Trevy to PH

[NineOneSeven]

nice to get out of a bases loaded spot!

 

[Noexcuse]

Made it interesting but Judge and Volpe at bats were killers.

Stat Nerd Alert:

Trevino vs LHP: .626 OPS during the regular season

Wells vs LHP: .526

Of course. 4 straight is basically impossible.

 

[Cowtown]

Of course. 4 straight is basically impossible.

Certainly as long as they keep swinging for HR's on pitches that break down and away from them.

 

[br801]

Of course. 4 straight is basically impossible.

It's baseball. Anything is possible. The worst teams win about 40% of their games, and the best somewhere about 60%.

Is Judge not striking out 2+ times a game while hitting under the Mendoza line possible though? Morphing into Joey Gallo postseason isn’t helping.

Heck, I’ll even take the Ks and average if the balls in play are productive. That’s what Stanton is providing.

This is brutal for the likely unanimous MVP, and it sucks to see it.

Throw in 1996 Yankees vs Braves

i really was expecting more from alex verdugo all season. not sure why. looks like his batting avg and OBP has dropped every year since 2020. (.308/367 to .233/291) .

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Denny’s

Excellent point.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Judge 6-40 this postseason.

 

[JustPherU]

Judge 6-40 this postseason.

I’m surprised nobody in the media has brought his struggles up.

 

[kirbivore]

Absolutely true. But. Bring in your high leverage guy (Hill) in that situation who’s been pretty much lights out and let him sink or swim and not the likable lefty who hasn’t pitched to live batters in over a month. One thing about Cortes though. The long layoff didn’t seem to affect his control. Both pitches he threw (1 to Ohtani and 1 to Freeman) were right over the plate.

In the 7th inning of Game 1 all Boone had to do was channel 2003 Dusty Baker and leave Cole in to handle a measly leadoff single with 88 pitches and facing the bottom of the order. What's the point of having a 30 Million dollar ace if you don't push him there? That early hook was the first domino in the cascade of crap. Also could the offense blow one of these games open with all the early chances and make the margin Boone proof?

 

[kirbivore]

If Cole is a fraudulent ace, what does that make Judge?

Mr. June.

 

[kirbivore]

Trevino pinch hitting

Again what's the point of having Dominguez on this roster if he can't PH there? Cashman won't have the guts but I want to see the Martian in left field tonight. I don't care about the defense. Verdugo is a zero at the plate.

In Game 3 Joe Torre had the stones to bench Tino and O"Neil for Fielder and Strawberry respectfully. I know different era when the manager actually made those decisions. Will Cashman's nerds have the stones to bench Verdugo and Wells? Those 2 at 8-9 are automatic outs.

He must have pictures of Cashman and Boone at a Diddy party. I don't get the undying loyalty to a guy whose not under contract next year and is the worst hitter in the league since June.

The quality of players on the bench between the 90’s Yankees and this team are not comparable. I’m not sure it matters much. Judge needs to hit and not be 2006 Arod.

 

[Biaxtar]

I want trevinio at catcher. And if they are down. The martian in for Verdugo
