Yankees 2024 Season

[SJU61982]

Stupid base running by Torres.

It's such a part of his game, that I don't even get mad about it anymore. Almost have to expect it, at this point. He's just not a good instinctual player. Gleyber being Gleyber.

But, I also don't think, in that particular situation, that it was wise for Soto to take second. There's two outs, so you're not staying out of the double play, and with first base open, you're probably taking the bat out of Judge’s hands. Then, they bring in the lefty to face Wells.

Now, of course, I would rather have that, then what we got, but the ideal situation would have been first and third two out. I think they would have pitched to Judge, to try and stop the go ahead run from going to second.

Basically, WTF was Torres thinking? 6 times he's been thrown out at home this season, of course, leading the majors. Was having a good night at the plate. Just not a smart player. Boone's excuse was ridiculous.

Flat night. Better get the game tomorrow night, or this gets interesting. Orioles give the Yankees fits.

Schmidt just OK tonight. Bullpen not effective.

Verdugo very frustrating. Stanton an absolute waste.

Boone's pitching decisions were bad tonight. Had a lefty up with Schmidt at a high pitch count, and paid the price with Santander. Then he stays too long with Mayza with a righty ready in the bullpen.

Torres gone after this season.

Gleyber Torres may be the worst baserunner I have ever seen. It's literally like he has a brain stem injury.

It's never easy....

Even Aaron Judge was not happy with Torres' base running, as expressed in his understated way:

While watching Mariners - Astros game this afternoon they mentioned Cortes having an MRI on his elbow today. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

7 hits in 2 innings giving up by Marcus. He stinks, we better not see him starting in the postseason.

He belongs in the pen.

That was not his fault. Only one error, but theire easily could have been 2 or 3 more. Most of the hits were on the ground, which is Stroman's game. And, I don't think he fits in the pen at all, for exactly the stat you mentioned. A starter can recover from that, and still give his team a chance. A reliever can't.

This is not going to be popular, but I wouldn't object to a starting outfield, against righties, of Verdugo in LF, Grisham in CF, and Judge in RF, with Soto as the DH. If you're close late, you can go to the big hitters off the bench.

The outfield defense is terrible. So bad, it makes you wonder if they can bring Soto back next year, from a non-monetary standpoint. Dominguez looks like he's only comfortable playing CF. So what will they do, move Judge to LF? Then that puts his strong throwing arm to waist.

I hate to say it, but if they resign Soto, they might have to deal Dominguez. I'm just not sure there's enough room in the outfield for all 3 of these guys, especially since Dominguez seems to only be a centerfielder, Judge is better in rightfield than in center, and Soto is a glorified DH.

Number 57 can’t overcome crappy defense and mop-up relievers.

 

[SJU61982]

Race for best record in AL is now down to half a game. That's getting too close for comfort, although we do hold the tiebreaker on that.

Did he recover though?

Did he recover though?

Not really, but in general, a starter can recover from that, and give his team a chance. A reliever does that, it's game over.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Nice seeing them playing great ball now, continue that in the postseason and we'll go far.

Not getting my hopes up though.

This is exactly why.

Beat the avg and bad teams, play bad vs. good teams.

Expecting the same ole crap in the post season, but for the best.

Yeah, aces usually do. Better get them in the 1st when they're rattled, otherwise you might get 1 hit for the rest of the game.

Marcus is no ace.

We have the best record in baseball against teams over .500 (57-38), but you can keep preaching that false narrative.

Now, they may be counting 6-1 vs Houston when they were struggling early, but then you also have to do things like take 2 victories from the Mets away from that, since they were under .500 when they beat us two games in late June.

Hey, it's begins next Saturday, lets see what they got.

Hope they surprise the crap out of me.
