NFT: A's at Yankees Matinee

Rodon v. ex-Yankee J.P. Sears. Boone already ejected on a wild turn of events.
That Boone ejection was hilarious.  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2024 1:20 pm : link
Some dude in the first row barks at the ump and Boone gets tossed. Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.
...  
ilikethenygiants : 4/22/2024 1:30 pm : link
These umps are outrageous. I watched that whole thing live in disbelief. I get it that the ump thought it was Boone, but once it was made clear it's not Boone, he should have the humility/ability to change his mind and reverse the ejection. It's outrageous what these umps get away with.

It's like they need a total reset of attitude and understanding of their place in the game.
Haha that was some George Costanza/Elaine Benes kind of shit  
Stu11 : 4/22/2024 1:31 pm : link
I don't know whether it's such a small crowd or the home plate mic was turned up extra high, but we heard the whole conversation from beginning to end Wendlestat warned him one more word and you're gone. Boone put his thumb and hands up and signaled no problem. The camera stayed on Boone for like 15 seconds and it was clear he didn't say a peep then all the sudden Wendlestat was like that's it you're gone. MLB should definitely have something to say to Wendlestadt. Maybe Boone has a Passover Seder to get to so it will work out.
Rizzo sucks

yeah more and more he's looking cooked both at the plate and the field. Unfortunately we have to pay 6 mill to say goodbye to him at the end of the season. At least we won't owe Gleyber anything. At this point I expect the Yanks to be busy on the trade market this summer.
It pained me to bet on every Yankees under I could find  
AJ23 : 4/22/2024 1:41 pm : link
The lineup needs a shakeup just to get these guys hitting again.

In other news, this game may be over by 3. What a pace.
Ruocco is also crushing him  
Mike from SI : 4/22/2024 1:56 pm : link
on his strike zone lol. I like Ruocco so much better than Kay.
can't do anything against Sears

The offense has been pitiful. I don't quite understand why our record is so good, but I'll take it.
Still early but I was expecting  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2024 2:35 pm : link
better seasons from Rizzo and Gleyber in their walk years.
2 years into the new Judge contract...  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2024 2:36 pm : link
and let's just say the results aren't looking too good thus far.
This is pathetic.  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2024 2:42 pm : link
Six scoreless from Sears, hasn’t broken a sweat.
Watching on iPhone from Work  
GruningsOnTheHill : 4/22/2024 2:45 pm : link
with sound off. Isn’t JP Sears the guy they gave away for Montas? His pitch count is up to 90; they better hope the A’s bring in a reliever soon, because they can’t touch this guy.
Same Yankee offense we've had for years.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2024 2:55 pm : link
Either very hot or ice cold. No in between.
Ian Hamilton immediately gets into trouble

We've got no offense, the bullpen looks shaky,  
Mike from SI : 4/22/2024 3:13 pm : link
but starting pitching has gotten it done so far this game and recently.

Rodon was very good today for sure.
Scoreless through eight.

Pathetic loss  
BleedBlue : 4/22/2024 3:24 pm : link
As fucking stink. We have 3 hits

This team has the same hot and cold offense feel of yanks of last season
what a joke  
Jints in Carolina : 4/22/2024 3:26 pm : link

not scoreless any more  
Stu11 : 4/22/2024 3:27 pm : link
unfathomable that this team could go through 4 straight games and literally not have even 10 well struck balls. Feeble out after feeble out.
Same old story, this organization

Playing SMART baseball bunting guy over

Yanks didn’t tho…
I mean, what do you even say at this point?  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2024 3:33 pm : link
Can't score 1 measly run against the lowly A's? Aaron Judge continues to look like he's never played baseball in his life. I mean, what is the guy doing?

Yea he looks lost.


Hoping he has some magic in 9th tho
Volpe looked overmatched there.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2024 3:37 pm : link
Smooth move moving him in the lineup when he was red hot before the move.
Yankees' offense ineptitude starting to rub off on Soto, too.

Boones a garbage manager
Can we have a closer like Mason Miller?

Judge K's to end the game.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2024 3:40 pm : link
How apropo. Judge has to wake up at some point. He has been absolutely abysmal for a month.

I’m sure the A’s will trade him sometime soon. They have no use for good players.
Offense stinks again. Looks like 2023 again.

Shut out for the 4th time this year.

He just isn’t seeing the ball well.

Looks like total trash

Soto really is the only offensive threat on team rn
Pretty bad ...  
Del Shofner : 4/22/2024 3:42 pm : link
... hard to figure why. Got off to such a good start.
Pathetic hitting of late  
Crazed Dogs : 4/22/2024 3:46 pm : link
The Yanks can't hit their way out of a paper bag recently. 4 shut outs....Ouch. Judge just looks lost at the plate.
I thought Trevino should’ve bunted in the 8th.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/22/2024 3:46 pm : link
The issue isn’t even the usual lack of hitting with guys on base. It’s that the quality of the at bats are downright awful. It’s not as if guys are making hard hit outs.
Nothing has changed with Yankees: Poor Run Production  
Rick in Dallas : 4/22/2024 3:46 pm : link
Can’t produce runs without home runs
Have seen this picture before
What’s even worse this year is a shaky bullpen
At least  
Semipro Lineman : 4/22/2024 3:47 pm : link
the starting pitching has been very solid.
Setup guy throws 99; closer throws 102  
shyster : 4/22/2024 3:48 pm : link
That's going to be a problem.

Mason Miller's average fastball has ticked up 2 mph since last year to over 100 mph and is 100 percentile per Statcast.

As for Volpe, there was a clamor here for him to bat leadoff and, with Torres struggles, there really wasn't anyone else.
They set Volpe up for failure with that move to lead off spot.  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2024 3:53 pm : link
He was hitting above .400 when they moved him, so a slump was inevitable. Now it’s probably in his head even more.
And now the Yankees and YES crew  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2024 3:56 pm : link
can use the terrible Boone ejection to distract from the terrible performance.

IDK about that. He was just fine until the Blue Jays series. The same with Judge.

Yeah, I thought the same.

In three of the past four games—t’s a testament to their pitching that they actually won two of those.

I missed the first inning today, though from what I saw, the Yankees only reached second base once.
