I missed last night's postgame show.
Nope. I opted for the SNAP-OFF, the instant remedy for a lost weekend. After a particularly daunting Yankee fiasco, you should never subject yourself to Aaron Boone. In such moments, rather than facing Mr. Brightside, I recommend the SNAP-OFF.
Nope. I missed the trenchant postgame analysis from the Yankee Deep State propaganda mill, also known as YES. I can only imagine their examinations of the current situation.
1. On Friday, the Yankees were no-hit into the 6th. On Saturday, no-hit into the 5th. Last night, into the 8th. Haha. These plucky '26 Yanks have built a proud, unifying nickname: The Team That Won't Be No-Hit!
2. Jazz Chisholm went a bit crazy and got tossed after arguing a swing. The exodus moments are piling up. The 50-50 claim. The $300 million contract. The errors. The lollypop. His time as a Yankee is running out. We saw it with Gleyber. Since Joggie Cano trotted to Seattle, we cannot keep a 2B.
4. Once again, the Yankees failed in all strategic moments, showcasing weaknesses that cannot be hidden. They have baseball's worst everyday hitter, in Austin Wells. They have an outfield of infielders - Schuemann, Rosario, Caballero - and the sadly inept Spencer Jones, who has fanned 32 times in 65 at-bats. They are now in 2nd place in the AL East, two behind Tampa in the-
SNAP-OFF.

I'm howling at the moon,
From the old June swoon,
The old man, Aaron Boone,
God me laughing like a loon.
The brought the boom,
Those silly goons,
And swept the room
Of Aaron Boone.
Among other frailties, it is now time to wave good-bye to Spencer Jones. He is completely unable to hit major league pitching. The most prudent course of action would be to stash him in the minors until such time what little value he has can be leveraged in a trade,
I'm curious... when Judge first came up, what was his percentage of Ks ?
Oh. His first go round, he had 42 strikeouts in 84 ABs.
The next year, he became the Judge we know today. But he did strikeout 208 times in 542 ABs.
I vote for giving Spencer the benefit of the doubt. At least for a while. He may never be another Judge, but he could be a lot better than this.
Good question, JM. In Judge's first, partial year, 2016, he struck out 42 times in 95 plate appearances, or 44 percent. Jones is currently at 32 Ks in 74 PA, or 43 percent.
So...slightly better than Judge.
Thank goodness that the embarrassment was on Peacock and not on national television...
999, I think that, having no good options, Spencer and The Martian ought to be in the OF every single day. Let's see exactly what they have. Stashing one or both in the minors won't fool anybody on those other teams, which actually have competent front offices.
At least we will have some arms out there.
Meanwhile, "the Snap-Off" is as brilliant as ever, Duque. I mean, WHO KNOWS what might happen next??? That big pop up could be dropped, much as it was by that infielder on the Mets years ago. You never know!
