Will the Battlin' Bronx Bastards score a fucking run tonite? So sick of seeing the Bastards gettin' their butts kicked all over the Korean peninsula by millions of naked, bootless, and rifleless Commies. Do these Bastards know how to fight? Retreat? They don't do any retreating, ever. They just fight backwards. I wanna see them score a fucking run tonite. I wanna see them fight their way out of darkness. I wanna see them advancing to the rear, all the way to Yankee Stadium. That too much to ask? Fucking Bastards.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
I fail to see what the hell Yankee management sees in McMahon. He can't hit and his fielding is even worse. He's made more errors than the rest of baseball combined.
McMahon & Grisham, it really is amazing. If they like you here, you can do no wrong. If these guys made ten errors a game, they'd still be starting. If they went 0 for 1,000, they'd still be starting. It's incredible.
Wow, what a fucking nightmare inning. Ain't seen one like that since .... Well, we've seen games like this multiple times this year. And then this is gonna draw some comparisons to the clown show 5th inning in the 2024 World Series.
Will one of the balls that the Rays hit later tonite unravel in the air? Which do you catch, the cowhide or the inside? (Umps consult the ground rules.)
I imagine Tampa spends a lot of time practicing being good at baseball. They probably prepare to face every pitcher and go into every game with a plan.
Well, even if they fuck up tonite, they can say they knocked out Freddy Peralta! This clown show game has been pretty amazing. Wouldn't it be sumthin' if the Rays bullpen got the crap beaten out of them tonite?
A smart manager would've come out and started yelling "Balk!" when Peralta looked back to second. He would not have gotten the call, but it might have upset Freddy, and shook things up.
This is the playoffs. We have been saying this all year. It was satisfying to pound the Sox, but they are not a great team this year. This is the meat grinder and we are salami.
Obviously, this is baseball, Suzyn, and anything can happen, but I don't see it. These guys live and die by the Three Outcomes, but the bomb - NAMATH TO RICHIE CASTER....but I digress - and Tampa knows how to pitch to them. We are not a well built team. We have had some great pitching this year, but everything else, namely the hitting, fielding and managing decisions, have sucked. None of this is news to any of us. More of the Brain's magical thinking: "get to the playoffs and anything can happen. it's a crapshoot." Well, there may be some truth to that, but the better teams usually have a better chance of winning "the crapshoot." Fuck you, Hal.
And there it is. Palacios, board certified Yankee Killer. (He does kill other teams, too. So I guess I can't hold it against him too much, unlike with Evan Longoria.)
so long, it's been good to know you. so long, it's been good to know you. ask me if I'm going to watch the next game. just ask me...remember when WE were the team that all ran to the middle of the infield and fell into a scrum? We were all much younger then. I'm sure as shit older than that now. time for bed.
Like I've said before, if you think they can't hit Tampa starting pitching, just wait 'til the Tampa relievers come in. Nothing but goose eggs. Tampa could bring in a 10 year old girl from the bullpen, Yankees will go down one-two-three, with at least two strikeouts.
The waste of pitching that good is what kills me. This was pitching capable of winning it all. The Yankees will not advance beyond the division series, because Brian Cashman could not build a team that could either hit or field.
And, oh yeah, the manager is a moron. But that's only secondary.
If the Yankees had ANY defense tonight, we’d be praising Schlittler for gutting it out without his best stuff and keeping this game close. But he got no help.
When the same things happen over and over all year, the same mistakes, that's on the manager & the coaching. GM too. Can't keep doing the same things, expecting different results. Definition of insanity, and all that.
You have to wonder if Schlittler throwing 117 pitches against the Red Sox took something out of him. But he got no help from the infield tonite. Hell, his infielders were enemy saboteurs.
It is embarrassing to watch as they cut to Boone in the dugout and the only thing that he appears serious about is maximizing the number of seeds he’s able to toss into his toxic pie hole.
Bad hitting. Bad fielding. Bad base running. Bad managing. Bad roster construction. Bad coaching. So, as Cashman will no doubt inform us after this series ends with another Yankee faceplant, the obvious problem was injuries.
The stupidest thing concerning Jazz is that we are now simply going to let him walk. We got him for not-all-that much on a sort of emergency basis back in 2024. Okay. But the half-season or so he played that year should have been enough to see that he was simply not a mature or reliable ballplayer...
...We should then have traded him to somebody before or during last season, when he still had considerable trade value because of his much-ballyhooed "athleticism."
We did not, and as a result, he is going to simply walk off the team at the end of the season. It's addition by subtraction, but ridiculous when you consider the number of prospects we might have obtained for him. Or for Gleyber Torres, or Sonny Gray...

They will score 3.6 runs tonight, HoG.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
The Yankees will waste another remarkable start by Cam and find their way to wretched shameful ignominious defeat.
We suck. We're not scoring tonite.
If that half inning is any indication, we're in for a long, frustratingly wretched nite.
And there goes fucking McMahon with the error!
McMuffin's a bum
Ya know, that ceiling is lookin' like it's about to cave in
I fail to see what the hell Yankee management sees in McMahon. He can't hit and his fielding is even worse. He's made more errors than the rest of baseball combined.
Good thing they have the all glove defense playing
McMahon is making me pine for Josh Donaldson.
McMahon & Grisham, it really is amazing. If they like you here, you can do no wrong. If these guys made ten errors a game, they'd still be starting. If they went 0 for 1,000, they'd still be starting. It's incredible.
And there goes the ball game!
Just as I thought, the infield defense is ATROCIOUS!!!
And Jazz
Now, all we're missin' are the dozens of parachutes and dying quails droppin' in to short center field.
Knicks in five. That’s all we’ve got, folks.
Oh, right! I forgot we have a buffoon at second base! D'oh!
Celerino Sanchez
The Yankees have more errors in this inning than they have hits in this series.
A strikeout taken away by catcher's interference! Amazing! Wow, the clown show is unbelievable!
Fucking littler league game
Wells repeating his big mistake in the World Series.
Another error that was not an error!
Wow, these clowns are just IMPLODING!!!
And nearly a fourth!
Jazz out now.
Allow me to update: The Yankees have THREE TIMES as many errors in this inning than they have hits in this series.
Volpe in—say it's an injury.
Uh, you's guys in the infield, you're supposed to be trying to help our pitcher get some outs....
Move jizz to third put volpe6 at 2nd
And I want to murder the announcers
Let's give a Bronx cheer to the Bastards! They got an out on a routine grounder!
Hey, he fielded one!
THREE FUCKING ERRORS…
At this rate, it's gonna be 24-0 Tampa tonite.
What was that, a 7 out inning?
To paraphrase John Sterling: the Yankees play defense like a bunch of drunken sailors.
Wow, what a fucking nightmare inning. Ain't seen one like that since .... Well, we've seen games like this multiple times this year. And then this is gonna draw some comparisons to the clown show 5th inning in the 2024 World Series.
What Boone has to do NOW, is talk to his pitcher and say, 'Hey, very gutsy out there, despite the lack of support. You're a stud hoss.
THEN...he needs to immediately go to Jazz Chisholm, Austin Wells, and Ryan McMahon, and tell a good, filthy joke to each one.
Odds that he will do anything at all to settle any of them?
Ball stuck in the ceiling. Umps checkin' ground rules. We're seein' all the clowns come out tonite!
Mickey mouse park
Bern - you are correct. Clownshow tonight. They should be riding teeny clown bicycles out to the bullpen.
Domes suck.
The only thing left to happen is a UFO breaking through the ceiling and landing in the outfield.
This is not a serious team. Boone is not a serious manage. Brian is not a serious GM. Hal is a serious asshole.
Just like the Dodgers in the 24 series. The scouting report on the Yankees was to just put the ball in play…deja vu all over again…
Will one of the balls that the Rays hit later tonite unravel in the air? Which do you catch, the cowhide or the inside? (Umps consult the ground rules.)
I heard the Rays practice infield defense all the time, everyday. But the Yankees never practice infield defense. That's what I heard.
Looks like it's gonna be a night to remember, for all the wrong reasons. Fuck this, I'm going to the kitchen, gettin' something to eat.
Trent, Jazz and Giancarlo should not be on this roster at all.
Wasting another cam start .
Everyone is swinging for the fences….
Nobody teaches them fundamentals.
Yankees looking like dazed children in the dugout. Great.
Huh. And I had such a good feeling about this game and series...
Over-under on errors this inning is 2
Rays smell blood in the water.
It's almost as if everything we say and do and think as fans...doesn't really matter.
I don't ever want to see Jazz play for this team again.
Yes sir
Tamps also practices bunting and fielding bunts.
What an outstanding play in the field by Bellinger. Well, at least it wasn't out.
Radical
They're timing that away pitch. Cam ought to go off it.
I imagine Tampa spends a lot of time practicing being good at baseball. They probably prepare to face every pitcher and go into every game with a plan.
McMahon almost booted that one, too. What a complete waste of space he has been.
Cam is overthrowing everything. Weight of the world on his shoulders and already down 1-0.
Jazz looks as though he is going to cry.
Smart play by Diaz to avoid getting hit.
Is that called "coaching"
You're right, Warbler. He needs to calm down. Be nice if we had a manager or something.
Also, they'e running up Cam's pitch count.
All right, nice recovery. Just one run, after two innings like that.
The infield defense is running up the pitch count too.
Of course, maybe we should rethink the game plan of getting them to hit everything to Jazz...
Grisham threads the rings
Booneball will end the season.
Mercy killing
It's really great that the announcers are questioning Boones decisions
Remember when Scott Brosius was the #9 hitter?
Yeah, good times. Right?
We don't need no stinking manager.
He is only the ca$hole messenger.
Jizz didn't drop it. Yay!
Well, what d'ya know? Wells hits a home run! Ain't that sumthin'?
There it is! A break!
Rice!
The Bronx Bastards ain't gettin' shut out tonite, or his name ain't Austin Wells!
Um, you okay, Hammer?
Oh for fuck sake, we scored a run.
Oh for fuck sake, we scored a run.
Yeah, come right apart, Freddy, you stinkin' Met.
And a single!
I have such meager aspirations for tonight's game.
Well, they scored a fucking run. And then got a hit too. Baby steps.
An ad for motion sickness medication? Okay. This series has made me pretty nauseous so far.
Insane not to run Spencer there, but I think Boonie had fainted.
Oh sorry, thought it was Wells who hit that homer! My bad. Too many bottles of Heinekin.
Double vision! I'm seein' UFO's in the outfield! Ha Ha!
Just came back from the kitchen, fully loaded.
Grisham ran down a fly ball. Maybe the tide really is turning.
No wonder he hit a homer. His name was Ben Rice!
Just glad you're all right, Hammer.
Cam looks calm. And yeah, Grisham ran down a flyball! I KNEW that witch doctor was worth the money.
Well, after all of that crazy shit, we've got a ball game after all. Fucking amazing!
Oh, I'm all right, Hoss! Thanks. Just a little crazy!
Terrible delay on TBS feed…
This whole “stopping at second base” thing works pretty well, doesn’t it, Austin?
You know, I think he might've had a triple on that...
Hoss, was that witch doctor specializing in white magic or black magic? Good to know!
Also, I think that Ryan McMahon might be the first zero-tools player in the history of the game. Just saying.
Ha, fucking Kevin Cash with the hook!
I don't ask any questions, Hammer. I just want results.
I think our best hope here is two wild pitches.
Why is McMahon in the lineup? Isn’t he like 0-90 against Peralta?
A walk, we will take.
Well, even if they fuck up tonite, they can say they knocked out Freddy Peralta! This clown show game has been pretty amazing. Wouldn't it be sumthin' if the Rays bullpen got the crap beaten out of them tonite?
To be fair, he was 0-for-90 against pretty much everyone this year.
A smart manager would've come out and started yelling "Balk!" when Peralta looked back to second. He would not have gotten the call, but it might have upset Freddy, and shook things up.
We don't have a manager like that.
Boone does all the wrong things, all the time.
Uh-oh—we have a Cam vs. Cam situation.
Another Yankee drive caught deep in the outfield. The AC vents on/off button must be workin' again.
That is so Billy Martin…
Damn!
Cam is in the soup again.
Shit, there goes the ball game again!
Cam deserves better than this from his team.
They're hopeless. Absolutely hopeless.
The Bastards finally scored a run, but now they're melting down under the relentless pressure of Tampa's small ball tactics.
This is the playoffs. We have been saying this all year. It was satisfying to pound the Sox, but they are not a great team this year. This is the meat grinder and we are salami.
So we know they'll have to score at least 3 more runs to win this game. Do they have it in them?
Yeah, the Red Sox had it going for a while, but they de-railed. Stopped scoring runs.
Errors and more errors.
This organization is a fiasco.
Palacios in a big spot here. I predicted he's going to have a huge series. Let's see what happens.
Obviously, this is baseball, Suzyn, and anything can happen, but I don't see it. These guys live and die by the Three Outcomes, but the bomb - NAMATH TO RICHIE CASTER....but I digress - and Tampa knows how to pitch to them. We are not a well built team.

More of the Brain's magical thinking: "get to the playoffs and anything can happen. it's a crapshoot." Well, there may be some truth to that, but the better teams usually have a better chance of winning "the crapshoot." Fuck you, Hal.
I don’t see the Yankees coming back…
Go Brewers.
Typical Yankees. Failing to capitalize then getting crushed on the next inning
And there it is. Palacios, board certified Yankee Killer. (He does kill other teams, too. So I guess I can't hold it against him too much, unlike with Evan Longoria.)
so long, it's been good to know you. so long, it's been good to know you. ask me if I'm going to watch the next game. just ask me...remember when WE were the team that all ran to the middle of the infield and fell into a scrum? We were all much younger then. I'm sure as shit older than that now. time for bed.
This game is ovuh, ka-put, stick a fork in it.
It sucks when it's the top of the 6th and you know it's over
This is the end, my only friend, the end,,,,
Like I've said before, if you think they can't hit Tampa starting pitching, just wait 'til the Tampa relievers come in. Nothing but goose eggs. Tampa could bring in a 10 year old girl from the bullpen, Yankees will go down one-two-three, with at least two strikeouts.
It sucks to be at the beginning of the season and know it’s over
The waste of pitching that good is what kills me. This was pitching capable of winning it all. The Yankees will not advance beyond the division series, because Brian Cashman could not build a team that could either hit or field.
And, oh yeah, the manager is a moron. But that's only secondary.

True Hoss
True Bbb
It is embarrassing to watch as they cut to Boone in the dugout and the only thing that he appears serious about is maximizing the number of seeds he’s able to toss into his toxic pie hole.
He deserved better
Solo home runs. The Yankees’ not-so-secret weapon.
A baserunner once in a while would really help.
No help? More like sabotage from those bums
Rice solos need to obviously increase to 6-7 per game
Bad hitting. Bad fielding. Bad base running. Bad managing. Bad roster construction. Bad coaching. So, as Cashman will no doubt inform us after this series ends with another Yankee faceplant, the obvious problem was injuries.
I had such meager hopes for tonight's game and still they disappointed.
I’d start Jazz in game three back at the stadium.
He’ll uhh . . . take care of business
Yanks watched TB clinch at Yankee Stadium, now we can watch them eliminate us there,
(choke)
But they did not!
The stupidest thing concerning Jazz is that we are now simply going to let him walk. We got him for not-all-that much on a sort of emergency basis back in 2024. Okay. But the half-season or so he played that year should have been enough to see that he was simply not a mature or reliable ballplayer...
