When that happened I thought the Yankees had a chance. This game was sloppy and an indictment that both of these teams won’t win the World Series. Boston left a boat load of men on base the score should’ve been more in the 10 to 12 run range. The Yankees still have a problem getting men in from third with only one out which will be costly in the playoffs when runs are at a premium.

I don’t miss Gleyber as they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I wouldn’t miss Jazz if he were to be gone either. I know Lombard isn’t quite ready yet but a thought in my mind is to trade Jazz move Volpe over to second and put Lombard at short.

Par for the course. They can't beat AL East teams.

Other than Tampa that is.

Rookie Roman Anthony homers, drives in 3 in Yankee Stadium debut as Red Sox outlast Yanks 6-3

The game was not as close as the score would indicate. It seems the Red Sox had at least 2 men on in almost every inning and they couldn’t get the run scoring hits they needed. The Yankees dodged a lot of bullets but every reliever Boone brought in was off. Doval is another pickup I never want to see pitch for the Yankees again. De Los Santos might have escaped the 9th without Anthony’s homer if Goldschmidt doesn’t make an error as the inning would’ve been over. Weaver is the one that worries me. Gave up a solo homer in Tampa the night before and it was 3-3 when he came in and within 2 batters a hard hit single and an even harder hit double it was 4-3. He never settled down and was lucky the Red Sox left the bases loaded. It just seems you can’t blame it on Boone when every reliever he brings in craps the bed.

Attaboy spuds!! About time we blame the guy that threw the pitch or struck out. Outside the nfl, coaches are overrated. On top of that, most situational moves are done using a “collaborative effort” using guys from Harvard MIT and then Boone gets to walk out to the mound on TV.

Hence the reason I've stated before they all need to be fired too.

Every team seems to use analytics but the Yankees just aren’t that good at it. I enjoyed baseball a lot more before analytics got involved. I enjoyed the gut feel of the move rather than reading that John Doe hits 227 on a Thursday night against right handed pitchers with blonde hair but if they bring in the brunette his average goes to .237. Always thought analytics was a way to get the geeks who never threw a ball or held a bat involved.

I do miss the game where managers actually made decisions based on what was happening on the field. Now they have to go through sheets of computer print outs provided by someone who never played the game.

I hear you loud and clear but those days unfortunately are never coming back. I don’t begrudge progress but not everything is better because of it.

I don’t know if their analytical department is good or bad but they’re probably gonna be at 90+ wins again this year with a team that’s just not very good.

Money spent on good players hides a lot of misgivings. I will go deeper could half of the other teams afforded to bring in Fried when Cole went down, sign Bellinger and Goldschmidt when Soto went to the Mets. To be honest if you go player for player the Red Sox actually have a better team on paper so I guess you’re right in a way that it’s a wonder how they keep winning 90 plus games every year. Just imagine if the whole team stayed healthy.

Only thing was the guy that was due up against Weaver had owned him in the past. so Boone didn't use that information when bringing in a new pitcher

Boone was fed information from the analytics team that the hitter was due to make an out against Weaver. It’s all a crap shoot anyway as look what happened with Stanton pinch hitting on Wednesday against Fairbanks. Before that 2 run homer he was 0 for 5 with 4 strikeouts against Fairbanks so there really is no way of knowing.

[spuds1961]

Fried gave them a quality start but here comes the Yankees bullpen can they put it together for tonight anyways.

[spuds1961]

Only took the second batter to have a runner in scoring position.

[spuds1961]

Way to go offense 3 singles and not a runner in scoring position.

[spuds1961]

Who wants to join my We hate Volpe fan club. So sick of his constant funks where he does nothing. Current one is 1 for his last 25.

[marl1220]

I know this is more than a one person team, but Judge needs to get his crap together soon. He is not playing like an MVP, and he hasn't been for some time. Hopefully he figures out whatever his issue is soon.

[hxcmilkshake]

They are probably worse fundamentally than last year. What was Wells doing on that line out? Insane.

I hate to think as he goes so go the Yankees but it’s starting to feel that way. Yes they could win without his contributions but I also think he gets smaller the more important the game is. His stats look great but I also don’t think he is playing mvp caliber baseball.

And it’s not the first time Wells has made this mistake. Another stupid play came in the 9th by Volpe it didn’t cost them any runs thanks to Bednar but it should have. Duran on second single and stolen base no outs grounded to Volpe instead of looking Duran back and throwing to first he throws to Jazz Duran gets back safely and Jazz’s throw to first was too late. They seem to give away a lot of outs offensively and defensively in quite a few games. That stems from coaching and preparation and players who have been playing this game their whole lives just not being smart.

[spuds1961]

What’s sad is a lost squirrel who wandered onto the field had more energy than anybody on the Yankees last night. Can’t blame Boone for the players sucking but you can blame him for his laid back way of managing.

[ottobord]

It's all on Boone at this point. First game of an important series and the team makes 4 errors! Pathetic. Predictable. Boone does nothing. Also predictable. Boone has got to go.

[spuds1961]

Warren can pitch his best game but unless the sleepy bats wake up it’s not going to matter. Crochet struck out Goldschmidt, Judge and Stanton in the first mixed in with a Bellinger grounder that got him on first but it should’ve been an error.
