Matt Ks. Ballgame.

Still a series win.

Matusz had to give up a two two out, two rbi single to give the Yankees the lead, after he had walked a lefty to force in a run three batters earlier.

Our offense disappeared after the fourth inning run.

Right, the three hitters that all scored and cost us a game. LOL

All true. I get what you are saying. I think given the circumstances of our pen being overworked, Matusz first game back and upcoming teams we play all played a factor.

Girardi stole one here and he knows it. The right call was Wilson to start the 5th, and then Matusz starting the 6th against the lefties. Both coming in with bases clean.

Then who pitches in extra innings if we go there? You don't manage in June like it is October. Our starters are hurting the pen right now.

So you are of the belief that "locking" and "mapping" are synonyms?

They had 5 out of 6 left handed hitters up plus Headley. It was the 5th inning of a game in June. Pretty evident Buck did not want to use Wilson today because he was looking at the big picture. If Wright only gets one out in the 5th things might have been different.

It was a 3-2 O's lead at that point. You worry about the extras when you get to the extras.

At the risk of pissing off Roy... Sometimes you have to tip your cap.

I see your point... Buck or Wright or Matusz messed up. But the Yanks stepped up, we didn't. It happens. :noidea:

Yep. In the end, players have to play. Buck wanted an out from Wright that inning and didn't get it. Matusz came up small. The bats went away. Buck probably should have started that inning with Wilson. A couple pitches in I am sure he realized his mistake, but at that point he decided it was a character building opportunity..

      Is Hyde/Sigbot burying another prospect?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Oh agee Kjerstad’s promotion/playing time is not important enough in terms of it’s possible impact on revenue. But there are other player decisions that are/will be.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Last year he went 5.1 innings with 4 hits, 2 earned, 5 strikeouts and 2 walks in his lone start at Camden Yards. For his career against us, he's got a 1.99 ERA in 45.1 innings, 4 wins and 0 losses.  His WHIP against us is 0.927.  It's the lowest WHIP against any team he's faced consistently (I'm not counting interleague eams where he's thrown 8 innings against a team) in the AL outside of the Guardians.  And he's got 23.1 more innings against us than he does them. This bleeping guy owns us.  I'm not expecting much out of our offense tonight but I would absolutely love it if we lit him up like a Christmas tree.

      Kimbrel update. I suspect he's not going to be available tonight.

      Help me understand - bullpen usage

      By SteveA · Posted

      To your point...  Mike Baumann and Yohan Ramirez have combined to throw 2.2 innings in the last 10 days. So really, we pretty much have a 6 man bullpen, because those guys are rarely ever going to pitch, and almost certainly not in close games. So yeah, that's a problem.   It's possible that those 2 could both be replaced by some combination of Suarez, Irvin, and Wells in the pen as the season goes on.    Suddenly you have have a lot more length in the pen as well as guys who you think (hope) can perform adequately in closer games.

      No question they are burying him. He is a MLB ready prospect who would probably be playing for most other teams.  The question is do we get more out of trading him than we get by keeping him in the minors. We don't know if Elias has received any compelling trade offers. I would say the upside of keeping Kjerstad is a hedge against 1) injury to Hays, O'Hearn or Santander, or 2) regression by Cowser. There are many alternate realities in which Kjerstad would be playing regularly even without any trades. So far they haven't materialized, but if they do we will be glad we have him. I would be open to trading him as well as Stowers, but I would not be giving them away. For now, Kjerstad and Stowers producing in AAA is a "good problem to have". If we get to July and we have obvious holes that go unfilled via trade, then something is wrong and it's time to get mad.

      If Hays isn't back this weekend, I think something like this is about what will start to happen, but we are seeing playoff posture these Yankees games. Hopefully Kjerstad is becoming a top expert on the Yankees relievers he might face in one big moment these next 48 hours.

      I don't write that great.  In real life I have a massive stutter and failed my Maryland writing test in High school the first time and had to retake it.   I honestly was just trying to make a joke on the stats driven front office.  I would never imply or act as if your opinion is not wanted.   I think Kjerstad must be in a box of big bat no glove no need to treat like a true prospect.  I was trying to bring that point up in a funny way.  Obviously I failed.  I often do.
