Great job by the Yanks letting the Red Sux, Blue Jay's, Athletics and Mariners back into the wild card discussion, while distancing themselves further from the Ray's. Show what happens when you play like shit for a week and then throw out the BS lineup they did today.

Big break for the Yankees, with Robbie Ray pitching for Toronto on Sunday. It meas that we won't see him in the upcoming four-game series in the Bronx.

Moose,
I’ve watched some games/innings since the field of dreams game.
I disagree with your desire to stay with Chapman. He’s not back to where he should be. Control is awful. He looks like he tries to pitch away from contact. Why do the Yanks have so many injured pitchers? Manager, GM, pitching coach, player?

He hasnt been good since June. Prior to that he was unhittable. Then he had a fingernail issue and some thought sticky stuff. He's your closer however end of story. Britton would be next up and he's hurt after he was horrible. Green has had just as many stinker moments as Chapman. Lasagna has been arguably the best reliever in baseball but likely more valuable as a 2 inning bridge guy. So then what does that leave exactly? Peralta has had some good moments. Luetge reliable but closer? Chapman is the guy and you bring your closer in a game thats tied at home in the 9th.
Yankees injuries are in line with the rest of baseball. Every day I turn around a guy is hurt. Pitchers weren't meant to throw this hard this much. Welcome to baseball in 2021.
Right now this pitching staff is really bad, with the exception of Cole. How the hell does Boone say that Heany's stuff was good? As mentioned yesterday, Peralta has hit a wall. What's the sense of having Kriske on the active roster if they're afraid to use him? Get someone up here that can help this struggling bullpen. Imagine what the bat-happy Jay's are going to do this weekend against thus staff (hopefully Cole is his usual great self). We need starters to get into the 7th inning. And, by the way, they better get a real SS in here next season. Torres lackadaisical play was a killer today.
Taillon and Cole pitch the next two games.Delaware post=438760 said:
IMO, that back-to-back pairing needs to be broken up, somehow (I know it's tough with 20 straight days). They're the only two guys who give us innings (Cortes does to, but to a lesser extent). You can't burn the bullpen out three days in a row.
And Heaney should only be entering games that have a run differential of 7 or more.
