Riddle me this: How many runs will Warren give up before Boone takes him out?


 How deep of a hole will Will put us into?

How many runs will Boonebrain leave him in for?

Will Will inspire Boone to field his lamest lineup?

Can our crack bullpen staff give up even more runs than Will?

Will Clark Schmidt ever return to save the Yankees?

Will Verdugo go 0-4 while Cabrera gets splinters?

Can Volpe win the Goldtone Glove?

Tune in to the next episode!

Same Batshit time (for home day games)! 

Same (or at least one of the several) Batshit channel!

  1. Thanks JM. Fully expect W2 to get lit up like a Christmas tree. I’ll in for 5 runs. Cabrera at first. Team’s tired of eating rice, seems like Lizzo will be here tomorrow.

    1. Gleyber Torres, 2B
    2. Juan Soto, RF
    3. Aaron Judge, DH
    4. Austin Wells, C
    5. Jazz Chisholm Jr., 3B
    6. Anthony Volpe, SS
    7. Trent Grisham, CF
    8. Alex Verdugo, LF
    9. Oswaldo Cabrera, 1B

  2. I don't know that Grisham for Stanton is a fair trade.

  3. Too many runs.
    Schmidt tossed 3 scoreless innings for SWB last night in a rehab start.
    TM is 0-7 but still hitting .293 at AAA
    Trevino's ERA after last night is 9.00
    Efross's ERA has dropped to 3.75, about 1/2 what it was a few weeks ago.
    Durbin is killing it at SWB, hitting for average and power. He should be up and all the Oswaldos back down.

    1. Gosh, AA! I got the idea from Alfred! It's important to be honest.

  6. Warren will go down with all the Ca$hman greats, The Killer Bs, Joba, Phil Hughes, Dertrick Ens, Ian Clarkin, Brandon Claussen, Chance Adam’s, Ian Kennedy (no wait he could pitch) you can add Chase Hampton to that list because he’ll be out of baseball in 2-3 years. This doesn’t even get into the trades for pitchers.

  7. I read the Gil Patterson article online the other day. I remember him. Just a tragic story, but he's been a fantastic coach for over 40 years.

  8. Like a cold beer on a hot day, we go down quickly and easily in the first. Hope it’s not gonna be another day game phone-in job we’re famous for.

  9. Volpe has the yips! I'm serious.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Verdict on Vertigo is his confidence is shot at the plate .

    ReplyDelete
  11. The last four times a ball was hit to Volpe he clutched.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Warren living down to expectations. They basically punted this game by starting him. Please let this be the end of him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. That’s not great news, Doug. Hey - at least verdoogo can still throw

    ReplyDelete
  14. That’s the worst swing I’ve seen Soto take all year. The pitch was way up and out of the zone. Something is going on.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I guess it's already been pointed that people pay money for these games: the same amount that people pay for the games they don't programmatically lose.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Four so far. Warren is still in there, right?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Looked like Grisham held up on that swing.

    ReplyDelete
  18. So Warren gave up 4 runs in 4 innings. His ERA is now 9.55

    ReplyDelete
  19. Three runs shouldn't be insurmountable, but these are the Yankees, remember.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The incredible disappearing offense.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Leiter has a lot of strikeouts, but it's what happens between them that's the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  22. In his last 7 games Leiter has an ERA OF 7.20

    ReplyDelete
  23. Game over. No effort out there.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Judge in a mini slump. Leiter? Bad is normal.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Did Volpe's fielding issues start after he got hit in the head going into second?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Strange that the platoon manager never gives Volpe a day off. This team baffles me, or as Jimi once sang, "it makes me wanna get up and uh, SCREAM"!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Stanton has a rep as one of the worst PH’s in MLB

    ReplyDelete
  28. Stanton!!

    Please stop badmouthing this guy.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Cabrera with his head up his ass

    ReplyDelete
  30. Paulie: “…so many good things are happening. If the Yankees had played good defense, they would have won this game.”

    Thanks for the insight. If you were playing today, you’d be breaking water coolers over this one.

  31. Do these guys have a come from behind win? I'm sure (kinda) that they have, but I just can't seem to remember... Let's face it, this team lacks a killer instinct. Maybe it's "Mr. Nice Guy" Boone's demeanor, I dunno. But SOMETHING is missing and I wouldn't necessarily look at cumulative talent as the culprit. This team has really curbed my enthusiasm...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Lack of urgency, surfeit of forgiveness.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Cabrera on first now. I don't get it. It really is an unending spring training. It is the very end of August, and this team is still playing as though it needs to get everything straightened out.

    Torres should hit the bench, and stay save for rare appearances. DJ, sadly, should be gone. So should Vertigo—outright release his sorry ass. Peraza should get some games to try to take shortstop from Volpe—and maybe wake him up. Put Cabrera on third and keep him there. Let Chisholm alternate between center and second—AND BRING UP THE FUCKING MARTIAN ALREADY! And yes, Carl Weitz, the Whirling Durbin, too!

  34. As Pocono Steve points out, it's ridiculous the Yanks concede games like this to nothing teams, while still charging everybody the full freight at the door. If, say, Broadway theatres put up signs saying, "Hey, we haven't really finished casting this play yet, so the people playing major roles may be total bums," the whole street would shut down in two minutes.

  35. Max Goodman reports: The Yankees optioned Ben Rice and Will Warren down to Triple-A SWB.

    This clears the way for Rizzo and a pitcher. Could be a reliever until Warren’s spot when it should be Schmidt. Gil a possibility if healthy. Dominguez? Let’s wait and see.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It won’t be Ian Hamilton, who is experiencing back issues, which the team is vague about as usual.

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's not an organization you can trust. Why would we put our hearts, souls, dreams and hope into this team? Asking for a friend.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Roosters expand tomorrow - perhaps we’ll see more tail feathers

    ReplyDelete
  39. Many. Warren sucks like those running the show.
