section125 : 8/6/2017 1:11 pm
Another clown lineup today. No Sanchez at all. Sevy has his work cut out for himself vs Carrasco...

How good a glove is Clint Frazier?  
nyjuggernaut2 : 8/6/2017 1:14 pm : link
Wondering if he can maybe play CF going forward. Hate having Gardner DH and taking away his gold glove from the field, but would much rather have Frazier in the lineup than Ellsbury.

Not sure he is a CF. He looks in limited time to be a decent fielder with a strong arm.
Any line up with Ells is weakened...
Crazy as it sounded 2-3 weeks ago  
bigbluehoya : 8/6/2017 1:22 pm : link
Frazier back to AAA when Hicks returns is probably the right move, IMO.
If Ellsbury  
MookGiants : 8/6/2017 1:26 pm : link
simply got back to the wall first and then jumped, he catches that ball. He's brutal
aaaand as usual Yanks down 1-0  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 1:27 pm : link
Don't worry- Joe has the solution to or hitting woes. Put out the shittiest lineup possible.
Severino throwing way  
section125 : 8/6/2017 1:29 pm : link
too many pitches.
Hey Carrasco so happy you showed up like this Tuesday  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 1:37 pm : link
When they gave you 5 runs to work with in the 1st inning vs. the Sox...
One of those team-wide slumps  
bigbluehoya : 8/6/2017 1:52 pm : link
Where scoring 2 runs seems like an insurmountable hill to climb, and it's the 4th inning
The ineptitude of this offense is frightening at this point  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 2:02 pm : link
The O's are pounding a Tiger's staff that dominated us Tuesday and Wed. As I mentioned the Sox pounded the Indians for 2 days. Judge is completely lost right now. This is 2016 Judge for weeks now.

Double down the line for Aaron Hicks in his second AB.
Judge is seeing the same two strike pitch  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:04 pm : link
and is not adjusting at all.
You hate to say somebody's  
section125 : 8/6/2017 2:05 pm : link
head is up their ass, but Judge's is. Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcoming. Two at bats, two strikeouts on sliders low and out of the zone.
Hey Aaron  
bluesince56 : 8/6/2017 2:06 pm : link
Don't you see what there doing to you? Breaking balls outside for third strike. Try thinking up there!

This is the same hitting slump that they have been in for about 5 years, except in small doses.

Its really bad. I almost feel that they should get someone to just throw him sliders in BP just so he can reacquaint homself with how they look when they are diving outside. He looks completely lost is right. Samchez too.

Does anyone coach these guys?
I mean how often in the 4th inning do you say  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 2:16 pm : link
we can't fall down by 2? That may have been the ballgame there if they scored 1 godamn run.
per ESPN, Sanchez is benched because of his defensive lapses recently.  
Del Shofner : 8/6/2017 2:24 pm : link
He will start again on Tuesday.

Maybe Joe can teach him a defensive lesson when we are scoring more than 1 or2 a game...
Romine hits like a pitcher  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:30 pm : link
and isn't even good defensively. Girardi is a moron.

Maybe stopping a few pitches will keep them in a game and prevent prolonged innings.
This isn't just disgusting to watch.

Somebody get a fucking big hit already.
Sevy

continues to be a bright spot this season.

Kyle, every article, every coach says Romine is a good defensive catcher. I have never seen anything that agrees with what you say. Either come up with something proving your point, or can it. It is getting old. Yeah he's not good at the plate. We get it. Black hole like Ells, Frazier and a few others.
Give me a break with this  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:37 pm : link
This defense narrative has gotten out of hand. Romine just failed to block a ball because he tried to backhand it. I don't see anybody ranting about how lazy he is.

The team can barely scratch a run across, and we're putting a nothing player who can't hit into the lineup so we can send a message in the middle of a playoff race. It's unacceptable.

Joe's affinity for catchers that remind him of himself (can't hit but try hard) has gotten out of control.

don't tell me to can it. He's thrown out 14% of runners this season (awful). His catchers ERA it was posted the other day is a full run higher than Sanchez's, so the idea that he calls a good game isn't supported. And he's nothing special at blocking pitches, as we just saw.

Happy?
Ginger!  
bceagle05 : 8/6/2017 2:40 pm : link
Second and third, hold your breath.
Look, I apologize  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:47 pm : link
if I'm harping on this too much. But Sanchez is a big part of this team's present and future. He has certainly struggled at certain aspects defensively this season. But he won't get better sitting on the bench. And the net value of Romine coming in I don't believe is worth benching Sanchez for in a playoff chase.

But I'll drop it now.

Come on Chase, we need a hit
one in  
superspynyg : 8/6/2017 2:48 pm : link
tied at least. Now Frazier with his whopping 207 avg
At least Frazier  
section125 : 8/6/2017 2:53 pm : link
has figured out the pitching pattern.
Jacoby!  
bceagle05 : 8/6/2017 2:54 pm : link
With help from the right fielder.
Ellsbury off the wall  
RasputinPrime : 8/6/2017 2:54 pm : link
for a bases clearing triple. Man we needed that.

4-1
Jacoby gets the bases-clearing triple  
dpinzow : 8/6/2017 2:54 pm : link
and knocks out Carrasco
ELLSBURY!  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/6/2017 2:54 pm : link
FINALLY.
ELLSBURY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!  
superspynyg : 8/6/2017 2:54 pm : link
anything to get him off this team.

Seriously he came through there. Yanks up 4-1.
Huh???? a rally?????  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 2:55 pm : link
forgot what that looks like. Figures Ellsbury and Headley get the job done...next Romine will hit a bomb.
That is a weak play by Almonte in RF  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:55 pm : link
But I'll take it. Good for Ellsbury.

T. Frazier struggling but I at least appreciate that he will take his walks. Good AB there, even with a weak call by the ump
Yea Frazier's AB was excellent  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 2:58 pm : link
never got 1 pitch to hit. LIL Ronnie goddamnit I love that guy!!!
TOE!!!  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/6/2017 2:58 pm : link
Adds another.

:)
Scary for Frazier there  
dpinzow : 8/6/2017 3:06 pm : link
Dustin Fowler got hurt on a similar play
What a season for Sevy.  
bceagle05 : 8/6/2017 3:10 pm : link
Didn't even win a game as a starter last year, now...this.
nice shut down inning after the rally  
Stu11 : 8/6/2017 3:11 pm : link
Sevi is the ace right now.
Sevy is a pleasure to watch  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 3:11 pm : link
could not be more excited for how he's thrown this season.

Nit picking, but he needs to be more efficient. maybe stop with "waste" pitches. He's been 0-2 and 1-2 several times and got to 3-2.
He's a weapon on the mound. Would like to see him stay there an inning or two longer.

No question. And if they do have to play the wild card game, he'll almost surely be the top pitcher in that game. Unless the Indians lost the division and were throwing Kluber, something like that.
Severino's ERA now down to 2.92  
dpinzow : 8/6/2017 3:13 pm : link
One of only 4 AL starters with an ERA under 3 (Paxton, Sale, Kluber)
Good point, section  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 3:14 pm : link
he's got the stuff to just go right at guys with two strikes. Almost like he's trying to make that perfect swing and miss slider and he's missing a bit. But can't complain otherwise.

A laser beam to the opposite field
Finally took  
section125 : 8/6/2017 3:21 pm : link
it the other way.

All Rise!
OK maybe things are getting back to some semblance of normal
