Based on past west coast performances, Yankees will have to play at their optimum to win games. These games
will be crucial if they wish to be the #1 wild card. Pitching will be the key. How they turn their game around is
another story.
 
Read the River Avenue Blues report on yesterdays game. EAB is brutally honest, they cut no one any slack. Their final comment is that the Yankees to a man should be pissed at the way they were beaten by two teams like Detroit and Chicago. Seem like a coincidence but Ellsbury came to visit when the team was in Tampa in late June. The Yankees were swept in that series and went into the current funk just a short time later in July. We've all read and head comments from Boner and the players stating that "we have to play better baseball" they have not accomplished that task. Don't know how it will go out there I'm no seer but a poor performance could end result with the Wild Card Game in Oakland and there is no Jeter to bail these sorry mothers out.
 
I rate Billy Beane in the top 3 GMs. He knows pitching and knows how to develop them. Maybe Cashman should take
lessons on developing pitchers from Mr. Beane because he seems lost in this area.
 
A’s error gets Cutch to 3B....Yankees on the board with Hicks’ sac fly.
Let’s see if CC can throw a scoreless first.

I must be a hopeless dreamer! He gives up 3 first inning runs.

CC is in a jam ......what else is new! First & second with one out.
 
SOB. Three straight hits and this game is tied, 1-1 and A’s looking for more. Ugh!
Bases loaded and still one out. CC will wear out by 3rd inning, 29 pitches, if he gets that far!
Yankees down 2-1 as he walks in second run against a left handed hitter.

I’m just shaking my head. Four of last five games starters have given up first inning runs. Andujar error scores 3rd run.
A horror show is unfolding..as CC approaches 40 pitches this inning.
 
Holy cow.. Voit ( Luke Spencer ) booms a 2 run HR. Game tied at 3.
 
Since we all know Trashman won’t fire BaBoone, we need to get a new pitching coach here ASAP. This is unreal. Starter after starter can’t go deep. Guys have flawed mechanics but our pitching coach can’t seem to ever get anyone right. It’s a disgrace.

...I'll say it again...the Yanx really need to get someone to work with both Andujar and Torres on their defense...it's abysmal.

Right on the money!! As much as I like andujar’s offense he is to the point that you hold your breath on any throws of his to first if he catches the ball. Seemed better earlier in the season. Boone may have to start replacing him defensively in 8th and 9th innings with a lead. Torres on the other hand is a very good fielder but gets in trouble when he nonchalant balls and mentallyzones out at times with regards to not covering bases
 
Why do I get the feeling they stopped hitting?.........after scoring 3 runs.

CC is done. Another double and now the parade of bull(shit)penners.
 
Nice effort cc giving us another 3 innings!! Please retire after this season. Watching this geriatric starting staff besides Seve is frustrating as hell. This team especially with judge back can win WC game, Boston , Houston and World Series. They are also capable even with judge in there if getting their asses kicked in the WC game and an early offseason. If this happens I expect Steinbrenner without the tax situation going crazy and the only 2 starters back are Seve and Tanaka with probably Sheffield in the rotation. The other 2 spots will either be top free agent pitchers if there are any or trading for top young starters. Would not be surprised if andujar continues fielding like he is trading him for a youn starter and signing machado to play third
 
A’s do what Yankees have tough time doing.......tacking on runs. Yankees down 5-3.
 
And this is another problem. We are still in this game only down a run and Boone brings in guys that just give up runs like Cole and holder that we can never catch up from

Maybe Boner should have his relievers pitch for 2 outs. Every one of them gives up runs, it seems.
 
The way this team has been playing they don’t really deserve a playoff spot, but with such a hot start it’s almost guaranteed they’ll get in. As of right now, with the giant funk this team is in there is no way they win the WC game. All facets of their game is crap. Offense....crap. Pitching....crap. Defense.....crap.
