You know, I think that—as somebody here said—Doval may have been the real disaster in those deadline trades. Bednar seems to have some cajones. Bird is another bit of Cashie's wishful thinking, a guy who a simple perusal of the stats would have revealed is just not good, anywhere.
Doval is...an idiot. Comes in, starts getting behind batters, gets a perfect DP ball to get out of it—and throws that away. Then, backs up home after Altuve's hit, pegs the ball down to third when it's too late to get anyone. We're just lucky that didn't sail away and score the tying run.
Once again, Cashie has acquired a ballplayer with no inquiry into his game smarts or intestinal fortitude. And it shows.
I take back what I said about Bednar. How the fuck do you walk the tying run in there? Did they pinch-hit Ted Williams? And yay, he does his little clap and dance at the end of the season. Yes, you did not actually put your team behind, asshole.
And here's more of our crackerjack lineup. How is it that Ben Rice—2 HRs, 7 RBI since June 24th—cannot be challenged for his spot in the lineup? Volpe, down to .219 and falling, his power spree apparently over.

Losing time, too…
ReplyDeleteBases loaded, no outs. Stanton.
ReplyDelete1-1
ReplyDeleteVolpe kills the rally.
ReplyDeleteOf course.
ReplyDeleteGil is back.
ReplyDeleteJM - you are !
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait for Williams to get the call….
ReplyDeleteStanton, RBI. Second one.
ReplyDeleteAA, only if the game is close & in the later innings. Gotta be sure the moment - I mean, pineapple - is ripe.
ReplyDeleteBullpen bringing the gnashing of teeth and lamentations of the fans this inning.
ReplyDeleteI am well past lamentations. I will scoff, I will lambaste, I will excoriate, I will vituperate - but I will not lament.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Hinkey.
ReplyDeleteSo, for once, Boone stupidly tries to get the extra out from his starter...and gets away with it. Mazel tov. Still a long way to go, though.
Amazing what bad hitters we have. Wells now down to .209. Chisholm at .237; he has 2 HR, 6 RBI, 9 walks and 28 Ks over the last MONTH. Oy.
ReplyDeleteWas never a fan, TBH
DeleteCashman is a Professional Incompetent. He just did what he does best. Worst? Same thing.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Think. And Hoss, I'm always amazed at how bad our hitters are, collectively. It's astonishing we have even a .500 record.
ReplyDeleteHink, not think. Fucking fuck fuck.
ReplyDeleteDon’t worry, JM. I don’t often get accused of thinking so it was nice to see.
ReplyDeleteWho needs Williams to blow games when you have Douval?

I think it was Doug K. who called that, come to think of it. Doug, as usual, you knew your stuff.
ReplyDeleteYankees give away outs like Halloween candy…

ReplyDeleteWTG Bednar!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can every fucking trade at the deadline go south like this? On paper this was all great…
ReplyDeleteIsn’t that why the Yankees think they’re successful? They care more about paper than performance.
ReplyDeleteI take back what I said about Bednar. How the fuck do you walk the tying run in there? Did they pinch-hit Ted Williams? And yay, he does his little clap and dance at the end of the season. Yes, you did not actually put your team behind, asshole.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hoss. Now watch Dotel throw Domiguez under the bus after the game when the fault is his.
ReplyDeleteGrisham!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd here's more of our crackerjack lineup. How is it that Ben Rice—2 HRs, 7 RBI since June 24th—cannot be challenged for his spot in the lineup? Volpe, down to .219 and falling, his power spree apparently over.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
ReplyDeleteThat was a relief—especially after there was yet ANOTHER mental mistake with Grisham taking ball three.
ReplyDeleteWhen the mistakes and misplays are so frequent, it's hard to figure out which ones are normal and forgivable.
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteThuuuuuuuuuh Yankees win!
ReplyDeleteThat was a big Yankees win.
ReplyDeleteAll right, well, give Bednar his props. But yet another game full of ridiculously bad play, and very little hitting.
ReplyDeleteI went to the game, and it wasn't a debacle! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Steve.
ReplyDeleteHad they blown this one, Boone’s seat would’ve gone from red-hot to white-hot.
ReplyDeleteBig HR. from Grisham, who might be our most clutch hitter this year.
Giants beat Buffalo, Dart was ok! The Giants and Yankees may not win again on the same day this year.
Also nice start by Gil!
ReplyDeleteThe big winning streak begins!
ReplyDeleteOh SNAP - did I TOTALLY miss the game ?
DeleteAndy Pettitte in the booth with Suzyn and Dave called Grisham's HR in 8th. He willed the Yankees to victory. Just like old times.
