The logic is.....Cashman, Boone, and their beloved analytics are stupid.
OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
IMO the walk to O'Neill was the problem. Followed by the ball down the left field line barely fair by Yoshida.
Then Cole folded.
Great to take 3 of 4 from Boston and hopefully put an end to their hopes for making the playoffs.
Boston manager is a cheating a-hole.
On to Seattle.... Gil, Cortez, and Schmidt.

Boone's gonna have some tough decisions to make.
Right now, Cole is not pitching anywhere near good enough to be a top 3 pitcher.
And I think he's a "headcase" right now with no confidence as exhibited in his decision to intentionally walk Devers.
He might go ballistic if not the SP1 or SP2.
Personally, I'd go Rodon, Cortez, and Gil.
Cortez needs to pitch in Yankee Stadium.
Cole is the GUY no matter what the situation is. and, any given game, he can go 7 inn 3 hit 10 k 1 run - it does put Boone in a tough situation- "headcase" does not apply to someone like Cole- it is either physical or mechanical. But maybe- he needs some sort of break or maybe just go with the confidence. That is most likely the only real way to go with Cole.
You sit him and you don't win- you piss him off and you lose your job. You sit him and win- you piss him off. You play him and he doesn't perform, you may still lose your job. But, Cole is not in his head unless there is still a physical issue
I seriously doubt Boone has a clue, in his interview, he said they talked about it all week.
I think Billy Martin Is turning over in his grave.
I think you might be a bit harsh on Cole based on his last outing/recency bias and a bad outing against the Red Sox. Note that all pitchers tend to have bad outings, even Cy Young winners
He's started 15 games this year since coming off the IL.
- Only given up over 3 earned runs 4 times in those starts.
- Conversely he gave up 2 or less earned runs 10 times this season in 15 starts.
- In his prior 7 starts to the Red Sox game he had a 1.6 ERA with an average of 5 2/3 innings with 47 strikeouts (1.2 per inning) & 12 BB's (1.7 per start).
Also note that from an effectiveness standpoint (IMO) Cortez would probably be better than Cole out of the Penn. He might make a great lefty specialist - who can also go long on innings in the playoffs
Next Yankees radio voice? Rumors are true: This TV broadcaster wants to come home

The New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners continue their three-game series on Wednesday night at T-Mobile Park.
Weaver hadn't pitched since Saturday.
Boone got lucky with the Arozorena strike out and could've yanked Holmes on the spot. There was no advantage to leaving Holmes in. Weaver was ready.
Bad managing and still lucked out and got the win.
The Orioles lost again tonight. What happened to them ?
They've sucked since somebody on one of the broadcasts said they were the most talented team in the league.
Like I said in an earlier post in this thread, it's amazing what you can do when you get great starting pitching.

Noticed the Orioles released Craig Kimbrell.Holmes is always good for.....
NYY should release Holmes.
The Martian needs to go back to the Minors & learn how to catch routine fly balls
Well today could be devastating. Cousins and Soto both leave with injuries.
Edit: maybe Soto isn’t leaving.

I hope Brian Cashman was watching today's game to see what a "closer" looks like, as in Seattle's!
And just noticed, the NYY struck out 37X in a three game series.
That's a problem in the playoffs.

Seattle hitters struck out 32 times in those three games.
BTW, Seattle has the best team ERA in MLB.
And the Yankees won two of the three games. They would have won all three if their left fielder could catch the friggin ball.
They would have probably lost a game if J-Rod wasn't a freakin' idiot. It works both ways.
Cashman prefers the home run hitter, over the contact hitter, thus the strike outs that comes with it.
Looking at the lineup it's hard to believe he prefers the home run hitter.
Have you seen Trevino, Rizzo, Torres, Volpe, Verdugo mashing this season ?
Cashman thought they were all HR hitters, but since he sucks at his job, they are not.
Don't forget Stanton, who once again struck out last nite with a runner on 3rd with <2 outs!
Cole with 9 IP, 1 run, 2 hits, 99 pitches…….pretty damn good. Too bad bats are sleeping.
