Holmes has blown 10 saves.  

Guess the Yankees have their own Kimbrel

It must stink being a NYY fan right now, that obscene payroll, and your team is stuck in mediocrity.

The Yankees went 1 for 16 with RISP. DJ Lemahieu and Alex Verdugo went 0-11. (Source: Twitter.)

If life was unfettered and fun, the Yankees and Orioles would swap them just as a curious change of scenery experiment. Sorta like Trading Places.

Highly enjoyable collapse to witness last night. The YES broadcast was pretty dour. It was great!

I love watching Soto butcher plays in RF.

No Holmes blown save required: Rox put up a 9-spot in blowout. 
 

Bumping this thread = all is right with the world

Back to 1 game back.

Thanks, Lars. 

Soto is such a bad outfielder. This play wasn't easy, but I swear every time I watch a rally against the Yankees it involves Soto stumbling around and then narrowly missing the ball.

Earlier in the game he started in on a ball that ended up being off the wall.

No questions about Soto’s batting . But playing defense on the field ?  It’s like he is allergic to baseballs ️, smh

Someone is going to pay big bucks for a nearly one-dimensional player. Plus I also question Soto's head. The Yankees deserve him. And we talk about Santander.

Do the Y's talk about limiting him to DH? He's only 24 and so I guess they may think he can still learn to play the outfield?

If they are willing to give him a massive contract to be their DH , I wouldn’t interrupt them

I am amazed that with all of the injuries, the O's are still only 0.5 games back of the AL East lead.
