NFT: New York Yankees @ St. Louis Cardinals - Game 1 - 8:15p

arcarsenal : 8/5/2022 5:19 pm


Nestor night in St. Louis. Yanks have been scuffling a bit and could really use a strong series this weekend.

Take 2 of 3 and I'm good with that.

Cortes. He was really struggling .

Agree with Flats here on just blow the guy away. Sometimes the Yankees catchers get cute. If the batter cannot catch up to the FB, don't speed up the bat with a change.

Just like 2 change ups to get behind 2-0 to O'Neill. Got behind and gives up the hit.



If one hit is struggling then oh boy id take alot more struggle from our staff


He was all over the place. High pitch count, but he did have the 5 pitch 4th(?). 83 pitches 48 strikes and 35 balls with 4 BBs.
I am sure they are protecting the arm too.
How the hell was that

ball 4 to Molina? That was well inside the box.
Hopefully that gets Benintendi going

They have 3 runs. The offense isn’t exactly carrying the load.
Holmes is kind of following  
section125 : 8/5/2022 11:27 pm : link
the Chapman pattern. Looks good on entering the game and then loses his control the longer he pitches.

I was thinking the same thing. This loss is on basically everyone besides Nestor.
We had nobody to hit for Mr 0-30 leading off the 9th???

They're slowly but surely falling apart.
Base running was also a train wreck.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/5/2022 11:43 pm : link
Cards score 2 on 2 out double… Yanks don’t. Yanks have TWO terrible basepath outs.

Walks by pitchers killing damn near every time.

I’m not going to go crazy, but they don’t look like an elite team right now.

Yeah they'll have to keep waiting. I'm not given to hyperbole but there can't be too many guys in baseball with a worse approach and more warped view of themselves. We're a week into August and he has all of 6 hrs yet he's still trying to pull every pitch and hit everything 480 feet when there's 8 friggen guys on the right side of the diamond. We need Mr Miagi to come in and do his danielsan all valley karate rub his hands together shit on Bader's foot pronto.
Well, we no longer have the best winning percentage in  
Jim in Hoboken : 8/6/2022 8:08 am : link
baseball, at this rate Houston will overtake us in AL also.

Certainly no time to panic but maybe not everything this team does is perfect. Maybe the resident experts can tell us why we should still expect a parade down the canyon of heroes.

Coming off this historic start, I don’t want any excuses if we finish with a whimper.

Hicks fucking sucks and should not see the light of day. I’d call up Peraza to replace the punchless IKF.
Hicks and IKF are terrible.

Both have to go after this season.

The only thing I care about is October. Not interested in good or bad looks. With that said, we need to protect our lead, even as unlikely as it would be to get caught, you wouldn’t want this to get too much lower and have to feel the Rays or Jays making a run at it.
IKF is what he is. I’m not particularly disappointed with him,  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/6/2022 8:59 am : link
although the defense hasn’t been as mistake free as I hoped. There’s a replacement in AAA, but I struggle to recall Cashman bringing up a rookie to play full time at this point of the season on any good Yankees teams.

Outside of a 7 game stretch, Hicks has been absolutely awful. He’s been “They need to stop playing him altogether” bad. Hicks has just 20 XBHs the past 2 seasons in over 450 plate appearances. To give you an idea of how awful that is, IKF has 16 XBHs just this season despite having zero HRs or triples. The problem though is without Stanton or Bader combined with Cashman’s unwillingness to play Florial, the only other option is playing Aaron Judge in CF and Carp in RF everyday. My goodness… THERE’S STILL THREE YEARS LEFT ON HICKS’ CONTRACT!!!!!
Our offense is really just Judge, and when Rizzo/Stanton get hot, and  
Jim in Hoboken : 8/6/2022 9:14 am : link
lately DJ. That's it. We can't count on Judge to hit 2 HR's a game in the playoffs, something needs to be done to inject some life into the lineup. I swear half the lineup is just up there guessing and putting up totally non-competitive AB's.

Hicks needs to sit, maybe we have some podiatrists on here who can work on Bader so he can return ASAP. IKF should be relegated to the bench. Torres should be told he's going to be Starlin Castro'ed next if he doesn't get his head out of his ass. Benintendi is looking like a prepubescent Gallo right now but it's very early. God willing Donaldson goes on a run this season.

There have been numerous examples of young players, not necessarily prospects, coming up in the past and injecting some juice to the season. Peraza needs to be that guy.
Just a bad loss  
Carson53 : 8/6/2022 9:46 am : link
all the way around, they wasted a few opportunities earlier in the game (especially Torres striking out twice) with men on base...
then Holmes blowing the lead late. He needs to get it together, his confidence must be shaken at this point a bit.
If Peraza comes up  
Carson53 : 8/6/2022 9:48 am : link
it will be in September, with a few others as well.

Some fans LOVE Torres. I've been ready to move on. He's too high and low of a player. At 23 maybe he'll grow out of the boneheaded mistakes, I don't see it happening. Would have been ok trading him for Pablo Lopez if its true he was asked for.

With Peraza and Volpe playing very well I actually think he's gone this offseason. Coulda sold high at the deadline lets see how he finishes the season.

No, teams will be limited to 28 players now, IIRC. No more 40 man rosters in September.

Shame is for the 4 batters he looked like the old Holmes. He overpowered their best hitters. Losing O'Neil at 1-2 was the killer. O'Neil looked overmatched and then got bailed out with the walk. St. Louis scored all their runs on 2 out hits where they simply went with the pitch and didn't try and do too much. We could take a lesson.

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.
