Tommy should be the closer for the rest of the season. He at least is not scared of the task. Yankees vs Orioles Game 5 or 7 (depending on round) Holmes and Kimbrel take turns blowing the game before one of the teams wins on a bases loaded walk to advance to the next round. |

11 friggin blown saves. Yet, Boone will do nothing. I don't care if Boone gets sent to the spacestation and forgotten, but it is not like he has a lot of good choices in that bullpen. You're right, paterson, there's no clear other option, but they have to try someone else. They have to. |

Opinions vary, but that was building from the moment he hung the sinker to a crappe hitter like Kelly. The last pitch is the least unbelievable thing. The whole inning was pointing to another collapse after Kelly's hit. They'll easily make the playoffs but how can you win in October when your team defense and bullpen is this bad? This collapse started in the 8th with the two gift runs the Yankee infield gave the Rangers and Holmes finished it off. |

You just can't stand there blowing bubbles when the wheels are falling off the bus.

You can kiss the division goodbye folks. This is just too disturbing a trend of losing to inferior teams when the Yankees should be fattening up instead. Holmes is just garbage and should never see the mound in a closing situation. Demote him to 8th inning duties and make Kahnle the closer.

Game 3 is tomorrow at 8:05 pm on Prime Video, unfortunately.
Marcus Stroman, 10-7, 3.81 ERA goes for the Yanks; he's throw 4 solid games in a row. Nathan Eovaldi, 10-7, 3.60 ERA starts for Texas. He's thrown 3 excellent games in a row, though the best one was against the White Sox.
OK, preview done, I'll check notifications.

Bye.

Right behind the numbers of the 11 blown saves a couple of them bad defense also played a factor. |

AND don't forget Holmes was a 2024 All-Star.

Boone in the postgame wouldn't answer the pulling Clay from closer question "while emotions were raw" but wouldn't commit to keeping him in the role like he always has before.
