Now THAT was a great catch by Bellinger !
Damn, I thought it was an 8 PM start! Well call me a Severino.
I'm sorry, but it unnerves me to see Judge looking so nervous.
For your drinking pleasure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzVFTpdZF-s
Who had McMahon in the home run pool?
John E. Carson
He always had power. He just didn't display it on the Yankees.
John Smoltz with his “that wouldn’t be a home run in any other ballpark” line.
Drink!
I am too frail, emotionally, to handle this shit.
Schlitz for Schlittler.
He had power in Colorado, Doug. Where you and I would have power.
All right, so Judge seems locked in, at least. Not so sure about Schlittler, or the rest.
McMahon:
A header and a homer
Nice way to work out of it. I think the Jays were all ready to claim that pitch hit Santander, but it would have meant putting Barger the Badger back on second.
Hoisting a duckhorn as instructed!
PS, Schmucktz can suck donkey dick until he drowns in the cum. Then, he can just fuck off forever.
Uh-oh. Stanton has to run the bases.
Not good
3,6,3 (not that speed would matter much there)
WTF was Jazz doing there???
Jazz is all about improvisation.
I don't think that play much mattered because they could only get one out there. But next season I would like us to have a first baseman who can field his position.
Where was Jazz positioned?
Yeah, baby! Though that might have been ball four. Still—too close to take, Vladdie Baby!
SIT DOWN JUNIOR!! GO GRAB SOME BENCH!!
Great strikeout !
Jazz seemed to be backing up first base, he was so far over. I think he thought that Schlittler was going to snag that—and I'm not sure if Schlittzy just missed it, or if purposely let it go. But it was a perfect DP ball, slow enough for Jazz to get to, yet fast enough to get two.
Jazz should have at least laid out for the ball. But he didn't.
How about some hits against their bullpen. I would like some PLEASE.
15 strikeouts for volpEEEEEEE
Nice to see the offense come up big in Toronto's bullpen game.
I don't know how you stop them, but we should never see a bullpen game in the playoffs. It throws everything off.
Awful. Hitting looks to have reverted to form.
Let’s hope not
um, er....
Feels like the Jays are just a run or two from putting this out of reach. Bats are doing nothing.
Has the Dead Bat Society reconvened?
I for one think that Mr. John Schmuck is calling a great game. He seems very unbiased and totally unaffected by previous biases. He totally calls it like it is.
Signed: Blow jobs fan.
Do our batters have a plan when they walk up to the plate? Has somebody in the dugout gone over what’s happening and given them a little peptalk and some instruction?
Why start now?
What's up with Grisham? His At Bsts are so passive.
UGH
Impotent.
Same here. I was disappointed until I realized I'll be able to stay up for the whole game
Gettin late
Grisham is reverting to form, and has been for a month. Made zero sense to bury The Martian on the bench. Why isn't Rice playing?
I hope it’s not gonna be another one of those season endings where another team celebrates an hour in field. That’s a Cashman specialty. I wonder who leads the league over the last 20 years in the “left on base” statistic?
In our - not “an hour”
Have I mentioned that JayJohny smotz needs to be drawn and quartered?
And yes, to Bitty's point: Jazz is 0-7 with 3 Ks, lifetime, against Rodriguez, that last Toronto reliever. He swings at the first pitch, with that famous, one-handed grip that always works so well. Foul ball. Swings at the second pitch. Weak grounder to second.
Non-quality players like Jazz who hang stats in the regular season, always get exposed come October.
GOOD POINTS
Nice recovery by McMahon—but why the hell is our field so slippery?
All right, Schlittler out. NOW. Stop trying to steal outs, Boone. There are no more left to steal.
Goddammit.
Oh, Jazz.
Not a good time to have a bad game…
Wow. Just wow.
Yeah, Jazz, it's the glove. Must have some holes in it.
✅✅✅✅✅✅
Whoever said "Gettin' late" was right
It would appear that a cagey, nimble manager could make better decisions regarding the lineup. I wonder if they are really using artificial intelligence to do any of this stuff. That would really make weird sense. Because if it’s not that, then we are just dealing with dull stupidity.
It was BTR999
See ya next year.
Time to put on my smoking robe, light up the crack pipe, and settle into the hot stove season.
So, is it time to start the second game thread?
Damn, just when I was thinking this guy might surprise us. What a piece of shit he has been, from Opening Day right through tonight.
Fucking Devin Williams again…
Schlittler looks bereft, but he has nothing to be ashamed about. What a terrific playoffs he had.
Do you not see the genius of CashBrain's bullpen?
I hope that The Brain gets something good for the Jizz. He just has that special talent for brain lock. Or else put him in the outfield.
Again, it all comes down to The Big Brain.
Milwaukee's season ends against the Mets when Devin gives up that gigantic home run to Pete Alonso. Cashman's decision? Sign Devin Williams, don't sign Alonso. Makes perfect sense.
Wait after getting two outs they pulled the starter ...fire Boone
Time to double the bet!
Also, can I just say how loathsome Fox's "Foresight" nonsense is? Not to mention that it was completely deceptive. There is no way on God's green earth that Addison Barger, a .243 hitter this season, had an almost 1:1 chance to get a 4th hit in a playoff game. And he did not.
This cannot be anything except an effort to get sucker bets for whatever gambling service is advertising with Fox.
Three more innings, four more runs (and nothing given up by the bullpen).
The parenthetical part might the most unlikely.
No, they pulled him with 1 out—after Jazz let a tailor-made double-play bounce off his glove. Of Toronto's 4 runs, 3 were directly attributable to his incompetent fielding. But hey: he can't hit, either.
Addison Barger sounds like a professor at Hogwarts, not a baseball player.
There was a discussion on FanGraphs about this sort of thing last year, I think, when Apple started putting those sorts of stats on their broadcasts. No one thought they held up to reason (or math).
We'll...except that Devin Williams HAS to get Nathan Lukes, .255 hitter, in that situation. HAS TO. That's another bullpen flop.
Jazz usually hits a HR after he screws up. Hopefully there will be men on base.
Volpe looks as though he is going to cry. Just to keep this in perspective: Derek Jeter's third full season was 1998.
put in Domiquez no DP
Never adjust your game. Never, ever adjust your game. Down 3 runs in the 7th inning of an elimination game? Try to hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium to dead center.
Too many players with the same ability. Too many players who are stat darlings, but don't have the Stones in the clutch...
And today’s fun fact, it’s been 2 months and 2 days since Paul Goldschmidt’s last home run.
Why are they POSSIBLY batting Volpe here? Oh, right: to keep up his confidence that he is our shortstop of the future. Much in the same way that Ralph Kramden was the chef of the future.
Volpe. Jesus
Volpe has distinguished himself tonight…
Man, I hope that’s was Volpe’s last at-bat as a Yankee.
Nice to see Rosario hit something. Though now we have to watch Grisham bat.
I wish I believed Grisham was going to do something good here. But I don’t.
he needs to wake up.
stop taking pitches that are close
Volpe is 16-for-26 this postseason!!
… oh, wait, that’s strikeouts, not hits.
Never mind.
Gettin later
Volpe and Grisham both inexplicably taking mid-90 mph, middle-middle pitches.
Thankfully we have the rest of the Giants season to look forward to.
“Can it core a apple?”
how is it that EVERY Blue Jay reliver is getting it done?
A lead-off double by a guy who runs like a safe
The Yankees bullpen is Vaunted. Vaunted.
What do you think is more likely: the bullpen coughs up a few runs & the Yankees stage a furious rally to lose 7-6, or they just rollover & lose 4 or 5-1?
He may run worse that Stanton.
Yes
Smoltz should die from lymphogranuloma venereum.
HahahahahahahahahahaHA
Hey - at least JM is sleeping soundly through this nightmare
Guess Bednar is in for the 4-out save.
Same as it ever was….
Smoltz and Davis already delivering the Yankee eulogy…
To Pocono Steve's point, the Yankees inexplicably took relatively soft pitches down the middle all night long. I don't know why. Though when they did their first pitch swinging, they looked no better...
This is all on Cashman. Boone is a fool, but this was never a team that was equipped to win. With the exception of Bednar, none of the relievers he signed at the beginning of the year or brought in later were equipped to get the job done. The infield was a mess, all year long—despite Jazz Chisholm's stat hanging. Gresham got exposed against good teams—while Dominguez languished on the bench. Max Fried proved to be as bad a clutch pitcher as Carlos Rodon was.
Stanton on first
Just showed Cashman on the telly.
I’m in awe of his Super Genius
They are assholes
Doniguez for stanton right now! you can'r have a guy that slow on the basepaths with a really fast guy running behind him when you need runs!
Yeah, Smoltz blathering on about how this can't possibly be Cashman's fault, because it's so hard to win in the playoffs. Talking about how all those Braves teams kept winning division titles, but not taking it all...
He inadvertently undermines his point. Those Braves teams did not win more BECAUSE, year in and year out, they did not have the bench or the bullpen to take October.
I am steaming out of my ears over Stanton still being on the basepaths
Now I can relax
That's hilarious. Down 4 runs, 2 outs in the 8th, against a reliever who just walked the first batter he faced...and Wells swings at the first pitch. Out of the strike zone.
PURGE!
More like haunted
Look at the bright side: this is the last time we have to listen to John Smoltz this year.
The worst part is, we're going to have to watch Volpe hit in the bottom of the ninth.
4 friggin hits in a bullpen game.
Nope
Thank goodness I was wrong. BUT...this is once again setting up your supposed big prospect for failure.
Nice to see Dominguez getting some valuable playoff seasoning.
Dominguez
We might have seen the last of Volpe as a Yankee
Wow. Dominguez. So glad we got to see so much of Grisham, instead.
Can't blame Judge for this debacle. A LOT of guys below the Mendoza Line. Jizz hitting .182 with errors and the usual "alert plays". It's as though he read Gleybor's book. He shouldn't be playing in the infield. And flanked by Volpe...
I cannot believe he waited until now. Boone or Cash or whoever is responsible le for the in-game calls and the lineups should be convicted of gross negligence and stupidity.
Grisham still looking at strikes in the middle of the plate
I think Volpe belongs to the same Masonic Temple as Cashman, Boone, Levine and Trost. I'd start combing the video to look for secret handshakes.
No other theory makes sense.
SO MANY LOST OPPORTUNITIES TO THIS POINT
prolonging the torture.
Say g'night Gracie.
I’m glad Judge didn’t make the last out.
yes me too
F*cK
ASSHOLES
Schlittler ?
Yet another early winter is here.
BAD MANAGING, BAD TEAM BUILDING, INDIFFERENCE FROM THE OWNER.
It was all lies. Lies.
I’m no fan of either Detroit or Seattle but either of them is preferable to Toronto.
Lucy and her football win again. I hope nobody put money on the Yankees for the postseason. But your company was like a good single malt whiskey on a cold winter night. Cheers.
DITTO. I'LL TAKE THE TIGERS OR SEATTLE. FUCK TORONTO.
And a secret AI program calling all the shots.
Gentlemen (Ladies?) :
It’s been a pleasure and an honor to follow this season with all of year. I hope one year we may together share in the joy of a Championship!
Allow me the privilege of authoring the first “Fuck No Boone. Fuck Cashman. Fuck Hal.” of the off-season.
Well I can finally get to my bed now this season most games finish my time at 2-4 am
Sad the Yankees are out but though I mainly lurk it has been a pleasure being on this website with you all I learn a lot from you but more importantly I get a right good laugh which is short of in supply in my life right now
I wish you all good health and happiness and I will be sticking around off season to enjoy reading all your posts
Awe the best fae Scotland
John
Schlittler, Judge, McMahon, and maybe an arm or two were the only players who actually showed up for this series. I mean WTF????
Cheer, SYF.
Back at you John. Perhaps next year? All the best for all the right things!
John, this is when the fun and the hope begin again...at least, after the Series is over. Time to retrench and recharge. We must stick together here. One day, we will get back to the other side of that mountain.
The team that was built to get them to the playoffs is not the team built for the postseason…
Too true, Ranger. We have been noticing that for years.
Another wet dream season for Hal Steinbrenner. Yankees drop to fourth in payroll, good enough to make the diluted playoffs, beat out the Mets in New York City, makes a tidy profit with great attendance, TV money and a sweet stadium deal, and the season ends early enough so he can enjoy fall wine tours, or whatever the fuck it is he enjoys (because it sure ain’t baseball). Hal doesn’t give a fuck about championships. There is no reason the Yankees don’t have the best farm system in baseball. There is no reason the Yankees don’t have the deepest bench in baseball. There’s no reason Aaron Judge doesn’t have a lineup of bats to support him. Hal strives for the Yankees to be good enough but not great — because great costs money. Great might take a few coins out of his deep, deep pockets. And it’s just not that important to him.
Sell the team, Hal, to someone who cares.
Glad you could join us, SYF. Despite all the frustration, we always have hope for next year.
Can’t wait to hear Boone say we were getting good swings and competitive at-bats.
Jeter just said It. !
Hopefully some of you just watched and listened to what Jeter just said
We're all too tired out here. What did he say???? I can handle the elevator description.
Apologies - Multitasking out here - After ARod said something silly, with Jeter smirking screen right, he said something like Aaron Boone took a lot of heat for things this year. He didn't put the team together and I don't have any inside information but I will say that he really wasn't the only one making decisions during games this year.
I'm not doing his comment justice but he was directly pointing out that he
wasn't managing the games by himself this year.
It was great to hear Jeter say this.
Also Boone said during his emotional post game that it was personally a difficult year for him this year.
"Boone said during his emotional post game that it was personally a difficult year for him this year."
Worse for us. But, I'm a compassionate person. Maybe in the interest of his mental health he should hang it up. Take a year or two to heal.
Thanks Doug - 100% agreed
5 or 6 years even 👀
He may NEVER heal
BBB, been saying that for years. Many of us have. And...we're right. Only caveat: when Mad George was about to sell the team back in 1998, he was going to sell it to the Dolans. Hey, it can always get worse!
Scotland Forever! Always glad to hear from you. Look us up, if you get to the States. Otherwise...see you next year!
I didn't know your name was John. Mine is, too. Sorry that you stayed awake to watch this game and be disappointed in real time. I slept, got up, and was disappointed well after the fact.
Hope life gets better in the off-season, John. Now, I have to figure out which channel curling will be on...
I came back this morning and read every word posted by the Commentariat. I am always here.
Good evening to you SYF, aka "John."
