  1. PA:
    “Clayton Beeter 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K — nasty with fastball/slider combo; don’t know if the Yankees would actually be bold enough to try Beeter out at this point, but you never know”

  2. The angels won the 2002 WS by bringing up a kid late in September, remember that Yankee fans?
    Krod threw 5 innings in September and and then won 5 post season games (2 against the Yankees) throwing 18.2 innings with 28 Ks.

    PS he never won another post season game going 0-3 with 3 saves in 18 innings from 2004-2011.

    1. 437 saves and a career era+ of 148, 189 with Halos. Rays did the same thing with David Price in 2008.

  3. Ohtani’s game last night…

    How long ago did Judge have his third-to-last home run? More home runs in one night than Judge has had in the better part of a month. Judge probably won’t even lead the majors, let alone set a record. What happened?

    1. No one is feeding him [Judge] pitches as the Marlins were on Thursday, culminating in them allowing a position player to pitch to Ohtani.

    2. No one was feeding him pitches before he stopped hitting HRs, either.
      And it’s not like they’re not pitching to him – look at all the strikeouts.

    3. My point is that the Marlins were feeding Ohtani pitches all game Thursday, ending in them allowing a position player to pitch to him [Ohtani]. No team does that to Judge, even when they are playing teams out of it, they often piss around with Judge. Judge 20 IBB, Ohtani 10 IBB 2024.

      Judge continues to suffer from bad called strikes below the zone, more than any player. And this has been a constant since 2017. From June 29, 2022: … 433 outside of the zone since his historic rookie season in 2017 are also the most in the majors over that span, according to the YES Network. https://www.audacy.com/wfan/sports/yankees/yankees-aaron-judge-strikes-calls-out-of-zone-umpire-low

      And it hasn’t changed since then.

  4. Inquiring minds want to know:
    Would they even have pitched to judge in the 7th inning with a base open? Would Boone have let judge bat in the 9th inning with a 10 run lead?

    But yeah the judge power outage is disturbing.

  5. On second thought: Juan Soto scratched from Yankees lineup due to soreness and swelling, Aaron Boone said. X-rays were negative. No additional testing scheduled.
