Ok take him out.

 

[yankeesince59]

CC has blown 4 leads in the last 2 games he's pitched.

 

[yankeesince59]

WTF is Rothschild gonna tell CC?...IMO, Rothschild might very well be part of the Yanx's pitching woes.

Mel, this article might answer your question.

Good article Matt!! As much as it says their accuracy has been cleaned up still seems like a long way to go for these guys.

 

[Lillie]

Go eat Biggie.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Note to Smoltz: even as good an offense as the Yankees may have, without improved pitching we won't see them in the playoff.

Its a miracle the yankees have the record they do with this starting staff minus seve that can't get thru 5 innings. The more I think about it austin should have went down instead of rizutto because its said their showcasing austin but bird is playing full time. So austin would have got everyday at bats in triple A instead of rusting away up here.

Costas doesn't have the balls to ask Gerrit Cole why he didn't sign with the Yankees in 2008; opting to attend UCLA

^^^^^
Indeed a loooonnnggg way yet to go imo...

 

[yankeesince59]

CC breaks up an easy DP and then throws the ball into RF.

 

[mrmel29]

How is it possible that no one is even up throwing in the yanks bullpen with CC at 85 pitches. Hey Boone, wake the fuck up already

 

[yankeesince59]

Boone needs to grow a set of balls and light a fire underneath some of these guys who just seem lazy.

Actually, I'm thinking Boone may be in over his head.

 

[yankeesince59]

Way to totally disregard the base runner CC...just mail it in you fat fuck...and wait for the post game buffet spread.

 

[mrmel29]

And kay asleep at the switch as usual"Bird called off torreyes". who was last seen in triple A. BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

 

[yankeesince59]

ALL RISE !

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Judge Execution Order #015-018

 

[yankeesince59]

They just said that the Astros have averaged striking out 11 Yankees per game over the last 2 years. That equates to nearly 4 inning per game that the Yanx didn't even put the ball in play which means they only had 5 inning to score all of their runs vs Houston.

...not exactly a good formula for success.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Torres seems to have a problem focusing while on the field. Maybe the accolades are blurring his vision, I hope not. In the last couple/few games- Baserunning error, throwing error & head not in game error.

Note to Smoltz: even as good an offense as the Yankees may have, without improved pitching we won't see them in the playoff.

Could not agree more. Cashman is deluding Yankee fans with the hype of the Yankee lineup & with his
inability to develop pitching in the system. What any knowledgeable Yankee fan should understand (1) good
pitching will shut down any good hitting ball club, & (2) good pitching wins ball games.

When it comes to playoff baseball, good pitching wins out over average pitching teams. And yes, the Yankees
have an average pitching staff. If there are no improvements with Yankee pitching, they may not make the
playoffs this year.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankee infield is in imploding mood. Giving a good team runs is like putting nails in your own
coffin!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

They just said that the Astros have averaged striking out over 11 Yankees per game over the last 2 years.

If the Yankees cannot beat the Astros in the Bronx, I don't see how they're going to pull another miracle off as they did prior in Houston. If anything this series is proving the Yankees have not grown too far beyond the 017 ALCS, can"t hit the finessing of this Stto's SP Staff. I really thought the four-game series in Houston I proven otherwise, that Yankee batters have made the adjustment. Judge seems to have made some adjustments tho'.

And an explosive offense like the Yankees can make their own subpar or average pitching look good, don't we all know better ... ***Rash-man Thrasman is fooling nobody and the Yankees will not advance to an LDS/ALCS/World Series without a Major Improvement(s) 2 both SP/RP Staffs.

Costas is no Ernie Harwell... I'd rather listen to a drunken Harry Caray.
The era of Great Game announcers is in a demise, yet such creates great opportunity for the cream to rise to the top.

***1 would think a MLB Owner especially t/NYY's would know when they have an ass rash or a hemorrhoid symptoms...

 

[yankeesince59]

Jesus...why didn't DiDi tag on that fly from Hicks?...especially with no one out at the time?


This is simple Baseball 101.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Here is a pretty good article on the drafting of Judge Dredd... a good post game read...

Here's how the Yanks landed Judge in '13 Draft

[Mattingly23NY]

Does anybody give a fuck that Bob Costas does not use Twitter??? Costas head is as far removed from this game as Torres is right now

 

[yankeesince59]

Another error by Torres.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

If Boone had any balls he'd set Torres on the bench for a game or 2, maybe DH Him for a couple games, imho...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Five, count them five effing errors!!!

Yanks are lucky this game is still close, with five errors it could be well Out Of Reach...

 

[yankeesince59]

And now Sanchez follows with the 5th error of the game.

 

[yankeesince59]

If Boone had any balls he'd set Torres on the bench for a game or 2, maybe DH Him for a couple games, imho...

I wouldn't even let him DH...sit him, and in the long run, it might actually help him...Boone needs to let some of these guys know that their play is not acceptable.
