Is that they need a better kicker. Way too many 6 run innings. Miss far too many PAT's

Tell me about it... I feel like I'm watching the Crimson Tide all over again. Why can't we get the damn kicker right?!

These guys just come at you again and again. They beat the living piss out of bad pitching to the point where even an average pitcher can't deal with them let alone a below average one.

I'm enjoying this team as much if not more than the 98 one and I never thought I'd say that about another Yankee team. I'm not jinxing them or anything, strictly talking about the two regular seasons.

The 98 one was so much fun to watch day in day out that season and damned if this one isn't right up there with it for me.

lol. I love watching TOR suck.

Me too. They were one of the most obnoxious teams when they had an ounce of success a few years ago.

Sanchez is out
Stanton is out
Torres is out
Yet we keep scoring runs

can Stanton be moved?

He does seem expendable if Tauchman is legit. And he seems legit.

Bautista, Donaldson, etc, but yeah, it's still entertaining to see them be this awful.

and let Cessa pitch the other 4 innings.

Save some German innings for later. He's on an unknown to the public innings count.

Between Bautista, Russell Martin, and the beer throwing douche bags, I won't feel bad if TOR never wins again.

If his innings are a concern then they should just get him out now.

Guys really struggle with his curve.

Definitely wouldn't mind that also. Most guys haven't pitched in a few games too, so bullpen is rested.

and only two hard hit balls that I can recall

It seems.

that would be a home run in Yankee stadium. LOL. Long out in TOR though.

I am 110% sure the staff is already cognizant of it - but they have to make sure that German is available in October. We absolutely are going to need him and can't have him hitting a wall when we get there.

I hope they skip a couple starts and do whatever they need to do to make that happen. Our lead in the division is growing by the day - we can afford to keep his innings suppressed. Especially when we have more available arms in September.

So he hits a homerun against us

His fastball is getting crushed

Maybin with an error

Get Cessa in there before this gets too close and we have to start using leverage guys.

Bad pitch selection against him going FB. They needed to just keep it off speed against him.

comes out after 4 runs. I didn't understand calling a fastball to bichette there after that swing on the breaking ball

?

with fly balls. Must be losing it in the lights.

And German with his prerequisite shitty inning after cruising all night.

LOL. It sounds crazy to even ask for Cessa.. but it looks like German is just running out of steam and I really don't want to see them get all the way back in here.

.

With the single! Gary who?

BLUE JAYS BABY!

10-4

3 hits for LeMahieu!

with the lights?

is so good...its crazy. Such a nice compact swing. Always makes solid contact.

He's struggling more than I've ever seen him.

Was just thinking the same thing and he looks dejected. He is missing almost every pitch he swings at.

It wouldn't be a huge problem

he locates that fastball.

Should have just walked him if he was going to pitch scared

Like we drafted the wrong Bichette brother. LOL.

Cessa... 1.11 ERA over his last 9 appearances.

Not too shabby.

Let's hope for more of that.

He has great stuff. Maybe he's finally put it together.

If anyone wants to question how legit this offense is right now, they have made Chris Sale their bitch. This team is incredible

upper cut in his swing. Looks off balance and off his back foot. It just does not look right.

And we lose Stanton for virtually the season and Judge is waving trying not to further damage his oblique. Love the winning but I really hate not seeing our best at their best.

how that ball got out

Juiced balls. Anyone can impact these baseballs.
