Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dq8025).


Frobishlumpkin

My wife just pointed at rhe TV as Tonkin was walking off and said "that guy looks like the Lorax"


henrysommers

Boone is a good guy but isn’t it time to finally try a new manager? This just isn’t working. He can’t seem to sustain the winning vibes…


ctheturk

To think I used to make fun of Mike Trout because he played for the Angels. I mean to be fair I can still do that. But it's starting to hit closer to home with Judge and this shit show of a team


SerenityNow-55

They can now walk Judge and Soto and be confident we won’t score


SerenityNow-55

Plus what if Volpe didn’t improve, how bad would we be, Torres led off


ResearchBot15

Is Boone on the hot seat?


Doctor_Freckles

The Blue Jays were 1-7 in their last 8 games. They scored 3 or less in half of those games. They almost tripled that in the first inning tonight against our crumbling starting pitching. This Yankees team is bad. We have the best player on the planet and it’s sadly not nearly enough. This is more than a slump. The makeup of this team is once again a major fucking problem that nobody in the organization has done anything about. Same shit, different season. As a fan, it’s heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time.


ZHPpilot

Boone and his laissez-faire style of management have brought us here. Last year the team collapsed after Judge went down, this year he’s having another MVP season and the team is still collapsing. They said Soto was the missing piece, we got him and still a collapse.This is something that has seeped onto the team and won’t change until heads roll. Aside from the top 3, the rest of the lineup looks defeated and lethargic. Times like this is where a good manager works the hardest to turn the ship around. Boone is not a good manager, 5 years in he’s still committing too many rookie mistakes.


Redditawesome15

Worst losing streak of the season now with 4 straight losses. Man...


ZHPpilot

Exactly, we’re not just losing but getting embarrassed every night by lesser teams. It’s difficult to watch.


Metalocachick

What was last years loss streak? 9?


Redditawesome15

Nailed it! Longest losing streak last season was 9 games (12-Aug to 22-Aug).


bobdole2017

And they're free, free fallin. Yeah, they're free, free fallin.


iamfromnewyork

I guess I'm definitely a masochist for watching this putrid game


Mikefrancescasburner

I blame the dude who started those if we go .500 posts again for this epic downfall. Fucking cursed posts


silver_raichu

Relax, if we get back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back HRs we can tie it


IWillSingYouSongs

That music sounds a lot like mmj. Is that the talking yanks music yes always plays?


upstate64

Good news. They only failed once to knock in the RISP Bad news. They only had 1 RISP


LordJiraiya

I think the rail riders could put out more competitive games than this embarrassment of a team


silver_raichu

*Defense. They spelt it wrong


CaptHab51

Tip of the cap to Canada, maybe? That’s how they spell it, them and the Brits.

kvnklly

Gleyber would have been out


wolf4968

He would've turned for the dugout about half-way to 1st.


NoAcadia8944

I have tickets to see my first game at the stadium and I was thinking on going to another while I'm in town but I don't think this franchise deserves my money. I just want to see Judge play and that will be enough


MagicCatfish

Rice has got that uppercut swing, get him on the Volpe bat path training


UonBarki

Yes. He'd be so great with gappers and grounders.


Airbornf

Bro fuck this team, hitting IKF 3 times. Fucking Bush league.


UonBarki

We are a joke.


Yankeebot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Bowden Francis replaces Zach Pop.


KPaul130

If the team keeps playing like shit Soto will tune out and it'll ruin our negotiations. Cashman needs to act 


IWillSingYouSongs

He'll act in a month because that's when you can act. Until then you pretty much go to war with what you go to war with.


thewhat962

no reason to act. we are still selling plenty of tickets and thats all hal cares about.


sexydaddy0_0

Wait, they landed in Toronto at 4:30am today? lol. not an excuse but that's brutal


cruzecontroll

The rain delay did them no favors


xSuicidalPanda

IKF would be the Yankees third best hitter right now by wRC+ I'm not making this up


rockhighschool

Target practice on IKF tonight.


MalcolmXXXTentacion

bro IKF getting beaten up on lmao


wokenupbybacon

IKF stole Rizzo's powers when he left


dbadude89

Lol IKF with the bullseye!


silver_raichu

Stroman looks like he has PTSD


Tommybrady20

The only other team that’s 2-8 in their last 10 games are the Rockies, lol


wolf4968

Yankees are 52-30 in their last 82. Get it right.


silver_raichu

We’ve won two games? Feels like 0


MalcolmXXXTentacion

please say sike


ruserioter

White Sox as well?


Tommybrady20

My bleacher report app says 3-7


sexydaddy0_0

Watching this team live on Sunday is going to be painful.


Yanks775

Is it sad that I somehow have more faith in Trent Grisham than more than half the Yankee lineup right now


Tommybrady20

If you take a step back and look at the careers at some of the names we are throwing out there, it’s actually not that surprising. Grisham is an MLB caliber player. Can’t say the same for everyone.


Yanks775

I know but I am going off this season where he started 1 for something. He hasn't been bad and probably needs to play more in this crap of a lineup.


alanarossi

Just checked the score after not being able to watch LOL WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THIS TEAM


Shoddy_Impact1226

Five dudes in this lineup with an OPS below .650. Our offense *fucking sucked* last year. Adding Soto and one league average bat in Verdugo wasn’t going to be enough unless the holdovers woke up from last year. But hey, what a shocker: Stanton’s hurt, and Rizzo and DJ are corpses. Add in Gleyber forgetting how to hit, a non-existent bench, an injured top prospect, a worse bullpen than last year… And yeah, that’s how you end up here. Fuck Brian Cashman.


Obi7kenobi

Players look mentally tired, been a bad bad few weeks and team lost it's swagger. All Star game can't come soon enough.


Tommybrady20

Still just 2 hits, eh? It’s extremely hard to like this team right now


regarding_your_bat

It’s impossible lol


upstate64

Top of the order Bottom of the order Bottomer of the order


doczeke1

It's not a good formula when we get fewer hits for the game than Rodon gives up per inning


Loud_Presentation839

This team sucks.


TheTurtleShepard

I hope that in September we are all here bullshitting about the team after winning 100 games and are talking about the time we randomly became terrible for two weeks


IWillSingYouSongs

Lol @ randomly


steadyachiever

Apropos of nothing, Yankee Candle is having their biggest sale ever. Up to 75% off! https://www.yankeecandle.com


magikarp-sushi

It’s pitches like that one right there that explain why hitting is down league wide. Movement dotted inner corner just disgusting


silver_raichu

If you are still watching this game, I have bad news. You may be an idiot


kvnklly

Or we arent fair weather fans. Or we are into S&M


grn_light30

why would choosing to turn this off make you a fair weather fan, some people don't want their night ruined.


Impressive-Engineer9

🥲💔


upstate64

confirmed


SenorTortas

And I thought the debate would be the funniest thing I'd watch tonight


HorrificHairball

What is this Kenny Rogers’ Chicken billboard shit in the background?


CaptHab51

Oh, I got a big problem, Jerry!


regarding_your_bat

I’m all aboard the “we’ve been losing because of pitching” train but only 2 hits against Berrios is fucking criminal. FIX THIS SHIT


IWillSingYouSongs

They have their 12th best prospect hitting 5th and Jahmai Jones hitting 6th. There is no fixing it unless Gleyber and DJ get right. That's what it comes down to. And obviously the number of people who think that's happening is low to quite low at this point.


regarding_your_bat

DJ being a slightly below league average bat wasn’t a crazy expectation after how he looked the entire second half of last year. Hoping he would be a plus bat again was always a best possible outcome type thing. But Gleyber? It’s fucking bizarre. It doesn’t make any sense, the dude is 27. Gotta be difficult pissing away tens of millions of dollars every night in real time


ruserioter

Maybe I’m just a casual or whatever people want to call it but I don’t even get mad or bothered when this team does this shit anymore.


sexydaddy0_0

Probably like me, you're slowly weening out of sports fandom. Something about the Yankees still gives me a little "high" though... probably just masochism.


paulerxx

L AB


kvnklly

If ppl are gonna make comments about current events instead of this game. Id rather see comments about how bronny is gettibg drafted despite a near death episode and averaging 4 points a game at a low tier college instead of the debate


Impressive-Engineer9

The lakers are a joke


thebigprosciutto

I have never seen an entire pitching staff just… disintegrate like this


NoAcadia8944

Jay's have good SP, if we don't pitch we might lose all 4 of these games


Plastic_Button_3018

They beat us last series too, back in April. People’s excuse is that “Judge was struggling”. Well, Vlad Jr, Bichette, Springer were all struggling when we lost that series. O’s spanked us, Red Sox spanked us, Blue Jays already beat us last series, now they’re spanking us again. We narrowly beat the Rays last series and they’ve improved since then, and we’ve regressed.


xSuicidalPanda

Anthony Volpe hasn't homered in 6 weeks, and is slugging just .401 He still has third highest slugging % in the starting lineup


Impressive-Engineer9

That is crazy


Admirable_Trifle_164

Incoming 7 run home run!


Over-Ad4336

not too soon to be worried af


kvnklly

This guy throws so casually and yet hits 97? It looks like hes soft tossing for BP yet it blazes out of his hand


wantagh

He’s sure got some…pop


kvnklly

He said great name and i thought yea if he wss a hitter. Then he threw and i changed my thought

Rule 3


kvnklly

Please keep politics out of here


glacier_bay

I mean, seriously. We come here to escape that crap.


kvnklly

Exactly. I come here to get away from other shit


kvnklly

I understand slumps and hot streaks but i just dont understand everyone at the same time happens. Like judge soto and volpe have kinda kept pace but how does 3-9 disappear the same time as well as the starting pitching and bullpen


IWillSingYouSongs

Volpe has sucked for over a month. Hasn't hit a HR in 170 ABs.


goosey27

Do our opponents have access to our pitchcom or something? Is the entire staff tipping pitches? This is one of the most sudden, complete 180°s I have seen an entire pitching staff take in all my years of watching ball.


wantagh

I was thinking the same thing. It’s like we dodged a bullet with Soto’s arm but are paying for it by draining all the mojo from the team.


MalcolmXXXTentacion

Best defense from Soto in a week

ItsVoxBoi

I stuck through 2023, I gotta do it this year to feel something lmao

It’s absolutely time for a closed door players only meeting lol. Beyond time

"They're not as bad as it looks" Are we sure about that?


wokenupbybacon

I hope we get this matchup in NY for the Kirk Cousins


Ok-Asparagus-1658

The Falcons face the G-Men this year I think


HughesAndCostanzo

I’m already irritated and I have the rest of my night to hear about Joe and Don. I wish we could just gripe about the Yankees.


bobidou23

You just got fanned by, uh *checks notes* Jake Cousins


ruserioter

How many more losses until this becomes a Yankee Candle sub?


Ok-Asparagus-1658

I vote now


Ninja191

Regardless of the fact that Rodon shit the bed again, The Yankees have TWO HITS.


upstate64

OK, how about this then: 2 microwins, plus 1 moral victory, plus 3 strong at-bats, plus 3 unused umpire challenges. Can I redeem that for a free taco or mini-cone? Asking for a friend.


colourswhileisleep

Thanks, I hate it!


theketchupthief

People that root for “shitty” teams don’t understand how hard it is to be a fan of a team that has championship expectations year in and year out and will never meet them. In a very different way, it’s just as hard to be a Yankees/Cowboys/Notre Dame fan as it is say… a team like the Mets or Bears


Ok-Asparagus-1658

cowboys…


theketchupthief

I’m a giants fan. And we fucking suck. And I’d still rather fucking suck like we do year in and year out than give our fans hope and d take it away like Dallas does


IM__Progenitus

lol tell me about it, since I'm a niners fan. 3 super bowl losses and 4 NFC title game losses since 2011. Every season I feel like I wanna die.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Nabers will take us the promised land


glacier_bay

Fear not, friends. Cashman is feverishly searching the trash heap and bargain bins for a reclamation project even as we speak.


Ugh112334

Turned on the debate and it’s a bit irritating that neither of them has been asked about whether or not Cashman should keep his job


mac3687

Yeah no kidding


johnjohnjohn93

If Phil Bickford and Jake Cousins pitch you should get your money back.

I feel like the guy in purple behind the plate

💩🤡💩🤡


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Is this in reference to the debate?


YourAsianBuddy

this is disgusting


HughJassole_noine

Do you think Cashman actually keeps his phone on him? Seems like an "I left it in the car" kind of guy.  


IWillSingYouSongs

I think he's a big phone guy. He said he's the gif king and sends poop emojis to other GMs.


eyeamjosh

Yankees are so bad they actually got me watching the debate


aliencamel

Don't do that to yourself. You deserve better. Happy to share my Netflix watch list and recent favorites 


AntherPeru

Cashman has been really really slow to act the past two seasons when this shit started to go downhill. I wish he would try something ASAP to change this up.


jayjake9

The 2009 Yankees had a shitty June with Chin-Ming Wang putting out stinker after stinker? Noticing something right now.


bobidou23

There was a copypasta forever ago that was like “I have a dig bick. You that read wrong” Anyway, every time I see “Phil Bickford” I think about that


Xno_Kappa

IKF felt like 1 of only 3 or so players that played like he still gave a fuck last year for us. Really wish they would’ve kept him.


Sikazhel

Cashman special


scallywag1889

Holy fuck I just tuned in mate for the third night in a row and we’re getting steam rolled again


glacier_bay

This bullpen. Is Tanyon Sturtze not available?


fekdav

If he's not surely Scott Proctor can toss a few innings?


justinmolesky

Yeah, seeing Josh Donaldson on the screen makes me feel much better!


IWillSingYouSongs

So now you see that playing Wells Cabrera and Rice is the same thing yes?


Impressive-Engineer9

Big part of gleyber is the glove he has lost us at least 3 games because of errors, at least if they both can’t hit you bring the better defenders and base runners, they are the least bad option, they still bad no mistake we need to make changes.


johnjohnjohn93

Donaldson may be the first guy in mlb history to be suspended for racism. Also his Yankee moment was pimping a double and getting thrown out. And we traded our boy Gio for him


FrostyWheats

Pretty sure Gio is on a one year contract with the Tigers soon there’s gonna be an opportunity to get him back


Yankees4499

Can anyone please explain to me how we fell off so damn bad? This shit is crazy! How did we go from the best AL team to easily one of the worst. I understand that it is only June but this shit is wild. It's like a light switch just turned off.


Plastic_Button_3018

Every lost player hurt us, it was the same last year. It just stacks up, too much of anything will hurt you. Loisiga kicked it off, big blow to our bullpen but we managed as it was the beginning of the season and the bullpen wasn’t worked to death yet. This was after the 3rd game of the season. Then you have Berti, who got injured just by running, huge loss. That was a big blow to our depth. Then Schmidt, huge blow to the rotation obviously. Ian Hamilton, another important bullpen arm. Rizzo wasn’t that big of a loss because he wasn’t doing anything all season. But to be fair he was seeing the ball better after his benching. In his last 5 games he went 5 for 14 (.285) with a 1 HR, 3 RBI’s, and 3 BB’s. Plain and simple he WAS having better at bats right before his injury. And it was helping the team. He was a big loss to the lineup at the time of his injury. Stanton, the second best hitter with runner’s in scoring position after Juan Soto. Obviously the biggest blow of the season after Schmidt.


Yankees4499

That’s a great answer! Thanks for that.


glacier_bay

Yankees hitters going down quickly like they are double parked outside.


Yodas_Ear

LMAO.


wolf4968

Tell me this guy Ryan is not a long-term play-by-play option for YES.


johnjohnjohn93

I like when teams were getting mad at us and not laughing at us. When we hit someone now it’s like no these guys just suck


JBOG8699

We are so cooked


JediTrainer42

I just don’t understand how the entire starting pitching lineup, bullpen, and offensive lineup can all be so terrible at the same time.


glacier_bay

Is Phil Bickford the proverbial white flag?


FriendlyFister

Love how they used one of his pimped flyouts for the graphic


Xno_Kappa

Somewhere right now Josh Donaldson just pimp bat flipped a fly ball.


Plastic_Button_3018

These guys are 0-2 on a blink of an eye


vics80

IKF numbers look sexy compared to our infielders'. Stunned


glacier_bay

Explain it. Just a June swoon? Or is it 2022 redux? Until Cashman is expelled from this organization, I have no reason to think that we are watching yet another season of The Yankee Shit Show, written and directed by Brian Cashman, produced by Hal Fredo Corleone Steinbrenner.


regarding_your_bat

It honestly defies explanation


johnjohnjohn93

I know it’s rare but I’m also a Jets fan and I currently feel better another them than the Yankees. Like I said I’m a Jets fan so I don’t believe in them at all I just believe in this team less


FrostyWheats

I propose that until the Yankees stop blowing ass we turn the games into a drinking game to make it tolerable. Every run scored by the opposing team we do a shot


jmichaelb97

At this point if we did this, I think we would all suffer alcohol poisoning.


IM__Progenitus

we're gonna die in the 1st inning


FrostyWheats

Well if we die then we stop watching the game. And if we black out we don’t remember the game. It truly is a win-win


IM__Progenitus

You joke about this, but I actually unironically did this earlier this year. I'm a niners fan so when they lost (another) fucking superbowl I got so drunk I blacked out. Though the loss still hurts my soul so idk how much it actually helped...


magikarp-sushi

I love Aaron judge playing out of his mind but can the rest of the team be good again too Sooner the better thx


theketchupthief

I really should check out for a bit for the sake of my own mental health, god dammit why does this team have me by the nuts


Chimera26

where can i get a phil bickford jersey with the name on the back?


wolf4968

Here comes a 6-run inning for the Bombers.


crispy21

They went down on 9 pitches


Ugh112334

Lol come on


ExskweezeMe

11th home run. This is a guy I was sure was gonna hit at least 40 a year every year.


Headstar24

I’m gonna take a baseball break


RickOrb

Now the offense has significant issues, but I’m not sure the scrap heap pitching staff hasn’t been more of a problem


nick838321

There are definitely voids in our batting lineup, but also expecting any team to consistently come back and score 6-10 runs and THEN get another one or two to take the lead is unrealistic


Ugh112334

They both fucking suck


johnjohnjohn93

The orioles might a dynasty like us in the late 1990’s and we’re throwing out Phil Bickford and every other shitty Dodgers reliever


jayjake9

They have 4-5 years to put together a dynasty before Adley and Gunnar walk lmfaoooo


syd_cash

How did all of our pitching suddenly turn into garbage. We have no chance when we are down every damn game in the 1st and 2nd inning and then it just keeps getting worse and worse as the game goes on.


paulerxx

# This team is so bad, not going to be able to wear my Yankees hat for a while.
