I...Yeah, Holmes and Sanchez shit the bed no doubt.<br /><br />I just think the pen gets a disproportionate amount of grief compared with its actual role in the Yankees disappointing season.<br /><br />Last night the pen gave up 1 ER in 3.2 IP (2.45 ERA).<br /><br />If the 2019 Yankees were playing last night, it would've been 7-1 or something going into the 9th. Holmes and Sanchez would've coughed up a meaningless run in the pouring rain and none of us would care.<br /><br />I can't tell you how many times this year this has happened. Bullpen gives up 1 run in 3-5 innings, which is a good performance, but we're online bitching about them because that 1 run was the difference in a 2-1 game.<br /><br />The truth of the matter is no bullpen is going to put up a 0.00 ERA every night. It just doesn't happen. So if you play nothing but close games, each run they allow is going to look that much worse.<br /><br />The 2009 Yankees had a 3.91 ERA from their pen, good for 13th in MLB. But who cares? They scored 5.65 runs per game, bludgeoned their opponents, and didn't play close games.<br /><br />Also, I want to point out that earlier in the season - April, May, and June - when the lineup wasn't scoring and our starters weren't going deep, everyone was predicting that the heavy workload on the bullpen would come back to bite the team by the end of the year. Well, it's the end of the year. And we're being bitten.<br /><br />Again, that's on the lineup for not scoring runs early this year.ZacharyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137461064117359216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-40804030863237131672021-09-17T13:31:08.255-04:002021-09-17T13:31:08.255-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ZacharyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137461064117359216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-67149853791504670162021-09-17T13:22:59.030-04:002021-09-17T13:22:59.030-04:00Sorry Dick.

(Impotent Poxed? The Impotent Poxed?) [shrugs] 2 runs is a disgrace. But the proximate cause was giving up an unforced run in the bottom of the ninth. Of course, the Yanks couldn't even get the ghost runner to third in the top of the 10th, much less score him. The Orioles look like a contender with something to play for in the bottom half. They would still be hitting if that first run didn't win it. They looked like they could have put up a dozen runs if they had needed them.TheWinWarblisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781226471237787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-66038382757234480972021-09-17T12:52:52.021-04:002021-09-17T12:52:52.021-04:00Commentariat on fire this morning.Commentariat on fire this morning.TheWinWarblisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781226471237787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-16402200649449397482021-09-17T12:40:40.738-04:002021-09-17T12:40:40.738-04:00ranger,

How many times have people gone on this blog lamenting the fact that they blew games against the RS, the O'S, the W.S. They gave up 6r in the ninth against Houston and lost 8-7, was that the hitters fault? Lost to the Twins in 9th 7-5. They gave up 7r in the ninth to lose to the Angels 11-8. How about the Field of Dreams game 9-8, another Chapman beauty. If they had won these games and few others they'd be 3-4 GB Tampa.

There is a communal sense of foreboding if I read the temperature of this blog correctly. A kind of inevitability their eventual demise, and it's likely to happen in the same excruciating way they lost last night.<br /><br />There's plenty of upside for Harold though. If the Yankees get in, and if they win the WC game, there will be a division series to watch and that will earn The Heir Apparent a great deal of money both in ticket sales/merch/food from the suckers (like us) and the windfall that comes with national television revenue.<br /><br />So, all-in-all, it will be painful to watch, but watch we will, like sitting bedside vigil for an dying relative. One we used to be in love with. But Harold will laugh all the way to the bank (providing he actually has a sense of humor, which I doubt).<br /><br />It's all about the money.<br /><br /><br />DickAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604734658716286250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-85315629437190546422021-09-17T11:25:57.085-04:002021-09-17T11:25:57.085-04:00Doug...
