I dislike Smoltz, but he was right. Volpe's approach that at bat was completely wrong. Had to keep the front hip in, step into the slider away and try to slap it to right. No doubt his mechanics are back to his slumping ways; however, pitch recognition is another thing. I am a firm believer in making a pitcher throw a strike with the bases loaded. Just about every pitch to him finished off the plate. That certainly would've helped. Too much "hero ball" in that at bat. |

Had to keep the front hip in, step into the slider away and try to slap it to right. treinen's sweeper is ridiculous but a god awful AB from volpe. wtf is he doing trying to pull that pitch. just needed to put the ball in play. only one of those 6 pitches were strikes. coulda walked.
forgot that berti wasn't on the roster. not a bad AB by trevino. he did have a pitch to drive. just got under it. would have liked to see go to right but that pitch was inner half.
No idea what he's thinking bumper, except trying too hard to be the hero and getting away from works in that situation, what works against that kind of pitcher, and more than anything else, what works for him; what he does right when he's going right. I hope he'll grow out of that someday. |

Ok, that's going to do it for me for tonight.
Enjoy the off-day and I'll see you back here for game 3.
Good night to all.
Bye.

The Yankees were one out from a win last night, and one hit from tying this game or going ahead in the ninth. Do you ever tire of being negative? Your act here is beginning to get old fast. How about some positivity for a change? I'll act positive (fake) when the Yankees give me something positive to talk about. How about some reality for a change?  Reality? What have I said that has not been realistic? Also, reality is not an attitude. In any endeavor, you can choose your attitude, which is either a positive or negative outlook for the future. The original members of this forum function as a team, picking up each other through twenty years of life and death, good times and bad times, and multiple platforms. We have become friends, and encourage each other when one of us runs into real life problems. The last thing we want on this forum that we share is negativity for its own sake. By all means, complain when something goes wrong, but why do so in advance, when the fat lady has yet to sing? There are thousands of social media and baseball platforms where nothing happens but name-calling, trolling, hostility, one-ups-man-ship, and mendacity. Lamenting losing is one thing; constantly wishing and predicting negative outcomes that have not yet come to pass is just having a loser mentality. |

Unfortunately, bad at bats seem to be endemic to a not insignificant portion oof his roster. Too many low baseball-IQ at bats. Question is, is it so ingrained in these guys that there's no shaking it, or i s there a lack of coaching/instruction going on? I know coaching isn't as important in baseball as it is in a sport like football or basketball because baseball is largely a 1v1 sport, but it isn't a non factor. I can't come close to counting how many times this season I've just shook my head and something plum dumb these guys have done with the bat in their hands, in the field, or on the base paths. They make mistakes that coaches try to break kids of in little league or high school ball. Over and over again. In my opinion, yes, there is a lack of coaching. Otherwise, the same mistakes would not continue to be made year after year. You can teach Little League and high school teams to play clean baseball. Certainly, the best players in the world are capable of doing the same. If, and I say that reservedly, if a manager wishes to focus on the little things. |

I would have obviously loved them to win one of these games but came up short both times and went away from what worked in the two previous series. The realistic take here is both games could have been won in the 9th and it didn't happen but they need to not let these starters go so deep in games. Their strengths this post season has been getting starters out early and they didn't do that in either game. These games have never looked hopeless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Judge is and will always be a good dude. He always takes the high road. We would not have sniffed the playoffs without him, and to be the best that this team can be, we need some contribution offensively or at least one per game in a big spot. At present, while an OPS of 1.159 would be wonderful, even an OPS of .750 would have made a huge difference in these two ball games. |

Yea even if Rizzo is sapped of power right now he's still putting up professional abs and defense has been good. |
