bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha.....bwah ha ha ha!!!!!

We absolutely effing stink right now.

4-4 in extra's against a somehow very good team? We don't stink, the umps gave away an out and a baserunner in a close game. This is on them right now....

I have no facts to back this up. But my gut tells me that's because most of the runs he has been allowing are charged to the pitcher he is relieving. How many inherited runners has he had that he let score?

I have no idea. Doesn't matter now. Mariano will show JJ how a team closes a game out.

He can't pitch in big spots right now, it is obvious now he freaking gets Matusz up, brilliant managing Buck.

Sick to my stomach. Yankee fans don't deserve this kind of team. Man I want to punch those loud chumps in the face as I see them cheering in our stadium. Wow this is as bad a streak as we've had in QUITE some time....

hoping it can end next half inning!

Buck managing the end of this game with his head firmly up his arse.

Uses Johnson against 3 straight lefties and then brings in strop in the 10th.

Sorry, he's no genius, we were lucky last year, end of story.

He's not the brilliant tactician some of our fans like to think he is.

    • They all look like easy re-ups but if you do that than you do not have any spots available for an upgrade and the pen needs at least one upgrade.
    • Yates was very good in 2023 after returning from injury. In 2024 he was nearly as dominant as he was in 2019. He injured his arm in 2020 and missed all of 2021. I doubt he’s signing a 1 year deal. He’s a much better pitcher than either Soto or Dominquez. So the simple answer to your question is …..You can’t 
    • The splits for the second half definitely do kinda look like that on the surface, but it was more an issue of one awful slump, rather than an overall second half swoon, especially in 2023. In 2023, he really just had a terrible week or so, which unfortunately happened to be the last week of the season. He went 0 for his last 23, dropping his OPS from .855 to .801 in the process. Prior to that dreadful week, he’d posted an .846 OPS in the second half. This past season, of course, it was almost a whole terrible month — starting right around the day Mountcastle went out. From 8/18 to 9/15, he put up a .411 OPS over the span of 80 PAs. Absolutely awful. But sandwiched around that malaise were two good second half stints, with a combined .926 OPS in 130 second half PAs before and after that tailspin.    Anyhow, I don’t think there’s any way they decline that option. The guy is a quality hitter, so even if they do want to move on — which I don’t think they will — he’d have value to somebody at that relatively low price. Especially if they were willing to eat a few bucks to sweeten the return. If they somehow get a bona fide starting RF from outside the organization, then I think maybe they move him. You don’t want him blocking Kjerstad again, but at present, I think it’s reasonable to imagine that they could both find 400-500 PAs. 
    • Im not sure what the deal is with Holliday-to-CF truthers, but he was above average by OAA, average by UZR, and slightly below by DRS at 2B, so it feels like we should give him the opportunity to improve there rather than move him to a position he hasn't really played in his career.
    • If that’s the case , then they can trade Bradfield for other options 
    • Perez seems like an easy re-up to me. You need arms, they're not all going to be perfect. He's got some strengths.
    • Garcia is getting some pub from different spots.  Could be a major riser.
