The New York YANKEES start their 2024 season today. They start the season with their best pitcher, Gerrit Cole, on the DL (disabled list) and their starting third baseman, DJ LeMahieu also on the DL. It is estimated that Cole will be out of action for about two months, and LeMahieu out for anywhere from two weeks to two months. There are also several other players who will start the season on the DL.
The ultimate goal for the YANKEES is to win the World Series. There are many thresholds that must be met just to get to the World Series. Every threshold is met in only one way, WINS. Wins is the only stat that determines the best players and the best teams in baseball. Over the 162 game season the teams who win their division will move on to the playoffs, and the next teams in each league with the most wins will also go on to the playoffs. The playoffs then start and only the teams that WIN each round move forward towards the World Series.
Any team that loses any round is finished for the season. Only WINS determines which teams move forward, until only one team in each league is left, and they will be the two teams who will meet in the World Series to determine which team and their players are the best in baseball. No players individual stats mean a thing on which players and teams reach the World Series. Learn this fans, if you haven't already or if you are new to baseball, only WINS determines which players are and which team is the World Champions of baseball, by winning the World Series.
The YANKEES have upgraded their lineup and roster significantly by adding Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, and Marcus Stroman to the team for the 2024 season. Anthony Volpe will be in his second season and still on the improve. Austin Wells, a promising youngster, has been added to the catching ranks. The YANKEES, will be looking for help from several young pitchers until their 'ace' Cole returns to the starting rotation.
In other news, this blog, the WIN METHOD YANKEE baseball blog, will break two billion views in the next several months. The WIN METHOD blog is the number one YANKEE baseball blog in the world with readers and contributors of opinions from all around the world. Yes, 2,000,000,000 views, from all over the world. Thank you all, wherever you are from for your viewership and your opinions.
As the season begins, lets all get behind and support our team, the New York YANKEES, and their run to the World Series. It will not be easy, there are thirty teams with the same goal.
Again, thank you everyone, for making the WIN METHOD what it is today, the best blog, forum, or site in the world, just as you all are, the best in the world readers and posters.

As of now 'A' lineup. Playing for a series win.
Oh my, Yanks score six runs in first inning.
Yanks up 8-0 after 5.
Final. Yankees win 11-5. The win tonight insures the Yanks win this four game series with the Royals, and will play for a sweep of the series tomorrow in game four. Poteet went 5 1/3 strong innings giving up 2 runs and earns the win. Hamilton goes 1 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs in a poor effort. Kahnle goes 1/3 inning allowing a hit and a walk before getting the out. Not good. Weaver goes 1 scoreless inning. Ferguson pitches the final scoreless inning. The offense in order. First inning, Verdugo 2 rbi single, Rizzo sac fly rbi, Trevino 3 run home run. Fifth inning, Stanton 2 run home run. Eighth inning , Torres 3 run home run. That's all 11 runs. Three crooked number scoring innings.
Another easy win tonight. Another series win. Another chance to sweep the series tomorrow. Cortes starts tomorrow and is overdo for an outstanding game.
Lets sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Sweet lineup. Playing for a 4 game series sweep. Sweet sweep. Lets go Yankees.
0-0 after 3.
Yankees trail 2-0 after six. The lineup has been pathetic today and are without a hit. Three more innings and that could change in the blink of an eye. Judge K'd in first two at bats.
Yankees score 3 in 8th and take 3-2 lead. Will the bullpen hold it.
Holmes blows it. A dreadful game turned into a win, turned into a blown save and a loss.
After the first three games, a very sad loss today, especially after taking the lead in the 8th inning.
Final. Yankees lose 4-3 in down, up, down game. Cortes goes seven great innings allowing 2 runs keeping the Yankees in the game. Weaver pitches a scoreless 8th after the Yanks take the lead in the top of the 8th. Holmes in for the 9th and gives the game away allowing 2 runs and takes the bad loss. Yankees did not have a hit over six innings. Got their first hit in the seventh. Then in the eighth, Rizzo a solo HR. After Wells and Grisham hits put men on 1st and 3rd, pinche runner James scores tying run on Volpe ground out rbi. Soto rbi single gives Yanks 3-2 lead. Judge strikes out to end the inning, his fourth strikeout of the game. Win series but lose sweep. Not a good day for Yankee fans. YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL. Take the bad with all the good.
Hope today turn into a wakeup call going into Boston.
I wish I never posted what I did.
Judge looked awfully bad today, missing every think thrown to him, and swinging at pitches no where near the plate. I guess anyone can have a rotten day.
Forget today, what's done is done. Tomorrow the Yanks open a three game series with the sux in Boston. Gil, Rodon, and Stroman starters. Just win the series and move on.
Let's not become like the other forums. They are losers. Our team loses, so what, every team loses games. Any player can have a bad game and cost his team the game. It happens. Even the greatest players of all time had bad games and likely cost their team a game here and there. Forget about it.
Didn't look like it was the Yankees day as the game was played. I still thought a 2 run lead could be overcome. With the 3 runs in the eighth I thought we would win. Didn't happen. The KC bullpen gave the game away, Holmes gave it back.
Make amends for today's loss. Take it out on the sux over the weekend.
Gil starts tonight and has been pitching brilliantly. Yankee lineup will need to do better than yesterday, particularly Judge. A four strikeout game is not good by any means. And I believe Judge would be the first one to admit it, and want to make amends quickly.
I have read that Boone is thinking about the possibility of playing Stanton in the outfield in the Boston series. There is absolutely one million percent no good that come from Stanton on the field ever again, until maybe when he retires.
Again, another corrupt progressive liberal democrat, AG Merrick Garland orders the DOJ, which he runs, not to release the Biden tape of Biden's testimony with special counsel Hur back in October. Criminal Garland says the American people who pay his salary, do not have the right to hear them and learn the truth.
You vote for these people, you are then one of them, an utter disgrace to America.

Lets get ready to rumble. One game at a time. One win at a time.
The Yanks had their bad game for this week. Back onto the playoff express tonight. Crooked numbers a few innings would be nice.
Possible rain tonight. Game should get completed, but things change on a dime.
RAIN DELAY IN BOSTON
Gerrit Cole tonight. AAA game. Went 4 1/3 innings allowing 1 unearned run, 2 hits. Cole struck out 10 of the 13 outs he got and threw 70 pitches. 😊⬆️😊⬆️😊
Yanks up 2-0 after 2.
Gil working hard. Grinding, but leads 3-1 thru 4.
Gil had to go all out tonight. Completed five innings allowing just one run, leaving game with Yankees leading 5-1. Gil threw over 100 pitches, walked several batters and his control was way off. Growing pains of a youngster, and hopefully future star for many years down the road.
Gloria LaCorte, you called it. Crooked numbers in three innings.
Yankees take first game of series 7-1. Do it again tomorrow.
Gil threw several 100 mph fastballs tonight. Poor control forced him to throw over 100 pitches in just five innings. Did get the win going the five innings with Yankees on top from start to finish.
Final. Yankees win 8-1. Gil went five hard innings giving up 1 run earning the win. Kahnle goes 2/3 inning 0 runs, Ferguson 1 1/3 innings 0 runs, Gonzalez 2/3 inning 0 runs, and Tonkin 1 1/3 innings 0 runs. Four scoreless innings from a very nice, albeit, unflashy bullpen. Scoring, first inning Verdugo 2 run HR. Fourth inning Stanton scores on error, no rbi. Fifth inning Verdugo rbi double, Rizzo rbi single. Ninth inning, Trevino solo HR, Judge rbi double, Verdugo rbi single.
Depending on how Cole feels after his third rehab start today, he will either pitch next week in another rehab game or start for the Yankees.
MAGA 2024 >>> I really liked your most recent comments. I can't believe the corruption in all of government agencies presently. They are dismantling American culture while accepting criminals, who in the guise of 'protests' are calling for the destruction and killing of the Jewish nation and people. They are creating another Hitler state. America must wake up and eliminate them completely.
The Yankee outfield, Verdugo in left, Judge in center, Soto in right is the best outfield in baseball right now. Both offensively and defensively.
You want to make it better? Bring up Dominquez and put in the outfield.
Wait, I am not finished, then move Verdugo to first base.
Rizzo can still stay on the team or get rid of him.
The one player who does need to go is Stanton, one way or the other.
bigbadwolf, sometimes the answer is right in front of you. I hope the Yankees can see that. Build with what you have in house. Dominguez would had so much to the lineup. It can be done right now. Verdugo is athletic, I don't think he would have any problem at first base.
MAGA 2024, we do not have a DOJ anymore. It is the DOI, Department Of Injustice. The corruption there is unbelievable. Coverups galore, conspiracies everywhere. Garland and his cohorts are all criminals that need to be fumigated like the rats and roaches they are.

Do it again. Rodon keep us close. Lineup scores runs. Results should be a win.
Looking at the lineup and what bigbadwolf wrote, Dominguez takes Stanton's spot and Rizzo could be the DH. That would be a very potent top and middle of the lineup.
Rodon puts Yankees in hole 3-0 after first inning.
Rodon has nothing tonight and is getting hammered. Has Yanks down 5-2 after 2 and has thrown 62 pitches.
Yanks down 5-2 after 2.
Rodon grinds thru five innings throwing 109 pitches and leaves down 5-2.
After watching game, could you all just imagine the possible outcome if Dominguez was in lineup instead of Stanton. Even with his home runs, for the most part Stanton is a black hole, and more so when it matters most.
Final. Yankee lose 8-4 and look bad. Rodon went five innings giving up 5 runs in the first two innings and takes the loss. He was pretty bad tonight. But it happens. Marinaccio went 2 innings giving up 1 run and Gonzalez went 1 inning giving up 2 runs. Yankee runs, LeMahieu 2 rbi single. Soto solo HR. LeMahieu ground out rbi. That was the game. Rubber game tomorrow night.
I wonder if the stat frauds keep stats how much a batter swings and misses at a pitch and how many inches this miss it by. I would think Stanton leads all of baseball in that stat. He misses some pitches by anywhere from a foot (which is close for him) to two feet and few times more than that.
I was quickly dismayed after the first two innings. To his credit Rodon did go five innings with 100 plus pitches. Plus the Yankee lineup did fail several times in big spots. Win tomorrow and all is forgotten.
Why is Stanton batting 5th? He is a rally killer. He can't hit sliders low and away. Put him in the bottom of the lineup of not at all.
Stroman and Yankees playing for a series win tonight. The sux after facing Gil and Rodon will see a change of pace against Stroman. Lineup needs to do better. It all comes down to producing when it counts most.
Dodgers saying pitcher Yamamoto may be placed on the DL with 'triceps issue'. I believe it stems from his start against the Yankees when he threw many pitchers at a higher velocity than he had been throwing all year. I also believe in his start in NY against the Yankees he was trying to prove what he thinks the Yankees missed in not signing him. His and the Dodgers problem and thankfully not the Yankees.
Let's not forget. Today is Fathers Day.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the dad's who post and or read the WIN METHOD blog. 😊💖😊
Yes, HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the fathers everywhere. Enjoy!

D LeMahieu (R) 3B
All I can say is Stanton is due. A win is the goal.
Yanks trail 4-1 after five innings and only have one hit, a Judge first inning home run. Lineup has been horrible, and Stroman is done for the night, throwing over 100 pitchers for second straight game. As I write Trevino leads off sixth with home run. Now 4-2.
Yanks down 4-3 after 6.
Yankees load bases win no outs in top of seventh, but fail to score as three hitters fail to produce when it mattered most. Torres and Trevino biggest culprits. Watch the game replay and see why.
OK, yes it was a loss, yes it was only one game, but it was also humiliating and embarrassing.
Yanks lose 9-3, when failing to score in the seventh inning with the bases loaded, no outs, and the score 4-3 at the time. I hope they think about, and I hope more that they care how bad they looked to their fans in the last three innings of tonight's game.
Yanks lose 9-3. Ugly game.
Final. Yankees lose 9-3. Stroman take the loss, the bullpen was a disgrace. The lineup scored 3 runs, 2 on solo home runs, and 1 on a wild pitch. Not one time did the lineup produce when it mattered in the entire game. The ultimate failure when trailing by 1 run in the 7th inning the Yankees failed to score when they had the bases loaded and no outs.
In other bad news, Jasson Dominguez was placed on the DL after he felt a "tweak" in his left oblique when he checked his swing on a pitch on a AAA game on Saturday.
Yanks with day off tomorrow. To should all have to sit an watch a replay of tonight's game.
Frustrations, anger, angst, that was tonight's game for Yankee fans. It was only a game. There will be more like tonight, but there will be many more like the 50 games the Yankees have won this season.
Bases loaded no outs and the first two batters, when it matters most, can't put the bat on the ball, both feebly striking out.
Waiting to hear the results of tests on both Dominguez and Rizzo.
Yankees host the Orioles for three game series starting tomorrow. Starters for the Yankees will be Cortes, Cole, and Gil. Welcome back Gerrit Cole.
News on Rizzo. Broken forearm, out for two months. Need a left handed bat to play first base.
I would just go with LeMahieu at 1b and Cabrera at 3b. Cabrera being a switch hitter is a plus. Comes what with some big when it matters most hits and has speed and some pop. To conclude, Cabrera playing everyday instead of Rizzo is a plus to the lineup.
Yankees likely to call up Rice from AAA to take Rizzo spot on roster. He is a left-handed bat. Logical choice at this time.
If Rice is on team tonight, he will be at first base. I don't think you bring him up to sit and watch.
Rice, being a catcher should have lots of experience catching balls in the dirt, his transfer to first base should be no problem. Whenever he doesn't pick a throw in the dirt, I can hear the stat frauds, snivel, whine and cry now.

Rice makes MLB debut. Hope it's a winning one.
Yanks up 3-0 after 3.
Grisham pinch hits for Judge in 4th. Judge was hit on his hand in his previous at bat. Hopefully precautionary. We don't want to lose Judge. Say a prayer.
Cortes throws his best game of season. Goes six innings, throws over 100 pitches and leaves game with Yanks up 4-0.
Judge headed to hospital for x-rays and other imaging tests and then will see doctor tomorrow.
Hoping for no break(s).
Final. Yankees win 4-2. Cortes went six innings allowing 0 runs and 5 hits for the win. Tonkin went a scoreless 7th allowing 0 runs and 0 hits. Weaver a scoreless 8th allowing 0 runs and 1 hit. Then the scratching of the blackboard began. Holmes in for the 9th, first two batters, single and 2 run HR. Lead cut in half with no outs. Holmes get the next three batters with some help from the defense preventing the tying run from coming to bat. Yankee offense with little ball tonight. Volpe rbi single. Stanton rbi single. Torres rbi sac fly. LeMahieu rbi sac fly.
Judge hit on left hand batting in third inning. Didn't look good and was in some pain. He was taken to hospital for imaging and whatever else. Will see doctor tomorrow. Wait and hope for no broken bones.
Yanks take first game of series with O's 4-2. Cortes came up really big for the win.
Yankees win game one of three game series. Cole makes first start of season and Gil starts game three. Another win and Yankees can take this series with their closest contender.
Considering pitch count, I will be happy if Cole completes five innings tomorrow. I would consider six like striking gold.
Cole starts game two of the three game series with the Orioles at the Stadium tomorrow. Cole to duplicate Cortes six shutout innings?
X-rays and C scan reportedly came back negative on Judge hand. If there is no heavy swelling, hopefully he plays tomorrow. So far so good as to extent of injury.
The Yankees used four pitchers last night. Only one pitched poorly. Holmes gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and was the only pitcher to give any runs. Makes no difference, the Yankees scored 4 early runs, all on 'when it matters most' production.
Cole being back should give the Yanks a mental boost particularly if he does really well against the Orioles.

1-1 after 4.
5-5 thru nine. Extra innings.
Yanks go down in nine innings of MLB and one inning of little league baseball 7-6.
Tough loss. 7-6 in ten innings without Judge.
Final. Yankees lose 7-6 in tenCole goes 4 innings giving up 2 runs. Marinaccio goes 1 inning giving up 2 runs. Gonzalez goes 1 2/3 innings giving up 1 run. Kahnle goes 1/3 inning giving up 0 runs but had a big fail giving up a run scoring hit. Ferguson goes 1 inning giving up 0 runs. Misiewicz goes 1 inning giving up 0 runs. Holmes goes 1 inning giving up 2 runs, 1 the fake runner and takes the loss. Yankee runs, Torres rbi sac fly, Stanton 3 run home run and rbi single that tied game in 9th. Rice rbi sac fly. Not enough, but never gave up. Series even at one game each, rubber game tomorrow.
Stanton carried the offense, but Marinaccio and Kahnle failed miserably when it mattered most and thus the Yankees lost. You can even add Holmes onto the failed when it mattered most list, but he inherited the 'ghost' runner, which is a farce and a blackeye for MLB.
Gil starts tomorrow in rubber game with extra day off. We'll see how that goes. And I hope Judge plays.
Gil being young, I think the extra day off will help, as long as he maintains control.
The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is destroying America and if they win the November elections it will mark the end of America as we know it. WAKE UP PEOPLE - WAKE UP
Judge not used to pinch-hit last night. Did doctors tell Yankees Judge should not be used? If so, for how long?

MAGA 2024 wake up America, Yes , wake up America. Wake up and VOTE. There is only one person to VOTE FOR. >>> DONALD J. TRUMP <<< Everyone else running is garbage of different types. To categorize the types of garbage they are, to make it simple, the people running against >>> DONALD J. TRUMP <<< are utter garbage.
Hope Judge and the Yankees as a team does whatever it takes and needs to be done to win today's game. Yes, the season has a long way to go. If the statement is not made today, it must be made whenever the Yankees face the Orioles in the future. Whatever it takes and needs to be done.
Gil struggling early. First inning double and rbi single down 1-0. Second inning single and 2 run HR, down 3-0. Walk, another single, another single, bases loaded 3 rbi double, down 6-0. Another walk, another single, bases loaded again, HBP rbi, down 7-0. Gil taken out of game, Tonkin in. I could see the O's scoring a hell of a lot of runs today, padding their stats. Wow, infield popup, strikeout, inning over. Down 7-0.
Gil has nothing, Orioles hitting everything hard. The game is early, but if the Yanks lose, I like losing a game like this, getting beat to a pulp. Because the Yanks will pay them back.
Gil goes 1 1/3 innings and is hammered. Gives up seven runs and out of the game.
Update on Jasson Dominguez injury. Jasson will miss about eight weeks with a significant left oblique strain. Good timing? If nothing else goes wrong, he will likely be called up to the Yankees for September and the playoffs. Gotta think positive people, leave the negativity, gloom, and dome to the losers and the stat fraud forums.
Yankees down 11-5 after five innings. Disappointed with Gil today, but I've seen the best pitchers in baseball for a lot of years have games just as bad. It happens.
Down 16-5 going to the 9th inning.
Final. Yankees lose 17-5, boy did they lose. Gil takes the loss giving up 7 runs in 1 1/3 innings. Yanks used 7 pitchers and Trevino in the 9th. All gave up runs but for Kahnle who pitched one scoreless innings, and the only inning the Orioles did not score in. Yankee runs, Torres solo HR. Judge 2 run HR and rbi single, Soto ground out rbi. That was it.
No let up for the Yankees as the Atlanta Braves come to the Stadium for a weekend three game series. Yankees will start Rodon, Stroman, and Cortes. Yanks need to get back on track.
Have to start winning series again. Start with this weekend.
Rodon hopefully had his bad game in his last start. Come up and have a good one today.

Torres out, groin issue. Rice at 1B against the left handed Sale. Need a series win.
Verdugo out also. Just a day off for him, and against Sale is a good time. He'll probably show up some time in the game.
Rodon fails again. Gives up single and two home runs to start game. Yankee trail 3-0 before seeing a pitch.
Yanks down 4-1 after 2.
Rodon with a perfect four innings. Gives up runs in all four innings, 8 of them, 11 hits, and 2 walks. Rodon got 11 outs while putting 13 men on base. You have to have one heck of a bad game to do that. Oh well, it is what it is, tomorrow is another day.
Final. Yankees lose 8-1. Rodon went 3 2/3 innings and was hammered every inning by almost every Braves batter. Gave up all 8 runs and 11 hits. Yankee bullpen, Gomez 4 2/3 innings and Bickford 2/3 inning allowed 0 runs and just 3 hits. Yankee offense non, just 3 hits. The Yankee run came on a Jones triple that was really a mis-played fly ball. Two games in a row Yankee starters both with 9 wins on the season, get obliterated.
Time for a refresher. When your playing your worst, you are not that bad.
What can go wrong is going wrong with the Yankees right now. The worm will turn.
Me thinks we are do for a well pitched game.
Lets go Yankees
The Yankees have lost series here and there but they had yet to have a really bad stretch this season, maybe it's in the middle of one. I guess that means things will eventually turn a corner but we could get some more ugly games until it does.

I have faith tonight in Stroman tonight.
Tomahawk the Braves. Get a win. Go Yanks.
Yanks up 3-1 after 3.
So far so good. Yanks lead 4-1 after five innings. Stroman another inning or two?
Stroman goes 6 2/3 strong innings giving up 3 runs and leaves leading 7-3.
Stroman pitches a win. Yankee lineup scores. Yankees win 8-3.
Final. Yankees win 8-3. Stroman 6 2/3 innings for the win and allowing all 3 Atlanta runs. Tonkin 1/3 inning 0 runs. Weaver and Bickford the 8th and 9th innings without any runs. Judge 2 run HR and GIDP for a run with no rbi, and a bases loaded walk for an rbi Torres rbi double. Cabrera 2 rbi double. Grisham solo HR. Series even, rubber game tomorrow.
Would be a plus to win this series. We have had some injuries, poorly pitched games, so do every team. Shake off the downs and create new ups.
Looks like Stanton may be sidelined for a while.
If Cortes pitches today anyway near like he did last time out, the Yankees will take this series.

0-0 after 2.
Four innings and Yankee bats are none existent.
Yanks score one in sixth, down three - one.
Yanks go down without a whimper, lose game 3-1, lose series.
Final. Yankee lose 3-1. Lose series. Cortes did his job, going seven innings giving up 3 runs. Kahne pitched a scoreless 8th and Holmes pitched a scoreless 9th. Lineup did not do their job, scoring just 1 run on a Volpe rbi double.
Yanks have lost three series in a row. Off day tomorrow. Then reset, play Mets twice and Blue Jays for four games all on the road. Take 5 of the 6 games and all will be fine.
Cole and Gil start the two game series with the Mets this week.
How bad have the Yankees been playing. Right around .500 ball or a bit over for three weeks now. For the Yankees who are a .600+ team that is bad. But then can be expected, because it balance the streak(s) of .700 ball. Not many teams play .700 ball for a season. Almost always in the current playoff system, playing .600 ball all but guarantees a playoff spot. The Yankees will make the playoffs, hopefully when going to the playoffs they will have a better team than they have now, and they are now a very good team. Therefore, I suggest the stat frauds peddle their garbage opinions, thoughts, and ideas, of gloom and doom to their compadres, because people here and people who know baseball, know better.
The Yankees travel across the river to play Mets twice.
On Thursday night Biden and Trump will have a debate. It will be held by CNN with Taper and Bash as moderators. Biden will be so heavily drugged we would put most drug addicts to shame. The moderators will be heavily in favor of Biden and will cover for him when he blunders. On the other hand Taper and Bash will try to take Trump down lie about his statements when he makes a fool of Biden. This is a general consensus of most voters across America.
Cole with his second start of the season tonight against Mets. Five innings, no runs, three hits one walk?
Tonight the Yankees will play their 81st game of the season. Halfway mark. Right now they are playing .650 baseball. In general, .600 baseball will get a team to the playoffs. The Yankees will make the playoffs. Now is the time for them to assess their needs by position, and then try to upgrade the positions they feel need to upgraded for the playoffs. ---- Not the positions the ignorant stat fraud fans think should be upgraded.
Warren, complaining about a debate before it happens, blaming others, calling elections you lose rigged, claiming your 82 old opponent is demented but also "on drugs" as a pre-excuse for losing a debate...on and on

Davis, the old new guy at 1B. Soto and Verdugo only lefty bats in lineup. Hope Cole gets in a good groove.
Steve(winstheonlystat), looking at tonight's lineup, it looks like you are right about the Yankees needing to upgrade at a couple of positions.
About time for a run of wins again. Score early with a couple of nice innings.
Top of first, Yanks load bases with no outs. Next three batters, K K K. Sad.
Cole looks as if he should have made three or four more starts in the minors and built up to 90 pitches. Getting hit pretty hard and has given up two home runs, and three runs with a runner thrown out at home in two innings. Yanks trail 3-0.
Yanks down 6-0 thru fourth as Cole continues to be hammered, giving up four home runs.
Yanks down 9-1 after 6.
Yankees try, but fall short, losing 9-7 as Cole pitches a putrid game.
Final. Yankees lose 9-4. Cole goes 4 terrible innings allowing 6 runs, 7 hits, and 4 walks taking the loss single handedly. A quartet of relievers allow 3 runs, 3 hits, and 0 walks. Yankee offense, Soto a solo HR, Wells a pinch hit rbi single, and Judge and rbi double and a grand slam HR. Judge has now started two games and has yet to show anything that would indicate he is ready to pitch at the MLB level. The question is why was he brought back before he was ready?
Yanks go down 9-7 as Cole buries them giving up six runs in four innings with four home runs.
I expected more from Cole. I got nothing. Gil tomorrow to split the series.
In my opinion I think Cole is tentative and holding back. I guess we will find out down the road a bit.
When you score 7 runs you shouldn't lose unless you get no pitching. The Yankees got no pitching last night. I think Cole rehabbing for only three games in the minors was the problem. MLB where the games matter most should not be used for rehab games.
President Trump said he would gladly take a drug test before and after the debate. I'm perfectly clean.
Biden said he would not under any circumstances. They give my so many drugs, who knows what they'll find.

Hope Gil does not pull another Cole tonight. Torres finally out.
Biden drug list. No wonder he can't take a drug test.
1. Be able to stand.
2. Be able to speak.
3. Be able to walk.
4. Limit slurring.
5. Limit drooling.
6. Keep awake.
7. Generally function.
8. Take drugs in any combination as needed.
9. Repeat lies, repeat lies, repeat lies.
Just my opinion. I would have Cabrera hitting cleanup tonight and LeMahieu in front of Verdugo. Puts a contact switch hitter behind Judge. Maybe even Rice at leadoff and Volpe in the five hole. It all means nothing, just something to play with and think about.
If Yanks lose tonight it will make four straight series they will have lost.
0-0 after 2.
Rain delay. Yanks down 4-0 with Mets batting in fifth. Looks bad.
Rain over. Yankees losing again. Trail 7-0 after 5.
No mercy. Mets batting in 7th, now with an 11-2 lead. It looks like the Yankees will lose their fourth consecutive series.
Final. Yankees lose 12-2. Gil takes the loss going 4 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs, 4 hits, and 4 walks. Yankee offense, Judge 2 run home run. Lose series. Never in it again. Playing as bad as a team can play. On to Toronto for a four game series.
Yankees in Toronto tonight for four game series. Time to start playing winning baseball again. This losing streak is not good. Yankees start Rodon, Stroman, Cortes, and Cole. What we get, from the starters, who knows based on recent starts from all four.
Just waiting for the worm to turn. Some worms are slower than others.

Six lefty bats. More speed in the lineup than usual. The starting rotation needs to produce.
What I have seen of Davis, and it has not been much, he looks like a low contact strikeout waiting to happen hitter. HOWEVER, I will wait a few more weeks before I make a more informed decision.
Rodon five batters faced allows five runs.
Yanks down 8-0 after 2.
Rodon stays in through five innings giving his all to save the bullpen. Kudos to his character and determination. Hope his teammates took note. Leaves down 8-2.
9-3 loss, just 3 hits, 1 a two run HR.
Final. Yankees lose 9-3. Rodon gave up 8 runs in first two innings. Bullpen gives up 1 in three innings. Yankee runs on Grisham 2 run home run. The Yankees, right now, are playing some of the most horrible baseball you would ever want to see.
Trump trounces Biden in debate.
I wish the Yankees would trounce someone.
The world saw why America is being destroyed during the debate last night. Biden, a doddering old fool, Biden a contemptable liar, Biden a slobbering stuttering dead man walking.
Can you imagine him in front of world leaders negotiating anything. No wonder America is in such bad shape. Bring back President Trump, America's greatest President, NOW!
Instead of the Yankees batting Volpe Soto and Judge 1,2,3, how about separating them.

In regard to Biden, yes, he is old and demented. Replacing him is easy, any useless garbage liberal, progressive, democrat can do that. Then you will have a younger more forceful candidate who can articulate their policies. The PROBLEM, the policies will be the same as they are now, and the policies are destroying America and you. NEVER ever vote for any progressive, liberal, democrat. They are criminals, corrupt, liars, thieves, crooks and cheats who want to destroy America and you. And they will if they are elected.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN > > > > > VOTE DONALD J TRUMP > > > PRESIDENT
jimbo, I thought about that the other day. Separating the best hitters is a good idea in my opinion, and I agree with you. I even like your order. This is a strong and logical plan to get more pop distributed throughout the lineup.
Biden in Raleigh NC right now given a speech at a rally. Audience is about 500, almost all school children. Everything Biden is saying is an out and out lie. He is a disgrace and should be put out of his misery. Sick and demented, criminal and corrupt, dead man walking.

Same old same old, different result? Top 1,2,3. I read the great comments abouts breaking up the top 1,2,3, and think it is a good idea. Time to try something different?
I don't know how many more of these Yankee losses I can watch. The games haven't even been competitive.
Three innings in the books. Yanks 9 up 9 down. Trail 1-0.
1-1 after 4.
Finally. Yanks with a six run inning in the 6th for a 7-3 lead.
Soto 3 run HR and Torres a 2 run HR as Yanks score six times in sixth inning. Lead 7-3.
Final. Yankees win 16-5. Stroman went 4 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs, worked his heart out and kept Yankees in game. The Yankees had a 6 run sixth inning and took a lead they never relinquished. Soto 3 run HR and Torres 2 run HR were the big hits. Every Yankee got a hit and contributed to the rout, which was was over do. Series tied at one game each, with two more games to be played.
Now the question. Can the Yankees do it again tomorrow?
Now for a Yankee winning streak.
Yankees win today, they can't lose this series.
