Amazing game if you are a Yankees fan. Benitez had a history of beaning Tino Martinez, a good guy who had zero part in this beef. Well it’s late in the season, and an intense pennant race between Orioles and Yankees. The Yankees made a late inning rally. First Yanks home run cut the lead. Then Benitez serves another HR, Yanks take the lead. Then next pitch drilled Tino in back. Strawberry had been trying to get a crack at Benitez a few times, to no avail. This time Strawberry circled around stealthily, and like a heat seaking missile, delivered a devastating haymaker 1 Quote

Was half watching the O’s game with the A’s announcers, they whined about Bleday thrown out at home. Did I miss something? He looked out to me. Quote

Gregg Posted June 18 Posted June 18 (edited) While every baseball fan knows there will be peaks and valleys during the course of 162 games. I have to admit I can't remember the last time the Yankees bats went this cold. Five game losing streak and shutout in the last three games. 29 scoreless innings and counting overall. Frustrating times for us Yankees fans. Edited June 18 by Gregg 1 Quote

Pitching has been fine, but the bats have gone ice cold. Just hope they can break out of this slump soon. They need to start winning games again. 2 Quote

I have to admit I can't remember the last time the Yankees bats went this cold. Five game losing streak and shutout in the last three games. 29 scoreless innings and counting overall. Frustrating times for us Yankees fans. There seems to be a correlation between DP LePew returning to the lineup and the offense going to sh!t every year. He's a real energy vampire. Happened last year too. He came back, they still played well the first few games and all of a sudden the bottom fell out and a few weeks later Luis Injurino is joking about the Yankees only having 2 hitters. The Errin' Buffoone June Swoon has been a thing every year since 2021 but part of that is trying to force sunk-cost losing contracts into the lineup. Aaron Hicks, Josh Donaldson, LePew...... The message putting DP back in the lineup is that pay matters over performance. I don't think the players are disgruntled about it but the realization that the team is willing to sacrifice games to try to salvage some value from a washed up player takes the edge off of them. He's a 36 year old slap hitter with zero defensive range, a hardening glove that can't handle short hops anymore, a propensity for hitting soft ground balls that turn into DP's and now he's added high % of strikeouts. He struck out 3x last night against soft-tosser pitching. They should have cut bait 2 years ago but definitely last fall when they put him on the fake IR to get him off the team. Even if he somehow got back to hitting .280 or so the other deficiencies in his game aren't worth it. I mean they rightly let Gleyber Torres go and he was worlds more impactful than LePew. 2 1 Quote
Gregg Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Losing streak over with the 7-3 win today. Hopefully they can get on a roll now. Quote

BADOLBILZ Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Nice break from the annual Errin' Buffoone summer swoone today with the offense scoring 9 and Clark Schmidt throwing 7 no-hit innings to run his streak to 25+ scoreless innings. Hary Snatchez broke up the combined no-no after a questionable check swing no-call. Final 9-0 one hit for the BozO's. 3 straight starts with 6 scoreless innings for Schmidt ties a Yankee record(with 11 others, most recently Sabathia in 2011). Below is the Yankees postgame pod/show that I think is the best to follow after every game. Don't get the soft company line like the YES postgame. In other news Luis Gil threw off the Yankee stadium mound today. Probably 6 weeks out. And last night was probably the best performance for a Yankee prospect this year with Spencer Jones getting 4 hits and maybe for the first time looking balanced and comfortable with a stance adjustment. He has been toying with new stance's all season and wiffing at a high rate. But he has found his power. 14 HR in 44 games is a lot in the minors. @YankeesFarm is good follow. Carlos works hard to post these Yankee prospect videos and give updates on on international signings etc.. 1 1 Quote
4merper4mer Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Cam Schlitter is a can’t miss Yankees prospect. Either he pans out or @BADOLBILZ has the easiest derogatory nickname ever. Win win. Quote

I'm not defending Boone by saying this but over the past few years I question how much sway a manager has versus the front office and analytics crews. Quote
