Big change near the top, with Aaron Judge getting the night off. On the surface, it seems like an odd move since he’s hit a home run in two straight games and Thursday is a scheduled off day for the club.
It would go much further to just be honest about what the vaccine does and doesn't do. People are less likely to be stupid if you aren't selling them on something.
Would have had one there if El Fatso ran hard out of the box.
Most frustrating Yankee ever. Maybe not as much as Ellsbury,but Gary is up there.
Gary owes Tauchman a steak after that one. That’s twice Gary was lazy on the bases tonight...he almost got thrown out at second on Gio’s single earlier on bc he was loafing. Inexcusable he wasn’t hustling all the way to second in the 8th.
He’s hit two rocket doubles tonight, but if Boone is any kind of manager he has to shred him for his lack of hustle
Yup as bad as that throw was, a major league 1B should be able to pick that one. But no excuse for Torres. I think FMIC may be right, Torres double clutching a lot on his throws, it’s getting mental
Once the guy cut it off in the gap, I figured there was no way they would send him.
that was a great play to cut that off in the gap. That relay by Galvis was pretty bang/bang to make that as close as it was.
Tauchman can move. His straightline speed is good, but his baserunning instinct from reactions to angles to judgement is elite.
Tauchman has better than good speed. He is pretty doggone close to Gardy in speed and on the base path. I still think Gardy is a touch better on both and Wade is damn close.
Torres screwed the pooch, but Bruce didn’t exactly remind anyone of Donnie Baseball there.
What's with the awful foot work by Tores? Is he waiting for Bruce to set up? Agreed, FMiC...Bruce should have had that...but a terrible delivery by Tores
Un fortunately, it sets everyone off when that happens. Bruce has to basically be prepared for anything instead of just focusing on digging out a tough one.

And of course, Frazier K's now
Steve Sax. If they don't get him off of short he will flame out.
Frazier has looked like shit flailing away at the plate.
Yup. And because he was moved to third on the first out, the infield was in and shifted, which allowed that bullshit nubber to fall in. I hate this crap
RE: For the record, starting every extra inning with a runner in second
Yup, I hope to god that this rule is gone next year.
Of all the dumb-shit rule changes, this is the one that I hate the most. It's as bad as deciding hockey games with shoot-outs. It isn't part of the game and it artificializes the most important part of the game.
and not just because they have two losses from this shit. It’s just lame and it’s not the way baseball is meant to be played. If they go to like 15 innings or something, sure. But come on. I hate it.
format. It levels the field for inferior teams. Was just thinking there is no way the Orioles get a guy to second against Green twice.
Yankees have to do something with Torres. His head is screwed up and it will only get worse. Every ground ball will be in his head. Three games in four he has messed up a throw on an easy play.

7-inning doubleheaders are also garbage. But yes, like the shootout in hockey (which I abhor), the extra inning rule is a solution in search of a problem.
I can live with 7 inning doubleheaders for one more season
bc there’s still the risk teams get shut down for several days due to Covid, and have to make up a lot of games down the stretch. But in the long run, definitely scrap that too
and not just because they have two losses from this shit. It’s just lame and it’s not the way baseball is meant to be played. If they go to like 15 innings or something, sure. But come on. I hate it.
More baseball is always better. I think the rule change to limit specialty relievers will bring down the number of extra inning games. That is more than enough of a change.
into baseball than I've been in years. I get they want to try to speed up a boring game, but this rule isn't the answer. I mean, I think even a 12 year old baseball fan can figure out that this rule isn't the answer. But Manfred can't?

I dontthink there is onething ONE THING Mamfred has done to make the game better. From his stupid rules, to adding playoff teams, to allowing the Astros off the hook, to the MLB All Star game chamge.... He is fucking dreadful. Bucked tooth slime that he is.
No evidence there of the rule leveling the field for inferior teams. I'd wait to see what the stats show for this full season before drawing any conclusions in that regard.
thing about the extra innings rationale was some horseshit about player safety.
Frankly, starting a runner on base every inning can lead to more injuries than just playing regularly. Lok at what could have possibly happened on a play at the plate with Gio. That's going to be frequent as players try to tag up or score on singles.
by El Gary last night, wow. That is brutal to watch.
Torres needs to get it together quickly here, they are pigeonhold with him at SS right now.
On to the Trop, not one of their favorite destinations.

It is supposed to save pitchers. There are no more long relievers anymore; relief pitchers go a couple of innings at most, pitchers are on pitch counts, teams use their closers in the 9th inning, and it is possible in an extra inning game to either run out of pitchers, resulting in the much criticized use of position players to pitch or force a pitcher go beyond pitch counts.

Nobody’s claiming the playing field isn’t fair to the Yankees with the guy on second, they lost last night bc they couldn’t get the big hit and bad defense cost them. just that it’s not real baseball to me

I do think that whether the rule does or does not slant game outcomes is a pertinent consideration.
But, sure, no one can tell you or anyone else that they should enjoy watching something artificial.

I’d missed that, touché. Big picture, we’re all just fans talking baseball with likeminded folks on a message board, I’ve got no problem with anyone who disagrees with me or has different opinions.
And I was admittedly a little cranky last night watching both the Knicks and Yanks give away games late. Such is life as a sports fan:)

Probably right that it does not help the inferior teams as much as I thnk, just I did not think the O's get a player on against Green in that situation.
And in the end, the Yanks failed to get Urshela home to tie the game with Santander make a good thrpw...
In his pregame press conference, manager Aaron Boone said Judge has some side soreness, hence a seat on the bench.
Aaron Judge sits, Jameson Taillon makes 1st start since 2019 - ( New Window )
Yikes
You are a real treasure. Miserable fuck.

Hes not only really miserable, but I have been calling him a dummy for years now. Wrong about everything.
He is obviously a sox and sandals kind of guy,but he probably introduces himself as Paul N when he meets people at parties.
The day after Gardy delivers a double and 2 walks from the 3 hole? you really need to pick your spots better man
You understand that Tauchman will never be as good as Gardner, right?
Another inning hitting Means hard. Gotta break through next inning.
Grooved a belt high fastball that time. Hope he can settle down, a little rustiness coming through
Yup--maddening.
Of course it doesn't help that poor Gardy has a fork sticking out of his back.
It would go much further to just be honest about what the vaccine does and doesn't do. People are less likely to be stupid if you aren't selling them on something.
Bruce ain't my 1B.
Now make it count. Drive him in.
Would have had one there if El Fatso ran hard out of the box.
Most frustrating Yankee ever. Maybe not as much as Ellsbury,but Gary is up there.
Great histle!

Respectfully, Ellsbury was never a Yankee.
That aside, super clutch hit by Gio and amazing base running by Tauchman, great play
Let's get at least one here.
Torres screwed the pooch, but Bruce didn’t exactly remind anyone of Donnie Baseball there.

And Jay Bruce is useless
And just as I’m typing, Higgy delivers!!
The throw had him beaten.
Oh, it is good stuff. Freakin ball falls off the table. He made one mistake to Higgy and Higgy got it.
He has great stuff, no doubt...but that’s kinda the point, Higgy was the only one to adapt and slash one the other way
Yup. And because he was moved to third on the first out, the infield was in and shifted, which allowed that bullshit nubber to fall in. I hate this crap
100%
And Gio is slower than I thought.

The Orioles used their last position player last night, so it is possible this ridiculous rule will have other impacts.
So did your mom the day you were born.

Why not just use Babe Ruth rules? 10 run Mercy rule after 4 innings. 2 1/2 hour limit (I gave an extra 1/2 hour for the 2 inning difference.)
