But he's not.

AboveAverage said...

Game thread has been modified to reflect that lunacy . . .

JM said...

1-4, killer lineup. 5-9, hoo boy. Maybe Berti and Vertigo can do something.

DickAllen said...

On the other hand, it will be interesting to see if Glassman maintains his hitting now that he's been moved up to a position of greater expectations

AboveAverage said...

I think I speak for most here (especially JM) when I say - I sure as heck hope so.

Joe of AZ said...

Already on nonsense

Joe of AZ said...

Looks like Yanks are playing against the Home plate Ump too

TheWinWarblist said...

Doom. Dread. Despair. Deal with it.

Publius said...

The gold glove finalist...

AboveAverage said...

Schmidt got out of it - COME ON anthony!

DickAllen said...

Those were three pathetic swings by Berti

Joe of AZ said...

I need to find the Masters radio broadcast cuz the Guardian Dick-riding is WILD

AboveAverage said...

run fast, little Anthony

Doug K. said...

Re publus: Yes. I still want them to sign him but saying he's GG quality seems wrong.

JM said...

Trevino....hits?

AboveAverage said...

Good Golly - Trevino buys us a run - Alls Wells that ends wells

Doug K. said...

Sweet

AboveAverage said...

Another FREAKING pick off? WOW

mik said...

Who teaches these guys how to run???? Boone has to be held accountable. Sloppy.

Doug K. said...

STUPID!!!!!!!!

DickAllen said...

Nothing will improve a hitters BA like a draw-in infield

Joe of AZ said...

Gleyber School of baserunning lol

JM said...

And... shitty baserunning. Trevino does suck, after all.

BTR999 said...

Nobody teaches them

DickAllen said...

OMG!! Again?!?!?

Doug K. said...

We let them off the hook

Publius said...

That's a high school play. Verdugo was supposed to take off. Wasn't he? Wasn't he?

JM said...

Is Trevino a Free agent this winter? Can we get rid of him?

BTR999 said...

Yup. But give Trevino credit for hitting it hard, then damn him for getting picked off, which cost us a run

Kevin said...

And Billy Martin spins like an auger in his box... WTF is with this team?

AboveAverage said...

Players with cement legs and/or a soiled diaper for brains should never be given a green light to steal a base. ESPECIALLY in games this important.

mik said...

The fundamentals are not stressed. Players are not held accountable. Boone wants to be a friend but not a coach.

BTR999 said...

Wondering myself if that was a set play or not.

AboveAverage said...

He was set to be re-signed to a five year deal after that rbi single BUT that offer has been reduced to two years after the pick-off

AboveAverage said...

Boone should be watching at home on a couch

Joe of AZ said...

This team is both the best and worst team on the field

Kevin said...

Damn! Boyd after two inning 43 pitches, Schmidt 21. I'd be nervous as hell if I were an Indian fan....

mik said...

Which is why they are just a bit over .500 since early summer.

Joe Formerlyof Brooklyn said...

Watched Soto bust it up the 1B line on a routine grounder.

Watched Stanton loaf.

If Stanton gets paid $28 million, Soto SHOULD get $56 million/year.

All that, plus a Gold Glove nomination, too!

JM said...

WB Mason blew that one.

BTR999 said...

You suck Berti

Kevin said...

DAMN!!!!!!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

Well, this game is over.

AboveAverage said...

UghLee

mik said...

Schmidt is not great but who else do we have? Not a deep starting staff...

Joe of AZ said...

Schmidt isnt getting those border pitches he better do somem else

BTR999 said...

He’s already signed for 2025

AboveAverage said...

Gil warming up yet?

Publius said...

Gleyber doesn't do what every other second baseman in pro ball does...keep tag on

Joe of AZ said...

Put fuckin Rizzo in

BTR999 said...

Bye-Bye Berti

ranger_lp said...

It’s remarkable we’re only down one run…

Joe of AZ said...

NO NOT TIM FUCKIN HILL

Publius said...

Midges?

mik said...

He pulled a muscle. Something about Cleveland's mound is jinxed for the Yankees during the playoffs.

Publius said...

Mayza

Doug K. said...

All their weakneses exposed

DickAllen said...

Trevino is a complete waste

DickAllen said...

Ow is the time to put Rizzo in and get rid of Berti - but is Boooone gonna do that?

DickAllen said...

Pathetic

mik said...

Would have been nice to avoid that DP - that would have scored a run.

AboveAverage said...

Is there a judge’ian blast in their bones?

Hinkey Haines said...

Might as well be 30-1.

DickAllen said...

Boone has got to pinch hit Wells to lead off next inning.

DickAllen said...

And now sit Berti and get a bat in Rizzo’s hands

DickAllen said...

But it all might be too little too late

mik said...

Huge spot for the Judge.

JM said...

Clutch!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

Holy shit.

Doug K. said...

wowowowowowowow

AboveAverage said...

Big Bones!!!’

DickAllen said...

ALL RISE!!!

JM said...

Making a postseason name for himself.

JM said...

Late and clutch. That's what he needs to do.

Doug K. said...

We need a back to back belly to bely here

JM said...

Glasssssss!!!!!

DickAllen said...

Wowowowowowow!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

Holy moly.

Doug K. said...

BACK TO BACK BELLY TO BELLY!!!!!!

AboveAverage said...

F@ck’N YES

AboveAverage said...

Cleveland wieners

Publius said...

You hang it, playoff G bangs it

Hinkey Haines said...

More runs, please.

ranger_lp said...

Clase is blase

Joe of AZ said...

I FUCKIN GAVE UP WATCHING AND MISSED THE COMEBACK!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

Breath-holding time.

BTR999 said...

Judge…

mik said...

Hang in! You never know...

Hinkey Haines said...

Get thru this inning, Kahnle.

Ken of Brooklyn said...

BACK 2 BACK BELLY 2 BELLY WOOWOWOWOWOW

mik said...

Rizzo! Comes in for D and gives up the double. Rizz should have mad that play. Damn.

Hinkey Haines said...

Jesus.

Doug K. said...

Bad feeling after the Rizzo failure

Publius said...

Rizzo looked like a 40 year old guy on a cold night there

Hinkey Haines said...

Why can’t we have nice things?

BernBabyBern said...

And the defensive replacement can't make the play.

mik said...

Don't mind a walk here.

Doug K. said...

those were both strikes

mik said...

How many times can you ask for a 4 out save? Rolling the dice too much.

Publius said...

Last one was too close to take, anyway. Ump shouldn't have rewarded him.

AboveAverage said...

Weaving 4 more outs

AboveAverage said...

Agreed mlk

JM said...

Use the force, Luke.

Doug K. said...

This can't end well

JM said...

Fry is fried.

Hinkey Haines said...

PILE. ON.

Doug K. said...

Yes please.

mik said...

Run Volpe! Move the runner!

Doug K. said...

OK now don't get picked off

Doug K. said...

Maybe this is one of those wild pitch innings

JM said...

Volpe!!! Knocks the ball out!

mik said...

Bad baserunning again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got lucky on that play.

Pocono Steve said...

Wat!

Doug K. said...

They SUCK but it worked out. Now they score on a wild pitch

Joe of AZ said...

V Rod ahh Play

mik said...

Must get that run in. Bad at-bat by Wells.

Joe of AZ said...

God Damn it Wells

BTR999 said...

Knew Wells would K. He’s useless.

Pocono Steve said...

Wells.

Publius said...

The evidence is clear. Wells can't hit a fastball up.

Publius said...

Don't need any more, Boonie

JM said...

Still can get a run on a sac fly.

Hinkey Haines said...

Feels like they have to score or all the momentum shifts.

BTR999 said...

We were lucky on that baserunning blunder by Volpe. Almost interference by Volpe. A buncha drunks out there like Sterling said. Of course with Wells up, you knew we were giving them an out

Publius said...

Wells should have bunted. Safety squeeze. Remember those?

Doug K. said...

Wild pitch. We do it all the time

mik said...

Love those insurance runs.

DickAllen said...

That’ll do Gleyber. Would you rather have Trevino with a bat in his hand In that situation?

Doug K. said...

They should re-sign Torres :)

DickAllen said...

I don’t ever wanna see Trevino in the lineup again. Ever again.

el duque said...

So, an interesting story on climate change tonight on PBS News Hour. Hope you all caught it

JM said...

Rizzo E3. Ouch.

mik said...

Everybody's beating the Rizz tonight.

Doug K. said...

Fucking Rizzo WTF

Joe of AZ said...

Rizzo playing like he expected to have the FULL day off

DickAllen said...

My sincerest apologies for insisting that Rizzo get back in the game

DickAllen said...

Is climate change the reason that Trevino sucks so much?

JM said...

Who'd a thunk it, Dick?

Hinkey Haines said...

For fuck’s sake, Rizzo.

Doug K. said...

Playing like the Cub he was

JM said...

DP!! Weaver

Doug K. said...

Well that was good

DickAllen said...

GIDP!

mik said...

I will Rizzo a big break here - playing with jammed up fingers. If not for playoffs he would not be playing. He is a tough gamer and I appreciate it.

DickAllen said...

Booooone should’ve had Rizzo start, and put Bertie in for defensive in the late innings

JM said...

Article in The Athletic comparing Weaver's pitches last year and this. Pretty incredible.

JM said...

Double doesn't help much. Still only need one out.

Pocono Steve said...

Not one of Weaver's better outings

Hinkey Haines said...

Re Rizzo - then blame Boone for putting Rizzo in a position to fail.

mik said...

Boone is a dope asking for all these 4 out saves. He just does not get it.

JM said...

Yep. Used Weaver too much too often.

DickAllen said...

Fuck

TheWinWarblist said...

Bitty warned us. And you didn't listen. I warned us and I didn't listen.

mik said...

Could not agree more!

AboveAverage said...

Whoops on Weaver

Hinkey Haines said...

Fuck Boone.

DickAllen said...

He throws a change up?

Doug K. said...

Holy shit
Well now we get to see Holmes in the 10th for the save or hold.....

Joe of AZ said...

Given our other options...i dont think he had a choice....Warm up stroman for extras

JM said...

Why are these announcers yelling and going crazy over that home run? They were not at all effusive over the two Yankees homers.

Doug K. said...

So basically it's over. We're doomed

Publius said...

Lost location on fastball. Noel ruled it out. Sat breaking ball. Or, he's tipping.

One way or another, very good guess

Joe of AZ said...

Told you! the amount of Guardian d***sucking theyre doing is incredible

JM said...

Has Cleveland cornered the market on old timey fat guys?

Doug K. said...

We'd be better of with Shirley Chissom

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The Manfred Man was not available for comment...

Doug K. said...

Come on Tony

DickAllen said...

Biggest at~bat of little Tony’s young life

Hinkey Haines said...

Doom.

Publius said...

The Clevelindians walk it off here

DickAllen said...

Doom. Thy name is Holmes

mik said...

Why can't we play small ball?????????

Kevin said...

Never get off the boat.

mik said...

As Han says all the time in Star Wars - "I've got a bad feeling about this."

JM said...

Bye bye.

Kevin said...

Fuck

TheWinWarblist said...

Aroldis Holmes.

Good night.

Fuck Boone.

JM said...

Whoops.

BTR999 said...

Huge opportunity flushed by boone

JM said...

Never expected a sweep, even in going into the bottom of the ninth.

Joe of AZ said...

That better be their last win of the series cant stand these fuckin clowns

Hinkey Haines said...

I hate this team.

mik said...

Running into outs, miss-managed bullpen, these things are coaching problems. What pisses me off even Boone is fired Cashman will hire another kiss-butt clone robot.

JM said...

Boone is the "relaxed fit" of managers.

Joe of AZ said...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The Master said the "Indians" win.

Joe of AZ said...

This loss on Boone

mik said...

He has been calling them the Indians in every game. I love John!

Publius said...

Cleveland in 7

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Almost as good as his nostalgia for "Commander" cigarettes.

Pocono Steve said...

Tonight feels pivotal. Why not 6?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Yes. Yes it is.

Publius said...

2024 Yankees...a little stretch of good-ish baseball (we've had that the last week or so), ended by an ugly
, baffling loss (tonight), followed by a week or ten days of dismal baseball...lost confidence, bad, flailing at bats, indifferent D, brutal baserunning. It's been tje pattern all year. We'll see it really take hold tomorrow.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

mik, Don't we all?

Pocono Steve said...

This team couldn't beat either remaining NL team, anyway. It's just as well.

Carl J. Weitz said...

You meant Jizz Chasm

DickAllen said...

Starting Trevino was a gross mistake - and Berti too. He was resting Rizzo? Seriously? After the guy was one of the few hot bats? What a waste .

Publius said...

It was 20 years ago today...
