    Mind boggingly hard to believe Donaldson was ever an MVP.

    Yup, that pitch wasn't even close to being a strike.

    What an anti-climatic ending with Hicks at the plate bases loaded.

    Imo, Yanx need to send both Hicks and Gallo down to the double AA, and call up Andujar and Florial, once and for all for good

    I was checking out a couple of Yankee fans sites on Facebook. Unlike everyone here on this board, those idiots on Facebook bad mouth anybody that dislikes Gallo, or wants to see Gallo sent home for good, and they all bad mouth anyone that wants to see a umpire-less home plate strike zone.

    Needless to say I will not post on those Facebook sites, and I will never visit them again. Where the fuck do these fans come from? The ones that still praise Gallo, and/or don't want to see the K zone enacted, or prefer these fucking HP Umps

    As they say, "hindsight is 20-20"...but wouldn't Carpenter have been a better option than Hicks in that situation?...seems so to me.

    When you have 5 hitters you have any confidence in and the crack analytics committee chooses to sit 2 of them the result is what we saw today. Too many dead spots. Hicks, Gallo and Donaldson are totally useless. Trevino and IKF are mediocre at best. This team needs a couple of bats namely andujar and either Florial or someone else. The pitching is good enough and as long as Rizzo plays first saving the rest of the infield a million errors as none of them can seem to reach first on a fly the yanks will be ok but need to find those 2 more hitters!

    Unfortunately, with two of their better hitters given the day off and with Hicks & Gallo in the same
    lineup, BaBoone is telling Cleveland, “Beat us with our less than best!”

    Well, the Guardians put up the gates & gave the Yankees fits today…..all in the name of Triston McKenzie who
    allowed these mighty Yankees just one hit for 7 innings and that’s all she wrote with a whimper in the 9th inning
    …..not one Yankee touched home plate today.

    Never gonna happen. I can see Trashman trading one or both (Andújar/ Florial)
    for “experienced players”. Not even this GM believes in their Developmental Program!

    I’ve been saying all year: Donaldson, a headcase, is over-rated both at the plate & in the field;
    Hicks & Gallo are not contact hitters & never hit to the opposite field; would not want to see either
    at bat in a pressure situation, basically, with men in scoring position. Totally concur with Memel…..
    deadbeats at their best.

    I agree. Facebook Yankee fans are jackasses. Just because the player is wearing the Yankee stripes, they really
    believe they are great. What a bunch sick, mindless jerks…..total airheads!

    It's bad when Judge and DJ aren't in the lineup.

    And 1 more thing IKF is shaky at best at short saved a bunch of errors by Rizzo brilliance at first.

    Here's a stat for you:

    Going in today's Padres versus Dodgers game in LA. The Padres were 3 - 150 while on the road in LA. The Padres won so make that 4- 150.
