I would simply like to see a lineup of players that I can hope will contribute.
We’re gonna take this one and sweep at home. I just know it.
WE PLAY TODAY.
Verlander started 10 postseason games against the Yankees
We are 2-8 in those games and he pitched 64.1 IP to a 2.52 ERA and .886 WHIP, and one of our Ws was in a game where he pitched 1 inning due to a rainout. Take out the rainout and his average start exceeds 7.0 IP. His ERA in postseason games against non-Yankees is 4.05, we lower it to 3.55
#WE WIN TODAY
#I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ELSE
#BC WE WIN TODAY
We won Game 1 in 2019 then lost 3 straight. Time to flip the script.
If we want to look at a silver lining, we were on the road against the obvious Cy Young winner, struckout 17 times, had our 4th starter start the game, brought in Clarke Schmidt at the worst time, AND were still about only 1 or 2 feet away from a homerun off Stanton’s bat that could have had us tied at 4 with a chance to win. Fallacy of the predetermined outcome be damned!
Tip your cap. The Astros are better than the Yankees from ownership on down.
I don’t care what the Astros are doing, I’m just bummed that our offense isn’t at the top of their game. If they were I’d be less worried
Im actually amazed. How can you have a job for 5 years and not learn a single goddamn thing? How are you still pulling the same dumb shit you were as a rookie manager? Boone and the analytics need to be cleaned out and reoplaced. Cashman, too. Because we know at least 50%+ of the decisions are him. Seriously how many pitchers are “on” and end up pitching less than 15 pitches or only getting 1 out and leaving. Idk how anyone can claim hes a good manager because his record is the most misleading stat ever
We are living in a jerry jones situation where a FO guy is overstepping his role and fucking the team throughout.
Also playoffs performance is gonna overshadow judges season and ppl will see its a trend. He just doesnt perform consistently in the playoffs. He needs to turn this shit around. So does the rest of the lineup, stanton and bader cant be our only source of runs
I won’t be back. Yankees sub is a bunch of doomer cunts and you’re (almost) all depressing to listen to. Find some joy in your lives.
I wish the Mets got all the way so we could go against a respectable team
Bader CF
Judge RF
Rizzo 1B
Stanton DH
Torres 2B
Cabrera LF
Peraza SS
IKF 3B
Higgy C
Bader raking: okay so maybe Cashman knows what he’s doing..
Then they brought out fucking Frankie **“Not my #47”** Montas 😐
We need DJ and Benintendi back
My dream is to fall asleep in the 7th inning tonight when we are up 10 runs. Judge and Stanton are gonna pop off tonight.
Boone needs to shake it up a little. Hopefully Sevy is on his game and we kick some ass.
This is perfect, now the Yankees can’t be the first team in baseball history to blow a 3-0 lead
A win tonight means the Yankees have home field through the rest of the series. Let’s Fucking Go!!!
I swear if Boone pulls Sevy early for Frankie **”Not my #47** Montas today
Peraza SS tonight please
Sure, we lost a game where Verlander went against our fourth starter. It’s ok. One thing I learned from this game is that Houston is beatable. They are not an unbeatable juggernaut. Let’s see how they do against our big 3 SPs.
Fughetabout last night. We fucking win tonight
Maybe the offense won’t strike out 17 times tonight
Why are people obsessing over bringing German in against the Astros now?
He was shelled against them earlier this year, he has a FIP in the mid 4s and isn’t normally coming out of the bullpen.
I agree bringing Montas in wasn’t a good choice but people saying German over Schmidt are crazy
