NFT: Mariners @ Yankees 8/3 1:05 PM No Judge

.

The immortal SAM HAGGERTY is starting. Doomed!

I fucking despise getting beaten by trash players

Best lineup...

Sucks to have to sit the red hot Trevi but it's a day game after a night cap and it's hot out there, so I get it... standard practice.

Maybe if I keep talking shit about Donaldson's place in the order, he'll keep hitting.

the next Yankee fan target of hate, Benintendi or Donaldson?

Hicks is working his way back into the mix. His wRC+ has slipped back below league average (99), his numbers with RISP are ghastly.

Hicks' last 52 plate appearances, he's batting .200 with a .508 OPS.

Yes but I have a feeling with the addition of Bader, we are going to be seeing much less of Hicks going forward

Eventually and ideally, yes... but Bader is still a ways away.

My guess is we're not going to see Bader until mid-late September. So, we have to deal with Hicks a while longer.

That said, Stanton should be close... which allows us to go with Benny/Judge/Stanton in the OF a few times a week and keep Hicks on the bench.

Originally, I was looking at Stanton's return as an opportunity to bench Donaldson more. Might need to do it with Hicks instead.

Beni will be given time since he just got traded.

just waiting for the day when the Yankees have no more scapegoats for us to post about and we will be forced to turn our hatred on other posters which will initiate a purge like spree of uncontrolled violence on this website.

I'm calling dibs on being shotgut on Greg From LI's posse right now before anyone else can get that spot

.

sure hope he's not one of the cant-play-in-NY guys. He needs a good game to get him going .

Hicks stinks again

1 hit last 23 abs and only 2 walks. Man this guy just disappears at times. When you think he's starting to figure things out. Nope.

He played in Boston and played just fine there, and the pressure in Boston is just as much as it is in NY. He'll be fine

Even in the late 90s, people were calling into WFAN bitching about Yankees deficiencies (back then it was LF, iirc). The purge is a long ways away. But I doubt you guys can find me in BK anyway :)

rival exec on #Yankees getting Bader: "when the boot comes off he will be the best defensive centerfielder you've seen in pinstripes."

in 2023? They say SEP, but we've all seen how plantar fasciatis can take much longer.

Off day tomorrow is probably why Judge is not in the lineup.

very very close to a deal for Lopez. He said at one point they discussed Gleyber in the deal and that Volpe wasn't in the deal but he wasn't sure exactly what the final offer was they were close on. Man that would've been incredible

I would have loved Lopez in the rotation.

…

and dropped him this week. He has been awful this season...until the last 2 games against the Yankees, of course.

Maybe Cole should consider not taking 45-60 seconds between pitches.

Cole shitting the bed nice and early today. Hasn't recorded an out... another HR allowed and in a 3 run hole.

He's giving up WAY too many long balls.

.

.

losing Monty will be the least of our worries. This is a fucking joke.

Another HR allowed. What the fuck is wrong with this guy.

some Spider Tac.

Bum

boo the shit out of him.

this guylike fucking sucks at this point.

My god do we need more starting pitching this offseason.

We pitch like this we wont even make it to ALCS

about running errands instead of watching this game.

What a complete fucking joke.

6-0 in this match-up of "aces."

He absolutely sucks today. Good thing there's an off day tomorrow because the bullpen is going to need to go about 8 innings.

All the fans should get their money back for this garbage.

More HRs allowed than outs recorded so far.

jeebus.

Not even going to bother, honestly. I've switched over to the fucking Twins/Tigers game because it's too early in the day to be this aggravated.

This is embarrassing

Just not getting the consistency we're paying for. Way too many home runs, and a lot of them to below average or flat out bad hitters. You live with Devers getting him, but Jeter Downs a few weeks ago, Kelenic and Santana just now, lots of examples. These are guys hitting well below .200. It's not acceptable right now

Last year it was Gary’s fault. Now they’ve switched catchers and will probably switch back. Enough. The guy has Ace stuff without Ace balls.

who repeatedly bashed Montgomery, Cole has been far more inconsistent and disappointing this year. Even more so when you factor in the money.

Maybe Bader could’ve run those lasers down.

I kid, I kid.

You don’t trade pitchers for a light-hitting defensive CF, period.

Look, I don’t know Bader froma hole in the wall. But, 1, is he coming back healthy this year, 2. Is Boone going to play him over Hicks, 3. our pitching staff is crumbling due to injuries and regression, why trade pitching for someone who may not play a lot or at all?

For every 1 game he shuts teams down, there are multiple stinkers in between. He’s also given up Multiple leads they gave him.

He’s not a #1

No one decent can get lit up like that without something being wrong.

If Gerrit Cole doesn't pitch like an ace, it literally doesn't fucking matter where Jordan Montgomery is. We're not going anywhere.

Cole has to be better than this. Period.

He needs to stop being a fucking baby/pu**y. The rumor is he likes to use the back-up catcher because he spends days before his start preparing and likes his catcher to help him (and the starting catcher is naturally focused on the pitcher that day). Enough with the baby shit. You use Trevino and you get him for one day.

He’s just soft. He threw a 3-1 curveball to the second hitter with a man on first with no outs. Unless the number two hitter is Judge or Trout, throw the ball 100 MPH and stop nibbling with bullshit. Of course he walked the guy and gave up a HR a few pitches later.

I know it’s the dog days of august and all, but come on. Is a true ace really going to spot 4 runs to this lineup?
