Lucky to escape the third with only 2 runs given up but that should be more than enough for Crochet. Isn’t it wonderful to watch other teams get 2 out doubles in clutch situations while we watch the Yankees fail in similar situations.

Took Warren 1 pitch to give the run back. Just end this cluster eff of a season already. And of course the 4 runs in the first 4 innings weren’t enough to take him out but this leadoff home run by story ends his afternoon.

These have not been enjoyable games to watch.

You most certainly can blame Boone for this. It all starts and ends with LEADERSHIP!!!

You are seeing a reflection of leadership in this team.

Good lord, imagine your hated rivals coming to town and you play like this. I know Boone doesn’t hit or throw the ball, but if his voice isn’t being heard in the clubhouse anymore, something’s gotta change.

Boone has this team so laid back that nobody seems capable of providing a spark. It doesn’t help when the team captain is also laid back and disappears during big games and big series.

Agreed it’s time. Making the playoffs is fine but we all know the only reason they made the World Series last year was because of the easy draw. It’s time to clean house of Boone and his failed coaching and analytics teams and time to get rid of the Volpe’s of the team who are not winners.

Looks like Judge is doing his post season performance early as well as G. Stanton. Stanton over his last 31 games is taking over.

Yep Judge just shrinks when they truly need him. I said in one of my posts yesterday that the Red Sox have the better lineup and pitching staff and the Yankees going 1-8 against them this year does nothing to disprove that. What’s frustrating is that George Steinbrenner’s son has no interest in whether they win or not It’s time to make wholesale changes but there’s nobody in the Yankees fold that has a clue. What we are witnessing is the start of another at least 5 years of suckiness and until this current team is torn apart it will not get any better.

Sorry Jazz is another player that has to go. Adds nothing and I feel he is a conflict waiting to happen.

He definitely needs to go. At this point it’s only 3-5 players that would be worth keeping

Yep, Cashman probably never watched him actually play, just looked at his analytic numbers,

At this point I'm close to hoping he doesn't win the MVP because he sure as sh*t doesn't deserve it.

Definitely not from playoff failures to not showing up for key series it’s time to cut bait with this paper tiger.

Watching Judge get balls called as strikes against him all the time is infuriating. I always felt like he was usually screwed over with a lot of bad calls, but then I saw a Made the Cut video that shows Judge has had more than 600 balls called as strikes against him since he debuted in 2017...far more than anyone else during that time frame.

ABS, please!

Stanton hits that ball so hard when he barrels it up. Scary stuff right there.

Didn’t watch it for that reason was checking the score on my phone and glad they won but didn’t want the frustration this team brought on the first 3 games of this series. Looks like Judge was of no help again.

There will be a lot of fans in that club. The only reason Wells isn't getting more hate is thanks to Volpe being around.

Yeah watching him day in and day out now, I'm ready to jump ship and say give the MVP to Raleigh.

And the squirrel got a Topps Now card rather than anything a Yankee player did.

And no, I didn't buy that one.

Yes ABS will greatly help Judge and everyone else. Judge used to get screwed by low balls being called strikes early in his career but it seemed to have gone away the last year or so. This year, he's back to getting screwed by umpires more.
