Game Thread Yankees vs. Braves Wednesday 8/26/20, 7:05 pm

I have no idea why Boone would assume that Tanaka had "emptied the tank"...that's freaking ridiculous.

I've alway put more stock int0 how well any given pitcher has pitched on any given day instead of going by pitch counts when deciding whether or not to remove a pitcher. Tank was dealing and dominating the Braves and when a pitcher is "on", you don't pull him after 66 damn pitches.

The thing that really ticked me off when Freeman hit that go ahead HR was the fact that Tanaka had totally baffled Freddy in his first 2 ABs. Freeman, who is an exceptional hitter looked completely lost against Tanaka and struck out both times earlier in the game.


Terrible decision by Boone. But even with his bad managing, one inescapable fact remains...the Yanx only scored 1 run in both ends of the double-header...not gonna win many games that way.

 

Meh, just can't seem to bring myself to accept this sham of a Baseball season.

...until this covid calamity is finally under control, sports as they're currently configured, are simply not the same.

 

The Yankees Stink enough said.
