NY Yankees

[2forheels]

Ever notice that Wells is bat blind? Closes his eyes on every pitch.

And Headrick just gave up the lead. And with the pen fully rested Boone just allows Headrick to continue to pitch batting practice. And now Boone brings in a reliever with an ERA hovering around 6. WTF Boone. I am so sick of Boone and his mismanagement of the pitching staff.

I've said for years now if the Yankees ever win it will be in spite of Boone not because of him. 2nd loss in 4 days when Tampa list that Boone made head scratching decisions.

 

[2forheels]

I've seen enough. I'm tired. I'll watch the last inning in bed. Another double play to kill an inning. I've seen enough of Wells, too. Worst hitter in baseball. The Yankees knew they needed a catcher and relievers and they got none. That's on management.

And why the fuckbis Hanner pitching? **** Aaron Boone!

 

[2forheels]

So Cruz admitted postgame that he is not trying to strike out batters but is pitching to get outs by contact. And therein lies the problem. He also said he has mechanical problems and knows what it is but has not worked on correcting it. WTF? and Boone keeps going to him? The home run he allowed was a 91 mph 4 seamer right down the middle.

Man…losing to Houston always ticks me off.

Man…losing to Houston always ticks me off.

And me. Can't stand it.

 

[2forheels]

The Yankees arm injuries saga continues. I'm not a fan of Cruz at all, but he's headed to the IL with elbow issues. WTF are the Yankees doing to their pitchers. I'm holding my breath with Schlittler.

 

[2forheels]

Who the hell is calling pitches for the Yankees? You know Altuve is going to swing at a first pitch fastball. It's automatic and elementary. Why put a new pitcher in that situation? Altuve smoked it but Grisham should have had it. Misjudged yet another sure fly out. I feel for Rodriguez.

 

[2forheels]

Looks like the Yankees leaving the bases loaded in the 2nd inning is going to cost them. Haven't done anything since.

 

[2forheels]

I swear this team is terrible with the bases loaded AND hitting into double plays to kill innings. Grisham is having a rough game in the field and at bat. Bases loaded and no outs in the 5th and he hits a weak grounder to 2B for a double play.

 

[2forheels]

I'll say it's baffling how reviewers can blow a call. Jazz was clearly safe on the steal attempt. I didn't think it was even close. Hand CLEARLY in before the tag. Damn. Mr. Magoo must be reviewing. Hey Jim Palmer, the Yankees just lost a review that they were screwed on. What do you say?

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

If the pen blows this one again tonight…it may be the two-game stretch we look back at when we end up a WC instead of with home field throughout the playoffs.

 

[2forheels]

It's like I'm posting a broken record every game. Rodriguez pitching excellent. Gives up a leadoff single and here comes Boone. Every damn time he makes a pitching change it backfires. Blackburn instantly gives up a double. Lombard makes his 5th error in 5 games but the run would have scored anyway. I'm not a fan of pulling a starter who is pitching well and has the lead because of 1 single. Blackburn blew the lead but to his credit he got out of a bases loaded 1 out jam with some good pitches.

 

[lakelawyerheel]

Garcia with the HUSTLE. I love to see that

 

[lakelawyerheel]

And Belli delivers!

 

[lakelawyerheel]

Garcia saw Belli’s ball all the way and almost ran over Rice at 2nd. He could have scored from first had the CF not played the carom off the wall perfectly

And now Jones plates Garcia. Yankee lefties delivering this inning

 

[2forheels]

Yankees finally come through with the bases loaded. Hard to believe the Yankees have not hit a grand slam this year and Bellinger just missed by a few feet. Jones and Jazz drive in a few more.

Nice to see Jazz go oppo. You would think that major league hitters would be able to figure out that driving the ball the way the pitch requires…works

It is what has made Judge the machine he is

 

[lakelawyerheel]

Had to look twice when Fulmer came in. Cashman was finally able to get him (because nobody else wanted him) after years of trying to trade for him

 

[2forheels]

I swear every time Boone pulls a starter the first reliever gives up a run.

 

[2forheels]

Lombard is punching his jticket back To AAA. That's now 6 errors in 6 straight games and they have been on routine plays. No Yankees SS has ever had an error in 6 straight games. And defense is supposed to be his strong point.

 

[2forheels]

And the Yankees lose yet another series at home to a sub .500 team.

 

[2forheels]

Schlittler again getting no run support. Only 2 hits by the Yankees through 6 innings. Cam again struggling with control at home. Baffling. Walked 5 and Headrick in for him in the 6th. Yanks up 1-0 on Goldy home

Cam has to go deeper in games. That’s what an ace needs to give you. We have four games in three days against a rival and in Game 1 we got a whopping 1/3 of an inning more from our Cy Young guy than Boston got from a mediocre backend guy. They makes a split tomorrow the best case probably.

It's not just Cam but the whole pitching staff and the Yankees philosophy. It's one of the things that really irks me about the Yankees. They want their pitchers to make batters chase so instead of going right at batters they go 3-2 on every batter so the pitch counts go up and here comes Boone to yank the starter most of the time in the 5th inning. They have their starters geared for 5 innings. That is fine except you have a crap bullpen. Cam should have 20 wins already.

 

[2forheels]

The Yankees continue to be weak at the plate. Only 3 hits and Rice had 2 of them. Last night was our best combination of pitchers. Schlittler, Hendrick, Blackburn, and Bednar. They have our top 4 ERAs, but you're not going to have that exact combination often.

The damn Rays continue to win on their way to another division title. 2nd year in a row Paul O'Neill said they would fizzle out after the All Star break.

 

[2forheels]

Boone yanking Schlittler in the 5th after a 2 out walk almost backfired like usual when he pulls a starter. Headrick wasted no time in loading the bases but got out of it. And Bellinger's throw to home to nab a runner by a foot in the 7th inning was awesome. Saved the game.

Absolutely perfect throw that forced the glove into the line of the runner

It’s hard to find a better all-around outfielder than Belli, especially when he’s in left

Belli and Judge have two of the best strength + accuracy combo arms in the show

 

[2forheels]

Yankees with a whopping 4 hits again. The Yankees brass beeds to get off their butts and put some pressure on Boone and his hitting coaches that obviously have no clue how to break a 2 month team wide hitting slump.

 

[2forheels]

And Yarbrough had another atrocious outing.

 

[2forheels]

2 good things about the nightcap. The Yankees had 13 hits in a game for the 2nd time in a week. Could the bats finally be starting to heat up at the right time? We'll see.

And 5 Yankees relievers gave up only 1 run. Would be nice if that became the norm rather than the exception.

 

[2forheels]

Lombard is the 3rd Yankees player to get injured on a check swing this season.

 

[lakelawyerheel]

That’s amazing. 3 guys Injured on a check swing

 

[lakelawyerheel]

Lombard is the 3rd Yankees player to get injured on a check swing this season.

That tells me that all of those guys swings have been tinkered with to produce max torque, launch angle, etc. You don’t hurt yourself on a check swing with the swing you’ve made a million times growing up

And tinkering with swings is what causes potential .300 hitters with gap power to become .230 hitters who hit 20 dingers. I’ll take the .300 guy hitting 40 doubles in the gaps

 

[2forheels]

Boone really irks me. Rice getting a day of rest. He has gotten back into a groove hitting over the past week and now he's not in the lineup.

 

[2forheels]

Gil in the bullpen today.

 

[lakelawyerheel]

He’s been DH’g and he needs rest? What the ******* ****

 

[2forheels]

If I were a manager I would put a restriction on players asking for a challenge early in a game. Caballero just lost a challenge in the 2nd inning. This is a big game for a tie breaker in the wild card should these teams end up tied and now we only have 1 challenge left and the pitch Caballero challenged wasn't all that close

 

[2forheels]

He’s been DH’g and he needs rest? What the ******* ****

Pisses me off.

 

[2forheels]

After last night's hitting outburst the Yankees are back to their normal of late. 1 hit throughb5 innings. It's such a shame because Warren is dealing today.

 

[2forheels]

Last night was the first time since 1956 and the 6th time in their history where they got 13 singles and every batter scored exactly 1 run.
