Why oh why did he bring up Clarke Schmidt if he wasn't gonna start him ?
Not exactly the way you wanna start your career.
OT: New York Yankees 2020 season

Not exactly the way you wanna start your career.
Again tonight....six of nine in the Yankees starting lineup aren't hitting their weight.
When was the last time we've seen five of the starting 9 batters for the Yankees hitting under the Mendoza line? I don't think I've ever seen it.
Has there ever been a DH who's hitting .130 like Gary Sanchez? Yankees should have forgone the DH tonight, I would rather see Gerrit Cole hit for himself.
Tonight's lineup was a real head scratcher. LeMahieu, Tauchman and Kratz on the bench and he picks Sanchez to DH. Mr. Strikeout. The whole league knows exactly how to strike him out by now.
Yup, if the season ended today, Yanks would be in final playoff spot as a wildcard. And Sanchez, batting fifth, got the golden sombrero. 7 k's in his last two games. Even the YES guys are questioning why the guy is still playing.
The Yankees do need to address the injury issue. Last year was incredible as each "next man up" did better than the person they replaced. But that is not sustainable. Yanks do have a lot of good to reat players in their "two deep" to take a football term but the injury issue has just taken it's toll.
Why would they trade him when his value is so low ?
And what could they possibly get for him ?
In this 60 game season, I was pretty optimistic they would easily win 40 games. It looks like they'll be LUCKY to go 500.
Again this year, the strikeout ratio is astounding. Unlikely that Judge and Stanton get in a groove if/when they return. With no B1G football, 2020 really sucks.
I'm pretty sure all mgmt gets a "pass" this year, but if I'm the Steinbrenners... I'm giving the current bunch only one more season to win a WS.

I guess advanced metrics that say that batting average doesn't matter don't take into account when half the lineup can't even bat .200. Someone needs to change something because this is brutal to watch.
Realmuto is going to make at least 20 million a year in free agency for many, many year. Do you really want to do that? It's a Stanton contract in the making.
First Stanton got his contract based off two years being hot. Never a defensive good player. Where are JTs flaws??
Another thing about his two good years.
HE was in a very weak devision. With The Mets
The Phil's and Washingto n all sucking.
Well, even if they don't make the playoffs their manager will make sure that they're well rested by then.
If the Mets get that new ownership... JT will playing with Alonso.
I'm not saying he's not worth good money or is a huge upgrade, but how many years and how much money do you want to give a catcher that will eventually become a DH down the line when you already have multiple DH type players on the roster? When Joe Mauer got his big contract, Minnesota regretted that contract for years. I admit he does not have many flaws right now.
What DH players will be on the roster 5-7 years from now? He is only 29 and doesn't have a history of anything that says he can catch in a few years.
Toronto scores 10 runs in the 6th inning.😅 The Yankees right now are complete dogshit.
They finally get some hitting and the pitching staff stinks it up.
They get good pitching and then they can't score.
An utter collapse of historic proportions before our very eyes.
I'm effing done for this year.
See you guys.

I turn off the game thinking that they'll be okay with a 4 run lead. I guess that was a big mistake. This team really blows right now... how on earth does a team go from being a World Series favorite to being in the bottom half of the league?
Green and Ottavino were absolutely awful.
And Boone stuck with O well after it was obvious he didn't have anything.
Terrible, terrible loss. This team is collapsing.
They certainly need a change. There were some questionable decisions made in this game. Pitching to Gurriel in the 6th, who already had two hits in the game, instead of pitching around him to load the bases and pitch to Vilar with his .179 average to try for a double play, bringing Otto in, who works best with a clean slate, with 2 men on clearly was a huge distraction for him. It seemed like they all relaxed once the lead was at 4. It's like they're just following a checklist and going through the motions. They used six pitchers tonight and have to pray Happ of all people can go 7 tomorrow because the bullpen needs rest.
If they don't start playing like the team we think they are instead of the way they've been for the last few weeks the bullpen will be getting plenty of rest real soon.
Stanton is there until 2028 or something like that. I'm not against JT at all, he's a good player. They can gladly dump Ellsbury's money into signing him. I just think it will turn into a long term problem.
He really impressed me. Totally unflappable, has four pitches, a rising fastball which, right now at least, is fooling a lot of people.
Frazier's been good in right field lately too. His defense has really improved, and he's turning into a hitting machine
