WIN METHOD --- 2023 SEASON -- FINAL RUN TO THE PLAYOFFS WHERE ONLY THE BEST TEAMS AND BEST PLAYERS PLAY
Less than half the season to play. So much to be decided. Many teams vying for playoff positions in each league. Three divisions in each league, each division winner makes the playoffs and then the next three teams with the best win/loss records also make the playoffs. Only WINS determines which teams go to the playoffs. WINS are the only statistic which determines the best teams and the best players.
The YANKEES are one of the teams in the chase at this point in the season. The YANKEES, the team with the most player time lost to injuries, by a very large margin, over any other team in MLB. No question, every team has player injuries and loses players for periods of time, but no other team has had as many players injured and missed games as the YANKEES.
What are the YANKEE chances of making the playoffs with about seventy games yet to play? We will find out over the two and a half months. If some of the key injured players can return and contribute, that would make a difference. As with every team, it will be determined only by WINS. I believe if the YANKEES make the playoffs, will have a very good chance at advancing through the playoffs and winning the WORLD SERIES. I bet none of the teams vying for the playoffs are giving up, the players on those teams are not giving up, and the WIN METHOD YANKEE fans are not giving up, because when you give up, you give yourself no chance at all. It has been said many times, by many posters, the YANKEES will play over, under, around and thru any and all obstacles and roadblocks thrown in front of them.
It has been great to see YANKEE STADIUM filled with fans each game during this season, games have always been pretty nor turned out well for YANKEE fans and more so for the team. Don't give up, with enough WINS the YANKEES can still make the playoffs. If they do. watch out for them in the playoffs. Stay positive and say it often LETS GO YANKEES.
I would like to express by sincere thanks for all you fans who read and post here on the WIN METHOD blog. You all have made it the greatest forum, blog, or site for YANKEE fans in the world. In just several days this blog will reach over one billion six hundred million views. Thank you all for being the greatest fans and most knowledgeable fans in the world.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1405 Newer› Newest»Louie Louie does it again. Sets his bar ever lower. Gives up seven runs in first inning and pretty much takes his team out of the game. Just don't give up guys.
Louie Louie has done this too many times now. Will Boone do the right thing, use common sense, and not start him again, or will he cave to his foolish tendencies?
Yanks down 7-1 after 3.
Trailing 9-3 after six innings. Severino is not helping with starts like tonight. Sort of rips the heart right out of you.
Final. Yankees lose 9-3. Louie Louie was pathetic horrid, giving up 7 runs in the first inning and all 9 runs the Orioles scored in just 3 1/3 innings. Marinaccio and Abreu pitched the final 4 2/3 innings giving up 0 runs, just 2 hits and 1 walk. How about the lineup, they did score 3 runs, Bauers solo HR and RBI single, Bader RBI single. Now get this, the Yankees struck out 18 times. That means for six innings or 2/3 of the game the lineup did not put the ball in play. Horrendous. Horrid and horrendous in one short summary of tonight's game. In a word that is pathetic. Enough said.
The best thing I could say about tonight's game, I didn't have to sweat it. In will-i-am's words, HORRID, HORRENDOUS, PATHETIC.
Next up. Rays in for three game series, M,T,W.
Boone said in an interview after last night's game how great the lineup was doing and how they put great presser on the Oriole's starter last night. That is right after striking out 18 times. What a disgrace.
Has Boone EVER criticized a player??? EVER??? We have players who do not run out ground balls, do not hustle, we had 18 strikeouts last night, we have had bonehead base running, and other failures. Nothing is ever said. I don't care if he mentions something to players in private. Say it so the fans know where you stand and what you will do about it. Wokeism is a cancer and it is killing America in every which way possible.

Big stage for Brito tonight. Five scoreless innings would be magnificent. Judge DH. Every game is a big game for each team for the rest of the season until eliminated from earning a playoff spot.
One inning and Yankees trail 2-0.
Yankees down 5-1 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 5-1. Brito started for German who had 'armpit' pain. Brito pitched four innings giving up 4 home runs and 5 runs. Believe it or not, German comes in for the fifth inning and pitches five scoreless innings. What in heck is going on. Lone Yankee run on Bauers home run. Bats terrible again.
Another poor loss. Well, the Yankees have two months to make their case. Judge can be a force at the plate, but anyone can see he is unable to run hard, and that is bad for base running and playing the outfield. I see the look on Stanton's face and it appears he doesn't give a damn if strike outs, pops-up, or hits into a double play. He can't run, he can't field and he has a smiley smiirk has he heads back to the dugout being loudly booed. There are several teams in contention for playoff spots and I don't believe any one of them is throwing in the towel or going to just lie down and roll over. Only one way to get to the second season, and that is with winning and WINS. The stat frauds and the talking heads are fools when they talk of individual stats, exit velocity, or any stat flavor of the day. ONLY WINS WILL GET TEAMS AND PLAYERS TO THE PLAYOFFS.
Rodon starts tonight. Huge game for him and the Yankees as we start the last two months of the regular season. We can still win this series.
Rodon produced last time out. He should be rounding into top form after his last start and missing so much time this season. Would be big if he and then Cole throw back to back wins over the Rays. It would be nice if the lineup helped out.
The cancer of wokeness has struck a majority of the USA women's soccer team and coaches. Not all, but most. What a shame and disgrace these people are.
Diane Stahl, why would any of these people even play if they do not respect what/who they are playing for.
Captain Lindsey Horan and forward Alex Morgan were both seen singing the anthem, while goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher and midfielder Julie Ertz placed their hand across their chest as is customary during the American national anthem.
But the majority of the starting line up and coaches elected to stay silent once more, which is likely to trigger further criticism of their actions in New Zealand.
It should also trigger major criticism in the United State of America.

Stanton and Bader both out. Out because Stanton sucks? and Bader trade bait?
Lois, 90% of MLB players don't sing during the national anthem. Fox News is making you weird.
A Rodon win tonight could bring a lot of fans onto his bandwagon.
Grosner, are you brain dead. That is a rhetorical question. You are brain dead. MLB players are not representing a country nor playing for their country. Also, every other country in the World Cup sings their countries national anthem. It is pride and character. You may want to find some.
Lois, not a single baseball player representing our country during the World baseball classic sang during our anthem. Lower participation than the women! Did anyone notice? No, because Fox News manipulates you people with fake outrage like this over and over again.

Rodon getting lit up, 4 runs in 3 innings and Yankees have 0.
Yanks down 5-0 after 6.
Final. Yankees lose 5-2. Rodon went four innings, looked terrible, gave up 4 runs and took the loss. Yankee bullpen allowed just 1 run over the past five innings. Yankees scored their 2 run after 2 outs and nobody on in the 9th. With 2 runners on and 2 out, Boone sent Stanton up to pinch hit as the tying run. Stanton did what he does best, swung and missed three pitches and the game was over. Yanks hitters looked bad all game including the 9thi inning where they got a bloop double and infield roller for hits.
Now we play tomorrow to not get swept. Cole starts. He didn't give up any runs last time out and the Yankees still lost.
The World Baseball Classic Is a Pile of Hot Garbage
BLEACHER REPORT
In creating the WBC, Bud Selig failed miserably. You see, a number of things need to happen in order for an athletic competition to be as competitive as possible.
First, the owners who are paying the players need to be on board with the idea. Second, the event needs to take place at a time that won’t interfere with anything else major. Last, audiences and fans worldwide need to know they are watching first class competition between athletes who will do anything to win. Alas, that is the spirit of good competition. ------ Except in the WBC, where it isn’t.
Bud Selig opted to hold this tournament literally weeks before the start of the major league season. Owners and players alike took serious issue to this. I would actually argue that the lack of a salary cap has something to do with it, because the MLB players raking in the fictional amounts of money seem to have no interest risking anything by playing in this tournament So immediately, two of the first three requirements for serious competition lie unfulfilled. The owners don’t want their great players playing, and a lot of their players agree.
To solve this, Bud Selig decided to lay down a series of rules that literally made the WBC stricter than that of the Little League World Series. Don’t believe me? Well, chew on this.
1.- In every round of the tournament, there is a limited pitch count.
2.- The number of pitches thrown directly relates to the number of days a pitcher is forced to rest...IN WHAT
IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
3.- The pitcher never has to bat.
4.- There is a mercy rule. No, I’m not kidding. There is a mercy rule in a tournament where nearly every
single player is getting paid to do this.
So instead of just taking anyone that was willing to play a serious competitive tournament, Selig catered to the needs of MLB owners and turned the WBC into pure garbage. For those of you keeping averages at home, the competitiveness factor is now well under the Mendoza Line.
So I assume some of you are wondering, “Why are you writing all of this now instead of three years ago?” Here’s why ----- There are other teams worldwide who are taking this significantly more seriously than the US. That actually isn’t an issue to me at all. I could care less who wins this thing because as I just stated, this isn’t a real tournament.
I blame the head coach of the USA women's team for what is happening. Whoever he/she is should just come out and say, I gave each and every player the choice of doing whatever each felt right for themselves. End of story.
If the Yankee lineup can't put runs on the scoreboard, it will make no difference how well the pitchers do. A so called "quality start" for a pitcher is allowing 3 runs or less and completing six innings. Thus, if every Yankee started pitched a quality start, the Yankees would still lose unless the offense scores 3 runs in every game. The Yankee have scored 3 runs or less in 50 games this season so far.

Rizzo out against a righty?? What is the over/under on Stanton K/s??
Let's go Yankees
Guy Padikianm I have no idea what over under is, but I say Stanton K's 3 times and looks bad doing it and then walks back to the bench smiling.
Cole starts game walking first batter and follow with a home run to the second batter. Yanks down 2-0 as they come to bat.
German will be out for the rest of the season to enter an alcohol abuse program. Get it done, come back, and be the best you can be next season.
As Mel Allen would say, "how about that", time for a Ballantine Ale and a White Owl cigar, Volpe 2 run HR and Stanton 3 run HR in third put Yankees on top 5-2 after three innings.
Yanks up 5-2 after 5.
I’m glad German is doing that for himself and his family, and I hope Sabathia will reach out to him for support from sone one who went through the process.
Cole comes out after seven with a 7-2. Gave up both runs to the first two batters he faced and then dominated from then on.
Final. Yankees win 7-2. Cole goes seven innings allowing both Rays runs and was very strong through out the seven innings. Kahnle in for the 8th and K'd 3. Holmes in for the 9th and closes out game with 2 K's' Yankee runs on a 2 run Volpe HR and a 3 run Stanton HR and a Stanton RBI single. Torres steal of home capped the evening.
So Stanton woke up tonight, how long will it last or was it just a one off?
Astro's come to the Stadium for a four game long weekend series. Schmidt, Severino, Cortes, Rodon starters.
Cortes off DL and back in rotation. As we now know, German done for the rest of season.
RLA, isn't that the Houston Astro's, the team with the midget Latin American infielder who likes to cheat whenever he can? I haven't heard much about him lately, isn't he old now?
Yanks looked decent tonight. At least they put up a nice big crooked number.
Gil McKenzie, he had been on the DL most of the season, but I think he is back now.

Rizzo out again? I think I would rather see IKF at leadoff.
Rizzo update - - - Anthony Rizzo is headed to the DL with concussion symptoms, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters before tonight's game against the Astros.
The Yankees believe Rizzo's injury stems from a May 28 collision at first base involving the Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. in which Tatis' hip made contact with Rizzo's head as Rizzo caught a throw from the plate. Rizzo underwent tests in accordance with MLB's concussion protocol at the time of the injury and passed all tests, according to Boone, but the 13-year veteran has experienced brain fog in recent days, leading to today's decision. Rizzo has had more recent tests revealing cognitive impairment.
Weird, no symptoms after the incident, but symptoms two months later?
Whoa Nellie, back to back home runs, Stanton 2 run and McKinney solo put Yankees in front 3-0 in first inning.
Yanks up 3-2 after 3.
Yanks squeak out a0 win 4-3 to take first game of four game series.
Final. Yankees win 4-3. Schmidt went five innings allowing 2 runs, leaving game with a 3-2 lead. Peralta went 1/3 inning allowing 1 run. KIng came in for 1 2/3 innings for the win. Kahnle a shutout eighth for a save and Holmes a shutout ninth for the save. Yankee runs came on back to back HR's in the second inning by Stanton with a man on and McKinney a solo for an early 3-0 lead. Volpe a 2 out RBI single in the sixth when it mattered most for the 4th Yankee run which was the game winner.
Just enough pitching and just enough hitting for a one run win. A win is a win.
Louie Louie gets another chance in game two against the Astro's.
I wonder if Severino's head is screwed up to some degree. The Yankees keep rolling him out there, He throws in the upper 90's. The bad, the hitters barrel up so many of his pitches.
No prison for Biden and his family. Execution for collusion and treason. After a trial.

No Judge. Why do you rest a DH. Produce when it matters most and we can win. That goes for the pitchers and the hitters because it's a team game and everyone contributes.
If you think you win and play as hard as you can, you might win. If you give up or quit, you are a loser and do not deserve to win. This goes for sports, work, life in general, and the crew of credent's at the nyyfans forum.
Geronimo & Jackson, get rid of them all.
Guy Padikian, Judge sitting could be doctors orders.
Steve(winstheonlystat), so so true.
Louie Louie gives up 3 run home run in first inning. Same old same old.
Yanks down 4-0 after 2.
Louie Louie goes four poor innings giving up 5 runs. Not good. How many chances will he keep getting?
IKF HR if 5th cut Houston lead to 5-2.
Yanks down 5-2 after 5.
Yankees have three solo home runs and trail 7-3 after eight innings. The three solo home runs equal the three run home run Severino gave up in the first inning. Yankees never got a hit with men on base.
Final. Yankees lose 7-3. Severino takes another humiliating loss allowing 5 runs in four innings of work. Abreu gives up the other 2 runs. Only Yankee runs came on home runs from Bauers, Kiner-Falefa, and Stanton. Another non-competitive loss. Series even at one game apiece.
Yankees lose 7-3 without Judge in the lineup at DH, yet he pinch hit in the 7th inning. So you are going to try to tell me that he couldn't swing the bat 3 or 4 more times. I call it Barbra Streisand.
You can't keep throwing Severino out there, it's hurting the team.
Cortes makes comeback start tomorrow.
Stanton is batting cleanup.
Wow! How did I miss that?
ymikenyy/fanforum, easy for you, you are brain dead and an idiot. My opinion is based on your comments, sarcasm, and garbage posts from my time at the the nyyfanforum.
Let's take Verlander down.
Cortes in his first comeback outing goes four innings allowing one hit, a solo home run, strikes out 8, and leaves game with a 1-1 score.
1-1 after 2.
Bauers HR gives Yanks 2-1 lead thru fifth.
Yanks up 2-1 after 7.
Torres HR in 8th gives the Yankees an insurance run and 3-1 lead.
Yankees win it 3-1.
Final. Yankees win 3-1. Won, just the way Guy Padikian described. Cortes goes four innings allowing 1 run and keeps Yankees in game. Hamilton goes two scoreless innings and earns the win. Kahnle and King each go scoreless innings and each earn a hold. Holmes a scoreless ninth for the save. Yankee took the ball to the right side, Volpe RBI sac fly, Bauers and Torres solo home runs. Yankees take 2-1 lead in series with one more game tomorrow afternoon.

If Verlander is going for the outside corner on the right handed hitters, they need to hit the ball to right field.
Cortes five innings and keep Yanks in the game? Bullpen does the rest?

Guy Padikian, you always have fantastic comments when posting the Yankee lineups. Thank you for wisdom and knowledge. You make this blog fun to come to.
Cortes looked great today. Now if Rodon can match what Cole and Cortes have done this series we can win it.
Guy Padikian, you nailed it.
Every win ig big and wins are much needed to reach the playoffs and win the WS.
Thought this was a good time pause and wake up the radical left wingers, liberals, democrats, and media scum bottom feeders who are destroying America. Here is a well stated accurate thought for everyone,
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."
Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, Lt. Col., USMC
MAGA 2024 ---- so true. Problem is the left is hell bent on destroying America and all that is good.
Bauers has a nice bat. Couple of hits off Verlander including the big game deciding HR.
USA women eliminated from world cup. They sowed their seed and reaped the harvest. Defeat and embarrassment. A few bad seeds destroys the crop.

Let's do it again and win this series. Move forward one game at a time. Yes we can, and yes we will.
Rodon, at home, is on the hot seat again. Give the team a chance. Give up nothing.
Yankees are do for a big crooked number inning. How about a double digit run game. -- OOPs, for us.
Game time, lets go Yankees.
Torres first inning HR for a 1-0 lead.
It never stops, Rodon gives up 3 run HR and 2 run HR then twitches his left leg and come out of the game with Yankees down 5-1 after three innings.
Rodon out of game. Looks like he injured his left leg throwing a pitch in the third inning.
Wake up guys, you can still win this. Play some WIN METHOD baseball.
5-5 after 4.
Yankees with a four run 4th take Rodon off hook and tie score at 5 after four innings.
So far thru the middle of the sixth, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yankees have scored five runs, our starter has given up five runs, and our bullpen has given up five runs.
Yanks down 9-6 after 6.
Word on Rodon. Tightness in left hamstring. Not from running, from throwing a pitch which is his career. Similar to writing too many post-it notes and your hand cramping up.
Yankees go down leaving a million runners on base, 9-7.
Final. Yankees lose 9-7. A disaster. Rodon stank, gave up 5 runs. Petalta stank, gave up 4 runs, and that was the game. Offense scored 7 runs and failed time after time when it mattered most, leaving 15 men on base. The Yankees had 6 hits and walked 12 times. The Yankees scored 3 runs on hits, 3 runs on walks, and 1 run a HBP.
You can' t make stuff like this up. Time is growing shorter.
Yankees head to Chicago to play the White Sox in a three game series, all night games Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Cole, Schmidt, and TBD. Need to start sweeping some series.
Billy Tedder, your comment was funny. 😃
The Astro's scored eight runs on three Yankee pitches. Good production when it mattered. The Astro pitchers walked 12 Yankee batters, HBP a batter and gave up 8 hits, one was a home run, and the Yankees could only score 7 runs. Minimal production when it mattered. Everything else is stat fraud fodder.
Six games this week. Three with White Sox and three with the Marlins. Six wins the goal, five would be great, four is just ok, three means nothing, two loses ground, one or none devastating.
Rodon having an MRI today to check severity of hamstring tightness in his left leg. After the game Rodon stated that he was fine when talking to the press and added he was taken out of game for precautionary reasons.
The 13 Gold Star families who lost their children in Afghanistan two years ago because of the deliberate criminal orders from Joe POS Biden and his criminally corrupt joe-bama/commie MALADY administration along with the people who support them, got to speak for the first time about what really happened in the Afghanistan chaos that was created and encouraged by the criminals in our present administration who must ALL be wiped off the planet. If any of you care, find the replay of the parents statements and/or read them. Learn about the scum Joe POS Biden and his administration.
Anthony Naro, I watched it live and cried all the way through. Everyone should watch it if they can. Biden from what each parent said, comes off as a lowlife lying dirtbag, but most here knew that already.
Boston/Yankee, winning all six would help. Not moving forward in the stretch run usually ensures losing.

Cole to get week off with a winning start.
Rodon placed on 15 day DL with hamstring strain.
The statements from the parents of the 13 dead Afghanistan soldiers killed by Biden were heartbreaking, buy they all knew Biden and his administration were to blame.
I like McKinney in tonight's lineup.
Must take either 4,5, or 6 games this week.
Five innings in the books. Yankees down 2-0, do not have a hit, had the bases loaded and no outs in second inning and could not score. Popup, popup, slow roller. I wonder if anyone on the team feels embarrassment yet.
Final. Yankees lose 5-1. Cole takes the loss giving up 4 runs in 7+ innings. Yankee bats utterly pathetic once again. Failure after failure when it mattered most again today. McKinney sac fly only Yankee run.
5-1 Yankee lose again. Woe is me, woeful are the Yankees.
Anthony Naro, as yourself this: how many gold stars families would there have been if Biden didn't have the guts to get us out? What about the 70 plus gold star families from the previous administration because they kept us mired in that needless conflict? What about their stories?
No longer are any Americans being sent to their death in Afghanistan and we have a brace leader to thank instead of a weak minded narcissist who couldn't get the job done.
For anyone interested, if you get a chance, listen or read what the parents of the 13 USA soldiers who died in the failed Afghanistan retreat conducted by the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration had to say about it and its failure.
Schmidt starts tonight as Yankees try to even series with White Sox. No runs no wins.
There are none so blind as those who will not see. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Grosner
There are none so deaf as those who will not listen. ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
The Yankees have left 28 men on base in their last 2 games. This is the first 2-game span in Yankees history they have left 28 runners left on base, both losses, both 9-inning games.
The Yankees have named Severino to start Wednesday's third game in Chicago. Do they think they are in a pennant race?
I like this guy a lot. A younger, very aggressive, very conservative, no nonsense candidate for president in 2024. Watch what happens in the debates and he gains traction. Then the scum of the world corrupt leftwing media, liberals, progressives, and democrats will start assaulting everything about him. They will like, make up stories, pay fake informants to lie about him, you all know the drill. We could use a younger version of Trump.
Mike Smith, you are talking about Vivek Ramaswamy. He is my choice right after Trump.
Diane Stahl, Thank you. Yes, Vivek Ramaswamy. I am so stupid not writing his name.
I'm biding my time. Will watch debates and see how things shake out and then come together. One thing for sure I will vote for whoever or whatever finally runs as a conservative republican. If a democrat wins, there will be hell to pay and very possibly the beginning of the end.
What are the Yankees trying to prove or discover by starting Severino yet again tomorrow!
Mike, if Ramaswamy starts gaining traction in the polls the Democrats are the last thing you should worry about. Trump will lie about him not being born in the country, make up racist nicknames for him, mock his religion like he did to Ben Carson, humiliate him for being short, call his wife ugly like he did to Ted Cruz. Who knows what else.
You are stuck with this monster unless justice is served. Enjoy!

Hope we do better than last night's fiasco.
0-0 after 2.
Don't look now, the Yankees just scored four runs in fourth inning for a 4-0 lead.
Yankees win 7-1.
Final. Yankees win 7-1. Schmidt goes 5 1/3 allowing the lone White Sox run and earns the win. King goes 2 2/3 scoreless innings for a hold and Loaisiga makes his MLB return fresh off the DL for a scoreless mop up ninth inning. Big hit and when it mattered most by Kiner-Falefa a 2 rbi double, a Bader rbi single and a Bauers rbi single all in the fourth inning/ In the eighth inning Higashioka a 2 run HR and Judge a solo HR for tack on insurance runs. Rubber game tomorrow.
Louie Louie tonight, another chance, on a short leash, we need wins.
Grosner, you are the one lying. As I stated, Ramaswamy may be a younger version of Trump, in his beliefs to make America great again. Let's see what happens down the road. Since you have been wrong about almost everything you have posted, I think Ramaswamy will be fine.
If Louie Louie has no underlying physical condition that has something to do with his pitching while he is able to throw fastballs consistently in the upper 90's. Then there is something drastically wrong with something else or a combination of something else's. If there is no movement on his fastball and it is straight almost all the time, then he needs for someone to show him how to get multiple movements on it, if that is even possible. There are pitchers whose fastball is only mid 90's and others with lower 90's that succeed because their fast balls move and batters have trouble square it up.
As it is being irrefutably proven that the Biden family has received tens of millions of dollars from countries, governments, businesses buying favors, kickbacks, etc,, people are asking what is the Biden family business.
Simple as 1,2,3. The Biden family business, is corruption, treachery, destroying America, collusion, lies, treason, and whatever any of you readers can name.
The Biden family crimes must be punished. First, confiscate every asset the Bidens own, sell it, with the proceeds going to American veterans, social security, etc. Second, the Biden family must by executed for their crimes.
Joe Biden and his family get all the blame. Very, very unfair to them. There is not one single leftwing, liberal, progressive democrat communist holding any political office in any town, city, county, state, of federal government any different than Joe Biden and his family. They are all corrupt, criminal, lying, scum who are only in office for their own gain, to hurt a majority of America citizens, to destroy American lives, morals, rights, and freedoms. Bury, and bury every one of those politicians including the ones on the right who hold those same disgusting values.
Ian Hamilton is being used a starter tonight, not Louie Louie. That suggests a bullpen game in some shape or form. Will Louie Louie be one of those shapes or forms.

Rubber game + bullpen game + produce win it matters most, = win = a step forward.
Harvey, by "irrefutably proven" Joe Biden has broken the law do you just mean his political opponents saying it or do you mean actual evidence? Because to date I have seen absolutely zero evidence and even the Republicans investigating admit they have no evidence. Sorry about people lying to you.
Having Severino pitch in relief is a good strategy to 'reset' him. Hopefully it works.
Grosner, I'll be nice, you are mistaken. The congressional committees have a vast amount of evidence and more is evidence is found every day. There are two or three different committees investigating different aspects of the Biden family criminal treason. The evidence is being knit together like a hand made lace wedding dress. When Biden is put down, I would expect that would suffice to prove enough evidence. One more thought for you, where do you think the money for the Biden families multi-million dollar lifestyle and multiple properties come from?
Harvey, adding to your list, tax evasion.
Woody, that is great--and if they find evidence of crimes by Joe he should be put in jail. Simple as that.
Hopefully they are also working to find evidence of the rigged election, too. Been waiting 3 years for that!
What difference does it make? Yankees use open so Severino will not start game and pitch first inning. Hamilton starts and pitches any easy scoreless first inning. Severino comes in for the second inning (his first) and to answer my question, -- no difference -- Severino gives up three runs on hard hit pitches putting Yankees into another hole he keeps digging for them. Severino comes out for third inning (his secons) and two more hard hit hits giving up another run. Yankees down 4-0 after three innings. Whoever decided that Severino should keep pitching with the Yankees should be fired.
Now for the big comeback.
Yanks down 5-1 after 6.
Seventh inning, Yankees do it again. Bases load no one out. Bada bing bada boom, strikeout, double play, inning over. Failure when it matters most.
Final. Yankees lose 9-2. Severino humiliated again and takes loss. Yankee bats fail repeatedly. Had a great opportunity in 7th inning, down 5-2, have bases loaded and no outs, but a strikeout and a double play ends the inning pathetically. Off day tomorrow, seemingly like many of the games they have played.
Yankees embarrassed and lose 9-2, losing the series to a team 23 games under .500.
Awful game tonight, just awful.
Right on target. New York Post front page headline today. Biden picture holding 'FOR SALE' sign.
Yankees head to Florida to play Marlins over the weekend. Do the Marlins want Stanton for their playoff run?
Yanks lost 2 of 3 to White Sox, and now play Marlins who are better than the White Sox a 3 game set.
As MLB teams make their final run to the playoffs, the Yankees are walking.
Still no one named as starter for Yankees tomorrow night. The Ouija board not functioning?
Chad Copely, or no one wants to start because if they only give up a run or two they will lose since the lineup doesn't score much.
What do cakes and the Yankees have in common?
Linda, I googled your question and got the answer. Cute and true.
Linda Pardo, I think I got it.
Merrick Garland and Joe Biden are blood brothers joined at the hip in criminal corruption and treason.
Merrick Garland and Joe Biden are the dictionary definition of the scum destroying this country.

Ian Hamilton starts. Hamilton will be Yankee starter for two consecutive games, albeit with an off day between starts.
LeMahieu out again. Hamilton one inning again? That was a waste last game and it would be a waste this game, so I am taking it for granted that is what Boone will do.
From what I have seen so far this season from the Yankees, if they do not immediately upgrade their quality of play and double to triple their production when it matters most over the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.
Ian Hamilton will now be the first pitcher to start two consecutive games for his team since Wilber Wood.
Looks like Cortes is done for the season with a recurrence of the injury he just came off the DL with, and he is being placed back on the DL. So likely also done are the Yankees chances of making the playoffs.
Yanks bats come alive, lead 7-3 thru four innings.
Yanks up 7=4 after 7.
Final. Yankees win 9-4. Take game one of Marlin series. IKF with rbi single. Judge solo HR. Torres rbi single. Volpe 3 run HR, Bauer rbi single, Higashioka 2 rbi single as the Yankee bats wake up. Hope it's not just for one game. Hamiltion went first two innings allowing 2 runs. Vasquez went 3 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs and earns the win. Loaisiga 1 1/3 innings shutout ball for a hold, Kahnle 1 shutout inning for a hold. Holmes for a 1,2,3 ninth to close out game.
The Yankee hitters must have thought that Severino was pitching against them tonight. The Marlin pitcher was throwing high high 90's but the Yankee's (all) were hitting rockets all over the field scoring seven early runs for the easy win.
With the starting pitching decimated, Yanks have not named a starter for tomorrow yet. Probably another bullpen type game.
Will the Yankees do it two more times over the Marlins. That is the only road to the playoffs. Wins.
King starting for Yankees this afternoon as team tries to jigsaw another bullpen game. Gotta do what you gotta do.

King opening for Yanke3s. If the lineup does what they did last night the Yankees will win.
Yankees being down starters may be trying to stretch King out a bit. He came up as a starter. We will know soon enough by seeing how long they keep him in the game today.
King only goes two innings because of pitch count. Gives up 2 runs on a first inning HR.
Final. Yankees lose 3-1. King takes the loss giving up 2 runs in two innings. Brito goes the next five innings allowing 1 run. Middleton one scoreless innings. Yankee lineup anemic after last nights effort. One run on Kiner-Falefa when it mattered most rbi single. Series even, Cole starts tomorrow to try for series win.
Yanks go down 3-1. No offense again. Me thinks the playoffs are doubtful.
When I miss a game for whatever reason, I am not happy. That was in the past, because I usually missed a win and a good game. Not so much, anymore. Missing today's game, I really missed nothing.
The real fun will happen when we play the Braves next for three games.
The pitching from the Yankees has been very good, the losses are mainly coming from the lineup who is failing at a far to high rate. Yes folks, the teams and players who produce the most when it matters and counts the most, will win the most, and those are the teams and players who will go to the playoffs and beyond.

Last game Cole pitched he gave up 2 runs and got the loss. Will the lineup back him up today?
Boone calling out terrible umpires is the one thing I actually like about Boone. Especially the ones who have been notoriously bad for years to the point where you wonder how they still have a job.
Hobbs, they still have jobs because incompetence and corruption comes from the top and works its way down, creeping into every facet of our culture. The criminally corrupt joe-bama/commie MALADY administration exudes criminality and corruption. The DOJ, IRS, FBI, DHS, etc., along with the entire administration and all their agencies. Billion-dollar companies, supported by the corrupt government, windmills, solar panels, electric cars, banning what is good for the American people while supporting what is bad for the American people. If you can't see it, you don't want to see it or you support it, or you are being paid to support it, you too are the problem.
So, that is why we have incompetent garbage umpires.
Yanks up 4-1 after 4.
Woody/Atlanta, Your response to Hobbs, was great, describing to a T what is happening to the USA under the present cancerous administration.
The hi-light was your final sentence make me LOL.
Yankees take a 7-1 lead after five innings on Rortvedt HR.
Yankees lose 8-7 as Holmes gives up 5 runs in the bottom of ninth. Has to be this seasons worst and most devasting loss. It is inconceivable, unbelievable, and season defining all in one game. Say good night, Alice.
When Boone brought in Holmes in the 9th with a 4 run lead. I said to myself, why, and really had a bad feeling about it. As Holmes threw each pitch and faced each batter my feeling got worse, until the dribbler back to him, and it that second he threw the ball away and I knew the game was over. A terrible loss.
Yankees lose 8-7. Merciless.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Yankees blow four run lead in ninth, loss 8-7.
What a loss!!!
I wonder when the cabal owning, operating, running, deciding, coaching, analysts, and managing this Yankee team will look in the mirror and face the truth of what they have wrought.
Ok ok, I've waited long enough, i've cooled off. FINAL! THE YANKEES LOSE 8-7. Cole goes six innings allowing 2 runs and leaves game leading 7-2. Peralta goes 1 1/3 innings allowing 1 run with Middleton going 2/3 of an inning allowing 0 runs. Eight innings complete with Yankees leading 7-3. Holmes, the closer, comes on in a non-closer situation to waste an inning on his arm. Holmes pitches to six batters, gets one out, gives up 3 hits, a walk, and puts a man on base with his throwing error. So faces six batters and five of them reach base. All five score and the Yankees lose 8-7. Yes, the Yankees scored 7 runs. Kiner-Falefa rbi single. Stanton rbi double. Volpe 2 run HR. McKinney rbi single, and Torres scores on a wild pitch. Rortvedt solo HR.
It should be real interesting to see what happens in the next three games as the Yankee play the MLB leading team, the Atlanta Braves. One Yankee win would be a grandiose accomplishment. But that is why they play the games on the field and not on paper or in minds of whoever.
Woody/Atlanta, your post, comment, and last line made my day.
The Yankees have only won one series since July 1st thru today August 13th. They beat KC July 21,22,23. One series win in six weeks. How bad is that.
Schmidt, Severino, and Vasquez Yankee starters for Braves series.
Schmidt will get a real test tonight against the Braves. Braves are managed and playing to win every game, and they are winning most games. The Yankees aren't.

All right handed lineup. Good or bad? We'll find out.
Nice to have LeMahieu back in the lineup.
