Box score is an ugly one for the Yanks. Only positive is Efross and Marinaccio got some work (tempered by the fact they were awful, of course). Frustrating last few series, but as mentioned above, no one is running away from us.

The orioles were 37-19 on June 1 Yankees 41-19 Guardians 39-19 Royals 35-25 Seattle 33-27 Astros 26-33 Since Orioles 41-40 Yankees 38-38 Guardians 39-40 Royals 40-37 Seattle 36-40 Astros 48-29 Astros seem to be the only team that has had a good last 3 months. So I don't get statements like this when the other teams are being just as mediocre. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So, what’s the point? It’s cool for the Yankees to keep losing because other teams aren’t playing well? You have to assess their playoff chances by how they and other teams are performing as a whole. I don't see any team the Yankees can't beat right now. In 2018 the Red Sox were an elite team In 2019 the Astros were an elite team In 2020 the Yankees always had issues with rays not surprising they lost to them. 21 the team was prob good enough but stupid Boone stupidity 22 Astros were elite team. 23 the Yankees weren't even close to being good. This year there's no elite team. Theres no team in the AL that looks like a roadblock. A lot of their losses this year have been because of stupid lineups where either wells is benched, jones was playing, dj given a million chances etc. In the playoffs none of those dumb lineups will be there.

Tough day for Judge. 0-4 with a walk and 3 K's. Prob not a coincidence Soto and Judge had a bad last 2 series and in return the Yankees were 2-4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Tough day for Judge. 0-4 with a walk and 3 K's. Glad I’m in Galveston today and missed being part of this game thread. Too much negativity for me. Might as well invite Posadafan back. If this continues, may need to cull a couple more newcomers, Kaybli. Misery may love company but not here. Describing poor play is one thing, predicting poor play for the future gets old fast. Ye who abandon all hope may walk that path alone. Let’s start with the ignore button and hope things improve. |

Yikes!!what happened???? I left my house with Yankees leading 7-2 only to return to check the final score as Yankees got hammered! Pitching imploded...
I was eager to watch the remaining innings via dvr. Well that's not going to happen.

A little bit of selective endpoints there, anthony. You're not including the last 12 games of the hot streak, where they 9-3. You're including that in the 2nd stretch, making their play look better. On the other hand me focusing on starting from 50-22 is also a selected endpoint, so I guess we're even. You said mid June I figure just do the whole month. Yankees still lead the Al in run differential by almost 30 (obv will go down a bit after today), HR, RBI, Runs, walks, obp ops, and are second in slugging. Can we stop acting like this team is bad every day and has no shot at winning anything? Can we also stop acting like the other teams are being dominant when they are not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I haven't been saying that other good teams are dominant. In fact, I cited you in the defense update thread, saying that you were right that the other good teams in the AL have been floundering, too. Run differential is a good measuring stick as well. Yankee run differential the last 2 1/2-3 months: Since June 1st, (your endpoint) 411 runs scored, 391 allowed (including today), +20 runs. Since June 15th (my endpoint) 329 runs scored, 342 allowed (including today), -13 runs. So that shows they've been, at best, a mediocre team. I could do the same for the other contenders in the AL, but I'll concede in advance your point that they probably aren't much, if any, better. It's not that this is a bad team that never plays good games, or even has good series or good weeks. It's that consistently for 2 1/2 months now they've been average or slightly below, even against mediocre or even bad teams. Virtually the only thing working against that idea was the good week when they took 2 of 3 in Fenway, and swept the Phils on the road. That's about it for consisten quality play. Again, I'll concede your point that none of the other top teams, except the Astros, is playing good baseball lately. But somebody's gonna get hot and the longer this bad play by the Yankees goes on, the less likely it is that they'll be a hot team for the playoffs. It doesn't always work that way, but it usually does. |

Frustrating last few series, but as mentioned above, no one is running away from us. But with the O's facing the White Sox for the next 3 games, that may change soon enough. That really isn't that much of a shift it's only a 3 game series. Let's say orioles swept and Yankees got swept that puts the Yankees at 79-61 and orioles at 82-59 2.5 back. That's the literal worst case scenario. If Yankees win 1 of 3 they can't be more than 1.5 back, if they win 2 of 3 they can't be more than .5 back. Again that's if the orioles sweep maybe the white Sox pull one off who knows one of the games is a battle of near 7 eras. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Most of the negativity comes from a few clueless ex-YES board posters who had their own private "Chat" sandbox to piss & moan in...separate from the game threads. Unfortunately there's no such thing here, so they've used the game threads here to do so. Too bad...miss the good, knowledgeable ex-YES posters who actually had something to contribute. |

It doesn't always work that way, but it usually does. Ok I appreciate this fair and thought out post. I still think it likely comes down those last two series for the division. I agree someone needs to get hot eventually I can't believe there's all these teams this mediocre for this long. One silver lining is the Yankees seem to perform vs good teams.

The Rangers rotation for the series ahead isn't entirely settled,. Once source I have says, Jack Leiter, Heaney and Eovaldi for the Rangers, the other says Heaney, Eovaldi and Jon Gray. Maybe the Rangers are trying to coax Kenny Rogers and Cliff Lee out of retirement, given the Yanks demonstrable difficulties vs. lefty statarters.
All 3 games are at 8:05 from Arlington; the first two are on YES, the 3rd is the usual weekly Prime Video game of the week on Wednssday.
The records of the 4 possible Rangers starters: Jack Leiter is 0-1 with a 12.82 ERA in 4 starts; Heaney is 4-13 with a 3.95 ERA; he's pitched to back good games, but against the sinking Pirates and the sunken White Sox, so caveat emptor. Eovaldi is 19-7 with a 3.60 ERA, but some of that is 7 shutout innings against the same White Sox in his last start. Jon Gray is 5-6 with a 4.47 ERA.
Of the 4 Ranger starters, only Heaney is a lefty.
The Yankee rotation is set, apparently:
Game 1 is Cole, 5-3 with a 3.86 ERA. He struck out 7 last start, but the HR ball bit him again, 2 of them by the Nats.
Game 2 is Rodon, 14-9 with a 4.31 ERA. The Nats racked him up in the heat in DC. For those who are curious, the temp in Arlington that night is forecast for the upper 70's, but very humid with a 30% chance of t'storms.
Game 3 is Stroman, 10-6 with a 3.81 ERA, coming off 7 solid innings against the for his 3rd straight win.
OK, going check late notifications now that a I've done the series preview. Well, sort of.

It's so weird how sometimes the Yankees just look so dominant and in control but other times they look terrible. First game in this and the Washington series looking great then in both series the next two games just turned into disasters.
