Omg should Collins just take pitches for Anderson?

If Vaughn walks does Collins take the bat off of his shoulder

Nothing will keep Goodwin from more abs in this game

I just think the Yankees have a really good offense and sometimes, even twice in a series, you get beat by a lineup of really good hitters late. That’s no reason to rush to sweeping definitive conclusions about proven players’ overall abilities.

Letting Goodwin bat was the real mistake there

Nice yo-yo taking what he gave him. Hopefully that knock breaks his terrible august slump.

Lamb with the 3-0 green light wow

I actually had not seen that video. I’m not doubting Jason’s account, but for a team to nickel and dime saving, what, $100,000 on flights and hotels? on a payroll of this size seems extraordinarily bewildering.

I understand the concept of giving players the day off, but how do you not pinch hit for Jake Lamb and Leury Garcia in the 9th?! How much of an extra toll is one at bat and maybe 3 outs in the field going to put on these elite players?

JFC, no. It’s not “crybabyism” to point out a handful of ridiculously easy decisions a child could have made that our manager didn’t in either game. Those decisions put us in a much worse position to try to win and winning HFA is ridiculously important on a team that struggles with elite competition. It’s one thing when we just get beat by better playing, better managing, better pitching. it’s quite another when a nincompoop leaves his best weapons on the bench because of some bygone hunch from 1974 that is a statistically losing play.

Guys, give TLR a break. He was settling up at the bar during the 9th

So why are Jason and Steve / tv broadcast not traveling with the team? There seems to be a lot of rumors but has the team given an official reason?

What is it with Tony leaving starters in who are obviously struggling with one elite setup man and TWO ELITE CLOSERS

The harder Yoan hits it, the righter-at-someone it seems to be

The math implies every single person vaccinated person has been exposed to COVID, and that simply can’t be true.

Vaughn should be playing every day while he’s this hot. In baseball an off day can interrupt the rhythm of a hot hitter. When he’s slumping give him a game or two off then. Somebody should also tell TLR that old man Leury needs to be plenty rested for his October benchwarming duties…

This telecast is brutal

Seby just hit 3 home runs 5 days ago…

Decided to hit the game in person last minute. Go Sox!

I haven’t looked at the field much beyond Adolis Garcia, but it seems like Andrew might be hitting himself at least into the picture lately…

Has the delicacy been renamed the “Nothingburger” yet?

To sum up your 2021 thoughts: Yermin had completely arrived as a major leaguer after 100 at bats or so, but 3 or 4 bad at bats in between .900 OPS weeks in the midst of a stellar career is all it takes for you to consider Jose terrible again, right? Really it all speaks for itself.

I figured you would avoid the question and resort to an attack like this, but I just wanted to point out to the rest of the board what a obscene hypocrite you are. God forbid you actually take a step back and realize you’re supposed to *root* for Jose Abreu.

@ron883 don’t you owe Jose Abreu FOUR YEARS worth of apologies for the personal attacks, constant undermining of his abilities, weekly threads questioning his status, and other bullshit you’ve been 1000% wrong about and yet foisted on the board over and over and over and over again?

I’m ready to get pelted, but would Zavala on offense/defense really be better than Mercedes as a catcher?
