NFT: Yankees @ Rays 5/13 GDT 7:10PM

could be an adventure out there, but go Yanks!

lose your Sh*t in April..

That way if the laptop tells them to sit Voit they could at least DH him. There's just not enough offense right now to keep running out that steaming pile of shit Ford. You have to love what we've done the past few weeks especially the pitching but younhat3 ti give games away in a tight race.

He'd been vaccinated and also had COVID during the off-season. Sounds like he, and all the Yankee positives, are symptom-free.

With wrist soreness.

unlucky player in MLB...

Really hoping for offense with Miggy at 3rd. I'd start Wade at SS to reduce the chance of errors.

means he has to sit out 10 days, even if assympomatic.

long season dontcha know.

Miggy keeps getting chances to flash. I hope he can step into that spotlight.

a fucking bloop.

is the problem. And Boones lineups are ridiculous

Of course.

to not watch.

Ford is useless at the plate.

Why is Voit resting when Mike Ford is batting under .100 and a lefty is pitching?

have warning track power now.. I do not see the snap he had two years ago.

Two nights on concrete after returning from knee surgery. Those things swell easily if you do not watch out.

FB first almost every at bat and them BB after..

It is only about a 1% difference in distance from the reports I read earlier. It sure isn't 20 ft.

turkey in the staff and Taillon appears to be it.

are throwing BP fastballs in the middle of the plate.

really not helping himself.

time for some thunder.

sure is one crafty lefty. We sure as hell can't hit him either.

Taillon spot in the rotation.

He isn't a starter anymore after his 2 TJ surgeries

I think he has shown enough to think he might get back. He needs to locate better and that would be as much an issue in the BP as it is in the rotation.

What we need is a damn lineup that plays like the expect to win. I haven't felt that with this team for 3 years.

off of shitbag Rich Hill, it doesn't matter how well any NYY pitcher does. I know hitting is down league-wide, but this is pathetic.

Wonderful.

the more I know something has to tilt in favor of bat on ball. Watching this many strikeouts is fun. Period.

Definitely right about that. This offense is just atrocious.

The great pitching recently and Stanton hot streak has covered up just how shit this offense has been all season

Watching strikeouts is fun? Huh?

awful good stuff to be on the SWB shuttle.

Taillon is the weak link in the rotation. You can see he has good stuff. O'Neill is probably right, just wait out his control issues. Yeah, he is a #4 or #5 pitcher. Need those kind - mid 4 era, eat innings, give the team a chance to win. He is probably there to throw until Severino comes back and then he can split time while Sevy builds back up and gets his command and control back.

The hitting is the problem right now..

Laughable he is batting 6th with his .095 batting Average

Chris Gittens on the 40 man be that bad? Is Gittens that bad that he isn't better than Ford?

ladies and gents!

Don't bother PHing Voit. Is he hurt? He can't play 1st for the last four innings?

I'm sure Poon will answer all the hard hitting questions from Meredith after the game.

looking really good.

hit 97 on the gun?

Annoying, but given that Voit is just back from knee surgery and the players all complain on how hard that field is on the legs, it is not unforgiveable to sit Voit. It sucks, but I understand it.

If only he had a mid 4 Era. Right now he is at 5.40

He has only pitched longer then 5 innings 1 time in 7 outings. This is why i question if he is still a starter anymore. Maybe he will figure out soon but he is definitely the weak link in the rotation right now

It takes more than 7 starts after two years to gain your command and control.


And that ladies and gentleman is that. Hasta la vista.

7-0

Fun game to watch. Love this offense

German and Kluber missed just as much time as Taillon and they are getting better and better as the season goes on while Taillon hasn't shown any improvement at all

that was some 3rd strike call on Frazier.

Yeah he has. Just had two good starts in a row.

German was not injured and Kluber was one of the best pitchers in baseball before being hurt. Big difference in both cases.

feeling any heat from Wilson. Not part of a solution in 2021.

gave up 4 runs. That's a bad start but not a catastrophe. He's trying to reinvent the way he pitches. He's been good at home and bad on the road. Let's see where he is after about 10 more starts.

Less than a hit an inning so far 33 IP 32 Hits and 43Ks 8BBs. His problem has been that 8 of the 32 hits have been HRs. Plus he's stuck pitching to Sanchez which doesn't help.

Games like yesterday happen in the regular season. Sucks to watch it but it's just one game.

The bigger issue right now is that last nights lineup had these 5 batting averages in it at the bottom of the order. How can you win games like this?

Sanchez .197 - He should be the back 2 games a week or less
Ford .095 - Nice story but get him off the roster
Frazier .141 - Talk about spitting the bit
Andujar .000 - No glove and injuries have made him worthless
Gardner .182 - Mistake to choose him over Tauchman

I'd say taking 2 of 3 is a major success.

Taillon had the one inning where they were hitting rockets off of him, but he looks better and better to me.

in the Trop, they were out of this game early.
Hey, they won a series for the first time in 2 years down there though! It might be time to send out Ford,
they are getting zilch from him, and if Frazier doesn't pick it up soon...
Left field has become a black hole for them so far
this season. Maybe they make a move at the deadline?

especially a 1-0 battle, I wasn't surprised to see them shit the bed in the final game of the series.

.

I am not that impressed with him, too many mistakes with his secondary pitches if you ask me.
He is their weakest link in the rotation right now.
He also needs to use his change more than he does. He did throw a bad one to Meadows that he took out of the park.

but we still somehow took 2 of 3.

The rest of the rotation has been showing lately. Might just be the long injury layoff. Let's hope. Frankly if the rest leepnit up he's fine as a 5th starter.
