And as Kracken the ass fails to help his team we see that Oakland has loaded the bases with none out top 9. We can thank a piss poor effort on the offense and the pathetic effort by Dellin Deuphis for this loss. I wonder how Boner is going to spin this one. Getting tired of his we gotta shit. I still think there is something going on with this team that has not come out yet.

I agree 100%.

Hurry up back Mr. Judge. Right now should be batting didi, andujar and torres in some order 3,4 and 5 and get hicks and his .242 average the hell out of the 3 hole. Boone or cashman whoever is making it up continues to put out a terrible line up. It is painfully obvious that unless a miracle happens and a bolt of lightning strikes our pithing staff we so not have enough pitching to go far this year.

Yup you are right.

Another losing series at home to a non contender. This has become the norm lately.
Will these losses be more telling come playoff time?

After I got home today, I checked out the game play by play. One, again players failed to drive in runners with two or
less outs. Two, why bring Betances into a game with runners on base? He has difficulty with runners on base & word is
out that movement on base paths will unsettle this guy. Big Boner managerial error. Three, throw a rookie pitcher at
this team and you’re nearly guaranteed a win. Four, listening to Boner again after a loss is so superficial &
downright insulting.

The above problems are obvious, but there is something unsettling going on with this team which will probably
be revealed the day after their season ends.

Maybe I will watch The NY Football Giants instead of The Yankees.

If the objective in both sports is to score, these Yankees have troubles. Oh, these Giants cannot get into the end zone
for shit. Several players on both teams are overrated. Good luck watching. LOL

Same with ChappedAss.. Aroldis 016 Post Season with the Cubs.
Cubs pitchers must have cringed, when Maddon came out and took the ball from them, handing it over to Chapman. One thing was for sure, if you were the prior Pitcher, as Chapman entered the game. and had left Runners on base, he was damned and determined to allow inherited Runners to score on your dime, driving up prior pitchers earned run averages. He'd ensure the bases were clear, b4 his own ERA was effected. Whadda Team player, sacrificing inherited RISP, at his teammates expense. He sure wasn't sacrificing himself in the 06-teen postseason through n2/the World Series.

Ntm- after the World Series he cried whined and bitched about being overused by Maddon...

I hope a suitable reliever can be found and let Chapman option out. These days it seems like 30 to 50% of the time, instead of slamming the door, he opens that door of opportunity.

One can never compare the great Mo' to this ass wipe. The great teams #42 played on, did not give him as many save opportunities. Entering a game as a closer with more than three runs worth of a lead, does not qualify as a save

They're technologically a few games over during the stretch but this team has essentially been playing. 500 baseball for a long period of time now.

54-27 after 81 and 37-31 in the next 68. The worst part is it's a lot of games and loses to bad teams and teams out of the race.

Game Recap-

Betances screwed the pooch on this one.
4 straight hits in the 8-th inning. What is baboon thinking as he's blowin' bubbles?? He can't seem 2C Pitchers struggling, why??? And what kind of advice is Rothschild giving Noone...???

Betances entire career has been a roller coaster that doesn't taper off slowly, he suddenly falls off cliffs.

He's either Hot or Not. No middle ground..
Tho' Betances has only 3 BB'S over the last 7 games his ERA is 7.71- 9 Hits, 12 K'& 7.0 IP...

Over his career we have seen Sparks of brilliance, to an All-Star appearance as a kid. Followed by can't buy me a strike to save my ass. Snake bit once he does throw strikes.
Just when I thought he was on a path to redeem himself; when Chapman went down, He can't deliver the mail...

Betances career numbers- K9/ H9/ HR9 have been Elite phenomenal. BUT base on balls has always been recklessly out of control...
Though he had no base on balls last night four consecutive hits WTF. Does the Black Sox Scandal live on in the Tulku known as Betances...
