So easy to pitch to this lineup.

JM said...

Schlit is pretty damn good.

JM said...

AA, beautiful job, as always.

JM said...

The Masters coverage on CBS starts in ten. Fyi.

JM said...

Schlit not too good today.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Which is more boring? Watching the Yankees, golf, bowling, or paint drying?

BTR999 said...

Carl, that’s a tough choice.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Cricket 🏏

BTR999 said...

McMahon should request a stint in the minors to improve his game. He won’t, nor will the team ask him to.

Carl J. Weitz said...

After 4 innings, the Yankees with 1 hit and 5 whiffs. They'll hit their daily average of double-digit K's and futile hitting. If they don't alter the roster, this will be a daily outcome.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Grichuk, 0-2 today and 0- the season. What a fucking joke this team and entire organization has become!

Carl J. Weitz said...

Today's lineup features the Yankees new "Murderers Row": Grichuk, Escarra, McMahon and Caballero! The 1927 Yankees, a century removed!

JM said...

Hey, I like bowling and golf, selectively. Better than the one-hot wonders.

JM said...

A sorry excuse for a lineup.

BTR999 said...

Off topic, I have to say it:
Let’s stop the right wing bullshit of playing the witless travelogue God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch. And why remove your caps? Drop your pants and bend over would be more apt.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

One run in, two on, nobody out. ONE more run. Clutch hitting.

Then immediately cough up a triple.

Painful

AboveAverage said...

Funny 999 - I thought almost the exact same thing

BTR999 said...

TB showing the Yanks how to play ball and tack on insurance runs.

JM said...

Has Kay finally stopped the "rally in their bones" shit? Credit this offense for at least that.

ranger_lp said...

Ditto that remark…

ranger_lp said...

Going out on a limb but I think Jazz’s 50/50 prediction is in jeopardy…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Sliding never gets you to first faster

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hello Pineapple 🍍!

BTR999 said...

McMahon ends it by swinging at the first pitch. If he’s in such a hurry to get out of there, we should accommodate him. We won’t bc of his contract.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

.114 and you don't pinch hit for him 😵‍💫😤

Publius said...

Goldschmidt's a coach, I guess.

Just read that Boone is under .500 against AL East in his managing career. Can that possibly be true?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Curry ripped Boone in post-game

Publius said...

Don't think it is true

Publius said...

Specifically for keeping Goldschmidt glued to bench, or generally?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Specifically for not using him in the 9th

JM said...

As Fred Allen said about Jack Benny, Boone was born stupid and he's been losing ground ever since.

AboveAverage said...

And an idiot

Copelius said...

Not much else to do so I ran the numbers: He is 279-224 vs the AL East for a WP of .555, which is less than his overall WP of .583, leaving his WP vs all but the AL East at .603. By the year:
2018- ALE-.579, MLB-.617, NALE- .651;
2019- ALE-.711, MLB-.636, NALE-.570;
2020- ALE-.575, MLB-.550, NALE-.500
2021- ALE-.474, MLB-.568, NALE-.651
2022- ALE-.618, MLB-.611, NALE-.605
2023- ALE-.423, MLB-.506, NALE-.545
2024- ALE-.500, MLB-.580, NALE-.618
2025- ALE-.519, MLB-.680, NALE-.609
2026- ALE-.000, MLB-.533, NALE-.667

We can definitely complain about roster construction, but when the same roster construction trends much worse against the teams you play against for nearly 1/3 of your schedule even after the balancing of the last few years, that is a managerial problem. Therefore Boone is a bigger liability than Cashman. Now when you consider that Cashman hired and continues to retain Boone, that puts them back on equal footing so fire them both.

PS Boone's record against the individual teams in the ALE is:
BAL - .632
BOS - .552
TB - .500
TOR - .536

amen, brothers

So a friend had very good tickets to the Mets today and treated me. It was very relaxing, sitting out in the sun and watching the Mets fail to score a single run.

Of course, there was the scoreboard...

A's rampaged through New York. And it occurs to me that both local teams don't have what it takes to beat younger, better constructed, hungrier teams.
