NFT: Let's Get Back on Track // Yanks vs Rangers // 7:05ET

pen else it will be more of the same...

For no apparent reason, that shitbag franchise is once again a major pain in the ass for the Yankees. Just infuriating.

Masahiro Tanaka (R)
vs. Rangers - Yu Darvish (R)

1. Brett Gardner (L) LF
2. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
3. Aaron Judge (R) RF
4. Matt Holliday (R) DH
5. Starlin Castro (R) 2B
6. Gary Sanchez (R) C
7. Didi Gregorius (L) SS
8. Chris Carter (R) 1B
9. Ronald Torreyes (R) 3B

This is the second day he's sitting.

your batting average with threads is getting as bad as Rasputin. no offense.

but the real problem is lack of length from the starters. I dont care who is in the pen, when you go to the pen in the 5th and 6th inning every night you are in trouble. And Girardi makes it worse by pulling guys early who are pitching decently like when he yanked Pineda with 2 outs and a man on first in the 6th and then Montgomery the next night. And then he doesn't let Shreve ptich the 7t after pitching to just 1 batter in the 6th.

Quiet, dupe. I'll take Anando on my team over you 100% of the time. Are you done coming up with your fourth handle yet?

Butt Catcher in ALB is that taken?

This. He also did it with Montgomery in Oakland. Wouldn't let him get the 3rd out.

Back spasms according to the RAB.

Andujar up to triple A. He is hitting .429 in 4 games. In Trenton he hit .312/7 homers/52 RBI's/.836 OPS. I think he has a shot at Headley's job this season if he continues.

His defense seems really raw. I don't know how ready he is this year. He sure seems to have the tools to make some noise next year.

first pitcher in MLB history with 10K, 3 homers allowed, 4 innings or less and with a partially torn ligament.

I love the YES qualified stats.

number ceremony from Clownway Park. Dude is a complete fraud, cheater and asshole. The Clownpark faithful are eating it up like the mouthbreathers that they are and i'm sitting here wondering why YES is giving this any time of day. F Arias.

Love or hate him, he gave them an identity. It sure made it fun to hate on them.

He got off to a slow start in Trenton too. His May/June numbers were ridiculous before his promo.

I believe he's also on the 40 man.

I think he will be a Sept call up but will we still be in it by then?

if they were sellers this year.
Holliday,Gardner,Castro,Hicks(highest value right now) Headley Romine even Carter. Pineda. Could really clear that 40 man jam up.
I'm just speculating here.

suppose to start?

To losing in Boston of course, world beaters against us tho.. Rays blowing out Baltimore Yankees better wake up or will be in 3rd place shortly

We play Texas,Chicago,Houston,Toronto and Milwaukee before the break lets say we go 4-12 in that span sign me up to be sellers,

Before first Rangers home run

have given up 5 or more runs in 20 straight games. Amazing

Is the ace that this Yankees team needs. I am pretty much 100% convinced.

The trade or don't trade debates are tedious, but at a minimum he should be the #1 priority for the offseason, IMO.

Got that ball even in the area code of first base is pretty ridiculous.

Gary needs to collapse on that pitch. This game is going to be tight AF. That could hurt.

When you miss, you need to miss down.

Huge

Tanaka throwing well, but there's almost no margin for error in this one. Which is worrisome given his HR tendencies.

Leave him in. Let him finish.

Good job Tanaka

Tanaka-san

in a LONG time.

just turned on and checked the box score. Looks like an incredible pitching duel.

How did Tanaka look?

He and Headley are neck and neck for me. He's worse, but he's not on a $13m x 4 years deal.

has been poor defensively this season. His blocking has been awful

Bad job

Turn the fucking glove and collapse. This is a pattern.

I don't get wound up about catcher defensive metrics but this is some avoidable shit right here.

has just been too inconsistent

Yankeees win Theeeeeeee Yankeeees Winnnn!!!

I can feel it

I also do not trust these radar guns. He obviously throws very hard, but hitters are not completely helpless against Chap's fastball.

can't believe we are going to drop this on a passed ball.

With the defribrillator

their great start. Great job. Chapman's been inconsistent this year (when not injured) and Sanchez really has to step up his defense. Putrid. One thing to lose to good teams, but the Angels, A's, and now Rangers. Come on. And yes I know Darvish is very good, but still.

Thank you for jinx'n that one muthafucka

Gardy deep

1-1

was just thinking, who's gonna be the guy to pull us out of this funk. We needed that from Gardner

being negative, and Gardy ties it up. Of course. Maybe I should be negative about this team more often.

Nothing to lose.

Steal second immediately. If you get caught, Holliday, Castro, Sanchez.

from Holliday tonight

Sorry I know some really don't give a fuck

with our bullpen..

Hope we score quick.

.

Could be fun

Little pricey tho

.

Nasty.

Brunette to the left

I think that the Holliday we've seen so far is significantly better than we should expect for the remainder.

Ok done for the night

Time to smoke cannabis and play mlbtheshow2013

Not liking this pitching change.

Gallo is a bum, and now you've got one less arm.

a .200 hitter doesn't warrant playing the splits.

like end-of-career Jorge Posada tonight.

Gallo is

Kind of fitting with Jorge playing in the Old Timers game on Sunday.

I'm calling it.

Glad he trusted his fastball there and attacked.

Gotta end this soon. I can't take too much more of this bullpen

His fastball is 2-3 mph faster and he has been one our most reliable relievers this year. He looks stoic.

Neeeeed contact

To let Carter hit

Just need contact

Contact and speed. Carter has neither. Mason has both, for allllll of his flaws.

in major league history.

by Girardi. Good grief

Torreyes bails out the manager

.

Bails out Girardi.

Nice job by Ronnie T.

Contact is a talent.

TOE!

Carter needs to go. Austin's contact numbers in AAA have been brutal but there's zero reason he shouldn't get a shot here. Maybe he plays better in the majors, probably not but we know that Carter can't do it here. Move on and try something else

game.

give the kid a lift! big W. Maybe we can get back on a roll now

It is what it is with Carter at this point. He's not getting better. I understand taking the chance at that price point, but it didn't work out, Move on.

Austin didn't light the world on fire last season after his call up but he was at least decent. Enough already

The type that you can build a team on.
Refuse to lose.

Yankees really, really needed this one after that Angels series. Feels good.

Great win. Love seeing the fellas celebrate.

Torreyes with a great game.

And Tanaka looked great.

Binders looked completely gassed and relieved.

Weird outing by Chapman. Sweaty.

Love the Toe!

On RAB they are spelling his name K-arter. Lol!

If they are going to be stubborn and not bring Austin up play headley at 1st and give Torreyes a shot playing every day at 3rd, he is more then capable of getting the job done he proved it when did I was out in April.. sick and tired of carter
