I don’t think even he could’ve saved this one Boone made so many stupid moves.

Volpe led off the 8th with a homer but that was it. 10-10 going into the bottom of the 8th and Boone left Bednar in. He really doesn’t know how to manage the bullpen and now he has 3 new guys to screw around with.

Rodon pulled a Will Warren. And he hasn't been good in like 2 months outside of the Cub game when he had a big lead.

Yea, I'm ready to clean house if this doesn't work. Feels like the same thing every year.

[NickyCards]

No words. I’ve been ready for Boone to be gone for a few years now.

I mean what should he have done?? There's not 1 reliable guy out there. Not one.

Meanwhile Carlos Carrasco went 6IP in a QS today. I give up.

oh how the mood from the trade deadline has changed...

[spuds1961]

Mark down this date and loss as it is the one that could cost them a playoff spot.

13-12 Loss on 08/01/2025.

Rodon staked to 6-0 lead going into the 5th him and Loaisiga proceed to give up 4 runs 6-4 after 5.

Grisham hits a 3 run homer 9-4 lead and I thought everything was okay.

7th inning the first of our shiny newl acquisitions Jake Bird proceeds to load the bases with only one out instead of Boone changing pitchers here he sends out the curse known as Matt Blake to talk to Bird. A few pitches later grand slam 9-8. Now Boone takes him out tor shiny new acquisition number 2.

Bednar comes in and gives up the tying home run but wait there’s more that wasn’t good enough for him a couple more hits and the Yankees are liosing 10-9 Bednar finally gets the last out.

Volpe of all people ties it with a leadoff home run to start the top of the 8th but that was it.10-10 marlins 8th was scoreless.

Top of the 9th Stanton grounds out and Jazz strikes out, here is a move that would help and hurt them later on Rice pinch hits for Goldschmidt and singles to right here is another move that would help but hurt later on Caballero pinch runs for Rice and steals second McMahon singles to center and Cavallero scores 11-10 Yankees Volpe hits a double to center and McMahon scores .12-10 Yankees Wells flies out inning over 12-10 Marlins 9th coming up.

Remember the pinch hitting and pinch running moves this is where it screwed up the defensive positioning instead of leaving Bellinger in right and putting Caballero at first because he has more experience in the infield for some reason they put him in right and Bellinger at first. But wait Boone has one more shiny new trinket to play with he brings in Camilo Duval for the 9th.

First batter grounds out to McMahon so I am thinking everything is fine. Next batter singles not really thinking it was bad yet. Next batter walks on a 3-2 pitch and now it’s 1st and second 1 out. I am thinking a 3 run walkoff was coming at this point but no something far worse.,Duval got 2 strikes the hitter but he singles to right I am thinking it will be 12-11 but remember Caballero was put in right field well the ball gets by him and it is tied at 12 with the batter getting to third. The Yankees go with a 5 infielder plan but after Duval got 2 strikes on the batter he hits a dribbler in front of home plate and Wells couldn’t get it and tag the runner in time. The horror show is over the Yankees lose 13-12.

Don’t stick up for Boone I know he wanted to get the acquisitions in but leaving Bird in after he loaded the bases mistake number one, Bednar might’ve saved it if brought in before the grand slam but we will never know After Bednar gave up the home run and the go ahead run I was surprised he let him pitch the 8th. The other mistake Boone made was putting Caballero in right and Bellinger at first Caballero is more comfortable in the infield. Bringing in Duval after the other 2 new guys crapped the bed was just tempting fate.‘I wanted either Tim Hill or believe it or not Williams as he was well rested and Boone said he was still the closer.,! But no matter what they were destined to lose this game.

Exactly except where I watch the games is where I sleep so I didn’t have to go anywhere. I normally can make sense of some of Boone’s moves but Loaisiga has been pretty bad since coming back from his injury and I tigured Boone could’ve let one of the new guys pitch there as Loaisiga pitched the 9th the day before.

Doval is enjoy

The Yankees' season has been over for quite some time. At this point it's just embarrassing to even consider watching these games. Better luck next year.

[GabrielCards]

LOL all this "Boone has to go" talk. Is it his fault that every closer that ever pitches for the Yankees is mostly horrible no matter how flawless he was in the past? That if these relief pitchers just pitched that way they would be expected to based on past perormance the Yankees would easily have a top 3 record in MLB? What is it - the Bermuda triangle curse?

He is. I watched the Giants in 2024 and cringed every time he took the mound.

It’s not the usage it’s when he uses them that is the problem.

So it wasn’t as good of an acquisition as most people were saying.

[ottobord]

Who would have thought that players coming from the Pirates and Rockies stunk it up?

Not good in my book. It’s not like the Yankees have some great pitcher development team either, so these guys aren’t going to improve. Most pitchers get better and stay healthier after leaving the Yankees.

So "when" shall he use them? Only on Sundays? Bird came on in the 7th. 4 runs in a third of an inning. Then Bednar added to the fire - 2 more runs. So what - they can all only pitch the 9th? Oh wait - that's Williams job except he has an ERA of 5. It's not the "when" or the "useage". It's players not performing.

[SethMurphy]

Didn't you know that Doval's worst month of his career is July, so obviously we shouldn't use him then. And honestly, August isn't one of his 3 best either.. so wait until September when his ERA is 2.50 in his career. Hitters also have the lowest BA against when his team has more than a 4-run lead, so we should probably save him for those situations. But also the 6th and 9th innings are his worst innings for BAA too, so probably only in the 7th or 8th when leading by at least 5 runs, and he will be amazing.


A lot of it is Boone, and I do hate him and want him fired. But also, these guys were throwing meatballs last night. A lot of middle-middle, and they were just bad. Defense didn't help as usual either.

The team is just a mess right now

No it is the usage. Not seeing when a pitcher doesn’t have it after 4 batters is common sense, bringing Loaisiga in after he pitched the 9th the day before and has been struggling. Bednar yes he was used when he should’ve been but having watched Boone handle a bullpen he does deserve most of the blame. Tell me bringing in Cortes in relief in the World Series last year was a genius move. Tell me when Holmes was slumping but Boone continued to let him blow games same with Williams at the start of the season. It’s not a coincidence that all these relievers start to suck when being managed and coached by Boone and Blake.

[ottobord]

Hopefully Yankees can play with some heart today in memory of Thurman. Get this garbage game past us.

No you guys are reading usage all wrong when you see a pitcher doesn’t have it you get him out of there to limit the damage. After Bird loaded the bases facing 4 batters he should’ve brought in Bednar then. I could’ve dealt with it better if he were pulled before the grand slam and Bednar still blew it. Loaisiga being brought in after pitching the 9th on Thursday I also thought was bad usage that was the time to bring in one of the new guys. I am surprised the offense kept fighting back for the Yankees so that was a good sign but eventually their bullpen has to start pitching better it shouldn’t always be hold your breath time no matter who they bring in.

If ever they needed a bounce back game today is the day. I can usually say it was only one game but if they don’t win today last night’s loss could have bigger repercussions.

But that's the point - these relief pitchers "have it" with other teams. So how about Williams? He came into this season with a career ERA of around 1.80! 237 career innings before this year he was practically unhittable. He's a closer - always pitches the 9th inning. Nothing to think about. This year he has an ERA of 5 and blows games right an left. Expain that BS then. Thanks.
