Cora is looking to forfeit and demoralize his team. Maybe the strategy is to injure the Yankees by making them run a lot.

Why do we have to be subjected to these two stooges in the booth?

How does that argument in favor of this bag o s*** bullpen go? They suck and Cora ruined the starters with his ridiculous spring training. Cora wants to spot these guys 8 runs hoping that there is a mercy rule? It was obvious that this guy was cooked several batters last ago.

I would trade Beni for him.

Benny sucks again.

Maybe he should start tomorrow.

Is a reverse bowler anything like a knuckleballer?

Knuckleball pitchers are always talking about how the weather and atmosphere affect the movement of their pitches. This could be interesting.

It's the bloody atmosphere.

It's the bloody atmosphere!

Cora's stubbornness in keeping him in the top of the order has cost us big. It is the primary reason why our first inning production has been terrible.

That was an embarrassing outing by Porcello.

7 run rule in effect. You can turn of your TVs. This is over.

This is going very poorly. Porcello is back to his career norm of a 4.25 ERA.

Rick needs to avoid The Porcellos. That will not be easy— 385’ to dead center field.

If we win the Division, yes. If not, and we survive the crapshoot of the wild card game, I will still believe that it was a mistake. I think the best way to keep the staff fresh would have been to jump out to a lead early and given rest along the way. I don't think resting in March and April will have much positive effects later in the season. Edit: And I am not doubtful that we can win the division.

I think Cora is a good in game manager, but he messed up royally with his spring training approach to the starting pitching and it may have screwed the season.

Not only was Kimbrel a lock down closer, but he may be the best closer of his generation. So much for the stupidity of thinking that closers are over valued. A huge component of the Yankees post season streak was Mo Rivera. That consistency was a huge factor for them making the playoffs so often.

[h=2]Yankees To Place Giancarlo Stanton On Injured List[/h]By Steve Adams | June 26, 2019 at 4:22pm CDT The Yankees will place right fielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list due to a strained posterior collateral ligament in his right knee, manager Aaron Boone announced to reporters (Twitter link via The Athletic’s Lindsey Adler). He won’t travel with the team to London for the upcoming series against the Red Sox. Mike Tauchman is on his way up to replace Stanton on the active roster. Stanton, of course, had only just returned from the IL last week after missing more than two months due to a biceps strain. He went 7-for-23 (.304) with a homer, a double and seven runs knocked in during his brief return to the Bronx, but he’ll now be sidelined for at least another 10 days in what has become an increasingly frustrating campaign for the four-time All-Star and 2017 National League MVP. The latest injury occurred on the basepaths in yesterday’s game; Stanton exited prior to the fourth inning of said contest. With Stanton once again headed to the shelf for a yet-unspecified period of time, the Yankees will likely lean on Brett Gardner, Aaron Hicks and Aaron Judge as the primary outfielders with newly acquired Edwin Encarnacion lining up as the primary designated hitter. Even a Stanton-less New York lineup is quite formidable now that Judge, Hicks and Didi Gregorius are all healthy at the same time, but the drop in offensive output from Stanton to Gardner is nevertheless notable. The Yankees have not only weathered but thrived in the face of an exceptional number of injuries thus far in 2019. Despite their substantial injury woes, they’ve opened up a comfortable 6.5-game lead over the second-place Rays, whom they swept at Yankee Stadium last week.

No problem. Feel free to start the London game threads.

i was not upset, or drunk. I don’t take drugs either. My remarks were tongue in cheek. I care so little about it that I thought I would make that clear by starting today’s thread. For some reason you thought this has merited calling me a moron.

If you can’t beat’em join’em.

The etiquette is no longer being observed.

Mojo is meaningless.

10 games behind the Yankees in the loss column. This season is f***ed unless DD pulls a rabbit out of the bag. This bullpen is not going to cut it.
