Even though I don't have Amazon, tonight's game can't be as unwatchable as last night's.

Flips (Dominguez for Stanton, Wells for Goldschmidt) and flops (Fried and Volpe).

Yankees need the real Aaron Judge.

Yes he's Aaron Judge and therefore he should start. But on the other hand Stanton is the better hitter right now.

Talk about a weak left side -- look at Volpe's & McMahon's batting!

A completely gutless, choke-filled performance. This is the real 2025 Yankees.

I don't care how many sub-.500 teams they dominate. They are losers against any and all good teams. Maybe, maybe if they miss the playoffs, Steinbumbler will clean house.

Thank you for the kind words.

I'd send Welles down, too. Both need to work on their hitting in a no-pressure environment.

We need Chapman to pitch like he did for the Yanks (in his last season with them)

What are the odds Volpe has a competitive at-bat in the 8th?

None.

Seriously. Enough. He is destroyed. Send him down. Get him out of here for real.

7 innings, 3 H, 1 BB, 0-0 RISP because 0 RISP. Where is the top AL offense?

Swinging like it's batting practice

"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."
