven’t been in any of these games past a couple of innings. Just pathetic.

    1. Look at that Seymour’s era. People recover from a stupid rocky 1st inning HR all the time. I don’t think the bullpen is a better bet than Seymour settling down.

  2. It’s just a recurring lack of fundamentals with this team. The pitchers know what they’re supposed to do, they just won’t do it. The runners get picked off of SECOND BASE with NO OUTS. They’re just a bunch of idiots.

    1. I wouldn’t mind him getting picked off first, just not second. Boone doesn’t want to mess with their aggressiveness but some guys you need to.

  3. Reiterating from yesterday:

    Boone will be heralded for righting the Yankee ship while avoiding ANY blame for the Yankees record from June 13 to August 4 going 18–27, the fifth-worst record in MLB during that span. The slump caused them to fall from first to third place in the AL East. If they didn’t suck so hard in that period they’re would be no wild card opponent worries.

  4. The best version of this team keeps Wells, Volpe, and McMahon all on the bench.
    Caballero starts at SS, Chisholm at 2B, and Boone returns to 3B for harm reduction’s sake, plus he might get hold of one in extra innings against Wakefield’s ghost.

  5. They’re playing a more balanced schedule but Cleveland with 87 or 88 wins get a bye but the Yankees with 93 or 94 wins don’t. Ridiculous. Do they do this in other sports?

    1. Boone cost them the division; well, Cashman did too, because he [Cashman] keeps Boone as manager.

    1. I’ve got nothing against the Mets, but I would kind of like to have Soto watching Judge in the playoffs from his couch.

    1. Yay! But stupid and unfair. If the season series had been 3-3 instead of 4-2 they would’ve used an entirely different tiebreaker.

    1. And Soto ended up with a terrific season after a dreadful start to 2025. And still the Boys of Shea collapsed.

    1. Boone would never, ever say that. Didn’t in 2023, and hasn’t said it after any other year’s playoff losses.

    1. Fuck, tough call since Wells DID hit a home run off of Crochet this season.

      I guess you gotta stick with Rice. I’d definitely go Rosario.

      Goldy
      Judge
      Belli
      Stanton
      Rosario
      Rice
      Grisham
      Jazz
      Volpe

    1. If you devig the game 1 numbers, the implied probabilities are NYY 55%/BOS 45%. That’s pretty close to Crochet neutralizing HFA for NY in the game. It’s a pretty significant boost to the line for Boston.

      I haven’t run my fairs yet but that sounds pretty close to me. Decent chance the line moves toward the Yanks by first pitch. Probably can get a plus-EV spot on the Townies if it gets around +120ish.

    2. If you take out a clear outlier period of adjustment to a new grip, I bet Fried has been BETTER than Crotchet this year.
