    Right on the money!! As much as I like andujar’s offense he is to the point that you hold your breath on any throws of his to first if he catches the ball. Seemed better earlier in the season. Boone may have to start replacing him defensively in 8th and 9th innings with a lead. Torres on the other hand is a very good fielder but gets in trouble when he nonchalant balls and mentallyzones out at times with regards to not covering bases

    Why do I get the feeling they stopped hitting?.........after scoring 3 runs.

    CC is done. Another double and now the parade of bull(shit)penners.

    Nice effort cc giving us another 3 innings!! Please retire after this season. Watching this geriatric starting staff besides Seve is frustrating as hell. This team especially with judge back can win WC game, Boston , Houston and World Series. They are also capable even with judge in there if getting their asses kicked in the WC game and an early offseason. If this happens I expect Steinbrenner without the tax situation going crazy and the only 2 starters back are Seve and Tanaka with probably Sheffield in the rotation. The other 2 spots will either be top free agent pitchers if there are any or trading for top young starters. Would not be surprised if andujar continues fielding like he is trading him for a youn starter and signing machado to play third

    And this is another problem. We are still in this game only down a run and Boone brings in guys that just give up runs like Cole and holder that we can never catch up from

    Maybe Boner should have his relievers pitch for 2 outs. Every one of them gives up runs, it seems.

    The way this team has been playing they don’t really deserve a playoff spot, but with such a hot start it’s almost guaranteed they’ll get in. As of right now, with the giant funk this team is in there is no way they win the WC game. All facets of their game is crap. Offense....crap. Pitching....crap. Defense.....crap.

    ...yup, not sure what the problem is...I know they're both young, but still. Andujar's throwing mechanics could certainly be improved...but with Torres it seems like he just gets a little to lackadaisical at times, almost like Cano was prone to do...like you said, their offense speaks for itself but their defense is well, you know.

    And the runs keep coming...Hey, BaBoone have Cole pitch another inning. What’s another run.

    Mickey Mouse could strike out Stanton of late.

    Amazing but I saw a blurb yesterday that compared on this date to last year this team is 14 games better. Boy, it doesn’t feel like it.

    A’s relief keeping Yankees in check. They’ve stopped hitting after 2nd inning. This is an ongoing trend....against good pitching.
