Bregman of the cheating Astros.
They'd better fucking score here
Crap.
Shat
Volpe took his Adderall today.
mares eat oats and does eat oat and little lambs eat ivy...
Volpe?!!??
Volpe!
Is it me, or are these announcers just loving the Sox? Not Cone, of course.
K on ball four. I like it.
Phew. Good time for a double play there.
Fried fraying.
Espn always does
Let’s see what the bullpen has in store for us tonight.
One run ain't winning this game.
Fried did his job.
Time for offense to show up
Was nice to see a Yankee pitcher covering first.
This is where the game will go off the rails.
Why?
Boone.
✅
I know, what a concept!
Exactly, BTR. This is the kind of game Boone blows.
Fucking Perez is praising Cashfuck's deadline deals? Jesus.
That’s the game.
Weaver doesn't have it.
Weaver is awful. But he's also the best we have. That's CashBrain's bullpen trade deadline magic.
Fried wouldn't have given that up
The fucking bullpen
Boone blows it, asI predicted
Right, LBJ.
With men on second and third and one out, you might consider how poorly Weaver was going and intentionally pass the next guy, then bring in another pitcher. But Boone is an idiot who would never think of such a thing.
What time in the morning is it for you, JM?
2:18
"Life is nasty, brutish and short." ~ Hobbes
At 98 pitches, Crotchit still dispatches the hapless Yankees with efficiency, while the tops of innings take half an hour. Unwatchable.
You called it.
Miss strikes hard is not a good approach to the playoffs.
Boone is an idiot.
Of that there can be no doubt.
So many stupid moves. Where's Rice. You know his 2nd best hitter
Here comes the sweatball.
El chapo in. He could blow it.
Fucked up there.
lifeless team. r.i.p.
Shit.
If only it was Sheffield & Crosby playing out there.
Oh fuck. It's over. Nighty night.
Not surprising…
Remember when Mad king George would sign a player like Bergman just to make sure we didn't have face them in the postseason?
Fuck HAL. And fuck Oklahoma too.
Earnestly fuck HAL.
Heartbeat?
Rolaids…
Maybe time to take some…
All too predictable.
Judge got a hit? In the playoffs? In a close game?
Pathetic.
F Me.
That was awful…
Shithole team.
Same.as.it.ever.was
F all of us.
JM is it still 2:18 in the morning?
Fire Boone already
So, if the playoffs are just a crapshoot, as Brian says, did we throw the dice and get fucked tonight? Is that what happened? Or did we get outplayed, out managed, and beaten by a better built team? Or was it a crapshoot? Asking for a friend.
I'm starting to wonder if Boone isn't somehow doing this deliberately.
Leave the two most enthusiastic players on the bench
Not pinch run for a 37 year old after he singles so that he doesn't even try to score on a fly ball.
Not take a reliver out who clearly has nothing.
There are more but I'm happy that Volpe is elite!
When you take the above and addit to all the other bizarre decisions he's made in other playoff games...
No manager can be this bad. There's something genuinely wrong with him.
I'm just baffled. I expected them to lose—but if you'd told me before the game that:
—Volpe would homer and have another hit
—Goldschmidt and Judge would each have two hits
—Stanton would be up, bases loaded and nobody out in the ninth
—Fried would pitch a good game
...I would have said we win that game...
...This all comes down to the manager and—behind him, just how much we can't know—Brian Cashman.
—You have a 30-30 guy at second base. I know, highly erratic, vastly overrated, but still—a 30-30 guy. And you don't start him in the playoffs because...he's injured? But then you DO pinch-hit him with the game on the line?
—You don't play the young up-and-coming guy with the hot hand, but you DO start your lout of a catcher who did so much to lose you the World Series last year...and hit .219 this year...
...You guys are right. This is, all around, desperate self-second-guessing, self-undermining mismanagement. This is not a great or even, really, good Yankees team. But the competition is as weak in these playoffs as I've ever seen it. And they're going out tomorrow night. Just head-shaking nonsense.
Boone
