NFT: Yanks vs A's 4:05 Time to snap this losing streak

I guess now we'll see what we've got with this group after their first setback of the season

this week on the organization deciding to start Chad Green last Sunday (when they'd brought up Domingo German to start, so they could give Tanaka an extra day of rest) and completely frying the bullpen for this whole road trip. 5 of the 6 losses were by one run and basically because the pen couldn't get it done. Hopefully they've learned their lesson and won't get cute like that again. That was a decision that lacked a ton of foresight. We won that battle last Sunday, but damn did it cost us this week.

Ugh.

Can't get home fast enough.

We owe them a beating.

is more important than anything that happened out West. Fingers crossed.

Could be onto something


Also I fell asleep but the game warren wasn't available and we lost Sanchez and hicks at the same time was a punch in the gut as well.

1 week ago today we were on such a high from destroying the O's

- Clippard lost 2 of the games on his own (nearly lost the only game they won on the trip too).
- Sabathia got hurt, which drained the pen.
- Warren got hurt, forcing them to rely on kids.
- Monty, Pineda, and Tanaka just didn't pitch well.
- Hicks and Sanchez get hurt, which shortened the lineup.

Thankfully Chap looked good, so they can skip Clippard altogether in certain situations until he gets himself back on track.

to bring up a couple of kids. Headley's awful and Gardner's getting an early start on his second half nosedive, while Wade has earned a promotion and Frazier is knocking on the door. Once we get through Sanchez and Judge in the order, I get pretty bored.
