Today is August 1st, with the Yanks 6 games back in the lost column.  
How many games left with Boston, TB, and Toronto?

7 with Toronto, 6 with Red Sox and 3 with Tampa Bay to end the season. Also have 4 left with Oakland who we are chasing for 2nd wild card.

Ugh, what a bottom 3rd of the lineup today. Does Boone get paid by the lineup combination? No wonder this team struggles sweeping series. And on the subject of it's always something with this team, now German is on the IL.

 

[section10]

for the 2nd al wcard spot. loss column - 47, 48, 48, 49. oak, nyy, tor, sea.

Remind me to bet the under next time Montgomery pitches.

game 103.
another nail biter.
another wiiiiiiiiiin by the new new york yankees.
the newbies all helped - rizzo, holmes, rodrgiuez
yankee starters are on fire.
what is worse - the marlins sticks or the marlins infield defense?
stanton has shown he can handle the outfield. today showed he can run as well.

Holy crap, a sweep!

Yep, I think I heard that Gallo's in the 32 percentile for strikeouts. With Rizzi potentially coming, can Cashman pull off the deal of the  century and find a place for Stanton? I just don't see any of this solving the issue with this team going offense-less so often, and the inability to win consistently in Cole's starts, among other flaws. 

The Yankees have the 11th most K's in MLB this year (918)
Do you know who is first?  Tampa Bay (1,021)
Other teams ahead of the Yankees are Brewers (3rd), Giants (7th), Phillies (10th) and Dodgers (12th just 2 K's behind Yankees)

All playoff teams.

The K's are overrated.  It's part of the game.  The GIDP is the biggest issue.

And stop with the Stanton talk.  He has a no trade and is going nowhere.  Wasted breath even mentioning him and trade.

K’s are totally unproductive. Put the ball in play, something may happen.

Clearly that lack of productivity hasn't effected all the playoff teams with more K's. 

Did I see on the news that strikeout king Stanton hit a ground ball in the 8th inning that was booted, and a DP averted, and the Yanks scored a run? That would not have happened with a strikeout!

Season just keeps getting better and better. 
I’m never buying anything made by Johnson and Johnson again. I think drinking bleach might have been more effective than whatever batch of JJ the Yankees got 

Oh and Gio to the DL too

After a bunch of trades and a weekend sweep, the New York Teasers were at it again tonight. How do you mail it in against a really bad team and a worse pitcher? And now Cole is out for a while? So Heaney will continue in the rotation. Can't be losing any games to teams this bad. And what is up with DJLM?

We go to one game a year.  My son wanted to see Gerrit Cole pitch.  So just yesterday I bought tickets for tomorrow night's game.   I freakin' hate Covid!

I bought for tomorrow expecting Cole too, but I go to a lot of games, so it doesn't bother me too much.  Besides, Cortes has been the staff ace of late.

My question is:  what is going on with this team, and COVID?  They reached the 85 percent threshold in April, yet guys are still going down.  This isn't happening on any other team.  Not at this rate anyway.

They better find a taker for this Heaney guy after the season.  From what I saw tonight (granted, just one game), he gives up way too many fly balls to ever be successful here.  Similar to Phil Hughes, we'll look foolish if we keep him, and foolish if we let him go.  But, I think we're going to have to let him go in the off-season.

As for DJ, don't say I didn't warn you about giving this guy a 6 year contract, although I certainly didn't expect year 1 to be this bad.  He seems to have lost the ability to hit line drives, and when you take that away from him, there really is not much left.  He can't leg out ground balls, and while he plays 3 infield positions, he's not great at any of them (which is probably why he plays 3 positions).  That doesn't leave much.  Also, how many times in the last two years did he come up in a big spot, and hit a weak ground ball that went through the infield like it had eyes?  That was bound to turn at some point.  That being said, we are probably at the point where it should be turning closer to the other direction, but it still isn't.

Meanwhile.....why is Nestor Cortes allowed to keep his porn star mustache?  Did the Yankees relax their facial hair rule?
