...BOOM!
Slider on the low, outside corner, belted to left, lands fair, goes to the corner, a 2 run double makes it 7-2, Rangers.

Boone: STOP TRYING TO MAKE LEITER HAPPEN. HE'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

Infield in to "protect" the 5-run deficit.
Jung misses a slider on the inside corner, 0-1
Splitter inside corner, bounced foul off 3rd.
Splitter bounced, gets away from Trevino, Lowe scores, Garcia to 3rd, 8-2, Rangers.
Bounces a splitter inside, 2-2
Bounces a splitter on the corner away, 3-2. This is just nuts. I didn't expect the moon with Leiter, but I thought he'd at least be competent...
Splitter finishes a couple of inside low, inside corner, swung over for the K, 2 down.

Don't worry, guys. The O's, Guardians, Royals, Astros, Sux, Twins, and M's all stink too! We got this.

Heim takes a sinker low, 1-0
Swings over a curve dropping low, 1-1
Splitter dives just low, fouled, 1-2
Splitter a bit further outside, just as low, fouled, a bloop over 3rd, but not playable.
Curve on the corner away, rolled over to Rizzo, takes it to the bag, inning over.
Top 7, 8-2 Rangers.
7-8-9 for the Yanks: Volpe, Trevino and Verdugo.
I forgot another one Kay said earlier: he said the Yanks have been a .500 team for a long time, which I guess is technically true, if you're counting the last 5-6 weeks or the last 3 months. But it's more accurate to say they're a below average team, when this one becomes final, they'll be 30-38 over their last 68 games.

Serious question - this is the worst Yankees bullpen since?
I remember the 2007/08 bullpens being pretty dreadful overall, but at least you had Mo on the back end. Might have to go back to the early-nineties?

Eovaldi still in there.
Volpe falls behind quickly 0-2, makes him throw a few more, 1-2.
Then gets a FB down and in, and grounds out to short, 1 down.

Verdugo gets a FB down the middle, hit a long fly down the line in left, slices foul.
Cutter inside corner, pulled through the right side for a single. Yay.
