NFT: Rays at Yanks Game 2 Saturday (YES)

Mike from SI : 4/20/2024 1:38 pm
After 2 1/2 innings, 0-0. Nestor looks pretty good so far.
Nestor is nasty (and scoreless) through 5.

Judge looks absolutely horrible thus far.

Jahmai Jones looks just like Gleyber

These Aaron Judge at bats

are barely competitive at this point. Wonder if he has a DL stint in his future.

Yes, but until he does, his at-bats are getting pretty brutal to watch.

He looks like Stanton at the plate, when Stanton looks like shit.
Weird pitch sequence there, he threw  
LW_Giants : 4/20/2024 3:19 pm : link
nothing but fastballs the entire at bat.
Outside of Soto and Volpe (who's now in a slump)  
LW_Giants : 4/20/2024 3:34 pm : link
this offense remains dreadful.
Well that was awful.  
Mike from SI : 4/20/2024 3:34 pm : link
And we used some of our better relievers two days in a row, so they're probably down tomorrow.
Absolutely horrendous job by the offense today.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/20/2024 3:35 pm : link
Aaron Judge looks beyond lost at this point. When this offense is cold, it's ice cold. Like, residing in Antartica cold.

to suck. Awful pitcher.

Don't be surprised if Judge is hurt. He simply is not swinging the bat well.

I've been thinking the same thing. I think we'll see him in the IL soon.
Judge hurt?  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/20/2024 3:37 pm : link
Can't be. That never happens.
Judge looked great prior to the Toronto series.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/20/2024 3:48 pm : link
He looked terrible today, especially after Soto doubled.

Ferguson in high lev innings just doesn’t work. His stuff isn’t good enough.

Wasted a great Nestor performance.
This bullpen group  
Mike from SI : 4/20/2024 3:56 pm : link
might be the worst we've had in a while. The Loaisiga injury was huge. I assume that come playoff time guys like Gil and some of the AAA arms will be used. And Kahnle's coming back. But I still don't have a ton of confidence in the pen right now.

This. And despite Holmes 0 era I rarely feel comfortable with him, always makes it interesting.

Cash needs to get two better BP guys.

Still doesn't justify booing him.
Besides Soto  
Carson53 : 4/21/2024 9:25 am : link
where is the offense? Some of these guys need to wake up.
Even Volpe is slumping since he was moved to leadoff, not sure Boone had a choice there with the dreadful Torres.

Meet the new boss....same as the old boss.

if someone else wants to go for it. Sucks that they've only plated 1 run with all the guys on base, but I like that they're using up Civale's pitches.
The balk should be  
section125 : 4/21/2024 2:31 pm : link
expunged from the rules book. It is far to subjective. Too many contested and questionable calls.

Also, the catchers interference call on Trevino was silly. The ball was in Trevino's glove before the Rays batter swung at it.

I don't think you can completely expunge it because we can't have pitchers going nuts. But I think it should be way less strict. It's pretty rare that a balk actually deceives the runner (or anybody).

Yes, not totally. But when professional announcers, many former players, are confused it is a bad rule.
Maybe the bats will wake up now?  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2024 2:57 pm : link
We’ve had like two good innings in the past few days.

Keeping two on with two outs...no runs

Verdugo!

Big two-out hit set up by three walks.
And Trevino!  
Mike from SI : 4/21/2024 3:11 pm : link
Finally some clutch hitting.
Cabrera may

Now Trevino and Cabrera join the party.

Needed this rally. Get this rubber game and pound the A’s during the week.
There we go!

5-1 Good Guys!
Meanwhile, Gil  
section125 : 4/21/2024 3:14 pm : link
is pitching well again.(knock of wood)
Quality ABs

he got gassed there after the 2nd out.
Know it’s only been a few weeks

But anyone else besides me feel like Volpe been trying to do much at the plate since he was moved up to the lead off spot?

Probably correct.
They also moved Volpe to the lead off spot  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2024 3:33 pm : link
when he was hitting over .400, so he was due for a downturn - kinda set him up for failure with the timing of it.
Can’t stand getting beaten by trash like Rosario

freakin brutal....get ahead in the count and then no out pitch..
And Trevino

cannot throw.
So now Boone is

going to throw Gonzalez in the 9th?
Division Series Win!

What a last out that was, haha.
Good job by

Gonzalez.
Nothing can ever be easy!

Yes another series win in the division.
Series wins against division rivals are always good.  
Mike from SI : 4/21/2024 4:42 pm : link
Our record is good and nobody is hitting besides Soto. Plus when the games matter the bums in the BP will be replaced by studs from AAA. (Cashman is likely saving their options.) Things are looking good despite how frustrating this team can be.
I’d sign for this start and not think twice  
djm : 4/21/2024 4:45 pm : link
Nice series win. Keep it going. Guys will slump and guys will get hot. Judge will be fine.
