There's an old-school rap song somewhere in all of this.

Da Starting Lineup for your NY YANKEES:

Trent Grisham (L) CF
Aaron Judge (R) RF
Cody Bellinger (L) LF
Ben Rice (L) 1B
Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
Jazz Chisholm Jr. (L) 2B
Austin Wells (L) C
José Caballero (R) SS
Ryan McMahon (L) 3B

So, first inning, Judge fans on four pitches, Rice takes strike three right down the middle, with men on second and third. I'm through for the day.

AboveAverage said...

Wells is the first of the “F-Five” to go yard

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You win if you had Wells in the betting pool.

AboveAverage said...

Looks like wells is dyeing his beard

AboveAverage said...

Oh boy - Volpe is in the dugout

And Ryan M gets a single

JM said...

McMahon at .069. Whoo.

JM said...

Probably up to.075 now. Excellent.

JM said...

I've been watching the Masters. Crazy day there.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Volpe is supposed to come off dl when Yankees return to NY.
He's apparently rehabbing in Tampa currently.

JM said...

Golf done. Me, too. Watching the game off and on, and it doesn't look worth watching.

AboveAverage said...

But they’re the New York Yankees, JM.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

It just occurred to me that Mikey Stanton is the alfa Romeo of baseball.

Fun when it is running smoothly, but it's broken down a lot. The key is keeping it running.

AboveAverage said...

Can’t Run says it all

Publius said...

Why isn't McMahon playing third with a one run lead in the 10th?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Bad coaching again throws the game

AboveAverage said...

Ugleee ending to the game.

(And it isn’t even over yet)

mik said...

How will Bednar handle this workload all year?

AboveAverage said...

Now it is

Carl J. Weitz said...

I hate Boone. Once again, he defies logic and the odds by not walking the guy before Diaz with no outs, runners on second and third. And them he singles.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Fire Boone already. Fire Cashman. Hire BASEBALL people, not sycophants.

Publius said...

One run lead against the Rays in extras. Win breaks a 3 game losing strwak. Your best infielder is on the bench. You lose because your opponent puts on a small ball clinic. Your manager should be fired immediately.

mik said...

Girardi said the Rays made the Yankees field it — sounds just like the Dodgers calling out their defense. Running it back at its finest.

Scottish Yankee fan said...

Pathetic loss and sore to watch

I've managed to watch 7 full games this season and my record is 2-5

Maybe I'm a jinx

Or maybe a uninterested owner a bum GM and a clueless manager are to blame

Carl J. Weitz said...

Bednard another loss. A great deadline deal last year.l by Cooperstown Cashman.

Publius said...

Boone's tactical ineptitude is compounding at a cyclic rate.

BTR999 said...

Ain’t got no closer.

Publius said...

McMahon had been lifted earlier. Rosario pinch hit for him. Retract my earlier criticism on that count.

DickAllen said...

Meanwhile, down on the farm, the Martian had two BBs, 2SBs, 2 Runs scored while Spencer had a nice day for himself as well: he went 3 for 4 with 5RBIs

Think we could use those two bats in the lineup?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My post from 9:06 solves that error.

But you knew that.

Along with anyone not paid by yesmen propaganda machine.

Mr. dumpster, Genius Cashman. 22.5 million for spent grisholm.
