NFT: Indians at Yankees GDT 8/15

Judge was late on a 91mph pitch from Plutko.

he gets umped. The giant is lost right now.

foul by a couple feet. Ugh.

Everyone is on Pluto today except Judgey.

Judge missed a nothing fastball. Gio saw it so quickly he was out in front of it and hammered it.

Gio is totally locked in.

...

...

...

110 mph directly at the 3B.

What a wasted inning that was.

but just 1 run to show for it.

BABiP taketh away.

the lasagna floweth.

i'm out.

9-1

buttplug with 6rbis tonight.

.

stepped away for a bit and already down 9-1. Looks like an early night

Let them get it all in tonight.

Turn out the lights?

Wasn't that also a line from a Donna Summers' song?

Turn out the lights sweet darling for tonight is all the way.

Or was it dim all the lights?

What gives?

The opener/bullpen routine has been working great for the Yanks, this is the first time I can think of that it’s totally bombed.

And Didi is having a game. He could use a hot streak too.

Fucking embarrassing

dont @ me

I can't believe how inconsistent our pitchers have been this year.

Love winning but we aren't winning post-season games with this team unless our stars get healthy. Judge with another brutal game.

LMAO. RP joining the loser crew.

Chad Green was the only real pitcher in this game. And he blew it. This was a joke. I hope no BBIers had tickets.

The first rule of Loser Crew, is to mutumbo your finger at fellow yankees fans.

You do recognize the possibility that fans post emotional responses to shitbag games?

Is a ridiculous overreaction. But have at it. I guess that's something I should just not call out...

I think it's fair to call them out.

It's a 162 game season. There's bound to be some bullshit games. Have a sense of humor about it.

No surprise here. This team was going to come out this way especially since they lost 2 games straight to that shady ass Boston team. Also you can see that Boone knew it and put all they shitty pitchers this team had lol. Nevertheless I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad, so it’s a very concerning how bad some of this pitching staff is. Anyways hopefully the Yanks can take at least 2 games from this series, I’ll be fine with that.

Looking at the box score, Ford didn't do much (if at all) worse than the regular pitchers in this one.

Shut the fuck up.

This team has been amazing this season. It’s completely reasonable to knock morons who know want to complain and cry like the sky is falling.

So, seriously, shut the fuck up with this stupid, moronic bullshit.

with a team that was 40 games over .500 is quite comical.

We got destroyed....shit happens.

Didn't see it. Could give two shits. Better to get crushed and shake it off, than blow a close one and the "what ifs" start. A good ass beating sometimes is a good reminder that there are other good teams in the league.

Good teams have bad nights. Great pitchers are off some times, so good ones can be excused on a bad night.

New day, new game....

during/after a loss and then never see those same posts/posters during the win streaks. Jesus Christ you people suck.

we are going to lose around 60 of them. Fans that think like this are a disgrace.

Lol... and the usual suspects predictably re-appear.

Amazing. One fucking loss is all it takes.

The Astros just lost to the White Sox twice in a row... but who cares. Only the Yanks aren't allowed to lose.

Like clockwork

Something else happened in 2009. Can't recall what it was at the moment, though.

It doesn't matter if you lose a baseball game by 1 run or 20 runs. It counts exactly the goddamn same. We let Mike Ford pitch last night after letting Adams serve up a bunch of meatballs... it was a game we just needed to get through and forget about.

We were like 12-1 in opener games going into last night. Green didn't have it. He's not perfect.

Some of the expectations here are just lunacy. God forbid the Yankees don't win every single night....

Exactly. Not a hard strategy to grasp. Game out of hand early, send out a couple sacrificial lambs, save big bullpen arms for the rest of the series.

Last nights game represents smart managing by Boone.

You're already into the pen in the first inning. Do you blow through your better relievers to try to stay in a game in which you're already in a deep hole, or do you just call it a night and move on to win game 2?

Who are you? Have you ever posted on here before? The air up where you live must get real thin.

not much to talk about with that one, I bailed early.
Lets see if they can split the series now, they miss Bieber
in this series, looks like an ace in the making.

you were belligerent on this thread because it was a blowout. You post like this team shouldn’t ever lose, talk about air being thin.

He's always been a dolt.

The 1927 Yankees ( 110 and 44) lost 14 to 4 to Detroit and then lost 6 to 3 the next day. The next day they won 19 to 5.

They also lost 4 in a row this time in August of that year

Was 1927 a good year for the Yankees? I forget.


The 1998 Yankees once lost 3 of their first 4. Lost 5-16 one time and went 5 loses to 4 wins mid way through the season.

Was 1998 a good Yankee team? I forget.

It happens.

Missed the Indians 7-run first inning. Got to my seats in the bottom of the 1st...

Still saw 12 Indians runs.

It was 22-4. They actually had a 2-0 lead after the first....and then Cleveland scored [b]14[/] runs in the second inning. Similar scenario as yesterday: Wang got shelled and had allowed 8 runs in the inning while recording just one out, so to save the pen Girardi put someone named Anthony Claggett in the game, who allowed 8 runs himself in 1.2 innings.

Claggett made only three MLB appearances, ending his major league career with 11 runs allowed in 3.2 IP for a 27.00 career ERA.

Good to hear, Fekker. Enjoy watching the not-Mets in the playoffs!

Better to lose big than lose a gut wrenching game that should have been won. Move on....it’s just one loss. I’m sure Dodgers fans aren’t crying over their lopsided loss, 13-7, to the Marlins last night...so why should Yankee fans? 162 games...it is bound to happen.

Disclaimer: while not a Yankees fan (Mets), I’m rooting hard for Yanks to beat Astros in the playoffs, so I am following more closely now. I didn’t like hearing “everyone” say “you might as well hand the WS rings to the Astros” after picking up Greinke.

In a 162 game season games like yesterday's are inevitable. While the Yankees were having their clocks cleaned the Dodgers were getting torched by the Marlins. Chad Green didn't have it an Lasagna may have been called up too soon. The only thing thats important in these games is to save the bullpen. The only one I'm pissed at is Chance Adams who is becoming increasingly useless. The only thing a mop up relief pitcher has to do in that situation is eat up 3 or 4 innings. If he gives up 4,5 or 6 runs, who cares as long as he can stay in the game. But Adams couldn't even do that.
