The 2022 season is over. Another solid winning season making the playoffs. Sadly another season of getting knocked out of the playoffs and not making the World Series. A good season, yes, to make the playoffs, but not good enough to make the World Series.
The hot stove has been hot and is burning strong. Many big names have changed uniforms so far. The YANKEES re-signed free agent Aaron Judge and signed a top of the rotation starter in free agent Carlos Rodon.
As I told all the WIN METHOD fans in my July 5, 2022 blogpost, Aaron Judge was not going to sign with any other team but the YANKEES. Attaining Rodon is a fine upgrade to the starting rotation. With the addition of Rodon, the rotation is more balanced with three right handed starters and two left handed starters. Cole, Cortes, Rodon, Louie Louie, and Montas.
With Benintendi lost to free agency there is an opening in left field, I would think and hope the YANKEES will give Oswaldo Cabrera every chance to earn and then hold the left field position. Then there is the infield to deal with. First base as of now is the only infield position set in stone. Anthony Rizzo has first base locked up. There may or may not be a deal coming this winter to help decide the infield spots at second base, third base, and shortstop. But the YANKEES have an abundance of bodies in LeMahieu, Torres, Peraza, Kiner-Falefa, Donaldson, and possible even Volpe to fill the three positions. How things shake out during the winter break and then spring training will eventually tell the story.
The bullpen has many arms and should be no issue throughout the 2023 season, There are a couple of youngsters in the minors who are still developing and who knows just when the light bulb goes off for them and they are ready to make an impact at the major league level.
At the catcher position. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing what left handed hitting catcher Ben Rortvedt will bring to the team. Rortvedt may provide a big surprise. I would think the YANKEES will not carry three catchers and either Trevino or Higashioka will be gone.
In the minor leagues the YANKEES have a bunch of fine looking youngsters at all positions, as WIN METHOD as they can be, how they bloom and grow over time will determine their ultimate value.
WIN METHOD fans, I can't say this often enough. You are the smartest and most knowledgeable baseball fans in the world. You make fans at all the other blogs, sites, forums, or whatever look silly. You all, have made the WIN METHOD blog the number one go to site for YANKEE baseball talk and information, You fans are positive, uplifting, and use common sense. All of you KNOW baseball. Around February 2023, this blog will attain one billion five hundred million views, 1,500,000,000. Thank you all, you truly are the greatest YANKEE fans in the world.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS, to each and every one of you wherever you are across this planet. I still get amazed when I look and see the hundreds of countries all of the viewers of the WIN METHOD blog come from. Everyone, have a happy and healthy new year. Lets win a World Series. LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 2034 Newer› Newest»No pitcher named yet by Yankees. Six hours to game time, I guess they are trying to figure out a plan for today and tomorrow. Would be super to win both games, but I would be happy with one. That would mean winning this series. Now if the bats don't let us down and explode we could win both games despite the pitching woes.

Rortvedt makes his Yankee debut. Make it memorable Ben.
James Douglas, what the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is doing is a disgrace to every America citizen. What is depressing, many citizens support it, many tolerate and accept it, and many do not have the wherewithal to understand what is happening. I agree with your final sentence completely. The result of any penalty is that the penalty must change/stop future similar actions by people. If people know their punishment and the punishment is final, they likely will never commit the foul deed.
The Aaron Hicks headache is finally over for Yankees fans but the timing of the move could not possibly be more hilarious.
Watching a month-and-a-half of Aaron Hicks suiting up for the New York Yankees when most fans would've bitten the bullet in the offseason and designated him for an assignment then has been a constant source of headaches. The veteran outfielder has been a negative on the field in just about every conceivable facet.
Yet, he remained with the club as Yankees GM Brian Cashman seemed to want to avoid eating the big money left on his contract. And in the Thursday win to conclude the heated series against the Blue Jays, Hicks finally showed something good with one of his best games of the past year-plus, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI while contributing solidly defensively.
Naturally, two days later, Aaron Hicks was informed that he was designated for assignment.
Hicks now can go play golf, thank God.
Hicks has been let go and the Yankees will pay him 28 million dollars over the next three years. There is no reason for anyone to feel sorry for him. Most Americans do not make that much in the lifetime.
Rortvedt first at bat, opposite field double off the the left field wall.
Rortvedt second at bat. Line single to center field.
4-4 after 5.
Extra innings tied at four.
Yankees score 3 in tenth and win 7-4. Judge rbi single and Rizzo 2 run home runs wins the day.
Final. Yankees win 7-4 in ten innings. Brito went four innings giving up all 4 Reds runs and 4 hits. He left with the Yankees down 4-1. The Yankees scored 3 runs in the 5th to tie the game and it stayed that way through nine innings. In the tenth, Judge rbi single followed by Rizzo 2 run home run won the game 7-4. Now the best part, Yankee relievers Marinaccio 2 innings, King 2 innings, Holmes 1 inning and Weber 1 inning combined for 6 scoreless inning allowing just 1 hit and 1 walk. Holmes gets the win and Weber gets the save. Weber became the seventh Yankee pitcher to earn a save this season. Yanks take this series with a chance for the sweep tomorrow with Luis Luis Severino making is first start of the season.
Brito was weak spot today. Bullpen was golden with six shutout innings. Judge and Rizzo with three RBI's each, and IKF with one RBI.
Luis Luis starts. Hope he doesn't do anything stupid. Throw strikes with movement and make them swing. Five good innings would be a fantastic first start. Lineup seven runs again??
Everyday that passes the United States of America takes another step backwards under the leadership of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration defined by the radical leftwing liberal demoRATS.

No JUDGE? No Rortvedt? Luis Luis starts.
Sunday morning 11:30 baseball is a sin.
Two innings and the first base umpire has had two calls overturned already. One cost the Yankees a run. Yet the four umps as a group allowed it. I guess that makes for three blown calls.
Yankees trail 1-0 thru three innings. Luis Luis ok so far, being his first start.
Yanks down 1-0 after 4.
Bader 2 run and Torres solo HRs give Yanks 3-1 lead after six innings.
Yanks up 4-1 after 8.
Yankees win 4-1. Good win. Luis Luis with a fine first start throwing 75 pitches ove 4 2/3 innings and allowing just one run. Only issue was Holmes struggling in ninth. Loaded bases before getting final out.
Final. Yankees win 4-1. Sweep series in Cincinnati. Luis Luis goes 4 2/3 innings in his first start. Looked better as each inning passed. Allowed one run on an umpiring blunder. Abreu went 1 1/3, Cordero an inning, Peralta and inning, all three getting a hold. Holmes closed in out in the ninth, but not before loading the bases to make pleasant game somewhat aggravating in the last half inning. Offense was Bader 2 run home run, Torres solo HR, and Volpe rbi double. Nice off day tomorrow heading home.
Sweep in Cincy, a sweet sweep in Cincy.
I guess I can't complain about playing a Sunday morning game. Guys will be back home early this evening, and a off day tomorrow. Celebrate and come back Tuesday ready to keep winning.
Abreu, Cordero, and Peralta worked 3 1/3 innings and did not allow a man to reach base. Holmes worked 1 inning and allowed 2 singles and a walk (3 men to reach base) and he gets the save. Just another reason stats are for frauds. The team won and that is what matters. Always.
Next series is with the Orioles. Three games starting Tuesday at the Stadium. Cole, Cortes, and Schmidt starting.
FBI -- what does it stand for -- Failed Bureau of Investigation? Flunky Bureau of Investigation? -- or is it just plain corruption, lies, deceit, destroy America?
Take your choice, it's your call. Clean house big time, eradicate those responsible.
Tim Scott announces run for presidency today with a very strong, electrifying, and truthful speech from Charleston, South Carolina. Scott is 1000 times better than any living liberal leftwing democrat in the world.
I know, my family and I moved to South Carolina from the liberal leftwing democrat cesspool of New York City.
Can't blame everything on Biden. He has been a lying cheating corrupt low IQ fool his entire life. Right now he is only a willing pawn told what to do and say. He does not have the mental capacity to be the president, he is in name only. He is controlled by a cabal of sinister radical leftwing democrat swamp dwelling scum who only have their own monetary gain and the destruction of the American people and America country as their goal. Many posters here have said these people must be stopped and destroyed and they are right. Somewhere down the road 'we the people; will have to do whatever it takes to stop them and rid our country of them.
Back in action tonight. Three game series with Orioles. Cole opens the series. Lets go Yankees.

I'll make this simple. If our number one starter pitches a shutout tonight, the Yankees will win tonight.
Lets score a bunch of runs, that also helps. 😊
Well, we are not going to get a shutout from Cole. Gives up 2 first inning runs after 2 outs and nobody on.
Yanks down 3-0 after 3.
Yankees score 3 in fifth. Rizzo rbi double, LeMahieu rbi single, Bader rbi sac fly. 4-4 after five.
Judge HR in 9th ties game 5-5. Extra innings.
The Yankees win, the Yankees win. Volpe 10th inning sac fly win it 6-5. Big come from behind win.
Final. Yankees win 6-5 in ten innings. Cole was the problem tonight, giving up 5 runs in five innings. Was pretty pathetic. Yankee bullpen Marinaccio saved Yankees in relief of Cole pitching out of big jam created by Cole, and going two scoreless innings. Peralta went one scoreless inning. King pitched two scoreless innings and prevented the fake 10th inning runner from scoring and earned the win. In a nutshell, Cole five innings 5 runs. The bullpen five innings 0 runs. Yankees down 4-0, because of Cole, before Bader solo HR in 4th. Yanks tied game in 5th on Rizzo rbi double, LeMahieu rbi single, and Bader sac fly. In the bottom of the ninth Judge hit a solo HR to tie game at 5. Volpe sac fly in 10th for the win.
What a thrilling game. Especially when you win. Judge ninth inning home run to tie the game came on and 0-2 pitch. The first two pitches were 101 and 100 mph. Unbelievable. A true team effort, except for Cole. He made it hard. But they saved his backside from a loss, which they have done a few times this season already.
Cortes starts game two tomorrow. I bet he does better than Cole.
Play one game at a time. Fans looking ahead are fools, tools, and stupid.
The Yankees, a team crippled by injuries, is playing some fine baseball right now.
We have heard about the US Government debt and the impending possible default by the US if the debt limit is not raised. The politicians need to come to an agreement to avoid default.
1. The president has not put forward a plan/bill to avoid default except to say raise the debt limit.
2. The Senate has not put forward a plan/bill to avoid default and have done nothing.
3. The House of Representatives have passe a bill raising the debt limit and cutting spending.
Now, I would like to ask this of every American voter/citizen. You work and you earn $1,000.00 every week. Your total living expenses without any unforeseen events/issues are $1,200.00 every week. How long do you believe you will be able to live this way before you are completely in default?
Question for everyone...should the US Government be allowed to spend more than what it confiscates from you/we the American people?
YES--vote liberal democrat and watch America being destroyed.
NO--vote conservative republican and save America.
It's sad when you see Biden complain about the debt while spending more and more while printing money to create over 20% massive inflation and then lie about it. We have a bill passed through the House. Deal with it, work to amend it if parties can agree or create and pass a bill if you can.

Not issue with Higashioka catching, but I wonder why Rortvedt is not. Hope lineup keeps producing when it matters most.
Jennifer, as debt skyrocketed under Trump and republican control from 2016-2020--and at a higher rate of increase than the last 2 years--I think you mean that people should vote for Democrats if national debt is their primary concern.
Lets go Yankees. Do it again tonight. Win this series.
Rain delay.
IKF triple, Torres HR gives Yankees 2-0 lead after 3 innings.
Yanks up 2-1 after 4.
Volpe walk, Kiner-Falefa 2 run home run, and Torres second home run of game put Yanks up 5-1 thru five innings.
IKF 2 run HR and Torres second HR of game makes it 5-1 Yankees after five.
NIGHTMARE -- NIGHTMARE -- 😢😢😢Cortes gives up 3 runs, Cordero gives up 4 runs, Abreu gives up 1 run. Yankees down 9-5 after starting the 7th up 5-1.
Noooooooooooooooooo!! Yanks surrender 8 runs in top of seventh and fall behind 9-5.
Final. Yankees lose 9-6. After building a 5-1 lead thru six innings. Torres 2 run HR and solo HR. Kiner-Falefa 2 run HR. Yankees use three pitchers and they combined to give up 8 runs. Cordero takes the loss. Rubber game of this series tomorrow. Bad night in the Bronx.
9-6 loss after building a 5-1 lead thru six innings is a bad loss. Coming the nest game after last nights win hurts that much more.
Boone lost game. I believed this as soon as I saw Cortes come out to pitch the seventh inning. Cortes is a fantastic five to six inning pitcher most every game he starts. Pitching a seventh inning well and would be a miniscule rarity.
Schmidt in series deciding game today. A win is needed after last night's loss.
Tony Manchu.....I agree, Boone does the same thing so often, it is infuriating. Tries to get an extra out or two, and then either turns the game into a tossup or loses it because of his inability to manage with his mind and feel for each game.
I did not post this in my Final score post last night because I wanted to see if anyone thought what I did. Watching the game, I was shocked to see Cortes come our for the seventh inning. I believed there should have been no way he should have pitched at that point in time. The Yankees led by four runs, Cortes pitched brilliantly and I believe if he can give five innings and keep you in the game he was successful. He can go the sixth inning every now and then. Yesterday was that day he could go into the sixth. He had a decent pitch count and did not pitch under pressure. Going six innings was a bonus and a goldmine. When Boone sent him out in the seventh, my heart fell and I thought, OH NO. We all saw what happened, and Boone's awful decision lit a fire and opened the flood gates for the Orioles. No one can say for sure what would have happened if the reliever came in under no pressure and a four run lead against a team that was struggling for six innings. Boone has made this say mistake numerous times this season.
I always saw Cortes as a solid 6 inning pitcher. He was terrific last night for that period. I believe he was always a long reliever, so 5 to 6 innings is what his limit is. The mistake was letting him pitch the 7th inning.

Five lefty bats, It's about time. Outfield defensive trio may be best in baseball. Finally Rortvedt starts. The issue tonight will be Schmidt. Just five innings and keep the Yanks within a run.
Yankees calling up pitcher Randy Vasquez from AAA to start tomorrow's game.
Lets go Yankees.
Yankees trail 1-0 thru five innings. Schmidt went 4 2/3 giving up the lone run of the game. He threw over 90+ pitches and was behind in counts many times. But, he did keep the Yankees in the game. Only have 1 hit and have never threatened.
Yanks down 1-0 after 5.
Eight innings in the books. Yankees in a 3-0 hole and with just two hits have not mounted a scoring opportunity.
Final. Yankees lose 3-1. Yanks scored a run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. On the next pitch the game was over. Schmidt worked hard, only gave up one run, and kept the Yankees in the game with a chance to win. However, the Yankee bats did not show up tonight. Lose this series to the team right in front of them.

Peolpe, please read the post by Victor Davis Hanson. It defines American today, how it got here, and who is responsible for cancer America is suffering at the hands of the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the radical leftwing liberal democrats.
Sad effort tonight.
Very mundane game tonight compared to the first two games. That happens when no one in the lineup hits.
San Diego Padres in New York for three game weekend series with our Yankees. Vasquez, Louie Louie, and Cole Yankee starters.

Victor Davis Hanson, what a fine article. Thank you. And so true and troubling.
Hope we recoup and take this weekend series. Have to stay close and hope the injured come back and help,
Outstanding article from Victor Davis Hanson. Every point he mentioned is true. Biden, his administration, his criminal activity, his corruption, the evil people, in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, education system, criminal justice system, the Biden family, the democrat liberals, state, county, and local politics must be cut out as you would any cancer.
I have seen Victor Davis Hanson on TV. A very smart man, articulate, honest, knowledgeable, and a great source of truth.
If the democrats win the 2024 elections and have control of the house, senate, and presidency it likely will make for a civil war and or the end America and freedom.

Can only hope for the best. Can Vasquez give us a chance? Can the lineup bounce back from yesterday and score enough to give us a chance? If either in a no, we will likely lose. This is paper, the game is played and decided on the field.
0-0 after 3.
Final. Yankees lose 5-1. Never in it. Vargas did well and left after five innings allowing two runs and the Yankees down 2-0. Marinaccio gave up a 2 run home run in his inning. Weber went the final three innings allowing one run. Vargas looked good but with 2 outs in the 5th inning, he gave up a walk followed by the HR. So for 4 2/3 innings he gave up nothing and was in control. Yankee bats ice cold again. That is a problem.
Louie Louie starts game two with San Diego, in an attempt to put an end to Yankee losing streak now at three games.

Volpe batting ninth. Need a win to stop the losing skid. Louie Louie second start of season, Bats come alive?
Louie Louie really looks good. Has only given up one hit, a solo home run. The Yankees have only scored one run. 1-1 after five innings.
2-2 after 8.
Extra innings tied at 2.
Final. Yankees win 3-2 in ten innings. Kiner-Falefa with and RBI walk off single for the win. Yankee other runs on a LeMahieu RBI double and a LeMahieu HR. Louie Louie was brilliant going 6 2/3 innings giving up just 2 hits, one a solo HR, the other run unearned and only scored because of yet another costly error by Torres at second base. King worked 1 inning, Peralta 1 1/3 innings, and Holmes 1 inning of scoreless ball, with Holmes earning the win. Louie Louie if he continues as he has in his first two starts of the season will contend with Cole for number one starter.
Severino with a fine game today. LeMahieu with great offense and defense was the Yankee hero. And again, IKF with another game winning hit. We needed the win today, earned it on the field, and got it.
Good pitching and just enough hitting wins the day despite Torres slack defense.
Cole tomorrow with a chance to win the series. Hope he matches what Louie Louie gave us today. Also hope the offense score more runs.
Looking at the Yankee starting pitching right now --- barring any injuries --- 1.Cole -- 2.Louie Louie -- 3.Cortes -- 4.German 5.any available arm until Rodon is ready, sometime this month? You could be looking at a .700-.800 team the rest of the season.
NJYANKEE, that could be the best rotation in baseball. IF?
Victor Davis Hanson's article clearly and succinctly describes what has happened to this country the past couple of years since the corrupt and stolen 2020 election, It is so clear, however, the corrupt, evil, treacherous, treasonous, radical leftwing democrats and their fake news media compadres and the DC swamp will back them, lie for them, and run cover for them. We, the people, must wipe them out and destroy them, otherwise they will destroy us, including the fools who look the other way and ignore the destruction.
Cole spit the bit in his last start. Need to keep in touch with the teams in front of, reinforcements are not far away.
If our AAA callup could hold the Padres in check for five games, I would hope Cole should do much better.

Take the series with good pitching and timely hitting. That is what determines who is best.
And only the best teams and best players win the most games with good pitching and timely hitting. Lets go Yankees.
Yanks down 3-1 after 2.
After a shaky couple of innings from Cole and a big 7 run 3rd inning the Yankees lead 8-3 after five innings.
Cole crashes again. Comes out for the 7th inning and gets no one out, leaves game going six plus innings giving up 6 runs. Fortunately the Yankees have scored 8 and Cole is still in line for the win.
Bader HR in 8th nets an insurance run and a 9-6 lead. Higgy rbi single makes it 10-6 after eight innings.
Yanks up 10-6 after 8.
Final. Yankees win 10-7. Cole gets the win despite giving up 6 runs in six innings. Cordero and Marinaccio each work a scoreless inning and Holmes closes it out giving up a meaningless run in the ninth. Yankee bat got the win for Cole with a big 7 run third inning. Judge a solo HR and 2 rbi. Bader a solo HR and 2 rbi. Rizzp an rbi. Calhoun an rbi. Kiner-Falefa an rbi, Volpe an rbi, and Higashioka 2 rbi.
Yankees take series with Padres 2 games to 1, winning todays rubber game 10-7. Cole not strong giving up six runs in six innings. Yankees with a big 7 run third inning for the win. Off day tomorrow and heading to the loser left west coast.
Something to watch for. Rizzo was taken out of the game after suffering what was reported as an "issue with his neck" on a pickoff play collision at first base. The runner was picked off and out on the throw from Higashioka to Rizzo.
Hope we don't lose Rizzo. Particularly for any length of time.
German, Cortes, and Schmidt scheduled starters for Mariners series in Seattle.
UPDATE ON RIZZO ---- LOOKS LIKE GOOD NEWS
It was a scary scene at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as first baseman Anthony Rizzo stumbled forward, his glove falling limply to his side before he went down to one knee on the infield dirt.
While completing a double play to end the top of the sixth inning, Rizzo’s head collided with Fernando Tatis Jr.’s hip as he applied the tag after fielding a throw from catcher Kyle Higashioka. After being tended to by the Yankees’ medical staff for a few minutes, Rizzo returned to his feet and walked off the field under his own power.
The Yankees later announced that Rizzo had sustained a neck injury on the play and exited the 10-7 victory over the Padres for precautionary reasons. Rizzo went through the concussion protocol following the game, so he was unable to speak to the media, but manager Aaron Boone gave an encouraging report.
“Rizzo’s good. [We’re] just being cautious there,” Boone said. “He went through all the testing and was fine. We'll just keep an eye on him tonight and tomorrow.”
The Yankees headed to Seattle after the series finale to begin a six-game West Coast road trip, and Boone added that it’s possible Rizzo will be able to play in Monday’s opener against the Mariners.
“Yeah, I would say at this point, it looks that way,” Boone said.
NJYANKEE, we don't need anymore DL's. Hope he feels fine tomorrow.
On this Memorial Day, we honor all those who have served, fought and died for America, and all those serving and fighting for America today. Thank you all.
God Bless America and all those who serve and have served out country.

Rizzo not in lineup. As always, will starter, German, keep us in the game?
Wow! Calhoun batting third.
1-1 after 2.
Bader comes out of game running to first beating out an infield hit. Why God?
Yankees lead 9-4 thru six. Judge 2 home runs and a double. German has gone six innings so far and has not really had to pitch under pressure.
Yankees roll to a 10-4 win. German pitched into seventh inning for the win. Nice return.
Final. Yankees win 10-4. German goes 6 1/3 giving up 4 runs. Marinaccio 2/3 and 0 runs. Abreu final 2 innings of scoreless ball. German earns the win. Yankee bats alive tonight. Judge 2 HRs and 3 RBIs. Calhoun 2 hits and 2 RBIs. Bauers HR and 2 RBIs. Kiner- Falefa 2 hits and 2 RBIs. Higashioka 2 hits and 1 RBI. Bader did leave the game and first report was tightness in hamstring. Again, we hope for the best.
Yankees win series opener 10-4. Judge two home runs and a double, plus a leaping catch over the right field fence taking a homer away from Mariners, and he was two feet over the fence when he caught it.
Cortes tonight with a chance to win the series.
Bader is having MRI for hamstring issue. Did not appear as if he pulled it. Bader said he "felt tightness in hamstring".

So Yankees bench tonight is one player plus the backup catcher. Does any other team work this way?
The republicans in the House need to stop the debt bill that has tentatively been agreed to by the right and left negotiators. It is a boondoggle deal that does nothing for the American people while letting trillions of dollars be spent on fraudulent liberal left wing democrat causes that will destroy America. DEFAULT NOW. It was the democrats who never came to negotiate for over 90 days and let this garbage come down to the last few days.

Nestor Cortes (L) P
1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Willie Calhoun (L) DH
4. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
5. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) LF
6. Jake Bauers (L) 1B
7. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Greg Allen (S) CF
Wonder what took so long to come up with lineup, unless Bader and Rizzo wanted to play.
Yankees with three first inning runs take early 3-0 lead.
Volpe 3 run HR in 3rd has Yankees up 6-0 thru 3 innings.
Bader placed on 10 day DL with mild mild strain of right hamstring, So Greg Allen his replacement homers tonight.
Yanks with an 8-2 lead thru seven innings. Perfect time to not push Rizzo back into the lineup. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Yankees rout Mariners and win series with a chance to sweep tomorrow. 10-2.
Back to back games scoring 10 runs. Sweet. Keep it going.
Schmidt starts tomorrow's series finale. Keep the line moving. Got to carry Cole. 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
Final. Yankees win 10-2. Cortes goes 5 innings giving up both Seattle runs and earns the win. Two scoreless innings each from King and Weber to close it out. Bat alive again tonight . Judge solo HR. Allen solo HR. Volpe 3 run HR. Buaers sac fly rbi. And last the star Kiner-Falefa 4 for 5 with 4 RBIs. Yankees win series and play for the series sweep tomorrow night.
Yanks win again. Playing well as a team with so many players contributing. So nice to see in todays world.
The Yankees have scored exactly 10 runs in each of their last three games.
Schmidt is the starter at the bottom looking up. He will significantly have to improve his performance, consistently, if he has any thoughts about staying in the Yankee rotation.
Todays Yankee lineup.
Clarke Schmidt (R) P
1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) DH
3. Willie Calhoun (L) LF

6. Jake Bauers (L) 1B
7. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
8. Kyle Higashioka (R) C
9. Greg Allen (S) RF
Back to back duplicate lineup. Duplicate result?
It took Boone so long to come up with the lineup yesterday, he had to be tired today, so he didn't have to think, he used last nights.
12 up 12 down after 2 innings. 0-0
0-0 after 5.
No score after eight innings. The pitchers have done we ll. But the home plate umpire has made them all look as if they were Cy Young. Or maybe the strike zone has 2 to 3 inches on all sides.
Aaron Judge gets intentionally walked with 2 outs and no one on base in ninth inning. But Calhoun lines out to left field.
Little league extra innings tied at zero.
Final. Yankees lose 1-0 in ten innings. Game was a joke because of home plate umpire, but he was bad/good to both teams equally. Marinaccio takes the little league loss facing just one batter. Yankees did load bases in tenth inning with no one out and suffered a massive failure when it mattered most.
Score 10 runs in each of three straight games and don't score any in a ten inning loss. Baseball is a crazy game with the whims of the baseball Gods being unpredictable.
Clarke did pitch 5 2/3 innings of shutout ball last night. What does it mean when every other pitcher for both teams pitched shutout ball and the Mariner starting going 8 innings. How much did the umpire make it all possible?
No game today as Yanks travel to Lost Angeles to play the Dodgers a three game weekend series. Yankee starters, Louie Louie, Cole, and German.
Donaldson, Stanton, and Kahnle said to be rejoining team.
Will Donaldson and Stanton start? If all three are activated which three will be sent packing?
If anyone missed this article by Victor Davis Hanson, here is the link to it. It is a must read for anyone interested in saving America.
https://www.semissourian.com/story/2996661.html
Oswaldo Cabrera, Franchy Cordero, and Matt Krook have been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. I In baseball terms, three up, three down.
Yankeefan2, that was the most likely trio to be AAA'd.
Today is Lou Gehrig Day and MLB will be celebrating at all games today. Lou Gehrig died on June 2, 1942.
The article by Victor Davis Hanson is surely eye opening. But only to those who are not deaf, dumb, and blind.
Game is 10pm tonight. Half hour later than in Seattle.
So, the entire world saw Biden fall on his face yesterday. It goes hand in hand with him falling on his face because of his policies and corruption all over the world.
Todays Yankee lineup.
Luis Severino (R)
1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
5. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
6. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) LF
7. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Greg Allen (S) CF
On field performance will determine the outcome. Tonight no Bader LeMahieu, Cabrera, Calhoun. Have Allen, Donaldson, IKF, Stanton instead?
Louie Louie thinking he is throwing batting practice. Line drive after line drive. 6 runs 8 hits. May be an early to bed night.
Yankees down 7-2 after four innings. Stanton and Donaldson each with a home rum for Yankee runs.
Kahnle makes first appearance of season working one inning, 0 runs 1 hit.
Final. Yankees lose 8-4. Louie Louie lost it in first inning allowing 6 runs. Yankee runs solo HR from Stanton and a solo HR and a 2 run HR from Donaldson. Kahnle pitched one shutout inning. So all three Yankee returning DL guys made their comebacks and all did better than every other Yankee on the field. Louie Louie did go four innings and allowed 7 runs in total and took the lost. His first inning was horrid.
I stayed to the end. Stanton and Donaldson early HR's gave me some hope. Game did move pretty fast. Nevertheless, a loss.
After last night's flop from Louie Louie, Cole starts today to try to even series with Dodgers. Will he step up big?
Good return by Stanton and Kahnle and a great return by Donaldson last night.
Todays Yankee lineup.
Gerrit Cole (R) P
1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
4. Josh Donaldson (R) DH
5. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
6. Jake Bauers (L) LF
7. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) CF
8. Jose Trevino (R) C
9. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
OK, go figure, Stanton is back DH'd last night and is off today. Only way to get LeMahieu in game.
I would like a shutdown game from Cole. His last game was a mess.
Bauers with s second inning two run home run and a 2-0 lead.
Bauers again. a fourth inning two run home run for a 4-1 Yankee lead.
Yanks up 4-1 after 4.
Yankees win a nail biter 6-3. A really good game with many ups and downs and weird events.
Yankees win 6-3. Now that was much better than last night and a win besides. Now I can go to bed in a better mood.
Final. Yankees win 6-3. Cole goes six innings giving up one run and earns the win. Peralta in for the 7th and gets no one out, allows 2 runs. King in to pick up Peralta and gets the side out without further damage and then pitches a scoreless 8th. That is producing when it matters most. King earns a bonafide hold. Holmes in for a scoreless 9th and the save. The Yankees scored all six of their runs on home runs. Bauers with two 2 run home runs. Judge and Cabrera with solo home runs. Judge with a smashing catch that might have saved the game. Hard hit ball to right field, Judge racing back to the wall makes a one hand over the shoulder catch running into the gate to the bullpen which is part of the right field wall. Smashes into the gate breaking it open and holding on to the ball and likely preventing a possible LA big inning. WHEN IT MATTERS MOST FANS, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. Don't ever believe any stat fraud stats.
Cole did what he needed to do. Six innings, one run and left up 5-1. Peralta didn't, then King and Holmes did. A win is a win is a win.
Rubber game tomorrow with German on the mound. Hope Yankee bats do it again.
Tomorrow's game is a 7:15pm and on the espn. The most hated game in baseball, the despised Sunday night game.
Good story regarding Cabrera. He was demoted to AAA when the Yankees got three players back from the DL. Greg Allen got hurt the other night and put on the DL. Cabrera was call and told to fly to LA to rejoin the team. He flew out of Newark NJ airport and arrive in LA just before the game. Got to the ballpark and was put in left field late in the game. He came to bat in the ninth inning and hit a home run for an all important insurance run.
Sunday night game. Unheard of when baseball was more about fun, the fans, and competition than todays baseball. Now baseball is corrupt, money, and damn the fans.
About Volpe, I'm all for giving a very promising rookie enough time to get used to the majors. The key component of that is how the rookie adapts to pitchers after they have adapted to him. So far, after two months, that hasn't happened with Volpe, as his performance would indicate. He just seems lost at the plate with no sign of getting out of the black hole he is in. Question is, how long can the Yankees wait?
John Hartnett, I agree, Volpe looks lost right now. He needs a reboot mentally. If we can see it, why can't the hitting coach or anyone in the Yankee organization. No question he has the talent, but adjustments need to be made. He may be just too young. They have cameras and replays. It is so obvious.
The light bulb goes on at different ages for anyone. It is almost like a light switch. Right now Volpe is not helping the team, however, in any one one at bat he can come up big. That is what needs to be developed and honed. I would definitely send him to AAA. Tell him why, work with him, build back his confidence, he has the skills. Do it already. Wake up, Boone and others.
Regarding espn and pay per view streaming channels. If MLB was serious about increasing the popularity of baseball they would eliminate all these blackouts. it's blackout out when the team travels outside the zone, even the West coast (2) it's blackout when Prime, Apple, ESPN channels broadcast (I think I get FOX and local) (3) the game is sold out. They hired a guy who was going to make changes but nothing changes. So I pay for MLB.TV and have to use audio and/or gamecast for a game I paid for and want to watch. And they wonder why they are losing fans ???? All about the money and not the fans. (Going to the game is too expensive too)
Biden falls on his face, can't get up, and has to be helped up by two people. They he and his handlers blame a sandbag. Fact: Biden did not trip over a sandbag or anything else. He clearly fell on his face because he is in very poor physical and mental condition.
Todays Yankee lineup.
Domingo German (R) P
1. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
2. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B
3. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
4. Willie Calhoun (L) LF
5. DJ LeMahieu (R) 3B
6. Jake Bauers (L) RF
7. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (R) CF
8. Kyle Higashioka (R) C
9. Anthony Volpe (R) SS
Judge not in lineup. Does not bode well for a win, but you never know who will produce when it matters most. Just like Bauers did yesterday.
All the Yankees can do is play the best they can with what they have. Heaven knows that the Yankees play over, under, around, and through all obstacles thrown at them. Be positive, and remember, YES WE CAN.
Scoreless thru three.
What a good game. What a pitcher's duel. 0-0 after six innings. German has been spectacular. Both teams will probably go to bullpens now.
Yanks score a run in 7th. German stays in to pitch 7th. Gets first two outs and hangs a curve ball that gets hit for a home run for a 1-1 tie. Then gives up infield roller for a single. Then taken out of game. Holmes comes in
and ends inning. 1-1 after 7. Great game from German. One bad pitch.
Yankees score a run in eighth on a when it matters most ground ball out with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out from Cabrera.
Volpe 2 out 2 run HR in 9th gives Yankees 4-1 lead. When it matters most.
Volpe two run HR makes in 4-1 Yanks in 9th.
Theeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnn. 4-1. Holmes gets win and Peralta the save. German matched LA starter inning for inning and gave the Yankees a chance to win it.
What a nice game to win. Taking 2 of 3 in LA is sweet. Come on home guys.
Final. Yankees win 4-1. German goes 6 2/3 innings giving up 1 run. Holmes goes 1 inning for the win. Peralta goes 1 1/3 innings for the save. Higashioka ground out rbi for Yankee first run in 7th. Cabrera ground out rbi for Yankee second run in 8th. Volpe 2 run HR in 9th for all the runs, Yankees take both west coast trip series and now come home with an off day tomorrow.
I guess the Yankees played over, under, around, and through all obstacles thrown at them today for the 4-1 win.
Games like today define playoff quality teams. Well done German and company.
After tomorrow's off day the Yankees will host the Chicago White Sox for a three night game series at Yankee Stadium, Tue, Wed, and Thurs.
Of the 4 RBI's Yankees had in last nights win, 1 came from a defensive replacement, 1 from the eight hole hitter and 2 from the nine hole hitter. All when it counted most.
