What's gotten into Colson?

Probably because Hudson doesn't have a good breaking pitch.

My problem is that he was clearly sitting fastball because they barely made him think about a breaking pitch. I think he was sitting on that early in the count, but as the at bat went on it was clear that Hudson would just keep pumping him fastballs.

Why would you keep pumping him fastballs in the zone? The one sweeper you threw him wasn't even competitive.

Ballsy to throw Rice 2 straight fastballs in the same spot. Don't do it again.

Nice job to not throw that away

lmao that's why you don't waste a challenge on a 1-0 pitch that's not even close.

Quero WTF

Out of challenges in the 7th with this umpire...we are so screwed

I seem to remember him hitting quite a few warning track shots. He probably shouldn't be doing that long term if he wants to maximize his skill set.

His expected stats have stayed consistent throughout this cold spell. Makes me think he might eventually be a 95-100 wRC+ kind of hitter long term. Which is fine given his defense in center.

Great job by Richards. This ump is pretty bad tho lol.

Wow no challenge on that? That was way below the zone.

I'm thinking they might have to demote him to the pen. His stuff would tick up and he wouldn't have to worry about going through the lineup multiple times. Plus he needs his innings limited anyways.

The Yankees look drunk on defense

Wow the Yankees defense is terrible

Seriously...Yankees defense was comedy central there

That might be the best Schultz has looked since his IL stint.

Torens is amazing defensively. But I don't think he'd fix our hitting issues at the position.

Yeah the only bummer is they blew a very winnable game on Friday. But it is what it is. They're still in good shape thanks to Cleveland having a disastrous week.

They just need to get him back to what he was prior to this year. Forget about him closing, but having him be somewhat reliable in the 7th and 8th would be huge for the bullpen.

Well, we're facing Fried, Cole, and Schlitter in the next series. It's gonna be tough to score either way.

The only problem with scoring double digits is that we've historically done nothing on offense the next day when doing that.

Turns out all we needed was to play a day game at home to start hitting homers again.

You joke but I would have hesitated if we were only up by 6.
