Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Clean defense and we’re up 3-2. A couple timely hits, and we’re up 3-2. Situational baseball or “mental timing” if you will is a skill that can be coached. Yep, 6 of the 25 runs we allowed were unearned and that's not even counting the mistakes like not getting an out on the Betts groundball. What's frustrating is the costly errors were made on plays that for the most part should have been routine. |

Verdugo wants to come back. Verdugo was more consistent than he says. He wasn't good. I thought he'd be a useful addition when Cashman picked him up. Seeing him play, it looked like he spent off time eating donuts. Slow of foot and bat. Maybe he had more talent than he showed. He did not show much. He might have a bounce year playing in Pittsburgh or Oakland. Sometimes a player needs that. |

Situational baseball or “mental timing” if you will is a skill that can be coached. 100% rizz. not taking anything away from the dodgers but we "lost" this series. they did what good teams should do and take advantage of the opportunities. and we gave them plenty.
what went on in the 5th was right out of the bad news bears. might have been the worst defensive inning i've ever seen from an mlb team. and of course never in such a big spot. similar in game 1 w the 2 misplays.
in both games we had the lead twice and couldn't protect it. then throw in the base running blunders and the bad ABs w risp - you have a recipe for defeat . it all comes down to most basic of fundamentals, where we get a major FAIL. the dodgers did all those things.
have to think a lot of that is on boone and the coaching. |

He might have a bounce year playing in Pittsburgh or Oakland. Sometimes a player needs that. When he was with Boston he was a pain in the butt. He had so many 9 or 10 pitch abs against us and it seemed as if he often came up with a big hit. Was expecting more and was quite surprised by how often his ABs were not competitive. |

Verdugo wants to come back. appreciate his honesty. he knows he didn't have a good season and fully understands he will not be back.
certainly was a major disappointment. based on seeing him w the red sox, expected so much more. coming in, he was a .280 career hitter. didn't come close to that this season. thought he'd be a major upgrade over the clown show we had out there the last couple seasons. defensively he was. no so much offensively.

Sleep is such an elusive pleasure. I went to bed early, woke at about 1:00. Took my second pill and thought I don’t recall sleeping i arose at 5:00. I’m missing 4 hours now…where did they go? I guess I slept… I'm on the west coast and woke at 4am, often do. Most times I try to fall back to sleep but today I was wide awake so thought I'd log on and see if anything interesting was going on in Yankee land. The Yankees should have a game tonight.  |

The Yankees should be kicking themselves, this series was a lot closer than some of the media think, although some of those numbers are skewed by the blowout game 4. |

have to think a lot of that is on boone and the coaching. I'll push back a bit on placing the blame at Boones feet, particularly for the 5th inning. The mistakes were made (with the exception of Volpe) by seasoned veteran ballplayers, Judge, Cole, Rizzo. Even Volpe is no longer a rookie. I don't know how it can be Boones fault that Judge drops an easy fly ball? I don't know how Boone can be blamed for a veteran pitcher not covering first base on a ball hit to the first baseman. These aren't hard plays and are plays these guys have literally made hundreds of times.. I know Boone gets criticized for the team's lack of fundamentals but the players need to make the plays. Is it Boones fault that Gleyber mishandles a routine cutoff throw in game 1 that cost us a run. These guys have been playing the game for a long time, at this point in his career does Judge need to be reminded to keep his eye on the ball when catching it, Cole need to be coached to cover first base, Gleyber to catch an easy one hop throw, Volpe to make an accurate throw for a force out? The base running mistake by Volpe when he didn't score on Wells double was 100% on him. I know he is taught to go half way on that ball, he chose to go back to 2nd. You could tell by how upset he was at 3b that he knew HE made a mistake. I can't blame coaching for that, he knew what he was expected to do and in the heat of the moment decided to do somthing else. Yankees play poor fundamentals but often it is players making bad decisions. |

I agree about base running and alot of that blame (IMO) can be placed on the coaching. I think our 3rd base coach had a bad year with sending and holding baserunners. Made too many outs at homeplate with less than 2 outs. |

That 5th inning was cursed... that's the type of stuff that use to happen to the Sox... Up 5 runs and in a matter of minutes it was over. It all started with Judgie not catching a routine fly ball! How else do you explain not catching that ball! |
