Definitely a winnable game. Taillon 67 pitches 1 run But this lineup. WowWell Boone's decisions with the bullpen tonight sucked. Schmidt had nothing, lucky to get out of one jam before giving up the 2 homers. Montas has been awful. Why was Taillon taken out so early? And this lineup? 17 STRIKEOUTS!! Donalson continues to be awful, and Carpenter was 0 four Ks. Have to get out the bottom of the Cheaters lineup to have a chance to win. Winnable game off the board.
Agree. Anytime we face Verlander, my first thought is "don't get no hit' and then, "we got a hit, lets see if we can score". We did both of those at the same time.Tough to expect them to be on top of their game for game 1. Late flight. Celebration. Verlander the next day. Shocked we only lost 4-2. Today's game is the getable game in houston in my opinion.
I'm glad to see Stanton is not playing the field. I would like to see Donaldson benched. It makes sense to have Bader lead off. He is very fast and has been hot lately,YANKEES:
Bader CF
Judge RF
Stanton DH
Rizzo 1B
Torres 2B
Donaldson 3B
Higashioka C
Peraza SS
Cabrera LF
Houston:
Altuve 2B
Pena SS
Alvarez DH
Bregman 3B
Tucker RF
Gurriel 1B
Diaz LF
McCormick CF
Maldonado C
Ground hog day with these Yankees. same old story.This. Team. Just. Can't. Hit.
Pitiful. It's always about the lack of hitting with this team. The pitching is plenty good enough to win a championship. I've been saying it all year long. They can be pitched to.
Carpenter overmatched. He had his time, but it has passed. But he's not the only one to blame. The line is long. 30 strikeouts in 2 games. Absolutely atrocious.
