Game Thread Yankees vs Mariners 8/10/2022 4:10PM @ T-Mobile Park

Dog days of summer are here and these Yankees are gasping for air!

 

Carpenter on the 10-day IL. I bet it's more than a month! Could possibly be a season ender?

 

Gleyber at bat doesn’t even look like he tries to do anything besides swing as hard as he can and hit home runs. Really hope we can dump him this offseason. Need Stanton back soon as we all know it will take him a week or 2 to get back in sync! Andujar can hit but if he continues to have brain cramps on the bases it will expedite his return back to triple A. Woke up in the middle of the night yesterday looking for a final score and watched from 11th inning on. Maybe the worst 3 innings of base running in a row I have ever seen from a Yankee team. 1st and 2nd no out and we try a double steal!!! WTF are you doing Boone. IKF needs to go asap. Can’t field, brain dead on the base paths and softest .260 ground all hitter I’ve ever seen. Well past time for paraza to be promoted and put at short and move volpe up to triple A.

 

Getting to be a joke now watching judge get walked all the time. Someone behind him please start making teams pay already!

 

And another 5 pitch walk that would have been a 4 pitch walk if the first pitch a foot outside wasn’t called a strike. Of course Rizzo immediately followed with a k and the inning is over.

 

How does a professional ball player stand at home plate and not make an attempt to swing at strikes down the
middle. And to a more important question….what was Cashman thinking when he traded for Donaldson?
He is not of championship caliber. What a poor excuse for a ball player!

 

Cortes pitching no hitter and you get the feeling he’s pitching behind the 8 ball with the way his teammates
are not supporting him!

 

Losing Carpenter is really a big loss.

 

And there it is. Cortes gives up first hit. Haggerty hits a HR……you could see this coming. Yankees 0 Seattle 1 ….bot 6

 

^^^^^How do these Yankees respond? Anyone?

 

I haven’t seen a pitcher get the calls Ray is getting inside, upside, up and down like Ray is getting from this clueless Hp ump since Greg Maddox and Ray is not Maddox.

 

Only 2 threats right now cage and 1 of them, judge just gets 4 balls thrown way off the plate and he trots to first. Rest of the team looks overmatched!

 

Strategically, walking Judge is the right move……if you want to beat this team!
Judge has been carrying this team for a while. And as long as no one else
hits, opposing teams will continue to throttle these Yankees.

 

Finally, Yankees score some runs. Top 7th, Higashioka hits 2 run HR. Yankees 2 Seattle 1
…..after being shut out for 19.2 innings by Seattle pitchers.

 

Thank goodness for Higgy...2-1, good guys.

 

Higi has big time power when he makes contact. Problem is he makes it so rarely. Now let’s get a few more!

 

JUDGE !!!...3-1, good guys.
