Just A Quick Question....


 So the Yanks are up 7-2 and it is the ninth inning.

Chapman has not been used in a week ( roughly ).

He has talked to several shrinks and perhaps a voodoo doll or a tree.

Ahem......wouldn't this be an ideal moment to give him a taste of the game again?

Is he " so far gone" that a five run lead in the ninth would cause tremors and excessive perspiration?

This loss was telling.  What a calamity.

See you in Boston.

We all heard it.

It is, as they say, yesterday's news.

But thanks.

This is a management issue. We need a manager who can get the most out of the players; a general manager with some kind of coherent strategic vision; and an owner who gives a shit.

What a way to lose a game.

Just when you thought it was safe to back in the water...

If the minds in charge of this team are this eager to show their lack of confidence in Chapman, then he must have plenty left. A smart GM wouldn't trade for him; maybe take him as a throw-in for the RH outfielder of the week. The chance will arise soon, no doubt.

PS Totally on John's side on that HR call. Stick the guy in a room with a shitty monitor and show him a home run: what the hell SHOULD he call?

Chad Green was the last guy I would've used last night. He's been overused of late, and we all know how bad he sucks when he's been overworked. He's at his best when he's throwing high fastballs. For some reason, when he's tired or in a rut, he throws low fastballs. And gets clocked.

Boone managed that 9th inning very poorly. He showed no confidence in Domingo German, which made no sense either. If he's got that little confidence in German, then why did German start the inning? And what of all the other guys they had in that bullpen? They had to go with a tired Chad Green? If Lucas Luetge had been warming three different times, why not go to Luetge to start the 9th? There were a zillion different ways Boone could've gone with this, and most of them would have resulted in a win. He found a way to lose this one.

BTW, I'm not making any excuses for the players. They sucked it up and lost it. But Boone had a big hand in it too.

The Hammer of God

@ Alphonso....I had a Yankee-free weekend other than checking the final results ( this blog included) for mental health reasons. So I obviously missed the Sterling mistake. I had therapy sessions with Dr. Johnny Walker. Like myself, he was Blue.
