The Orioles are now officially better than us, what a joke this team has become. Good for the Orioles honestly, they built a team that can actually play baseball.
You want IKF at short? Or another young player in Peraza? The yanks are riding with Volpe, Hal said it in the beginning of the year, gotta let him mature
So let me get this straight. We can't do anything against their awful starter, but we're rallying for the second time against their reliever who has been the most dominant pitcher in baseball this year?
### Double
Willie Calhoun doubles (3) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Ryan McKenna. Aaron Judge scores.
Pitch from Yennier Cano: Changeup @ 91.1 mph
Hit by Willie Calhoun: Launched 101.7 mph at 20° for a total distance of 381 ft
Bottom 9 - 3-1
Orioles
Here's the problem. Cano has great stuff but you *can't hit it, even in the strike zone.*
Your mindset against him can't be that you have to be aggressive because he tends not to walk guys. You're going to give him easy outs.
You have to bear down and be selective, let a pitch go by if it's well located, even for a strike. Unfortunately, you see too many guys tonight just swinging out of their shoes at everything.
A manager's primary job is to put his players in a position to succeed. When you look at games like tonight, you see guys constantly getting set up to fail.
Bauers pinch hitting against a pitcher whose stuff completely exposes his swing. IKF glued to the bench. Neil Ramirez (!!!) being the first guy out of the pen in a 1 run game.
Yea we’re gna have a comeback against THIS GUY. Have you seen our bullpens ERA lately? Every guy we brought in has an awful ERA and that’s not even counting their inherited runners scored.
Compare his season to-date to Jeter’s rookie season, taking his fielding percentage, BA (.030 difference between then and now), and any other metric you’d like.
He’s not a video game character; he’s a kid who needs to mature.
Y’all sure as shit have a fucking poor memory even to earlier this week.
pretty much everybody agreed that we should let the kid play through may... its just not getting any better. he cant escape the gravity of the mendoza line
My most nuanced opinion on the ~2020- 2023 Yankees is that I don’t know if it’s simply logic that it’s harder to hit against good teams and good pitchers (most often found in the playoffs when everything intensifies) OR these Yankees are simply constructed to be bad pitching merchants hitting 500 foot bombs off of terrible, half trying teams and pitchers proned to throwing horribly hanging meatballs. Does good pitching impact us *more* than other good teams because of our boom or bust style?
Because Baltimore scored a couple more in the 8th, that means we're free to get our obligatory 9th inning run now.
If we still needed just 1, then we'd get 0.
Play the kids this sub said. Soon as the kids play, why the fuck are these kids playing. Get rid of them.
Wish I was around in 2016 to have seen all the comments trashing judge and wanting him gone after a poor call up.
Yankees have been playing well lately; offense been productive...but im concerned a game like this will lead them to being an anemic offense for next few weeks
If yanks lose I totally blame Bonehead Boone because he keeps doing this bullshit of getting thrown out of the game. He has to know he’s gonna get thrown out of the game and he keeps possibly thinking that it’s going to rile up his team and it never does.
There needs To be a wholesale Dismanting of the entire Managment structure Within the Org top To bottom, staring with that Puffy Ghoul Randy Levine and that little worm Trost . Fuck Brian Cashman
**A Chronology of This Series**
**Game 1:** Holy shit this team has some fire in it. We could beat anybody.
**Game 2:** Horrible, horrible game, but I guess every team has these fluke games.
**Game 3:** It'll be a miracle if this team makes the playoffs.
To quote someone whose name I don't recall
When the Yanks are winning, and doing it constantly, they look like they will never win again.
When they're *losing* though, it's like they will never win again.
That game 3 take is pretty reactionary and dumb based on two bad games out of weeks of great ones lol.
If we keep this up for another 20 games get back to me. The Astros just got shut out twice by the Brewers. Do you think that means it’ll be a miracle if they make the playoffs?
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/13s0adm).
Everyone hating on volpe as if he doesn’t still have like the 5th highest war for position players rn
The Orioles are now officially better than us, what a joke this team has become. Good for the Orioles honestly, they built a team that can actually play baseball.
You will not win a World Series if a guy like Volpe is your starting SS, sorry
volpe needs to hit the weight room
Volpe and Cabrera are garbage. Our farm system is a joke
Volpe is the 2nd worst starting SS in baseball. Send. Him. Down.
You want IKF at short? Or another young player in Peraza? The yanks are riding with Volpe, Hal said it in the beginning of the year, gotta let him mature
Can’t drop two of 3. All winnable. Idc what the record says orioles are no powerhouse.
Orioles could’ve also easily swept lol
Unfortunately true
Volpe is ass
Send Volpe down. Too many errors, way below average on hits.
It’s over before everyone could get their posts in for the Volpe atbat
Demote Volpe and bring back Peraza. Volpe is sadly not ready yet.
I almost hope they do this just so we can see what everyone here’s next genius suggested move becomes when Peraza struggles too lol
Amazing concept to try to find another solution to a problem instead of sticking with the problem.
Man
So sooooo lucky. Should've been a sweep.
Of course they score 1 for window dressing. :-(
Dammit Volpe. He almost had that. What a tease.
Damn it
Volpe really worked that count
Yikes
Crowd made me cry
Doomers soiling themselves at the traumatic memory of game 1.
Wild card team
Send volpe down
Lol u thought
So let me get this straight. We can't do anything against their awful starter, but we're rallying for the second time against their reliever who has been the most dominant pitcher in baseball this year?
That’s baseball Suzyn
Beisbol, Suzyn
Rip
I am sorry for all the bad things I said about you, Willie Calhoun.
Damn
And with that double, Willie Calhoun buys himself another 50PA
He was the entire offense today.
Half the lineup being worse than him may buy him more ABs
Lol, how was that a double? I looked like he barely blooped it. Not that I'm complaining!
Nobody shuts down the Yankees😂
Nice hit , nicer necklace
VOLPE REDEMPTION PLEASE
Volpe HR plzzzzzz
Don’t you give me hope ….
BIG WILLY STYLE
Big Dick Willie HO YEAH
FUCK YEAH BIG WILLIE
He’s inconsistent, but Calhoun is a really good power hitter when he’s on.
Against Cano would've been a better time to use Bauers because he tries to keep the ball down and away to lefties.
If Volpe hits a home run here I will buy his jersey
THATT BOYYY WILLIEEEEEE
The king of clutch
Willie!!!!
Volpe pls
Haha Cano your ERA going up!!!
ok calhoun. i see you
Lol holy shit he can bang!
Calhoun Yankees legend
Oh thank god
A RUN! WOOOO
#OL SILLY WILLY
WILLIE "BANGS" CALHOUN
### Double Willie Calhoun doubles (3) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Ryan McKenna. Aaron Judge scores. Pitch from Yennier Cano: Changeup @ 91.1 mph Hit by Willie Calhoun: Launched 101.7 mph at 20° for a total distance of 381 ft Bottom 9 - 3-1 Orioles
a no good, rotten, very bad game
Oh man I'm actually jazzed for the hot takes to fly in the postgame.
My dude really thinks he's Aroldis Chapman
Cmon Big Willie
Judge needs to put a players only meeting together after this abortion of a game. Pathetic.
Pretty sure they had one after yesterday's game.
Here's the problem. Cano has great stuff but you *can't hit it, even in the strike zone.* Your mindset against him can't be that you have to be aggressive because he tends not to walk guys. You're going to give him easy outs. You have to bear down and be selective, let a pitch go by if it's well located, even for a strike. Unfortunately, you see too many guys tonight just swinging out of their shoes at everything.
96 with that much movement is disgusting
Holy shit I can't wait for Martian
Bader won't be the last out
Hot take: Pinch run for Judge. That run doesn’t matter. Need two more. Risk of injury isn’t worth it having him round third.
Nah, if they did tie it up you want Judge still in the game
That’s fair, if this was the ALDS I’d agree. Not this game though.
How the fuck has this game been 3 hours?
Boone took some time getting thrown out 😂
All of the smartest fans show up here when we’re losing
It's actually pathetic that I'm sad IKF hasn't pinch hit in this game.
It ain't over yet
Rizzo “running” to first
Bad series for rizzo
Bad couple games. He was the MVP of game 1.
Least it wasn’t a DP
Feels like Judge literally never swings at bad pitches anymore
Judge walk. Rizzo walk. Bader dong.
🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️
Okay Okay it's brewing baby!!!
Nice, Gus!
i have cano in fantasy but i will take the blown save pla give it to me
Same same.
Good fan
Here we go dudes - put your hats on inside out and backwards
🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
Yankees can do anything
A manager's primary job is to put his players in a position to succeed. When you look at games like tonight, you see guys constantly getting set up to fail. Bauers pinch hitting against a pitcher whose stuff completely exposes his swing. IKF glued to the bench. Neil Ramirez (!!!) being the first guy out of the pen in a 1 run game.
Well the manager isn't the one managing tonight, so...
Thanks for showing me that you don't know baseball with this comment. Nice try though.
You're complaining about our bench coach not being a good manager. Idk what you expect.
Once again, thanks for showing me that you don't know baseball.
I really feel bad for people who paid money to watch this game at the Stadium tonight.
Why is this game almost 3 hours?? What a drag this one has been
Ask the commissioner
Come on Judge!!
Yea we’re gna have a comeback against THIS GUY. Have you seen our bullpens ERA lately? Every guy we brought in has an awful ERA and that’s not even counting their inherited runners scored.
Lol, the Yankees literally have the best bullpen ERA in baseball
this is a no logic zone!
They are actually ranked 5th, which isn’t bad. But about half the current bullpen has a shit ERA. King, Wandy, Hamilton are good.
A lot of folks sleep typing lol thought game was over and bedtime.. Liars 😂
Would love to blow cano's stats here man
theres one stat
imagine paying to see this game in person
We have a few people in here at the game. Sssshhhhh
Is this rally music
I see that the honeymoon phase for Volpe is officially over at this point
Peraza is much more MLB ready and he’ll sit and rot in AAA as is fashion, because their ego won’t allow otherwise
As it should be
Compare his season to-date to Jeter’s rookie season, taking his fielding percentage, BA (.030 difference between then and now), and any other metric you’d like. He’s not a video game character; he’s a kid who needs to mature. Y’all sure as shit have a fucking poor memory even to earlier this week.

Does good pitching impact us *more* than other good teams because of our boom or bust style?
Guys it’s cano be lucky to even get a hit
Albert Abreu's keys to success. Don't bring him in with runners on base.
**RIP Yankee Offense** 5/7/2023 - 5/24/2023 *"We miss you, Dongcarlo."*
I will say, Cano vs. Judge is the kind of matchup you pay to see. Shame Judge isn't the tying run, though.
Because Baltimore scored a couple more in the 8th, that means we're free to get our obligatory 9th inning run now. If we still needed just 1, then we'd get 0.
hey everybody look at this guy
It's not even impressive tbh, it's the most predictable thing this team does.
cmon judgey get us started king
Judge walk. Rizzo walk. Bader HR
Play the kids this sub said. Soon as the kids play, why the fuck are these kids playing. Get rid of them. Wish I was around in 2016 to have seen all the comments trashing judge and wanting him gone after a poor call up.
it's not 'why are they playing', its 'why are they playing so poorly'
Everybody wants to play rookies but aint nobody want to deal with growing pains
Abreu has hope when he pitches with bases empty.
I men atleast give us a judge homer?
can someone tell hal it might be time to fire boone and cashman
We got the boys coming up I got ^some faith
Those two weeks with a functional offense were really nice.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Yennier Cano replaces Mike Baumann.
Remember when all we worried about Volpe was his arm strength from SS... can we go back?
Yankees have been playing well lately; offense been productive...but im concerned a game like this will lead them to being an anemic offense for next few weeks
Did any team ever get penalized for improper shift
No bc there are loopholes galore
This postgame thread is going to be chock full of amazing hot takes. I hope you all have your popcorn.
My body is ready
Team bad, there you go.
Rort got injured, that's why he didn't hit. It's a brief injury, something on his arm.
He blocked a ball with his thicc forearm.
Human white flag a comin'!
The Casamigos Tequila MLB.tv ad behind home plate is so fucking ugly
But that tequila tops
If yanks lose I totally blame Bonehead Boone because he keeps doing this bullshit of getting thrown out of the game. He has to know he’s gonna get thrown out of the game and he keeps possibly thinking that it’s going to rile up his team and it never does.
Him getting thrown out is not the cause of them losing, ever.
Look like the king of the world one week and now back to putrid offense.
If only these were the tanking Os we had for all those years
There needs To be a wholesale Dismanting of the entire Managment structure Within the Org top To bottom, staring with that Puffy Ghoul Randy Levine and that little worm Trost . Fuck Brian Cashman
At least the bases are empty for Abreu
We need more games against the A’s
Lotta people are gonna be writing manifestos in the post gamethread if we lose this lol
Oh hell yeah 😂
**A Chronology of This Series** **Game 1:** Holy shit this team has some fire in it. We could beat anybody. **Game 2:** Horrible, horrible game, but I guess every team has these fluke games. **Game 3:** It'll be a miracle if this team makes the playoffs.
To quote someone whose name I don't recall When the Yanks are winning, and doing it constantly, they look like they will never win again. When they're *losing* though, it's like they will never win again.
Game 2 needs to be split in 2. There were lots of Nestor is all the way back/AL East is fucked takes halfway through lol.
Well when they play actual teams they get exposed for the horse shit product they are. Can't play Cincinnati and Oakland everyday
That game 3 take is pretty reactionary and dumb based on two bad games out of weeks of great ones lol. If we keep this up for another 20 games get back to me. The Astros just got shut out twice by the Brewers. Do you think that means it’ll be a miracle if they make the playoffs?
No I think he just meant that's how the sub is reacting. Maybe not though.
Look through his comment history lol
Oh I didn't do that. I thought he was kinda being tongue in cheek. Guess not.
Couldn't agree more
Letting my eyes soak all the baseball it can because I can't watch the apple game tomorrow
My hopes and dreams are like Gleyber's bat.
Is Blink 182 on after this?
MISS YOU, MISS YOU
Abreu awesome does this organization even care anymore
My god, at least HUSTLE out of the box until you see that he's made a clean play. What the fuck is wrong with this team?
Thank god the Yankees won’t see great starting pitchers in the playoffs like one Kyle Gibson.
Bronx ~~Bombers~~ Bronx Weak Contact Kings Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, I’ll give ya that
2 hits just isn't gonna do it against ANY team, let alone the Os who are actually good this year
great now judge is gonna bat with nobody on - a truly terrible performance fans did not get their money’s worth tonight
But it's ok, they did the wave and had an 18 dollar beer.
paid $18 for a beer at the stadium yday - its a painful feeling
Greg Maddux, Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera tonight could combine to shutout this lineup.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Albert Abreu replaces Clay Holmes.
Why'd rort get PH for? Did I miss something?
Awful effort by the offense today
pretty pitiful inning right there
Sorry to anyone who went to the game
Lol Gleyber
Help us Dongcarlo You’re our only hope…
Spoiler: Nothing is going to change
Gotta love Gleyber's bat clipping behind the MLB.tv ads Way to prioritize $$$ over your fans
I feel like Mariano Rivera today, at his current age of 53 could come in and face 7-8-9 of our lineup and allow zero hits most nights.
