It's been a long time between blog posts and I have a lot to say, so hang on fans.
This is going to be a long off season waiting for baseball to resume in 2022. There are so many questions. How long will the owner/player collective bargaining take? Could there be a delay to the start of the 2022 season? What rule changes will be implemented or restored? Will there be a designated hitter in the National League? Sticky stuff agreement? Dead ball or juiced ball? New commissioner or does the dolt imbecile Manfred stay? Will Hal Steinbrenner spend and try to build the Yankees? Who will the YANKEES get rid of by hook or crook, deal or dump? Will the top minor leaguers be given a chance to play on the big stage if any prove themselves in spring training or continue to be held back? Will manager Aaron Boone ever say a negative about anyone who doesn't go all out? who always swings from the heals? who does not hit against the shift when it is right there in front of them? passed balls? dumb base running? constant misplays? not hitting behind runners? watching their batted balls that could be doubles or triples turn into singles because they did not run hard? and my pet peeve, failure to score runners from third base with less than two outs?
I would like to congratulate the WORLD CHAMPION Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 World Series. The Braves are the best team in baseball and their players are the best in baseball for what they accomplished in winning the World Series. Each year, as always, only the best team and the best players win the World Series. This is irrefutable no matter what the stat frauds would like you to believe. No individual stat or combination of stats overshadows why baseball is played...it is to win games. Baseball has set rules as to how teams qualify for the playoffs, right now it is ten teams based on winning and wins. Nothing else matters. Advancement through the playoffs is based on wins and winning. Nothing else matters. The best team and players are the last one winning the final series of the season, the World Series. Nothing else matters. Do not believe the words, excuses, denials, and lies from the stat frauds. Nothing is more important than wins and winning. The following paragraphs discusses wins and winning,
It is amazing how you can define almost every game by production when it matters most. Production when it matters most wins games and winning games is the desired result you want from the players on your team. The players who are more interested in their individual stats and value them more than the team winning are the players you do not want on your team.
That is how the WIN METHOD values players. Each year players are valued on how far they help lead their team. One, the ten teams who make the playoffs. Two, how far the players lead their team into the playoffs. Third the players who reach the World Series and win the World Series.
The ten teams that reach the playoffs have reached the highest level of competition by eliminating two/thirds of the other teams. Now the best are playing only the best for a very short timeframe. That is when produce when it matters most reaches its highest level.
Each series a team is eliminated until you reach the final two teams, the best of the best.
Voila, you have the WIN METHOD, undeniably the best player evaluation tool in the world. No made up convolute man made fake and useless formulas. No exit velocity, no how far a ball is hit, no how much nor how many and individual reached. No fake ERA's. WINS is all the matters and WINS and winning is the only stat that determines the best in the game.
Why do stat frauds hate, bemoan, demean, and deny the WIN METHOD? Stat frauds live by individual statistics. Their best players are only the best based on their numbers. They do not care if their high individual stat players do not help their team make the playoff, the stat frauds just blame the other players on the team. However when the players with lesser individual stats lead their team to the playoffs and beyond and even win the World Series the stat frauds do not recognize them as the best. I guess the stat frauds players who produce most when it matters most is just dumb luck. In my opinion stat frauds and the word dumb are synonyms.
Why haven't the YANKEES made the playoffs since MR. S. passed away? There is only one answer. The answer is the person running the team, Hal Steinbrenner. There have been many opinions expressed all through the sports media and other sources regarding Hal's operating priorities, his direction, his wisdom, and more. No one knows for sure and all are just guessing. But, whatever Hal is doing, it appears it needs to change direction and it needs to change to a positive direction. In my opinion, I believe much of the problem is the analytics being used. Numbers and stat sheets do not win games, players on the field playing baseball for the team to succeed wins games.
Here is a fact for all baseball fans to think about. Since the inception of the WIN METHOD the YANKEES have had the best record in baseball. The most wins and least losses than any other team in either league despite the present owner and his decisions. His father gave him a golden goose and he is turning it into a tarnished golden goose. Time for some polish and elbow grease Hal.
So, now we watch and wait to see what the YANKEES do this hot stove season. It is up to them, nothing any fan or pundit says or thinks makes a difference. I feel I have done my part in advising on WIN METHOD players. Not everyone chosen and or signed by the YANKEES is WIN METHOD. I can do nothing about that, I do not coach nor manage nor run the team. Mr. S. was a strong and staunch believer in the WIN METHOD since its live inception. The success of the YANKEE team from the WIN METHOD inception until the death of Mr. S. was extraordinary. Hal Steinbrenner is not his father and that alone may be the biggest issue why the YANKEES haven't reached the WORLD SERIES for far too long now. Let's see what happens in 2022. We can only hope things change for the positive..
LET'S GO YANKEES

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 1941 Newer› Newest»Happy day off, enjoy. You deserve it.
Its refreshing to see someone like Rizzo whose been a significant player for a long time do so many things to help his team WIN. Every hitter is going to have stretches when he doesn’t hit, but there are so many other things he can do to help his team WIN. Whether its making a great defensive play. moving a runner, smart baserunning, choking up and making contact when needed, etc. We’ve seen Rizzo do all of the above. For me, that’s the beauty of game. I continue to maintain if you watch enough baseball and know what you’re looking at you’ll know who the good/WINNING players are. That is the WIN METHOD.
Two series sweeps in a row. Playing well. The only thing I see being needed is an upgrade or two of a couple of players as long as the chemistry and camaraderie are satisfactory.
Individual stats are only a means to keep score. Wins is the only stat that determines the best teams and players.
Any team can beat any other team on any given day. You just have to stay focused, produce when it matters, offensively, defensively, and pitching.
Back in action again. Try for another win and another series.
Taillon will lead off the series for the good guys.

Lineup RRL three times. Take game one formula, good pitching, hitting producing when it matters most.
Judge 2 run and Stanton solo home runs give Yanks quick first inning 3-0 lead.
Taillon a little off today and is working hard. Yankees up 3-2 after three. Need more runs.
Rizzo three run HR in 7th puts Yankees up 8-4.
Final. Yankees win 10-4. Taillon had a bad game tonight and could not finish five innings. Taillon went 4+ innings giving up 4 runs 9 hits and a walk. Luetge, Peralta, and Marinaccio pitched the final five innings allowing 0 runs 3 hits and 0 walks. Luetge earned the win and Peralta a hold. There was no save. Stanton solo HR, Judge 2 run HR, and Rizzo 3 run HR.
Yankees win 10-4, but were only up 5-4 after 5 innings. bullpen with 5 scoreless innings for the win.
Game one of this series is in the win column, tomorrow game two with Cortes starting.
Great use of the bullpen last night by Boone and great job by the trio with five shut down innings.
After seeing Luetge and Peralta last night the twinkies will see a lot more of what they got last night from Cortes tonight. 😀😀😀
Hey Yankee fans. Wouldn't it be great if the Yanks take the Twins series and when they come back home for a weekend series with the Cubs, all of us Yankee fans who can get to a game this weekend, come to the Stadium and cheer on our team in a frenzy of ecstatic joy to show our appreciation and support with cheer after cheer. I'll be there.

A win tonight takes this series. Let's go Yankees.
Scoreless thru three.
Final. Yankees lose 8-1. The Yankees haven't played a game like this in a long time. A full-scale clunker. Poor pitching, poor hitting, and poor fielding. That trio will lose just about every game. Series even at one, with rubber game tomorrow. Need a win to take series.
Better get a good night's sleep guys.
Watching the game tonight was painful.
Both Taillon and Cortes with poor outings last two days. Both coming after they each had great efforts the games prior. Both flirting with no-hit games and combined only giving up one run. Both threw over 100 pitches in their great games with and much pressure. The two games this week neither lasted five innings and neither were sharp.
Cole starts tonight and he also had a great outing last time out, also flirting with a no-hit game. Let's see how he fairs tonight.
YankeeMike, Cole has thrown over hundred pitch games multiple times this season. He will be fine and as the ace of the staff will win tonight allowing the Yankees to win this series.
YankeeMike, I agree. Baseball is so much a mind game, pressure, circumstances, etc. When both Taillon and Cortes got caught up in their no hitter games, there was a strain on their mind and a strain on the bodies and arm, which reared its head in the next game for each.
Tony Gigante, Yes, Cole has been thru the mill many time over his career. I think and hope he will be fine for his game, which is tonight.
I will not be surprised when both Taillon and Cortes excel in their next starts.
After last nights debacle, all the Yankees need to do is pitch better, hit better, and play better defense.

Stanton out. After last night he should be given some time to think. Need a win for the series win.
Win tonight, win this series, come home and win the weekend series. Yes you can.
Cole gives up three solo home runs in first inning putting Yanks in hole 3-1.
Gallo 2 run HR ties game at 3 in second. Cole gives up 3 run HR in second and puts Yanks down 6-3. What the heck is going on?
Yanks down 7-3 after 3.
Cole gives up his fifth home run of the game in third inning and is taken out going only 2 1/3 innings and leaves the Yankees trailing 7-3 after 3.
Gallo HR his second of game and LeMahieu HR in fifth cut Twins lead to 7-5.
Hicks with a two run home run in sixth ties game 7-7 after six innings. Can you believe Cole comes away with a no decision.
Rizzo rbi single and Hicks rbi single in 7th put Yankees up 9-7 after 7.
Yankees plate a run in 8th on wild pitch. Up lead to 10-7 after 8.
Yankees never gave up and pull a win out the hat to take the series and head home smiling from ear to ear.
The Yankees win 10-7 after being down 7-3 and their ace pounded out of the game in the third inning. After losing badly last night, and falling behind tonight, it was a stellar comeback.
Final. Yankees win 10-7. In a never give up game the Yankees overcame a pathetic pitching performance from Cole who only went 2 1/3 innings, giving up 7 runs and 5 home runs. Cole left with the Yankees trailing 7-3. For the Yankees to have a chance the bullpen would need to produce for the rest of the game. And that they did, Luetge, Castro, Peralta, King and Holmes pitched 6 2/3 innings giving up 0 runs, 1 hit, and 2 hits while striking out 5. What an amazing performance from the quintet of Yankee relievers. In the meantime the Yankee offense did their part to earn the win scoring 7 runs over the last 6 innings. 2 runs in the 5th, 2 runs in the 6th, 2 runs in the 7th and 1 run in the 8th for the win. A team effort if there ever was one. Production from so many when it mattered most to earn the WIN.
Yankees home for weekend series with Chicago Cubs. Louie Louie, Monty, and Taillon starters listed.
Loved the comeback. Loved the most, Rizzo's and Hick's opposite field rib singles for the 8th and 9th runs.
Louie Louie and Monty starters today and tomorrow. We will see if they are snake bit in their starts like Taillon, Cortes, and Cole were.
Consider this and just how good the Yankees may be. The Yankees got 3 clunker starts on the road against the 1st place Twins and still won the series 2 games to 1.
Baseball fans, while our Yankees continue to do well as they play through the baseball season and hopefully the playoffs, America is suffering as it is being torn apart and destroyed by the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration. This foul administration all the democrats, liberals, progressives, communists, radical left wingers, blm, antifa, and their terrorist cohorts must be voted out of every office they hold. In every town, city, county, state, and federal election they must be voted out of office and never voted into any office ever again.
VOTE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, VOTE. VOTE ONLY FOR TRUMP SUPPORTED CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS AND OR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN THROUGHOUT AMERICA. SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE DEMOCRAT SCUM.

Rizzo only lefthanded bat in lineup. Gonzales in for Kiner-Falefa.
Yanks up 1-0 after 4.
1-1 after 6.
Yankees can't find their bats so far. 1-1 thru six. Louie Louie went six allowing just one run. He did his job.
1-1 after 8.
Extra innings tied at one.
Ok, lets get this game over with. 1-1, Yanks coming to bat in the 12th. Yanks only have five hits in the game. Do it now. IKF ghost runner on 2nd. Coming up for Yankees, DJ, Judge, Rizzo, DJ strikes out on a 3-2 pitch strikes out on a pitch in the dirt. Judge is intentionally walked. Men on first and second with one out. Rizzo pops out to very short right field. Two outs. Gallo comes up. Gallo strikes out.
How about this epic frustration and failure. Twelve innings played, one run for each team, each a solo home run. But, both teams combined have had chances to score 31 times, and 31 times they have failed.
Final. Yankees win 2-1 on walk off pinch hit rbi single by Trevino. After both teams went 0 for 36 when it mattered most on the 37th try Trevion produced on his only at bat of the game. Louie Louie six innings gives up 1 run. Yankee bullpen, seven innings 0 runs.
What a hell of a game. Yanks win 2-1 in 13th inning.
Cubs 0-18 with running in scoring position, Yankees just one better. WINMETHOD isn't just the players and teams who get the hits when it counts, but the pitchers/catchers who can execute the right pitch with runners on base. Credit to Yankees pitchers for a clutch, gutsy "WINMETHOD" pitching performance (really all year)
Let's get another win. Let's go Yankees.
Monty starts tonight's game. A win takes this series. Maybe a little less dramatic.
Amazing. Six innings of one run ball from Louie Louie and another seven innings of no runs from the bullpen. This is the stuff from where wins come from.
The tenets of the WIN METHOD have stated that winning is accomplished by every player on the team. Everyone contributes in their own way on any given day. Be it offensively, defensively, pitching, coaches, etc. Last night so many failures when it mattered most by both side. Conversely it can be said, so much production when it mattered most. When someone fails, someone else had success.
Yankees will face another starter tonite that they have never seen before. You never know how that goes.

Judge leadoff home run gives Yankees 1-0 lead.
Stanton and Torres back to back home runs in fourth makes it 3-0 Yanks.
Trevino, Judge, and Rizzo fifth inning home runs make it 6-0 Yanks.
Yankees pounding Cubbies. Six solo homers and a 6-0 lead after five innings.
Yankees don't hit any homers in sixth but they score 2 runs on small ball for an 8-0 lead.
Monty goes seven in total control innings, allowing no runs, no walks, and five hits. Leaves leading 8-0. Marinaccio in for the eighth.
Final. Yankees win 8-0. Monty gets the win going 7 scoreless innings. Marinaccio a scoreless 8th and Luetge a scoreless 9th. Six Yankee solo home runs, 2 by Judge and 1 each for Rizzo, Stanton, Torres, and Trevino. A lot easier tonight than last night.
With tonight's win the Yankees clinch this series and have a chance to sweep the series tomorrow with Taillon starting.
Win or lose tomorrow it is going to be another very good ten game series for the Yankees.
Now the Yanks go into the first time back from a poor performance from Taillon, Cortes, and Cole. Taillon today.

I hope Carpenter holds his own defensively. I like his demeanor and attitude of a winner.
Yankees put up a five spot in first inning and take a 5-1 lead. Taillon gave up a solo home run in first for the Cubs run.
Carpenter fits this team and lineup like a hand made glove. Walks with bases loaded in first inning and hits three run home run in the second inning putting Yankees up 8-1 after two innings.
Higashioka HR in 3rd inning, and it is 10-1. Higgy, Higgy, Higgy, time to shine.
Yankees take 12-3 lead after six on Carpenters second HR of game, a two-run shot. Carpenter has 2 HRs and 6 RBIs for game.
Final. Yankees win 18-4. Taillon gets the win. Everyone produces. Carpenter the most with two home runs and seven rbis.
Higgy with a two homer game. The second off a position player throwing a 35mph lob ball.
Ten game set log. 2022 Season
Set one...... 01 - 10... 5 - 5.. 5 - 5..Not good. Playing .500 ball means no playoffs.
Set two...... 11 - 20... 9 - 1.. 14 - 6..As good as it gets, almost perfect.
Set three.... 21 - 30... 8 - 2.. 22 - 8..Another great ten game set. So far so good.
Set four..... 31 - 40... 7 - 3.. 29 -11..Not as good as the last two sets, but still good.
Set five..... 41 - 50... 6 - 4.. 35 -15..Very good set considering team riddled with injuries.
Set six...... 51 - 60... 9 - 1.. 44 -16--Another dominant set. Very strong.
Good off day tomorrow. Relax, get ready for the 20 games in 20 days starting Tuesday. Get your head out of the clouds from the 18 run game. Offense, defense, pitching. Put them all together, play as a team to win one game at a time.
Cortes, Cole, Louie Louie starters for the three game Rays series in Bronx starting tomorrow.
This is the first season, post all time great Derek Jeter, that a Yankee team has come together so well.
Lou Lis, because of the off day today, the Yankee rotation will be Cole first, then Cortes, and Louie Louie.
There is no way of knowing this and I do not believe the Yankees would admit it, but could it be the Yankees are starting Cole tonight against Kluber so that Cole would not have to face Rays ace McClanahan tomorrow.
BIGTIMEYANKEE, I would hope not, but as you said, you never know. Most importantly, Cole MUST pitch extremely well tonight and only lose if the Yankees don't score. An ace is supposed to be an ace when it matters most.

All eyes on Cole. Put up or shut up.
0-0 after 2.
Yanks up 2-0 after 6.
Cole goes six shutout innings allowing five hits and leaves with a 2-0 lead.
Final. Yankees win 2-0. Cole gets win going six innings shutout ball. Peralta, King, Holmes go 7th, 8th, and 9th shutout ball. Holmes gets save. Big hit from Kiner-Falefa when it mattered most for the win.
Well Cole did what was needed. The bullpen did what was needed. Offense, IKF, got the only hit when it mattered most for either team and it won the game.
Cortes starts tomorrow night's game and goes against the Rays 'ace' McClanahan. Be nice if the Yankee bats did some real damage. A win takes the series.
Kiner-Falefa was both the offensive and defensive star of last night's win. IKF was the perfect addition to this team as shortstop.
Only because it is the Rays best pitcher starting tonight, I would really like to win this game. I would think the Rays, with their best pitcher going for them, feel they the same way about winning tonight. Beating their best sort of sends a message.

Rizzo only lefty bat. Inside out guys, right field, a couple over the fence.
Hits when it matters most will likely win this game tonight. It goes hand in hand with the pitcher who does the best at getting the outs when it matters most.
Judge solo HR and Higashioka 3 run HR have Yankees leading 4-1 after six innings. Cortes went 5 1/3 innings allowing 1 run and 3 hits.
Final. Yankees win 4-3. Pitching, Cortes 5 1/3, 1 run. Peralta 1 2/3, 0 runs. Castro 2/3, 2 runs. Luetge 1/3, 0 runs. Holmes 1, 0 runs. Cortes gets win and Holmes gets save. Hitting, Judge solo HR. Higashioka 3 run HR.
Yankees win 4-3 going down to the last out. The game should not have this close as Castro and Luetge had some bad luck in the eighth giving up the 2 runs that made the game close. In the end it all worked out for the win and that is the only stat that ever matters.
Doing whatever and however it takes to win. Higgy with three home runs in the last two games he has started, tonight's the game winner. Last night it was IKF. Who next?
Having clinched this series with the Rays, the Yankees will go for the sweep tomorrow with Louie Louie starting.
Looks like a bullpen game coming up from the Rays.
Public Service Announcement --- It cannot be stat3d often enough. WHEN A TEAM OR PLAYER ARE PLAYING THEIR BEST, THEY ARE REALLY NOT GOOD, AND WHEN A TEAM OR PLAYER ARE PLAYING THEIR WORST, THEY ARE NOT THAT BAD.
What is so great about using the WIN METHOD evaluation tool, you will see just how valuable any player can be at any time in any game in helping their team win. There is never just one single event that helps a team win, it is a combination of events, usually by several players. These events can come from the defense, offense, pitching, etc.
will-i-am, The stat frauds don't use the WIN METHOD. They would rather argue to their dying day how good the high individual stat guys are, and complain that the reason they don't help their team win is because of all the other guys on the team and how bad they are.

I don't know how far Schmidt can go, but this game may put a dent into the bullpen.
No score after three innings. Clarke out after three innings and pitched very well. Yank AAA call up Weber in for the fourth.
Rizzo rbi single in sixth inning ties game at one.
Weber went 3 2/3 innings giving up a solo home run and is replaced by Marinaccio who gets the final out in the seventh. 1-1 game.
1-1 after 8.
Rizzo walk off home run in ninth for 2-1 win and sweep of the Rays.
Final. Yankees win 2-1. Schmidt 3 innings 0 runs. Weber 3 2/3 innings 1 run. Marinaccio 1 1/3 innings 0 runs, King 1 inning 0 runs and gets the win. Rizzo, game tying RBI single in sixth inning and game winning walk off home run in ninth inning. You can't make up what is happening this season.
Yankees hit the road for a three game series in Toronto over the weekend.
OK WIN METHOD fans, let's all take a deep breath, hold it for a while, exhale, now repeat after me. WIN METHOD FANS ARE THE SMARTEST BASEBALL FANS IN THE WORLD.

Not to be negative, but the Yankees will lose several more series during this season.
Yankees with an 8 run 5th innings, 2 on a Stanton HR and 4 on a Rizzo grand slam take a 10-1 lead after five innings.
Monty goes six innings and leaves with a 10-2 lead. Another one of his steady outings.
Final. Yankees win 12-3. Monty six solid innings for the win. Yankee home runs from Stanton, a 2 run shot, Rizzo, a grand slam, and Gallo, a meaningless 9th inning 2 run add on. Banuelos, Castro, and Luetge closed out the final three innings and none worked hard.
In the three games the Yankees just won from the Rays they scored a total of 8 runs on 12 hits. Tonight, in one game against the Blue Jays they scored 12 runs on 14 hits. Go figure. You can see how stats are relatively meaningless, but the wins are infallible.
Lets go Yankees.
It is great to see so many players stepping up, good team vibes, clubhouse confidence, and camaraderie goes a long way creating team success. The epitome of the WIN METHOD.
What fans don't often look at is how each individual player plays a different role on a team. Even with their individual weaknesses, all players also have strengths.
The Yankees have a lot of players who have strengths that complement each other. The sum of the strengths on this team is greater than the sum of the weaknesses. The final result is truly the sign of a championship caliber team.

How about this, if the Yankees win todays game they will go to the World Series. And if they Yankees don't win todays game they will go to the World Series.
I really like Boone's thought process with the lineup today. A different look, who knows, give anything a try in order to beat a pitcher who has dominated everyone so far this season.
Hicks, yes HICKS, lines a bases loaded double clearing the bases and giving the Yankees a 3-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning. PRODUCING WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.
Kiner-Falefa rbi double makes it 4-0 Yanks in sixth.
Taillon in sixth, lead off walk, single, two on no outs. Fly out, fly out, then taken out of game by Boone. King comes in and K's the third out. 4-0 Yanks after six complete. Taillon goes 5 2/3 innings giving up 0 runs.
Yanks up 4-0 after 7.
Final. Yankees win 4-0. Taillon goes 5 2/3 innings and earns the win. King goes 2 innings and Holmes the final 1 1/3 innings. Hitting star Aaron Hicks with a bases loaded double that scored three runs. The fourth run came on an IKF double. Yanks take series and will go for another series sweep tomorrow.
What a fine win, more than I ever expected out of today's game.
One heck of a job Cashman has done putting this team together. Cashman is making the stat frauds into even bigger fools than they have already proven to be.
Taillon is having one heck of a season so far, as are several other Yankees.
Louie Louie is starting tomorrows game instead of Cole. Cole will start the Tampa opening game.
After the day of rest, should see DJ, Donaldson, and Stanton in lineup tomorrow.
The Yankees are playing some amazing baseball. I don't think people know how important WIN METHODs influence was in the Yankees signing Rizzo and Holmes was. I would love to see WIN METHOD write a book and tell about all the signings and non-signings he played a major role in during his days with George Steinbrenner and now Hal Steinbrenner.

Eight righty bats, Gallo only lefty. Rizzo and Kiner-Falefa out.
Teena/exBronx, I agree, but the stat frauds would only try to cancel it out. The stat frauds can't handle the truth, they believe that only meaningless stats tell their story.
Baseball scouts look for talent, and what they feel a player will develop into. WIN METHOD looks for the desire, the character, the attitude. The highest paid players don't all fit the WIN METHOD profile. The failures play for themselves, their desires of money, their wants and wishes, while failing the team and teammates. WIN METHOD is copied but he cannot be duplicated, he is special, he is one of a kind, he is the greatest baseball talent evaluator in the world. The last losing season for the Yankees was 1992 and that is when WIN METHOD and George Steinbrenner began for real.
Happy Fathers Day.
Yanks up 3-2 after 3.
Castro gives up grand slam in relief in the sixth. Yankees lead 8-7 after six.
Bullpen crashes today. Peralta gives up 3 run home run in 7th. Yankees down 10-8.
Final. Yankees lose 10-9. Bullpen crashes giving up grand slam and three run home runs in 6th and 7th innings. Peralta takes the loss. Yankee bats did their job scoring 9 runs. It was inevitable, they had to lose some time. Still won the series.
Should've, could've, would've won today but it was not to be. Played our top two competitors three games each and won five of the six. I would have rather lose 10-0.
Yankees now head to Tampa to play the Rays another three game series. Cole start game one tomorrow. Bounce back from a loss.
Cole goes tonight to try to stop 'losing streak'. 😀
Giambino, that is funny considering the Yankees longest losing streak this season has only been two games.
Cole vs McClanahan today in Tampa. Last week Cortes best McClanahan in NY.
Let's take another series.
Taillon and Monty on Tuesday and Wednesday in Tampa?

5. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
6. Josh Donaldson (R) DH

8. Jose Trevino (R) C

Eight righthanded bats. Kiner-Falefa out. Lets go Yankees.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Yanks lead 1-0 after five, Cole has not allowed a hit, but has thrown 86 pitches. Just too many waste pitches and trying to be too fine. Likely one more inning at best.
Yanks score a run in 7th for a 2-0 lead and Cole comes out to pitch the 7th.
Cole pitches a quick 1,2,3 7th inning. Leads 2-0 and has a no-hitter going. Has thrown 102 pitches.
Cole gives up lead off single in eighth. Stays in and next batter hits drive to center field where Judge makes a leaping catch at the wall. Holmes called in to try for a five out save. Holmes gives up double, men on 2nd & 3rd with one out. Ground out to Holmes unassisted, run scores and runner on third with two out. Run is charged to Cole, so he goes 7 1/3 innings allowing one run on one hit. Infield dribbler to third base ties the game. Walk, men on 1st & 2nd with two outs. Strike out. 2-2 after 8.
Hicks RBI triple followed by Trevino sac fly put Yankees up 4-2 in 9th. Peralta in to try for the save.
Final. Yankees win 4-2. Holmes the win, Peralta the save. Yankee runs, Rizzo first inning home run. Torres double, steals third, scores on error in seventh. Hicks game winning triple and Trevino sac fly insurance run in ninth. Yep, a nail biter, but a win to start the series.
Tonight's game had everything in it, well almost everything. No hitter into the 8th inning. Single, double, triple, home run, walk, score on error, sacfly, blown save by bullpen, a win by bullpen, a save by bullpen. Best of all, a 4-2 WIN. Another game tomorrow.
Cortes starts tomorrow.
Can take the Rays series today. Yes we can. Let's go Yankees.
In my opinion, and as a big WIN METHOD advocate, there was no reason for Cole to come out and pitch in the eighth inning last night just because he had a no-hit game going. He crashed and burned on the first batter and it put the game in jeopardy. The team winning is the top priority, and not player comes before the team. I know it was Boone's decision, but Cole could have said to Boone, go with the bullpen. How much harm could it have done to Cole if he gave up no hits in the eighth and came out for the ninth and had to throw 130 plus pitches?
It looks like the stat fraud scorer has taken the win away from Holmes, gave it to Peralta, and then took the save away from Peralta. These decisions are the stat frauds garbage. These frauds decide hits and errors and are far too many times done with prejudice(s). This makes their decisions when added to player meaningless stats even more meaningless. The only thing the mattered and counted last night and in every game, one team got the WIN and the other team got the loss. End of story.
A player who performs and produces when it counts and matters the most often is better than any high individual stat player who produces more when it doesn't count and doesn't matter.
Same thing in politics.

Judge out and not DH. Torres as SS. Lets go guys. Give nothing away, especially the game.
We shall see how Torres fairs at SS. I think most of his previous troubles were caused by the black hole Meatball Sanchez. In my opinion Sanchez suffers from some sort of mental disorder.
Note how he has not been missed in the slightest.
Lets go Yankees, take this series today.
2-2 after 2.
Yanks down 3-2 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 5-4. Cortes goes 4 1/3, gives up 3 home runs and takes the loss. Yanks score on a 2 RBI single by LeMahieu in the 2nd and a 2 run home run by Gonzalez in the 9th with two out. That allowed Judge to pinch hit and on the first pitch he see just misses tying game as he flies out to the left field wall to end game. Need a win tomorrow to win series.
Monty starts the series rubber game tomorrow. Yanks need to win to win the series.
Cortes was not sharp tonite. He even may have been called pretty lucky because there were several hard hit outs. Schmidt coming in to replace Cortes in the fifth to face a right handed batter and giving up a two run home run eventually was the game defining failure when it mattered most.
It sure is nice being the fan of the team that has a double digit game lead for their division title. Being in front is better than chasing when the leader is so far ahead.

Carpenter at 1B with Rizzo DH. Torres off day. Judge back and is overdue. Must win to take this series.
Monty gives up two home runs in second and Yanks down 3-0 after two innings.
Yankee trail 4-3 thru seven. Very poor production when it mattered most so far tonight. Have left the bases loaded twice.
Final. Yankees win 5-4. Schmidt earns win. King earns hold. Holmes earns save. Yankees come back from being down 4-1 for the win. Judge two solo home runs. Stanton score on error. Trevino the game winning two run home run in the eighth. Yankees with the win take the series and now head home.
Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees win 5-4. Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees winnnnnnn.
Yankees host Astros for a four game series Thursday thru Sunday. Listed starters Taillon, Louie Louie, Cole, and Cortes.
Four game series with the Houston Astro's, a first place quality team. I would think splitting the series would be a wash, and acceptable at this point in the season.
The Astro's are 18 games are over .500. The other four teams in their division are a combined 38 games under .500 and not one of them is playing .500 ball. It could be said that you may want to take the Astro's 'dominance' with a grain of salt.

Stanton very overdue to get out of the funk he has been in. Produce when it matters most and earn the win. Lets go Yankees.
Game one of four game series is tonight. Win game one tonight. Let's go Yankees.
Let's get one thing straight about stats. They tell a story. When keeping an impeccable and defining score card, a person reading the scorecard decades later should be able to picture in their mind how and where every out, every hit, every play, was made. Stats tell the history of every players individual achievements. Stats will tell what every player was good at and stats can help predict what a player may do in the future. The biggest problem with stats is they do not, but they do not tell you who the best of the best players in the game were, are, and will be. Only wins and winning can do that. In other words wins and winning define the best players and teams throughout baseball, over decade after decade through today. Also, some players with great individual stats can also be the best of the best players, but they must have the wins and winning to declare them the best. I was born in 1934 and have seen a heck of a lot of baseball, players and team, I know. That is why I am a WIN METHOD fan, he knows baseball and what it is all about.
Astro first inning, three batters, three runs. That should wake the Yanks up.
It took the Yankees four batters, as Stanton responds to Astro 3 run home run with his own 3 run home run. 3-3 after one inning.
Taillon gives up a 2nd 3 run home run in 3rd inning. Yanks down 6-3 thru 3.
Yanks down 6-3 after 4.
Yankees down 6-3 after 8.
Hicks three run HR in ninth ties game at 6-6. Judge walk off RBI single wins it 7-6.
Final. Yankees win 7-6. Four run ninth inning for a walk off win. Stanton 3 run HR in first inning Yankees only 2 hits and 3 runs until the ninth inning. In the ninth back to back walks to Stanton and Torres is followed by Hicks game tying 3 run HR. IKF single, then caught stealing. Trevino single. Gallo K's for 2nd out. DJ walks. First and second two outs Judge comes up, Takes three balls, and then swings at 3-0 pitch for a solid walk off game winning single to the left field wall on one bounce. One heck of an amazing come back win. Yankees had 3 runs on 2 hits over first 8 innings. Then scored 4 runs on 4 hits in the 9th inning when it mattered and counted the most. The WIN METHOD rules.
