Yea some guys were playing over their heads in the first half but never expected this type of regression. What a horrid stretch for the hitters and even the bullpen
Definitely in a bit of a free-fall this past month or so. Yikes. Entire team is in a daze. I think this team has reached it's peak with Judge as the face of the franchise. If they give him anything close to a decade long contract; they are nuts.
Some key injuries on offenses, some guys on major funks. The pen has had its difficulties. However this is baseball. They play every day for 6 months. Unless you're the '98 Yanks or '01 Mariners you're gonna have shit periods and slumps. Nobody plays .750 ball for 6 months. The new guys in the pen have looked sharp. Hopefully we get Stanton and Rizzo back soon and the starters start giving us more length. Montas hasn't thrown a pitch for us yet. We'll be fine. It was always gonna be about October any way no matter how we were doing right now.
...hahahahaha! This team is going nowhere. Enjoy your one and done playoff series with this awfully constructed team, designed to win big against shit teams in the regular seaso . Butts in seats against the scrubs. Dazzle the lookyloos with an array of HR power when it doesn't matter. Go team.

Thank you for some perspective in a sea of frustration-colored irrationality.
Naturally, there's going to be a big to-do about Monty shutting the Yankees out yesterday, but trading him was even more validated in my eyes after yesterday.
He struck out one hitter. He nibbled all game long. Gleyber bailed him out of a potentially disastrous first inning (Torres has been awful this series, BTW) - and labored through 5 innings. His stuff just will not play in October. He's a 4 inning pitcher without a putaway pitch.
Beyond that, the lineup the Yanks put out there yesterday was horrendous. We basically had 4 auto-outs in the bottom half.
Rizzo is probably going to be out another day today. Stanton is still out. Hicks literally does not have one hit in his last 32 AB's - which is almost harder to do than luck into one. Higashioka is a black hole. Torres has been pretty bad recently.
Peraza looks like a service time thing at this point, so I think we'll see him, but not for another couple weeks.
Have to salvage one today. Montas is going to be limited to around 70 pitches.
I think we're going to see Schmidt back up once he's stretched and a move to a 6-man rotation of Cole, Montas, Cortes, Taillon, German, Schmidt until Severino returns.

Monty labored through five innings, the Yanks had two hits?
The only way he labored, was his cramps in the heat...
Monty threw 83 pitches and generated just 6 swings and misses against a lineup that featured a bottom 4 of Aaron Hicks, IKF, Tim Locastro and Kyle Hiagshioka.
He struck out one batter.
That stuff does not play against postseason lineups in October.

That may or may not be true, to say he labored last night
is absurd, he always pitches to contact, that's who he is.
I would have liked the trade more if Bader was actually healthy, but he is not, that part doesn't make sense to me.
We have to continue to watch people like Hicks 'perform'.
Judge had 4 meatballs to mash on that 9th inning AB, when he's
Torres has no business, none, batting 4th, even with all the people injured. If Peraza proves semi-ready later this year, Torres should be traded this offseason and DJ can man 2B until Volpe is ready. Like someone said, Torre is lesser Sanchez 2.0. Look how we stayed with Sanchez all those years, made every excuse for him, now see how good this team looks this year with someone else behind the plate.
Hicks shouldn't see the field at all. What a disaster of a contract. Glad we haven't called Gardy back from his bingo games, but it remains to be seen how the Monty trade works out.
I'm glad Boone continues to feel the need to rest people and give games away down the stretch.

Absurd how? It was 100 degrees and Mike Maddux literally wouldn't take his eyes off him in the 5th inning because they were nervous about leaving him in there.
what the hell was Boone doing pinch-hitting with Benny late in the game...Just to clarify, Boone started Locastro presumably
because they had a lefty on the mound. When he sent Benny up to pinch hit, there was still a lefty on the mound...
Somehow he thought Benny was a better option, even though
he hasn't lefties well all year, and also hasn't done shit yet for the Yanks...That's our Booney for 'ya.

Sure did. It was a furnace on the field. Mike Maddux didn't take his eyes off Montgomery for one second the entire 5th inning because he was nervous.
I guess that always happens when pitchers are coasting...
.
Sure you're right...I guess he didn't cruise the first four innings then huh? He allowed two hits, if not for the cramping in the 5th, could have given them one more too.
Did you see a lot of hard contact off him, I didn't.
The way they swung the bat, couldn't have broken a chandelier in a hotel lobby. LOL.
He cruised in the 1st inning? He needed over 20 pitches to get through it. He was all over the place. Torres bailed him out with a DP ball.
.
German needed 32 pitches to get thru 1st, your point is?
He made it thru 5.
We have never ever seen pitchers struggle in the 1st inning.
I don't know, also three days prior, Monty was on the other team, now he is pitching against them. Just might have something to do with it, quit while you're behind there arc.

Who said anything about German and why is that relevant? You haven't made one single salient point here. You're just... typing.
First, you said he cruised through the first 4 innings. Then I pointed out that he had a rough first and your response is "we have never ever seen pitchers struggle in the 1st inning"
And what does him being on the team a few days ago have to do with anything?
I guess when you have no actual argument, you just declare yourself the winner of the argument. Lol.
how can they defend sending Marinaccio down over someone else to clear a roster spot? I know he has options, but he's also been amazing and there are guys who have been less than stellar. Fuck options. We need results. Just DFA a guy like Luetge.
3 pitches in and the umpiring is already a disaster.
The Yanks were the beneficiary of 2 of the worst I've seen all year that inning. Ball one to Judge was the worst I've seen all year. That pitch wasn't even on the border. As much as we complain we get screwed, that inning we got the better half.

Definitely, it goes both ways. It's horrible to watch.

True
Aaron Hicks with the speed of a pile of mashed potatoes
The HP Ump looks like he’s about to pass out. I’ve watched plenty of CB Bucknor, Joe West, and Angel Hernandez over the years and this is the worst umpiring I’ve ever seen.
Carp strikes out looking on another pitch well off of the plate.
In the history of shitty umpiring we're witnessing a hall of fame performance here today. I mean the MLB office needs to get on the phone and pull the plug on this fool. He literally gave the Cards 5 strikes that were clear balls that inning.

All true. We’ve seen some shitty umpiring over the years, but that may have been the worst half inning I’ve ever seen. At least 5 clear balls were called strikes
We could always come back but I'm too fed up right now to enjoy my Sunday. The ump, our shitty pitching, the Cards scoring every godamn run they have this weekend with a 2 out hit. The Yanks will be ok but I need to cool off lol.
Cashman must have photos of the Steinbrenner family. 12 years and counting.
They have to move on from this guy. Still can believe this guy is signed on this team till 2025. Who thought that was a good idea?
Monty with huge revenge...
