EXTRA! The ambulance rolls up for Montas

Publius said...: Anybody see Blake & Boonie vs Monty? Monty said Yanks told him not to throw 4 seamer so much. Cards say, fire away. Success follows. Blake & Boonie: "Well, yeah. The National League sucks" essentially.; September 17, 2022 at 5:58 PM
The Hammer of God said...: It's always a good idea to use your fastball a lot, particularly the 4 seamer. It sets up all the other pitches. Keeps hitters "honest".

If your fastball is mediocre, then what do you do, throw it less? No, you can't throw it less. You'll just make the hitters sit on your other pitches. Instead, you have to hit spots better, locate. You have to work on developing more late movement on it, by experimenting with grips, finger pressure, etc. That's what the pitching coach is there for. That's why you exchange ideas with the other guys on the staff. That's why you talk to pitchers on other teams (they'll often share). You have to work on reading a hitter's swing better, so you know when they'll be more susceptible to fastball or off speed, inside or outside corner, up or down in the zone, or lead them out of the zone.

I wouldn't put any stock in what Boone says. He's just doing damage control.; September 17, 2022 at 6:13 PM
The Hammer of God said...: Telling your pitcher that his fastball sucks and that he shouldn't throw it so much is like telling a boxer that his jab sucks so he shouldn't throw his jab. Just like a boxer's jab sets up everything else, so does the fastball set up the off speed stuff. Stop throwing it and you make things much more difficult for yourself.; September 17, 2022 at 6:19 PM
Doug K. said...: so they found an "injury" for Montas. Good. Sevi takes his place in the rotation.

Good. Now trade him in the off season.; September 17, 2022 at 6:34 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Watched part of the pregame on mlb network, brought to you by draft kings.

We went from Shoeless Joe being banned to mlb being sponsored by the gamblers.

Shoeless Joe needs to be in the hall.

Pete Rose too.

Fuck mlb.

Fuck you HAL.; September 17, 2022 at 7:08 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: ...all within 100 years.; September 17, 2022 at 7:08 PM
JM said...: Totally agree, Rufus.

This gambling shit is an embarrassment. As are so many of MLB decisions.

Kay and Nelson glowing over Taillon's three runs per game leakage. Yeah, I'm less than thrilled with it when the team had trouble scoring at all.

Let's hope Montas goes to the 60 day. Get rid of him for the rest of the year.; September 17, 2022 at 7:30 PM
JM said...: I think Monty is just another example of how lousy our coaching is. Refsnyder and he are poster children.; September 17, 2022 at 7:32 PM
JM said...: It's hard to root for a team when you think so many of the players are losers put in place by the Genius.; September 17, 2022 at 7:33 PM
JM said...: I should say it's hard to root for a team when you hate so much about them and how they're managed from the top down.; September 17, 2022 at 7:36 PM
Publius said...: Not if you're Irish, JM.; September 17, 2022 at 7:53 PM
JM said...: Point.

Marwin hit. Could we get an IL? Hope he's ok.; September 17, 2022 at 7:59 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I disagree on putting either Jackson or Rose in the Hall. BUT I agree that MLB is completely hypocritical to jump into bed with professional gambling.

One of the big barriers to throwing games in the past was that you needed to bet so much on the fixed World Series, etc., was that it made a suspicious change in the odds.

Now...with the option to be on individual innings and even plays, it's so much easier to secretly cheat. This will soon happen, as various players indulge relations and in-laws, and various umpires decide they want to be rich, too.; September 17, 2022 at 8:07 PM
JM said...: Meredith calling out Kay for being such a lying shithead asshole. What a jerk he is.; September 17, 2022 at 8:10 PM
JM said...: And yes, Hoss. It's how humans are.; September 17, 2022 at 8:11 PM
JM said...: See ya.

And Kay is an asshole.; September 17, 2022 at 8:16 PM
JM said...: Three runs minimum, as promised.; September 17, 2022 at 8:17 PM
AboveAverage said...: Kay needs a Cologuard in the booth with him.

And DonaldDaddy goes Yard; September 17, 2022 at 8:23 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Rowdy Yates.

Rawhide reruns would be better now.; September 17, 2022 at 8:26 PM
JM said...: Those reruns are pretty good.; September 17, 2022 at 8:30 PM
JM said...: Jesus, Stanton is terrible.; September 17, 2022 at 8:45 PM
BTR999 said...: Just got home in time to see Stanton whiff. Shoulda stayed out.; September 17, 2022 at 8:55 PM
JM said...: Fuck ty, I'm going to bed. Taillon blows.; September 17, 2022 at 8:58 PM
JM said...: Fuck this, I mean.; September 17, 2022 at 8:58 PM
BTR999 said...: I guess we have the RISP blues again. Jesus this team; September 17, 2022 at 8:59 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ykxdq

Get em up move em out!

Rawhide!!!!; September 17, 2022 at 9:02 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Hicks is playing WHY?????; September 17, 2022 at 9:04 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Oh Joy!

Aroldis hemorrhoidis is up in the bullpen!; September 17, 2022 at 9:15 PM
Oasisdave said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; September 17, 2022 at 9:36 PM
Oasisdave said...: It's gonna be a short post season, sure wish there was a way they could blow it and just fail to make it. Maybe they would FINALLY get rid of Cashole; September 17, 2022 at 9:37 PM
Doug K. said...: Stanton 0-4 4K can he stop now? He should go home.; September 17, 2022 at 9:51 PM
DickAllen said...: I’m praying for an historic collapse that would leave the 64 Phillies smiling; September 17, 2022 at 9:56 PM
Doug K. said...: I'm on the collapse train as well. Judge should get 62 though. Other than that... flush it and take Brian and Boonie out.; September 17, 2022 at 10:04 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Gene Mauch collapse along with Judge signing elsewhere, along with bonehead and ca$hole being fired is my Santa Claus list I send to the north pole.

Unfortunately, the likelihood is exactly the same as Santa Claus being real.; September 17, 2022 at 10:12 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Plus, the Yankees are in danger of losing the tabloid back page race.

Actually not, because this epic collapse will rate many back pages.

Fuck you HAL.

and boonie, and cashole.; September 17, 2022 at 10:29 PM
AboveAverage said...: No Pain No . . . . . . . . .

(this sucks); September 17, 2022 at 10:54 PM
13bit said...: Yep…; September 17, 2022 at 10:57 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Wow, it's actually happening. They're really going to blow this. Down to 4 1/2. Purposely skipped the game tonight, but the YES box score and play-by-play is incomprehensible.

Did Wandy Peralta actually play shortstop tonight? And they gave up ANOTHER 3-run homer to the SAME .237 hitter?

I don't get it. Does NOBODY have a brain on this team? I know, I know—that answers itself.; September 17, 2022 at 11:47 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Also, I'm telling you right now that Judge will not break any home-run record. There's just too little around him—and as the collapse continues, he'll get sucked into the general panic, trying to do too much.; September 17, 2022 at 11:48 PM
AboveAverage said...: you are probably right , HC - not that this is something to be proud of as it is sorta kinda sad about Judge trying his best on this team of mashed potato road kill nothingness; September 17, 2022 at 11:52 PM
MJ said...: Judge isn't going to panic. He's played this season knowing exactly what his team's executive branch thinks about him since about an hour before Opening Day and he's having a year for the freaking ages; he's got them HATING him right now. Make no mistake: Cash and HAL hate him. He won't drop to their level and even worse, he's producing numbers NO ONE has produced in any similar unprotected situation. I almost always listen to The Master and Suzyn but Friday night I saw the game and AJ was smiling on the bases.

Aaron Judge is the man for the place he finds himself. I suspect he's going to teach a bunch of people a bunch of lessons.; September 18, 2022 at 12:46 AM
The Archangel said...: Going on a 1 -week trip starting tomorrow.
Great time to x-out team.

When I get back, Rizzo and Ruth Bader will be in the lineup.
That should help. Plus Peraza will make his weekly start.
Plus, Hicks and Marwin won't be playing and Montas won't be pitching.

Unfortunately Stanton will continue to look like an 11 year-old swinging against the best 13 year-old in Little League and they will still bat him as DH.
Watching him bat is giving me flash backs to LL where every kid on the team was required to play 3 innings each game and coaches would maneuver the two worst kids for 3 innings apiece, usually in RF cuz there was no DH then.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot;
FUCK YOU HAL, CASHOLE AND BOONDOGLE; September 18, 2022 at 6:37 AM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Have a good one, Archie!; September 18, 2022 at 10:27 AM
