ugh

drop him out of the 3 spot for time being

Impressive.

with a few opportunities

would suck not to sweep the laughingstock of the league at home.

at ball 4? Judge will not see a ball in the strike zone as long as Stanton stays cold. Need to move up Sanchez and maybe give Stanton a day off.

5 walks and no hits.

when one, he's been ice cold at the plate, and two, the pitcher he's facing has walked 5 of the first 11 batters he's faced up to that point.

They are pitching to Stanton and he's is not hitting and swinging at shit. Sanchez or Didi need to move to 3rd and Stanton to 5 to get him out of the way and take pressure off Stanton.

no-hit the Mets through six innings last start.

by Andujar.

on that play.

Yep, almost wish he had opted out last year

Sanchez and Didi it can still be interesting.

They have no pitchers lol. Awesome job Cashman.

Are getting their asses kicker at home by the worst team in baseball. This is embarrassing.

This team has no pitching and the bullpen is highly overrated huge concern

Why are you here? Aren't you a Red Sox fan?

But always love how the whiners and trolls wait until the Yanks are losing to complain. Nowhere to be found last night

Please fucking do something.

And I know its April and I know about the injuries, but this team has not inspired confidence in me at all.

- line up based on home run hitters: Stanton looks like Judge at his worst last year. While I know he had a similar start last year, I echo other posters who like a certain number of guys in the line up who can get on, get over and get in. It seems like its production from power or nothing from these guys. Big time pitchers will feast on that. We need some guys with line drive approaches at the plate it seems.

- Starting pitching is shaky again. Last year we were saddled with Piñeda's inconsistency, Tanaka being a pitching machine, but saved by Monty being a nice surprise every fifth day and our ridiculous rookies Judge and Sanchez (though not tech a rookie). This year we dont have that...yet. Monty looks shakey, Gray has an infuriating approach, Sanchez is middling. Gardner was also hot off the start last year and seems mor down to earth not to mentuon another year older.

3) Bullpen...Im less worried about this side except for Betances looking as inconsistent as he was the end of last year and Chapman is another year older and I have yet to see him hit triples on the gun multiple times in one game so far.

Again, I realize the time of year, injuries and weather, but all of the concerns I listed above I thought would be an issue and thats not mentioning the lack of confidence I have in Boone....based solely on his lack of experience. He doesnt push the right buttons, doesnt put down line ups I like and seems more binder driven than even Girardi. Things could change if/when Bird gets healthy and they bring up Gleyber, but this team sucks right now.

shutting out this juggernaut.

No contact with bases loaded and less than 2 out. 2B spot in the order is a hole right now. Torreyes would make contact.

Just awful plate appearances.

and players don't think that that system was broken. Now at 32 and declining he gets 4 million and they think the systems is broken.

Boone as manager seems out of his league. Poor lineups questionable bullpen moves and a lot of small mistakes that turn into big problems. Tonight he gives a green light on 3-0 with two on to a hitter in a dreadful slump? That is nuts. Maybe he is pressing more then Stanton

We will right the ship but it didn't have to be this way.

gotta lead. Time for the team leaders to stop on some gloves.

but if we spot a good team like the Sox a big enough lead in April, they can go wire to wire.

that should ever happen. Not ever with a team that expects to contend.

defensive play.

Now Cessa is hurt.

Let's play more baseball in 40 deg weather.

to see how well he communicates and connects.

WTF?

Stanton will come around but I agree and thought so then that he is too much of same player they already have. But for today be is the least of their worries. Tanaka can't shit the bed against a minor league team.

unacceptable. Not seeing the grinding we need every game.

They won 12-1 against the worst team in baseball kinda of hard to find trolls on that game thread, but tell wtf is there to complain about when the team is winning, usually whiners and trolls will be on these type of game threads so sorry you don’t approve to it Mr BBI police.

K's on a 93mph fastball down the middle of the plate.

I don't see him balanced in the box with that stance in any way.

This team blows.

his here to play. First big league HR to wipe the shutout.

9-1

no shut out.

I know I sound like a broken record here, but Cashman has got to straighten out Boone or this season is done. He uses his two best relief pitchers in a 9-0 game ? ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME ? Collectively, this is like using Mariano Rivera in a 9-0 game. His mismanagement has already burnt out Kahnle, who's going to be next ? As I said in a previous post, these games are so one sided, both the wins and the losses that it can't be blamed on what Boone is doing or not doing, but the way Boone is mismanaging this bullpen the Yanks are going to continue to lose even after the starters, Stanton, Walker and who ever the hell else get on track. And again why in the hell is Torreyes sitting agains a left hander ? Boone is turning into McAdoo before our eyes !

Andujar starting to hit

Relax. They haven't pitched for 5 days. They need work.

After tomorrow they play 18 straight games without a off day they will have plenty of work then

Ugh

so maybe its just a cold weather thing

He was comfortable there last season and it would put 2 of the AL's best hitters Judge/Didi back to back. As it is, Stanton is just killing rallies after Judge gets on base. Moving him behind Sanchez wouldn't accomplish anything. I'm not worried about Sanchez. Like tonight, I think he's been mostly unlucky or just a hair off at times.

Neil Walker has been AWFUL. Hopefully, Drury and Gleyber will be up soon. I know he homered tonight, but unless Andujar is going to play EVERY day, I wouldn't even bother calling him up. It's unfair to expect him to produce with inconsistent playing time. He's starting now, but he was mostly riding the bench after he got called up.

...clinch the division by tax filing day.

There's 5+ months left to the season... right?
