Our old buddy Pineda, another case of a former Yankee coming back to haunt as bets are made on which current Yankee will be the team jackass.

I wonder if Pinhead still wears his hat crooked on his head and pine tar on his neck. I don't want to find out, ntm there's no telecast here. MlbTv said: Twinkies haven't swept the Yankees since 2002. Yeah... And the Tigger's hadn't done it in 21 yrs prior to doing such a week ago. Worst or damn near close to worst in too many offensive catagories. Defense is lackadaisical, base running horrible, and the pen sucks. This team cannot pick up runners in scoring position and leads the league in grounding into double plays. Without Cole and a Healthy Kkuber, this Teams going nowhere. No left handed bats to speak of For a team offense that was built for power, it's barely hitting at all No base stealing incapable of playing small ball We could pick apart this team all night long. Trashman's follies The only good thing about the 2021 team over the 2020's leader in errors, IS-WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH BABOONE'S BLOWING BUBBLES! AT LEAST NOT YET
Two rockets hit by the Yanx that inning, both were caught...and then DJ called out on strikes on a pitch that was a half a fucking foot off the plate.
Pineda walking a tight rope vs the Yanx...they've hit a lot of very hard hit balls against him but have nothing to show for it thus far.
Not to mention, for some reason, a higher %pctg of the HP Umps this year, seem to suck far beyond the norm! The umpires will whine and cry when they are replaced by modern day technology. They will have brought it on themselves. I cannot wait to see the electronic computer K-zone. I have nothing against Young 30-year-olds calling games in MLB. But I have a problem when 30-year-olds (Bacchus) call a game, and should be thrown out of the game themselves, for antagonizing managers and players by calling ball strikes when they're a foot off the plate. No one can argue balls and strikes with an umpire, even when they obviously blow a call. But there are times, when the game should be stopped for an incoming call from Command Central, the same phone line used for replay review. I could just see an incoming call in between innings when the Umpire gets ejected from the game for calling shit! That will be the day. And the day is coming soon when the HP Umps will only be used for calling safe or out at the plate, when runs are scored; no longer balls and strikes. That day cannot come soon enough.
