Gil vs Cabrera

 

[yankeesince59]

Gil already in trouble...1.1 IP, 3 BBs, 3 hits. 3-1, bad guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Gil allows 9 base runners in 3.1 innings and was likely on some sort of pitch count but Boone pulls him in favor of LHed Headrick to face a LHed hitter who promptly smacks a 3 run HR.

...great move, Boone...6-1, bad guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

Jazz with a 2 run dinger...6-3, bad guys.

 

[yankeesince59]

After Volpe hustles out of the box and legs out a 2 out triple, Boone fails to pinch hit the RHed Goldschmidt who kills LHed pitching and instead leaves the LHed Wells in, who's been abysmal for over a month...Wells weakly pops ups, leaving Volpe stranded on 3B.

Thanx again, Boone.

For the umpteenth time, Cashman and Boone Bothe need to go....maybe bring back Jeter and Mattingly.

 

[yankeesince59]

So Boone fails to pinch hit the RHed hitting Goldschmidt vs a LHed pitcher in the 7th with 2 out and Volpe on 3B...but instead uses him to pinch hit for the LHed Rice facing a RHed pitcher in the 8th, and Goldschmidt promptly strikes out.

Brilliant, simply brilliant !....How in hell can he justify either one of these moves?

 

[yankeesince59]

Yanx lose, 7-3.

I don't see things getting much better, even when Judge returns. This poorly constructed Cashman roster is wasting Judges best years, which are slowly dwindling down to a precious remaining few.
