7/27: It's all falling to pieces

[jon abbey]

The (small) bright side is that Cashman doesn't like to mess with things midseason when the team is going well, but he certainly doesn't have that issue this year.

 

[terrynever]

None of us are giving up on this team. We have seen some weird playoff races over the years. Remember 1995? I gave up on those guys. But I was younger then. Things can change quickly. What if Dominguez comes up in August and adds a power bat to the lineup? He’s hitting around .350 in 91 ABs in the minors this year. What if Stanton returns and eventually starts scaring people.

Cashman has to fix the bullpen. And dump three sticks of dead wood.

I can't embed the tweet, but the Yankees are finalizing a deal for Jazz Chisholm:

Yep, we are talking about it in multiple threads in the Yankee section.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I dedicate this largely-forgotten number to this thread.

 

[terrynever]

Looks like the Yankees did some film work on Kutter.

 

[EvilEmpire]

Stroman coming up small is very disappointing.

 

[terrynever]

Well, he is kind of short for a pitcher!

 

[terrynever]

Fenway Park, hot summer night. Always fun to watch.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

This pitching staff is going to be the death of me.

 

[terrynever]

You’re killing me, Smalls!

 

[terrynever]

You’re killing me, Gleyber.

 

[EvilEmpire]

Come on, Gleyber.

I hope that is the last time I say that.

 

[terrynever]

Some teams find ways to win games. Others work on creative ways to lose.

 

[terrynever]

Thank you for not walking Judge.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Thank you for not walking Judge.

You are most decidedly not welcome

Cora has his extension. He just wants to have fun.

 

[EvilEmpire]

OK, I like that. Good job Wells.

 

[terrynever]

Is Gleyber actually awake for this game?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Cora has his extension. He just wants to have fun.

And torture those of us who didn't want him to get an extension!

 

[EvilEmpire]

Is Gleyber actually awake for this game?

I think he's depressed unhappy. He knows he's going somewhere. Another team. The bench. Somewhere.

Agree. Tough night for him. Just swung through a hanging cutter/sweeper for strike three, ending a 9-pitch AB.

 

[terrynever]

You’re killing me, Cousins.

 

[EvilEmpire]

A lot of great pitching and defense from both teams tonight.

 

[jon abbey]

I just close my eyes and think of the potential lineup by mid-August if Cashman lands a 3B also...

Chisholm 2B (L)
Soto RF (L)
Judge CF/LF (R)
Dominguez LF/CF (S)
Stanton DH (R)
Wells C (L)
3B TK
Rice 1B (L)
Volpe SS (R)

When is Rizzo supposed to return?

 

[jon abbey]

When is Rizzo supposed to return?

I have not heard a timetable, I actually forgot about him, heh.

 

[EvilEmpire]

It's almost like teams have figured out that Rice can't hit lefties at all.

 

[EvilEmpire]

DJ should be PHing even though he's terrible now.

 

[EvilEmpire]

Damn, good job, kid. DJ wouldn't have gotten it in the air.

 

[jon abbey]

The Red Sox outfielders should be wearing football helmets this series in the OF, are they always like that? Flipping into stands, running into walls, somehow staying in the game. It's impressive, I guess?

 

[jon abbey]

Booser throws 97 but I don't think threw one FB to either lefty, Rice or Grisham.

 

[terrynever]

Gulf of Tonkin breaks up tie game. Only took one batter.

 

[terrynever]

Yankees almost always had a decent bullpen. Until this year.

 

[terrynever]

Tonkin on the verge of getting an out.

 

[terrynever]

Not quite. Homer, double, double. Boone concedes game. He’s got nobody left.

 

[terrynever]

An out!

 

[terrynever]

Time for Boone to get ejected. I give him one more inning.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Time for Boone to get ejected. I give him one more inning.

Dinner reservation at 10?

 

[terrynever]

Kahnle gets the third out.

 

[terrynever]

Dinner reservation at 10?

Still has to wait around for his press conference. CHB will be lurking.

 

[terrynever]

Cora wants to test Judge one more time.

 

[terrynever]

Judge wins this battle but Soto runs through stop sign, out at home. Great play by Duran, barehanding carom off wall.

 

[terrynever]

Kind of an interesting statement by Soto in terms of not obeying his coach or the code of baserunning. Had he stayed at third, he scores on Wells’ subsequent fly to left.

 

[terrynever]

Meanwhile, Judge is frigging awesome tonight.

 

[terrynever]

Kahnle tosses a scoreless eighth. If Yanks can tie this up, would Boone dare send out Holmes?

 

[terrynever]

Tie game again. I already know the ending. Good night.

 

[jon abbey]

This is one of the best July games ever through 9, 5 different ties!!!

 

[EvilEmpire]

Good job Gleyber. I take back the mean thing I wrote earlier. Mostly.

 

[jon abbey]

So happy for Gleyber!!!
