OT: NY Yankees 2026 Season Thread

[93RUDoc]

We have a band aid lineup tonight, but the yankees are embarassing themselves, its like the keystone cops out there. And of course Boone doesnt challenge an obvious out at third base. OK thats better 9-4 now

The Yankees win. Theeeeee Yankees win !
And maybe they found their right-handed batting catcher.

 

[93RUDoc]

Wow, Heart of our order out, Judge, Stanton, Bellinger, thank god our piching is good, starting and lowest ERA in the bullpen, our defense has been poor lately, each game is gonne be ugly but last night we won despite poor defense.

 

[Kbe4]

Another strong start from Cole.
And who thought Volpe and Schuemann would provide the offense ?

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

I’d like to get to a place where every fly ball isn’t an adventure.

 

[Kbe4]

Well, i

I’d like to get to a place where every fly ball isn’t an adventure.

Chicago is called the Windy City for a reason.
Anyway, how many ways did the Yankees give away that game last night ? That backup catcher's two-out attempt at a pickoff of the runner at third was about as dumb as it gets.

It is simply incredible how bad this team is at getting runners in from 3rd base with less than 2 outs.

Yesterday it's Grisham. Today it's Dominguez.
Yankees lose both games as a direct result.

This team is complete shiit.
I hope they miss the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the trillion dollar outfield is on IL and still getting paid.

There are exactly two hitters in the Yankees lineup that are currently hitting over .250.
Rice at .269 and Goldschmidt at .254. And neither of them are exactly on fire right now.
If it wasn't for the pitching they'd probably be in last place by now.
I guess they figure the staff will keep them afloat until Judge, Stanton, and Bellinger return.
The last two games in Chicago may have shown them that they might have miscalculated.
I share your frustration though. Yesterday and today were brutal...especially for the starting pitchers.

I've lost count how many "Ws" Schlittler has lost with shiity late inning meltdowns by his teammates.

Is it just me or are the Cubs unis today God-awful?

It’s that City collection crap. These are better than the Wrigleyville ones before but I hate when they’re not in the classic pinstripes on Friday afternoons. As Kay said, reminds you of the Expos.

I was thinking a MAC football team but YES!!!

 

[T2Kplus20]

Interesting, seems pretty reasonable:

 

[Kbe4]

Here are the batting averages of the nine guys starting for the Yankees at Wrigley tonight:
.200, .249, .234, .228, .224, .244, .236, .235, .239.
What do they figure Fried is supposed to do for run support ?

 

[Kbe4]

On a positive note, Camilo Doval won't be blowing any more games for the Yankees.
I can't believe the Pirates gave up something for the guy.

Um, some guys are on the DL, but you should already know that.

 

[Anon1750875978]

MLB stats say NYY has one of the best bullpens in baseball.

Damn, I'd hate to see the worst bullpen!

 

[Kbe4]

Two more great pieces of news: Boston is now only 2 1/2 games behind the Yankees.
And the Dodgers just traded for Skubel.
Yeah...it's our year.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Today’s starting pitcher for the Cubs strikes out 7% of the battery he faces. So far? 4 Yankee batters to the plate, 4 Yankee strikeouts.

SMDH

 

[AreYouNUTS]

5-straight

The offense is such a weak azz collection of swing and miss batters.

Oh, and another observation...someone teach Dominguez to hit the cutoff on flyballs.
Just absolutely terribly low baseball IQ.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Solid trade:

What do you expect from a Martian.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Trying to understand how the Garcia trade fits the team???

Team needs a catcher, 1/2 relievers, a right handed bat that plays 3B, and now they acquire a guy that's primarily a 2B when Chisholm doesn't want to play 3B.

Maybe they pull something off tonite or Monday, but right now...the only good thing Cashman has done is jettison Doval/Bird.

I’m pretty sure he can play any position in the infield, he’s hitting 285 with 23 home runs and what, 75 RBIs? My guess is either Jazz or Volpe are on the way out by tomorrow night. I don’t see how this isn’t a positive edition?

Love your predictions on Volpe/Chisholm.

The Garcia acquisition also hints that Judge/Stanton aren't returning anytime soon.

During yesterday's game I thought there was rather favorable update on Stanton. Maybe begins to face live pitching? I believe there was a positive update on Rodon as well.
