Girardi may be in the process of burning out Betances a AL Joe Torre and so many 8 th inning pitchers.

Unbelievably, Girardi has to bring in Betances in this game. Of course, our interim idiot gave up the game a couple of innings ago when he sent up Leon for Ortiz with two men on base and the score being 12-5.

The hitters have put up a 7 spot. I would boo the manager and some of our pitchers for a horrendous game

They are trying. The pitching is just garbage. The guys on the mound have taken is out of games all season long.

Another home run by the Yankees. Owens is charged withe 7 runs.

The kid had nothing today. He doesn't even get through two innings giving up 6 runs so far.

4:10 Start -- Game in Progress Yankees leading 3-1 top 2nd inning Owens vs. Tanaka Bottom first Ortiz drove in a run with a double. In the top of the second inning, Owens gave up back to back homers to Bird and Murphy.

DD has a pitching staff that needs improvement externally. He has a logjam of mediocre pitchers and rookies. He probably needs to give one of the rookies a path to the rotation and the others will be depth. If he adds two top of the rotation pitchers, he has a game of musical chairs with the mediocre choices and Buch: he will have Miley, Porcello, Kelly, and Buchholz vying for 2 rotation spots. He can probably move Kelly to the pen where he can also be a depth option. Porcello has an albatross of a contract, so he will be very difficult to move. I think he will be in the 2016 rotation. It will come down to Miley and Buch. Neither is a bullpen pitcher. One needs to go. It will come down to which one is the more tradeable commodity. Will it be Miley with a reasonable size contract for a reliable 200 innings and a 4+ ERA or Buch with a reasonable salary who can be outstanding for half season stretches? They need to pick up his option for additional flexibility in moving forward. My bet is that no one will offer much talent for a guy with a bad elbow until he proves that he is healthy. He will not be able to establish that he is healthy until Spring Training. Most teams have their pitching settled by then. My bet is that DD doesn't wait until Spring Training and trades Miley in the offseason.

And neither was the check swing. Douche ump should have asked for help and not ended game on that.

Lefties are helpless against Miller. And that strike call to Swihart was ********.

And there is the home run ball.

13 k's ! Goodness!

Bradley is just tearing the cover off the ball. The guy must be juicing.

Yankee announcers said that someone determined that Didi 's ball would have been out of 24 of 30 ballparks.

TV announcers, mainly Cone because Garces was on the Sox the year Cone played for us.

The Yankees have called up Andrew Bailey.

Yep.

Yankee announcers were comparing him to El Guapo Rich Garces. The big difference is that Garces was very good for a couple of years. This guy is just built like Garces.

I was pleasantly surprised that Gregorios's ball did not leave the yard. He has been locked in lately and hit everything hard last night. That out was crushed pretty good. MFYs made a good deal getting him.

With Taz seemingly incapable and unwilling to take on the closer role and with Uehara turning 100 on baseball years, DD needs to get a viable plan B to close for next season in addition to completely revamping the bullpen. How many pitchers from our current bullpen do you think return for 2016? I am going with 2-- definitely Taz and Uehara is 50/50.

He had him the whole way.lol! Grand Slam in Yankee Stadium.

Gregorious is 4 for 4

Pull him now!

Breslow time! Why is he leaving him in against the lefty?

Embarrassing!
