I'm not sure I have the words to describe this f*cking loss, and the weekend series loss to yet another mediocre team.
You could tell from the get go that Cortes did not have it today. Even the outs were hard hit. Boone said Cortes pitched with some bad luck? WTF?? Then the bullpen absolutely implodes after making their way back into the game. I have said Kahnle is a one trick pony with the changeup. Was the plan in this series to let the Cardinals hit every off speed strike for a double or homer? Who made up the pitching plan for this staff? Horrible advance scouting.
Once again, this fundamentally pathetic team made one mistake after another. I counted at least 9 critical ones. How the hell does Boone not get killed for this? He doesn't seem anywhere near as concerned as the fan base. As always, he gets a pass. It has gotten worse every year on his watch!! Horrible plays by Volpe, Verdugo, Bickford and obviously Soto. Soto was just atrocious. Defensive positioning maybe?
Judge continues his funk. It's 6 or 7 games now. When it happens in the playoffs, he will never be considered in the same regard as those that have succeeded in the playoffs before him.
A struggling offensive team awaits the Yankees on the Rangers. They are averaging less runs than every MLB team with the exception of the awful White Sox. You can be sure they'll get healthy against this current, atrocious pitching staff.
Not one player and the Idiot Boone seem concerned about their poor play. Well, their poor play is about to put them in 2nd place.
Let's see if our ace shoes up tomorrow night.
