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.

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

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clay Holmes has already been shipped off to the Cubs. 20 minutes to go….there better be something else coming.

Dominguez...down 3 runs, left handed pitcher...tries to steal 2nd and overslides.

One of the lowest baseball IQs you'll ever see.

Should have traded his stupid azz for two broken bats and a bag of seeds.
And take Chisholm with him.

BTW: Perhaps Cashman should stop acquiring guys that played for the Rockies???
Now, 0-3.

Dominguez & Volpe to AAA. Lombard Jr. up to the Bronx today.
One could argue thar mgmt has really jerked Dominguez around for two years, but when given opportunities, has just been too inconsistent.
His issues seem mental.
Volpe...just not a future in NY.

Cashman's excuses for not getting needed upgrades is pathetic.

You have to give something to get something.
Bullpen help was available.
He just wasn't able to get it done.
Consequently, we see the 8th inning vs St Louis.
