If the IBB was management decision, well, that's baked in. They're idiots. But if the Cy Young ace just decides not to compete against a guy who has had some success against him, then melts down completely...that's an enormous problem. That's nervous breakdown, put him on anti-anxiety meds, don't leave him alone stuff.
This whole game changed the moment Cole signaled for the walk on Devers.
I just hope the whole season didn’t pivot on that. It’s like we went from “We have the defending Cy Young winner as our ace” to “we have a gutless head case as our ace.”
The captain is a hero in a pennant race September game against a rival. The next day, the ace leaves us all wondering whether he's merely a self-involved emotional weakling, or has real psychological issues.
"It's baseball" doesn't do justice to the 2024 Yankees.
This was the revenge for the long winning streak I was on before last year’s meetup. I was riding I believe a nine-game winning streak, so I can’t bitch too much. And I got a cab after the game, so that’s something.

Hate seeing all the empty seats in Millionaire Row.
Guess they’ve been priced out
Or at the Wall Of Candy that Hoss spoke of.
Hopefully we start hitttttin’
The Intern is going to sign Gleyber to a five-year deal for Christmas
Each run is a like a miracle
How did Vertigo not get to second on that hit? Did he stop to admire it? Or is he that slow?
Interesting choice that intentional walk, followed up with the steal of second base
He’s that slow.
Greetings from the first-base-side seats, everyone
Slipped when he rounded first. Might’ve been an allergic reaction to his cleats
Where exactly?
Section 213 …. and why the fuck was the intentional walk about. That strategy really paid off
Ugh - look what happens when Boone starts to think.
Colace.
Michael Kay just said that that inning was not for the DVD. Golly what a talent.
Hey, maybe they’ll intentionally walk Devers again! Why not?
HaHaHa - Cold Head Case Cole vs Devers the Magnificent
I think maybe the Yanks' ace is a head case. Maybe.
Ya think?
So weird

He already is on meds - they’re going to have to increase his dosage
He hesitated for something
Ace my ass.
This one’s over. Time to go out in the late summer sunshine,
Glad I recorded the last Indiana Jones movie. It's not great, but it's better than this game.
Just got home. No Star Cole showed up…
ranger, this was bizarre. Concerning, on a human level. An elite professional athlete just had a nervous breakdown, in game.
We have systemic problems from top to bottom. To co-opt an odious term from this latest and greatest Gilded Age - we have generational problems.

Jesus, this is still going on? Enough already.
Hey Bern - shame that you had to experience this wretchedly rancid display of ineptitude. How would you summarize the overall experience?

A brutal game. It’s the intentional walk and its aftermath sucked the life out of the whole stadium.
Bern, you really took one for the team (us here at IIH, IIF, IIc
