The issue is walking Gardner.

Just a little bit low. Almost the same pitch that called for a strike the pitch prior.

Can't walk Gardner right in front of Judge...ugh.

Gardner is such a pest, same with Wade. Both guys have crap numbers but they're so annoying.

First slider was not great, lucky LeMahieu hit it right at Robert. If he's gonna have success today, that slider has to be good.

Edit: wrong thread

Maybe they'll rethink how they'll pad the fence for the game next year.

I agree. I thought we had Judge after getting him to 2 strikes, then the wild pitch happened and Liam couldn't get a slider even close to the plate. He actually threw a really good one to him on the 2nd pitch.

Liam is a real issue right now. Closers are weird and if they lose their confidence we may be in for a rough ride in this bullpen.

His fWAR went from 1.8 on Wednesday to 1.2 after tonight's game. -0.6 WAR in just 2 games. That's hard to do.

Offense got hits but couldn't score.

TA swinging at balls again...

Need Seby to walk again.

Abreu in. You can probably argue he should have been in to begin with.

Chapman was the reason they sucked so bad. He's gotten better as of late, but when he was broken he was doing what Hendriks was doing, but probably a bit worse.

No way Britton stays after that.

I want to see TA against Britton again.

Oh shit. Let's go AV!

At least we got the tying run up.

Goodwin getting another AB against a lefty.

It's close now I think. Liam probably lost about 0.5 WAR in 2 games. This is a Chapman-esque melt down.

I thought about something similar. Weird to let Liam face these guys again after he just got crushed 48 hours prior.

If you walk Gallo there you walk him, don't give him a center cut fastball to crush with 2 AAA guys on deck.

We're gonna be facing lineups like this in October. Liam can't be giving up 7 runs and 3 bombs to them in October in just 2 games.

Apparently Liam is just Australian Jose Ruiz when he faces the Yankees.
