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.
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.
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
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.

So easy to pitch to this lineup.
ReplyDeleteSchlit is pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteAA, beautiful job, as always.
ReplyDeleteThe Masters coverage on CBS starts in ten. Fyi.
ReplyDeleteSchlit not too good today.
ReplyDeleteWhich is more boring? Watching the Yankees, golf, bowling, or paint drying?
DeleteCarl, that’s a tough choice.
DeleteCricket 🏏
DeleteHey, I like bowling and golf, selectively. Better than the one-hot wonders.
DeleteMcMahon should request a stint in the minors to improve his game. He won’t, nor will the team ask him to.

ReplyDeleteGrichuk, 0-2 today and 0- the season. What a fucking joke this team and entire organization has become!
ReplyDeleteToday's lineup features the Yankees new "Murderers Row": Grichuk, Escarra, McMahon and Caballero! The 1927 Yankees, a century removed!
ReplyDeleteA sorry excuse for a lineup.

Funny 999 - I thought almost the exact same thing
DeleteDitto that remark…
Deleteamen, brothers
DeleteOne run in, two on, nobody out. ONE more run. Clutch hitting.
ReplyDeleteThen immediately cough up a triple.
Painful
TB showing the Yanks how to play ball and tack on insurance runs.
ReplyDeleteHas Kay finally stopped the "rally in their bones" shit? Credit this offense for at least that.
ReplyDeleteGoing out on a limb but I think Jazz’s 50/50 prediction is in jeopardy…
ReplyDeleteSliding never gets you to first faster
ReplyDeleteHello Pineapple 🍍!
ReplyDeleteMcMahon 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.
ReplyDelete.114 and you don't pinch hit for him 😵💫😤
ReplyDeleteGoldschmidt's a coach, I guess.
ReplyDeleteJust read that Boone is under .500 against AL East in his managing career. Can that possibly be true?
Don't think it is true

Curry ripped Boone in post-game
ReplyDeleteSpecifically for keeping Goldschmidt glued to bench, or generally?
ReplyDeleteSpecifically for not using him in the 9th
DeleteAs Fred Allen said about Jack Benny, Boone was born stupid and he's been losing ground ever since.
ReplyDeleteAnd an idiot
