The Yankees better watch themselves. Boston is playing Baltimore this week and the Yankees LOVE to poo poo the bed in Tampa. We could be 8-9 out in a few days.

Jeez, Journalism is a poo poo business.



Gary embarrassing himself on both sides.

Andujar is the only guy other than Judge on this team playing well right now and there are guys in here who can't wait to dump him.... SMDH.

lol @ this team catching boston. They can't beat a team who starts bad middle RP's and has the great JiMan Choi hitting cleanup.

Boone loving sucks. What an embarrassment this game was. Also, nice job running that out Gary. thanks for showing up.

Stanton was only 4 for 4 in this game, who wants him up against a lefty with the bases loaded. Lets bunt the 3 hitter who shouldn't be hitting 3rd to get to the 5 hitter who shouldn't be hitting 5 and who hits 080 with the bases loaded in his career. gently caress off. 6 back and falling fast.

Sanchez should be benched for a week after that joke of a performance. He's utterly embarrassing himself.

The Yankees are also in these games because the WHOLE TEAM dogs it in these games just like Sanchez did tonight. Do you see Boston in these death struggles with poo poo teams night after night? They beat these teams brains in every night.

How about this, if you're gonna bunt your 3 hitter, he shouldn't be loving hitting 3rd.

Gary has gotten way too much hate in his time as a Yankee for stuff he shouldn't be hated for. Tonight's game is telling those detractors, "everything you say about me is right." There's some big issue with Gary. And I'm still not going to say he's a lazy POS like a lot of "fans" do, because he's not. You can't be a major leaguer if you are. But his mentality is awful. Will it be this way forever? It doesn't have to be. He can get better, he can fix his poo poo. But "can" and "will" are two very different things.

The 2017 --> 2018 lack of progression is very worrying. I don't even care about the hitting, it's him regressing even more behind the plate and being out of shape which is clearly the reason he got hurt and probably a big reason why his catching hasn't improved either.

Why do we need Britton when our clear weakness is that we only have 2 starters and also somehow lose to the Orioles and Rays non-stop?

It makes sense to double down on the bullpen if there are no good starters available...

I also saw rumors that the Yankees were talking with the O's about Britton and Bundy/Gausman. I would be interested in Bundy for sure.

Bundy is awful. He's given up TWENTY THREE homers in 108 innings.

Bundy's slider is elite and his fastball is good when it's fast (and the Yankees have a good track record of helping velo, if nothing else.) I'd be willing to take that gamble, especially given how poo poo bad O's pitch coaching is.

He's not the fix, but I think it's worth a try?

EDIT: I mean, the SP market is nobody. Eovaldi is the only person who could be got for less than a king's ransom who hasn't doused himself with gasoline and lit an entire book of matches over the past several starts, right?

There is no mediocre tampa pitcher mediocre enough not to pitch 5 innings and give up 1 run against this "great" lineup.

Yankees have a huge 40 man roster crunch coming again this offseason. They needed to trade away some of their surplus of prospects. Adams, Holder, Sheffield need to be added in addition to these three that were traded.
