Nice to see them win a few in a row.
Boone would have never

allowed you to go three nights in a row....
A sweep would still mean very little...  
PA Aggie : 6/10/2021 4:54 pm : link
While it would be a step in the right direction, and we needed the Twins as a 'get right' team, it still doesn't correct all the failure from the past few weeks. I still can't get past all of the fielding errors, hitting (lack of), and especially mental mistakes.

Boone and Cashman are still on the hot seat, and will be all season. IMO, a deep run or title is the only thing that will save one/both.

But I will still be tuned in, go Yanks!
quite surprising how bad

I'm surprised Stanton is playing

He had to run around the bases TWICE last night! Be careful out there, for God's sake!
You know Happless is good for 2 hits over 7 innings tonight

Yes. That is exactly what I had in mind.

Because he has the right to catch the ball
confusing rules  
RasputinPrime : 6/10/2021 8:28 pm : link
are bad rules.

He was literally trying to block the plate with his body. Urshela slowed down because he didn't want to destroy Happ and was out because of it.
Urshela's knee has to be  
section125 : 6/10/2021 8:29 pm : link
still has to be bad. He was never this slow. Should have had the inside the park HR and easily should have been home on the WP.

He was literally trying to catch a low throw to the plate. The ball was in the dirt.
Another asshole pitcher

that gets ahead 0-2 and then shakes off the catcher to walk the Creep on 4 straight pitches.

his stuff sure gets lit up. He isn't locating early.
King

He looks scared. Why isn’t he ready to pitch in the first. He’s about to give these runs back
Caught a break there.

Only 5,000 more to match the low strikes on Judge.

really not loving the season he is having. He is blocking Torres at 2B, doesn't have enough pop for 1B and isn't a great defender at 3B.

No pop is a perfect description. Just not driving it at all.

Is that every single player that leaves the Yankees just HAS to grow a beard or some other facial hair. No matter how ridiculous they look. Happ looks like a clown with that gray ass beard. In the middle of summer no less.

You certainly showed those Yankees!

As much as I wanted him signed, and I remain hopeful that he won't be an expensive bench piece by 2022, the regression isn't good.

What's wrong with a beard in the summer?

And why is it somehow a fuck you to the antiquated Yankees no-beard policy? Sorry, but that's a weird take.
King wanted no  
section125 : 6/10/2021 9:22 pm : link
part of Cruz. Cannot blame him, but the ball 4 slider was the right pitch, but way over thrown...

Smart move to pitch to Larnach instead.

He is the only regular who hasn't show an ounce of getting himself back on track. He was statistically very lucky last year when his barrel rate dropped dramatically. It is dropping further this year and unless he makes some changes to reverse that, he will be an expensive bench piece by next year.

By next year we will have Peraza and Smith pushing for a spot.

Beard is what it is. However, I like the "antiquated" policy.

Play him at his natural defensive position and get back to me. 3rd, 2nd 1st - all over the place picking up the slack for terrible roster selection. And you're complaining about hitting and calling him a bench player next season. Ok, professor.

Nothing wrong with it. Just something I noticed over the years. Happ has been in the league forever, I don’t remember him ever having a beard. Ever. Though I could be wrong. It’s just something I’ve picked up over the years when players leave the Yankees.

Apparently you have a beard. I’m guessing hiding that hideous mug of yours. Beards cover up a lot of blemishes, B! Sorry to upset your sensitivities. Beards are cool, man! Is that better? Now go shave that beard and send us a pic of what you REALLY look like!
