Yeah but...upgrading the back end of the bullpen would be nice...if the Yankees didn't have a good number of other areas that needed their attention.
Yarbrough was excellent tonight in three innings of relief for Cole, who looked like his old self.
And the offense scored 6 runs tonight, after 5 last night. And Bellinger should be back this weekend.
See...it's not all doom and gloom.

Just a few days ago you were crying about them dropping to 3rd place, good God Amigo.- - - - - - Make up your mind.

The Yankees will be in third place in their division any day now.
I honestly don't know which was a worse experience for me....watching the Rutgers football defense in 2025 or the Yankees offense in 2026.

The Mutts season must be over for you to be in a Yankee thread!

If you were watching this Yankees season you would understand the incredible ups and downs throughout 2026.
It's been remarkable. One day they'll convince you that they'll never win another game and the next they'll have you believing that they couldn't possibly lose another game.

Lombard and Jones have given this team some energy that seemed missing earlier.

Now, if we could just see Chisholm and Grisham play with some sense of urgency!

Hard to complain after a 5 game winning streak, but…..

1st inning: runner on 3rd, one out; does not score
2nd inning: runner on 3rd, one out; does not score
9th inning: lead off double; does not score

Lose by one.

So true.
And it's not like we haven't seen this type of baseball a lot from the Yankees.
Worst clutch hitting team in MLB.

Yup, pretty much all I have left is to watch another October crash and burn. Mutts fans, Stankees fans, whatever, who cries more is the question. Every year you guys win 90+ and cry like mother forkers, too funny. However, in modern baseball eras (such as since 2010), the Yankees have accumulated the most postseason appearances without a title in specific multi-year stretches. Come another October, I like my chances despite another historically, embarrassingly weak American League. A division winner could be sub .500 as well as a Wild Card team. Long gone are the cries of Yankees fans complaining that they play in the AL East, the strongest division, lol.

The pictching, defense has been solid, Bellinger coming back this week, pray for Judge to come back soon and We will go far in the playoffs

I don't think the 5 mil made the difference. I heard it was the clothing allowance for Soto's mother that sealed the deal for the Mets.
BTW, Mets fans need to shut up. I'm hearing some people say that, given their huge payroll and lack of results, they may be the worst team dollar-for-dollar in MLB history.

^^^ This one bears repeating.

The usual subjects, Ramos amd Wells, not getting it done.

Someone, anyone, tell me why Cashman traded for Ramos and didn't upgrade over Wells???

Anon1750875978 · Tuesday at 10:45 PM

Imagine this...Yankee bullpen loses another game.
This time the Astros.

Cruz is truly pitching like dogshiit. He really must not want to be on the post season roster?
Good thing Cashman didn't acquire bullpen help at the deadline.

I knew the Yanks were in trouble when Warren was consistently pitching from behind. I've seen him pitch better than he did last night.
I don't know what they'll do with him when the rotation is solidified for the playoffs as Cole, Fried, Schlittler, Rodon, and Weathers.
On the bright side it was nice to see Garcia and Bellinger provide some badly needed pop to the offense.

Kbe4 · Thursday at 12:39 AM

Elmer Rodriguez finally looked like the Yankees top minor league pitching prospect tonight.
And Luis Garcia jr. looked like a quality improvemen to their offense.
Nice win over the Astros. 9-3.

Like beating a dead horse, but NYY are such a terrible team at fundamentals.
Defense, base running, advancing runners is just stuff kids learn as youngsters.

And there are seldom ramifications from Boone and Cashman when they happen.

One final comment today. I fully expect Stanton will never see the field again as a Yankee.

I thought beating a dead horse was sorta your thing.
Also, many Yankees fans have thought Stanton had already played his last game for the Yankees for a while now.

George is rolling over in his grave with this franchise in it's current state.

Kbe4 · 2026-08-29T00:08:51-0500

A real nail-biter tonight. Goldschmidt provided all of the offense with a solo home run. Bellinger threw out the Bosux best scoring attempt with a great throw to get the potential tying run at the plate Final score 1-0.
Schlittler wasn't even at his best...with 5 walks. Nevertheless, a huge win.
Now two more tomorrow and one on Sunday with Boston before heading out to start a west coast road trip on Monday.

Almost everyone now looks back with fondness at the King George era. But if you lived it (or perhaps forgot) it was Gabe Paul and Gene Michael that built the foundation for championship teams while George was suspended first in the 70s and then again in the early 90s. He mellowed in his later years after the Dynasty in the late 90's - early 2000's that Michael mostly had engineered.

Agree, and George made changes when things weren't going well.

Boone and Cashman wouldn't be still in their positions with George.
