K Gausman 8-9 3.16 vs. J Taillon 11-3 3.95

Yankees playing tighter than snare drums.

I take comfort that this game is not televised in New York area.

How in Hell does Gausman have a losing record? Oh yeah, these are the Yankees he’s pitching against!

Toronto breaks the tie with a run top 3, 1-0 bad guys.
 
Tonight is Suyzn Waldman & John Sterling bobblehead night. Would you believe they’re all sold out!
Getting more buzz than the Yankee team.
 
Typical taillon start. Death by a thousand knife wounds. Though the way we hit 1 or 2 is probably enough. I’ve seen enough of IKF. He can go join hicks now
 
Again, our only salvation is if the Yanx completely blow their 15 game lead, which leads to both Boone and Cashman to be relieved of their duties.

And here's a crazy idea, not that he would accept the position/s, but make Jeter the GM and/or Manager...who would resign Judge and make him the 14th Captain of the Yanx.
 
How many faux pas does Trashman have to acquire via trades before Hal Steinbrenner relieves him of his position?
It looks like until Hal dies!

If I were a pitcher, I would be salivating against this Yankee lineup! They are terrible.
 
Yankees getting the old Bronx cheer…..Yankee faithful booing this team. They show no energy!
 
I'll keep saying it. Boone and Cashman need to go. Looking at the lead going to eight games, no sign of life even after the Donaldson slam and the prospect of facing deGrom and Scherzer shortly.

Boone lost control of this team a while back.
 
3 shutouts in last 6 games. Ouch! Somebody wake hal up and get his ass up here to see this shit in person
 
Benitendi is hitting.186 as a Yankee. He was hitting .320 when the Yanx acquired him from KC. Another ex-Red Sox player (Ellsbury), who looked great until he came to the Bronx.

King George would have shit canned BaBoone and Trashman years ago, or more than likely never hired BaBoone to begin with.

A new GM and Mgr may or may not be capable of fixing this team. One thing is for sure, unless Hal can replace both Trashman and BaBoone with a "self-driving" GM and Mgr. The type(s) who don't need an owner for anything other than signing the checks, then Hal himself needs to sell this team to a Jeter led group.

I wonder how Billy Beane would do in NY, with a massive payroll?
If I were the owner of the Yankees interviewing GM's, the one question, the first question that would determine whether or not to hire a GM, would be do you believe BaBoone should be fired? Of course if the answer is no, then they're not worth hiring.

I seriously believe Hal is totally inept, and blind to every aspect as to how baseball should be played and managed, that he requires a self-driving GM and Mgr. Otherwise he needs to sell and he needs to do it soon. Each and every year could easily be like this one, with Hal on the throne.

I was going to mention having to face two of the best arms Monday and Tuesday, will more than likely be a dagger to the heart.

On other social media sites I read over and over again the morning after The Donaldson Grand Slam 10th inning walk off, too many people believing and saying: "this will be the game that reignites the Yankees and turns their season back around."
Those poor guys are more than likely overwhelming the suicide hotlines! 1-800-dont-doit
 
"Jordan Montgomery has won as many games as the Yankees since trade



Jordan Montgomery is out to prove that the Yankees made an unforgivable mistake by trading him

The New York Yankees are 3-12 after making befuddling moves at the MLB Trade Deadline on August 2. Jordan Montgomery, who was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals by the Yankees? 3-0 in that same span.

Over that time, Montgomery has a sub-1 ERA, 17 strikeouts, and three walks.

Montgomery’s trade was one of several head-scratchers at the deadline, as he was relatively strong for New York as a starter. Though his record was just 3-3, he had a respectable 3.69 ERA. Montgomery was the victim of a bit of bad luck throughout the year as the Yankee bats could never get it going on Monty nights the same way they could for other starting pitchers. Montgomery got 4.81 runs of support in his starts, the worst of all Yankee starters."
 
There's no doubt the Yankees can blow this division. They're not even playing competitive baseball. Boone isn't the right guy to be managing this team and Cashman has makes blunder after blunder.

Monty on 3 Games-16.2 IP/17 SO/12 Hits/3 BB/0 HR/ 0.54 ERA

Monty was much better than he ever got credit for in the Bronx. He did not get shit for run support, and was always pulled too early.
 
^^^^what really irks me about Monty going to St.Louis……Yankees’ need for a good lefty on a pitching short staff;
yes, BaBoone mishandled Monty, but then again, he normally mishandles his pitchers; this move alone makes
Trashman an unfocused GM. What kind of bullshit to say this trade is for the future when your focus should be
on this year’s team! Watching this team lose every 3 out of 4 falls on Hal S, Cashman and Boone. All I see is anger,
frustration, & lack of urgency from management to the players.

This might go down as one of, if not THE worst trade Cashman has ever made. Pitching staff was looking shaky. Starters were approaching innings thrown that they’ve never been close to in careers. Cashman trades a good starter, not great (at least not with us because BaBoone has no idea how to handle pitchers), and in exchange for a starting pitcher he picks up an injured outfielder who likely won’t even see the field and will create an even bigger issue/logjam out there. Cashman is a bumbling idiot as a GM. Imagine what a real GM could have done during Cashman’s tenure with these resources. Yet Cashman year after year gets caught with his pants down and shits the bed. He will go down as one of the worst GMs in Yankees history. I’ve been rooting for the collapse for weeks now as it is the only way Cashman and Boone are both gone next year, along with the rest of this incompetent coaching staff and front office analytic group. Now we just need Hal to kick the bucket so a real owner can come in here and bring the Yankees back to what they once were.
 
Boone, after the game;

"It's there and we can run away from this thing," Boone said. "And we got the dudes in there to do it. But we have to do it. If we don't score, it's tough to win."

..."If we don't score. it's tough to win."


...Uhhh, no shit, Sherlock !...That Boone guy is so cerebral :blush: ............for the umpteenth time, we shoulda brought back Showalter.

My exact sentiments.

During the post game press conference BaBoone said "ya know" 56 times... That's the sign of an unhinged manager, not to mention his pounding his fist on the table!
I even played the DVR back and counted Fifty Six times, ya know!

Amen!
Trashman definitely has a thing for overloading outfields with pure garbage!
That, with BaBoone on his fifth year with the Yankees, still and never will ever figure out how to work a pitching staff, and or a bullpen. He knows absolutely nothing about pitching and he never will.

It really pisses me off when he talks about hanging out (regularly) in the Angels dugout, when his dad was playing in Anaheim. Being the son of a catcher, and hanging out with a MLB team around you, one would think he might have picked something up, but he must have been obviously occupied blowing fucking bubbles!!! Truth be told, blowing fucking bubbles, is the only skill he demonstrates on an MLB field....
Hey Aaron blow this!!! (Rated X, meant for mature audiences only)!!!
