Colome's Hat

I do seem to recall Liam blowing a save before he went on that ridiculous run in May and he said he went over to watch video and picked up on something, maybe it was pitch selection, and made an adjustment. Perhaps something that might do the trick here.

It should also be said that Liam looked amazing in the first two pitches to Judge. Something happened after that wild pitch. I think he lost confidence in that pitch. If I have to guess, I don't think pitchers have a lot of confidence throwing to Zach. He really needs to go once Grandal is healthy.

Liam has publicly said he doesn't care where he pitches. He knew when they made the trade that this was a possibility. Maybe it's for show but considering his career, I think he'd be fine with it.

Tony pulled him not to run his pitch count up. There's a decent chance that happens tomorrow. That being said, I'd use Kimbrel in the 9th tomorrow and give Liam a save opportunity in Oakland.

Agree. Although I would still, maybe after this tough spell for Liam, split it for the rest of the year. Play it by matchup. Dude doesn't look like himself right now. I don't know whether Thursday night got in his head but he doesn't look right.

I would definitely put him in the 8th and let him do that. He has said he's comfortable pitching in the 8th. I don't think he is this bad but he's utterly worthless without that slider.

If people think the Sox bullpen is bad (it's not), the Yankees bullpen is a fire dumpster of suck. And I would say that with Chapman.

You absolutey have to hit Zavala for Collins

Hell no. I think you play by matchup but the next few outings, I think Kimbrel should get it. Although this also wasn't a save situation.

Prime Rivera averaged 6 blown saves a year, for what it's worth.

Walk Judge

Kopech or Hendriks? I feel like Kopech with a man on base might be worse than Hendriks. But matchups would say Kopech.

My poor fucking mom. lol

I also blame the Sox offense for being utterly inept tonight with RISP.

Are you kidding me? He's a hall of fame closer. He has plenty of value.

He did it in the 8th against Cleveland two weeks ago. Judge is hitting out of this planet right now. He made a bad pitch. Luckily, the Yankees bullpen is a blackhole of suck right now for them.

Playing matchups, I would say Kopech or Kimbrel for the 8th. Actually feel pretty good about the potential ninth for Hendriks given who is scheduled up.

Hope the anti-vaxer brings it.

Best he's looked all year.

Lol. Collins almost framed that into a ball

I don't know man. If you can't see it, especially in the numbers, I don't know what to say. He's still learning how to pitch at the Big League level. Remember how god awful Giolito was?

Dude is in his second full season. He's still learning at the big league level. He's made a lot of progress. It just takes time. It took Garland time.

Yes. Over Cease. But Cease would be great I think coming out of the bullpen for a few innings.

Why he is "polarizing". lol

Once Billy is back, Lamb has to go
