If the Marlins win (and sweep), they'll be the only MLB team with a franchise record of .500 or better against the Yankees. Don't let that happen!

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

EVERY move Boone made today was WRONG. Both the pitching moves and the hitting moves!!
the team was down by 2 after losing 2 in a row, with ZERO room to be throwing games away!!! EVERY pitcher in the pen except Bird was easily available!!!
there is no excuse for Headrick to be the guy brought in to a 2 run game!!! NONE
when they bring in a lefty, probably the best move is pinch hit ALL the RH bats and Goldy should probably be the first bat off the bench. for one he is EASILY the best defender in the scenario that he stays in the game!!
but if it is going to be picking and choosing then Jdom…
Chat at y'all tomorrow night.
IF he was not going to pinch hit ALL the righty batters vs the LHP then it was a mistake to bat for Jdom instead of McMahon. no way to deny that
when you are down by 3, offense is a bigger priority than defense and Jdom is clearly the better hitter
so Boone will pinch hit for both rookies, Jdom and Rice, but he will not pinch hit for McMahon and Wells
Jdom has been hitting near .300 vs LHP for over 2 months now
Rice has decent numbers vs LHP and excellent power numbers
also Goldy is batting JUST under .400 vs LHP
why was Slater the first pinch hitter instead of Goldy?
IF Miami goes back to a RHP later we have now lost Jdom and Rice who are FAR better hitters overall compared to McMahon and Wells
every move Boone makes proves he does not know how to use the roster to get optimal value!!!
once again Henriquez is in the game. this guy was one of my top priorities for the deadline
question, after seeing Cabrera today any thoughts about trading Jones for a young pitcher like this under control thru 2028?
looking at them today are you ready to bet that Gil is a better playoff starter than Cabrera?
supposedly Cabrera was one of our big targets, but Miami was insisting on Jones.
