Yanks lose 10-5...Up 5-4, Chapman gives up tying home run, hits a batter and walks a batter and gets pulled at 5-5. Mets score another 5 on top of 7th (double header) G Cole only goes 3.1 inning and gives up 4 runs.

The trade had nothing to do with Betts free agency signing. So if Betts had signed with the Cubs, his WAR with Cubs would have to be factored in for evaluating the trade between the Sox and the Dodgers? That makes absolutely no sense. How would you evaluate the E Rod/Miller trade?

Is Santana an idiot? Keep the hitter off 2b.....isn't that the rule?
-
Many of us enjoy analyzing the game and the team. His hyperbole adds nothing to discussion. Manager admits pen is being overworked. Well what's the solution? To me it seems we need to rotate out arms with our minor league affiliates. We can have civil conversation. It can't just be shut up because we're in 1st place. By the time you realize its a problem, it maybe too late.
-
I'm not sure operations people are ready to 'replace' a starter unless it's with Sale. It's possible someone like Houck may spot start to give starting arms a day of rest here and there. I think we need to keep bringing up bullpen help and see if one or two sticks. They can come in on low leverage situations to start. We need to lengthen bull pen depth if our starters are only going 5 innings. We're burning through bullpen arms when we have close games as we've had with the A's. That will get worse once we start to play the other Big 3 in the stretch run. We're not ready.
-
Bottom line is we're up 2 and we had no choice but Andriese. Not manager's fault. It's on Bloom. Develop more bullpen arms for stretch run. This is why you can't just sit on your ass and be complacent. Need Plan B, C, D, etc.
-
I know I always come up with stupid ideas but last night with 2 run lead in extra innings, you do everything you can to win it. Why not bring in a starter? So what if he misses a turn? Bring up a minor leaguer to fill the starter spot. I rather take a chance on winning a one inning game with 2 run lead than trying to win in 9 innings with 0-0 score. It's just probability. Although JD made a terrific play to save the game, I question playing him in a big ball park. He just can't get to batted balls. "we're not going to give up on him"....words from Cora. Let's hope he was just being kind to Andriese. He's had bad two months, on his way to third. Workman was very fortunate to get his two innings in. He was hit pretty hard, luckily it was always hit at someone.
-
We can chalk it up as a just a loss or....admit this is why we need to shore up players 24-26 on our roster. Need another bullpen arm. Need someone not named Santana. Everyone on this board sees it. We don't need a $30M guy. Let's get Houck up here. Just a little internal tweak.

I want my money back for wasting 4 hours of my life...
-
This game is separating men from boys.....
-
I would have brought in a starter.....you have chance to win right now.....bring up a minor leaguer to start a game....
-
Only good thing I can say is at least Santana didn't ground into double play. He sucks.
-
this is where you think about pinch running for the catcher on 2B....surely they have a back up catcher....
-
Moon I know you're watching the game......I'm sorry but I can't take Santana much longer. I want to be nice....
-
I don't see how Duran can do any worse....
-
We need another 2 inning guy in the pen....
-
They need to bring up Houck.....lengthen the bullpen
-
Said prior to game, Barnes not available
-
no business not throwing a fastball....
-
He should be batting 3rd?
-
Rios is typical Bloom pick up.....he has three more years of team control if he can stick it.
-
I'd say Rios (I saw him warming up last inning)
-
I read an article Oakland A's were pissed that 'transit' people decided to stop it at 10 pm and forced many fans not to attend. They ran the transit for San Francisco game late into the night. I guess it sucks to live in Oakland.
-
Rios has not pitched in 3 days, he'll pitch the 8th
-
Ottavino had 2 days off prior to last night so he should get the call in the 9th.
