Was listening to sports radio this morning and they discussing Cora as a potential replacement for Boone if he wasn’t to make it after this year. I personally would never want to see Cora in pinstripes.
No way in hell! Just sports blow hards trying to boost their ratings.

Our bullpen is very worrisome.
Yep....but to be fair, the misplay by McMahon contributed

Gil needs to be in Triple A right now working on fastball command and whatever they believe is his best off-speed pitch. Ditch the rest for now and work on gearing up for one inning stints. Hopefully, they will be able to find his lost velocity as part of that

Every 9th inning with Bednar has been stressful weather it has been his fault or not. He's just not that good. He did give up an earned run and allowed 2 hits. His ERA is 3.55. That's not closer ERA material. And Cruz enters again and starts off pitching batting practice. His EA is 3.60. Boone loves him. It's crazy. He sucks. Only a miracle play by Cruz saved that inning. Fact remains the bullpen continues to give up runs regardless of who is pitching. Only Hill has been dependable.

Watching the Yankees game with right now and I have to wonder after seeing the Yankees fail so many times asking for a review on a low pitch and almost always being wrong. I see pitches that are outside being called strikes and they never ask for a review on them. They need to stop with the low pitch reviews and start asking for reviews on these obvious outside pitches.

Eovaldi locking us down right now. Our phenom just brought up today is struggling with his command. I'm sure he's jacked up. His family flew in from Puerto Rico.

Typical of the Yankees luck The Martian gets injured in his first game being called.

And only down 2-0 the bullpen promptly gives up a run.

If we ever do a bullpen game the opponent will score 20 runs.

And now we have to be subjected to the Orioles network for 4 games, and 7 games in the next 14 days. I'll mute them after the 1st inning each game. That is all of them I can take. I despise the blackout rule. The O's are considered my home team, although Washington and Atlanta are closer to me. Who makes this inane decision?

Will Warren ha been quite impressive thus far.

I made it to the 2nd inning before I had to mute the O's announcers. They talked about Alonso's home run non stop for 10 minutes as if he had just won the World Series with a walk off home run. Nauseating how much they are homers. Never drift form the game just constant chatter, such as describing every pitch 10 different ways. I miss Michael Kay and Paul O'neill talking everything but baseball and cutting up. It's not necessary to describe every little thing about the game. We can see what is going on.

I am becoming very impressed with Warren. He was great last night.

I agree on the announcing...the O's guys are horrible, but at least without Palmer they aren't quite as bad. Kay and O'Neill are the best duo in the game.

Your are right!

Jim Palmer is the most annoying, crying homer there is. wah wah wah "That's a Yankees call right there, you're not going to get that strike call against the Yankees, of course the Yankees control all the money," etc. I think the O's network annoucers are made to be homers. They are employed by the O's.

YES is independently owned and whoever is calling with Kay in a particular game can speak their mind concerning anything Yankees. And Kay will rip Boone and the Yankees on occasion on his pregame talk show at 3:00 PM.

If Bednar eventually shows he can't close anymore, who do the Yankees go to? Holmes, Devin Williams, and Weaver are all gone.
