Looked like it was going to be a blowout early this one’s on pitching.
Anyone know who was announcing with Kay sounded like don lagreco
 
Holmes is toast. The job of a closer has always seemed like a joke to me. Closers Rest all game and watch everything that’s transpired. Are usually provided ample time to warm up and get their heads on straight. Get called in to get a few outs typically against tired players that have just played for 3 hours. How do these closers ever blow a save! It’s not like a pinch-hitter that all of a sudden gets thrown into a game and is expected to hit - so it never surprises me when a PH strikes out. But blown saves should almost never happen.
Yep- MR was so overrated- didn’t need him at all for all those championships. 😳

Listen, I love Mo as much as the next guy and is the only autographed jersey I own, but there are plenty of guys that logged way more innings to put the Yanks in a position to make sure Mo even had a job during those championships. Saves don’t exist unless the starters and middle relievers take care of business. On a separate but related note, I always found it interesting that pitchers have a bullpen to warm-up and strategize = why isn’t there a batting cage for guys to prepare for at-bats or pinch hitting?

Pretty sure most stadiums do have batting cages inside somewhere.

Probably right but I’ve never seen a hitter (starter or pinch) head to the batting cages for a few minutes during a game. At least, you’d think the networks would show coverage like the do the bullpens if that was the case. IMO pinch-hitting is one of the most difficult roles on a team.

I can think of one...

 
To be honest it doesn't excite me if Judge does or doesn't hit 61 or 62. This is purely a sports media thing. 61 homers has been passed already 6 times. Yes I know the Yankees connections thing. I'm more concerned about the Yankees getting on a roll like the first few months.
It is also the chase for the American League record…
Yankees still need to find a way to a WS win but to hold both the Yankee and AL record is pretty significant.

Not to mention potentially surpassing a fellow by the name of Ruth in the record books is rare company.

According to one of your posters- just use anyone, it isn't that important
OK, scratch my pick of Loiasiga, he can't have two good outings in a row either.

The bullpen really went to shit when King was lost.

Yet another monumental collapse Tuesday night.
 
Holmes is done, but hell of a 9th for the Yanks. Judge hits 60, Stanton with the walk off grand slam. In the 9th, 5 batters, 5 runs.
Wouldn't surprise me if Chapman closes come post-season. Holmes hasn't exactly seized the job this season.

I agree his absence has really hurt us. When
is he expected back, or is it for the year.
 
What a ninth inning. Great motivation!
Ha Ha. I was talking how the 5 guys brought in before Chapman were able to give up 7 runs in a little over 2 innings after Nestor left.

Total garbage and a ominous sign ahead of the playoffs.

Boone has to be looking at his pitching coach with a WTF expression.

Right elbow fracture - but latest report (from July) was no ligament damage so no Tommy John surgery. Will be out for the season. Severino and Britton coming back soon so that helps the overall staff.

Sevy started tonight and looked great.
 
Cole, Cortes and Sevy as your 3 playoff starters. Not that bad is everyone pitches up to their potential. Now it's the bullpen to figure out the last 2 weeks.

5th inning Judge with 2 walks. Bosox pitcher hasn't walked anyone else.

How can he break the Babe's record
if they pitch around him every time? Yes he would break the Ruth record. Ruth hit 60
in a 154 game season. Maris in 162. If Aaron
hits one tonight in will be in 148 games. So
Judge would have the American League Record.
 
Judge with a frozen rope to second to cut down a lead off double in the top of the ninth
 
This aged well.
In your defense, LOL, tonight Holmes turned around and pitched two really sharp innings. Hopefully the relievers take these last 2 weeks and try to find some consistency. This whole one night this guy has it, two others don't rotation is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Have to include Taillon in the mix especially since Cortes is on an innings count. German will probably be used as a long reliever.

Bullpen is a game of roulette right now. No idea what you’re getting from anybody from one night to the next.
