Hey Judge? Hit that damn home run already..........
Judge is getting nothing to hit because these bozos are afraid to be #61 and they know he is going to crush anything heat or hanger they throw.
I wouldn't mind being 61. Ralph Branca made another career out of giving up Robby Thompson's shot heard round the world. I wouldn't just lay one in there, but if he beat me, he beat me. Good on him and I'm the answer to a jeopardy orvtrivia pursuit question forever.
Judge coukd give us two...
Rizzo with a shot to the wrist.
Cmon Torres.
Never easy.
only 85 pitches and doing well...
They put Bader in CF - defensive purpose.
I thought Taillon pitched well, I just felt like Boone stayed with him too long.
Huge DP for Lou.

Revising my dislike for Trivino..
Yes his 4 seamer was way up out of the zone and breaking balls in the zone. Was getting a bit tired so not driving through the pitch.
Now get a couple more tack ons to make it easier
Does he stay with Trivino for the bottom of the 9th?
That's the first order of business. Especially now, with the new format.
This was the deepest, toughest division in all of baseball this year and it wasn't a debate.
Next stop, October.
Problem with having a team with so many young players is the nonsense we saw on the base paths from TOR. Just inexcusable shit, but good for the Yankees.
How did Judge fall behind 1-2 each PA, then never see another strike? Especially on 3-2 counts???? Shits ridiculous. These division rivals really don’t want to see him do it against them.
I may be dining on some crow on Trivino. That seemed a comfortable 9th against the meat of the order. Don't mind be wrong there.
Supposedly DJLM coming of IL tomorrow - Peraza sent down???
Time for a half dozen guys to nut the F up or it won't be a long October.
I want to see Peraza stick with Cabrera. No reason we have Gonzalez kicking around with the clubhouse already full of vets. I'd like some guys that can play.
Three weeks ago I would have said no way. But, they started to hit. Got Rizzo back. Torres decided to go with the pitch and Cabrera filled a big hole for Hicks empty bat. Bader makes the OF stronger, but they need his bat to come around and it should as this is mini spring training for him.
The BP seems to be stabilizing. Holmes has looked better as has Loaisiga. Effross is back, and yes Trivino looks good. Wandy was sent on vacation(his turn). If Briton can be Britton that is a huge add to he pen.
Sevy is back and looks good. Only Cole seems to be a problem with the gopher balls.
They can beat anyone not named Astros and if they get healthier in the next two weeks the have a chance.
IMHO
Well, Cabrera said so himself. Needs to take more fungoes out there. But a healthy Hicks in the OF is a good thing. That throw to second to nail Vlad Jr was a beauty. Good to have 4 healthy MLB OF'ers.
If Bader is truly the best defensive CF in baseball that is something(even top 3).
Big win for you tonight Jints. adamg almost got us there last night, but you closed the deal. Well done.

Agreed. I think closer will be a committee. The bye will help guys get healthy too.
Miggy Andujar had a bases clearing double off the top of the wall in his second game in PITT.

I'm cool with rolling with the hot hand.

Thank you sir!
I am not holding my breath there, but we'll see.
They need to try and determine some roles in the bullpen,
would like to see Holmes get it together for the postseason!
Vlad, Jr. tries to play hero ball too often on the basepaths, I have seen him get thrown out numerous times in his short career. Hicks threw him out by at least 10 feet, third out of the inning as well trailing by 3 runs...you're right, he can be a little annoying. They are a cocky bunch.
Can they field a team tonight?

wish I could have seen his face as Yanks celebrated on the field after his chest beating the other night when he got the game winning hit. Hes a great player, but cant stand his hot dogging and chest beating B.S.

Yeah can't say that inning where we threw both him and Bichette out at 2b wasn't very satisfying. Can't stand Bichette with his helmet always flying off and that stupid Duran Duran hairdo.

Section, I would sit Judge tonight, then they have a day off on Thurs. as well. Then the Birds come to NY for 3 games.
If Boone doesn't sit him, he will most likely DH?
Yep, pet peeve of mine.
I think Britton is going to make it. I know some of you are not Britton fans - too many Wetteland type reliefs, but the guy is a competitor and been there and done that. Needs to have plenty of work to regain control to be effective. When and if that he gets his control back, he absolutely is a candidate for 8th and 9th inning time. Should make an appearance every third game to work.
Somebody needs to figure out what the heck is going on with Stanton. He is a total mess. At this point Hicks would be an upgrade. I thought that the GS against Pittsburgh was the start. If he does not start hitting, they may as well leave him off the roster and put DJ as designated hitter. As bad as he has been at the plate, at least Donaldson has gold glove level fielding ability that he can provide.
