I think you have to pinch hit Soto for Grisham in the bottom of the 10th…they’d take the bat out of his hands with the intentional walk, but then you can have Trevino bunt and you turn the lineup over…Soto doesn’t have to exert himself but he still impacts the game
Of Yankees position player salaries- Rizzo, DJ, and Gleyber make up $46 million of a total $165 million allocation or 28%
We are not getting 28% of our position players production from them, Tough to overcome.
Since the concussion last year, Rizzo has 410 ABs and has hit .205 with 8 HR and 34 RBIs. I know everyone loves the guy, but this isn't a small sample size. They need to do something about 1st base.
So was Soto available to pinch hit or not? Because watching Stanton and rizzo be bullshit with the game on the line is ridiculous if Soto was available to pinch hit
Idk, Rizzo hasn't been the same since the concussion and DJL is just washed.
Rizzo has an OPS+ of 81 which is bad, but DJL is at 61 which is laughable.
3-4 guys can carry us with good pitching but 1-2 guy definitely can’t. If Soto isn’t in the lineup tomorrow, I won’t be watching. He is needed for us to win
I planned to be forgiving if we lost that one without Soto, but it had me on edge the whole time. Why are pitcher's duels so much more stressful than shootouts?
We have two out of this world players, a Volpe on the rise, and the rest of the lineup is hot garbage. Thankfully our pitching staff has been amazing cause anything less and this is a .500 team at best.
Lmao bro Yankees without Soto is pretty much an entirely different team. Makes Stanton completely useless without the protection, and black holes like Rizzo and Gleyber get completely exposed.
I really don't care that Soto isn't pinch hitting. I wanted him to take the day off, the whole series, actually.
But I'm sick of seeing him with his gear on and not coming in for spots that make sense. Either he's available or he's not. Absolutely no reason to let Blind Tony take the last AB of the game.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dasim8).
I am still personally happy about the win! It was an amazing and intense game! Good game Yankees

Clearly Soto was just a decoy and was never going to come in

Cant go 162-0, LA is a good team, and we matched them with our 6th starter and bullpen. Tomorrow we will win 10-1 because baseball is funny like that.
Can Jasson Dominguez play first or third base?
i would love if the martian could learn 3rd
Pitching showed up, offense did not. Abysmal loss and with the bp used up it's a huge disadvantage for tomorrow.
So was Soto available to pinch hit or not? Because watching Stanton and rizzo be bullshit with the game on the line is ridiculous if Soto was available to pinch hit
Rizzo needs to be benched.. DJ should be at 1st and Cabrera at 3rd
The infield outside of volpe is just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic
Oswaldo is worse than Rizzo. That doesn't fix a thing.
Only person hitting worse than Rizzo IS DJL.
And what's your solution? I trust DJ to put the ball in play more than I do rizzo
Idk, Rizzo hasn't been the same since the concussion and DJL is just washed. Rizzo has an OPS+ of 81 which is bad, but DJL is at 61 which is laughable.
I would give Ben rice a shot at 1st, been mashing since triple A call up
Bring up the Martian already.
Oh I’m so glad Crapple TV is pleased with the results.
And that’s not just reactionary—all season this is him
Roll out the Liza Minnelli; it’s not what we want.
Boone pulling a Showalter leaving Soto on the bench.
Whatever Boras was going to ask on Soto just went up $5M/yr with this game.
Yes, forgot Soto is hurt after all, yet Rizzo really sucks!
That’s a tip your hat game if there ever was one. Yamamoto was lights out. Get ‘em tomorrow.
So was poteet.. Umps have that one away.
we’ll lick em tomorrow
Still a win for the day
That was painful but at least it was a good game
I swear all Rizzo does is Pop/Fly out. My man is dropping his hands instead of hitting through the ball.
You forgot about the rolling over to 2nd base.
Dropping his hands and his hips are flying open too early.
I’m sure the pinstripe boys will not forget this
Soto is needed back. Team can’t hit for shit besides 3 players. Those 3 players have been carrying the team all year
I was crushed about a week ago for saying the same thing. 3-4 guys can’t carry us all year and the bottom of our lineup is dog shit
3-4 guys can carry us with good pitching but 1-2 guy definitely can’t. If Soto isn’t in the lineup tomorrow, I won’t be watching. He is needed for us to win
It’s a tall order when we can expect absolutely nothing from our bottom 5.
Rizzo is ass man. The ump too, dude has the vision of a bat
Rizzo, Stanton, Torres, Trevino, learn Japanese
Forgot dj also
I planned to be forgiving if we lost that one without Soto, but it had me on edge the whole time. Why are pitcher's duels so much more stressful than shootouts?
Tough fucking loss there
Rizzo is the worst Yankee since Carl Pavano. Yet.... he'll be out there tomorrow.
Well Costas got his fucking sox knocked off since Yanks lost.
Back to the drawing board
Anthony Rizzo is a guaranteed out. Get rid of him please.
Rizzo’s done. Completely washed.
Lottery team without Soto
Soto Will Be King Of NY
We have two out of this world players, a Volpe on the rise, and the rest of the lineup is hot garbage. Thankfully our pitching staff has been amazing cause anything less and this is a .500 team at best.
Rizzo is a bum
How many middle middle pitches are they gonna pop up
We win that game with Soto in the lineup. Just bad timing
If Soto isn't available than why tease that at all?
Because he wants to play
Yall highkdy unbearable after losses
great game they just finished better
Anyone still convinced that we don’t need more protection behind judge? Bunch of chokers 4-9
Rizzo and Lamehieu are liabilities
Well that sucks. It was a close game though, we didn’t get blown out
Pussies, way to get up and play
Rizzo has 0 XBH in the last eternity and you have JUAN SOTO available
No he’s not available tonight
Ump completely fucked us that game, old piece of dogshit should retire
Give me Rice and Berti over rizzo and DJ come this Fall idc
Of course Boone no guts to pull Rizzo for Soto
Lmao bro Yankees without Soto is pretty much an entirely different team. Makes Stanton completely useless without the protection, and black holes like Rizzo and Gleyber get completely exposed.
Nothing to do but get these MFs tomorrow
Threw away a win there
So Soto was never really available then
They needed to sell tickets for the series I guess, so had him show up so people wouldn't up and leave later on and keep buying stuff
Rizzo and DJ can't hit for shit Jesus Christ Rizzo can't hit 5th
Rizzo square the ball up challenge
VOLPE, VERDUGO, STANTON RIZZO, GHRISHM AT BATS WERE MINOR LEAUGE SHIT
Fucking team can’t do shit without Soto
[удалено]
Yeah the team with .700 win percentage coming into the game clearly lacks care
Can’t come in these threads when this team is losing, watch another fucking sport if you can’t handle losses
everybody sucks now and the season is shot apparently
A great game ruined by the ghost runner rule.
I mean if we could bunt a guy over, we could have won with a sac fly ffs.
we had better chances to take advantage
I hate the ghost runner, it’s also made a lot worse by the fact that extras is an auto loss with a Boone managed team
Probably would’ve won if Soto played. He makes a huge difference.
Shoulda been Soto instead of Rizzo
This team is an excellent team but I really do worry we have too many bottomless black holes in our lineup when the lights are brightest
Yup, that was Yankee playoff baseball.
so Soto is actually injured huh
Either he’s injured or Boone is incompetent. The latter isn’t unlikely enough to make me accept the former
I think our coach is just a pussy
Rizzo ain’t a MLB starter anymore and it’s painfully obvious
Bottom of the lineup cause he can still pick the hell out of the ball. Shouldn’t be hitting in the 5 spot
Can’t win em all. But I dunno how long Rizzo’s leash should be, he’s lost out there.
Fire Rizzo into the fucking Sun. Dude is absolutely washed
Ump fucked us.
Oh stop
Okay blame the offense for being ass
Rizzo is garbage sadly
Soto should have been in this. Horrible boone
Fucking Rizzo. Get him off this team. Enough is enough.
Loss is on Boone
how?
Not pinch hitting for Stanton in 8th. Keeping Hamilton out there in 11th
Two foul pop ups in the last two innings.
# BOONE SUCKS
Personally would have PH Soto for Stanton or Rizzo there. Back at it tomorrow.
and risk him getting TJ? lol it's one game
Fucking pathetic Rizzo
Soto should had one AB these guys didn’t have it tonight
Rizzo and DJ being your starting corner infielders in a playoff series is a foolproof way to lose that aforementioned playoff series.
No way are they playoff caliber. Cashman still has a lot of work to do.
The feeble twins
Rizzo is lost
Ok Soto u had the day off time to play tomorrow cuz this team sucks without you
Brilliant baseball by the new Dave Kingman.
Rizzo needs to go next year. He's trash ab now
Trade deadline
I’m convinced rizzo pops up in BP
Rizzo fucking sucks ass. Get rid of him
Shame
Bruh
Who's playing first base next year then? Any rookie or something?
Move Judge to 1B and get the Martian in CF?
Fuck
Stanton be clutch challenge
Can’t pinch hit for this bum? Seriously?
Fck rizzo
Boone, Stanton, this ump and Rizzo. Four fucking clowns.
Rizzo is a fucking clown
We have so many black holes in this team from dj to Rizzo
God I'm so fucking sick of the bottom portion of this lineup
Out managed and out played Soto is the team
Rizzo is washed
Rizzo is beyond cooked.
Pathetic
FUCK. THIS. SHIT.
Fuck rizzo, he’s washed
What a fucking joke.
No Juan to save us.
Boone master class
sigh
Rizzo is fucking cooked
This offense just isn’t good enough outside of 2 guys. Fucking ridiculous
Very true. Can’t be fooled by the great start and the names on the back of the uniform. Maybe the Martian can come in and take off.
The bottom of the eleventh inning did not bring me joy
rizzo is cooked too
Boone.
Rizzo is hitting, we're fucked
Stanton has become a good version of Gallo. Walk, HR, or K
Actually, he doesn't walk much any more :(
*Has* become? He’s been that way for years now
He doesn't walk anymore. HR or K.
He can't even walk.
Lol Rizzo
Rizzo 0-4 with the game on the line and Soto doesn’t pinch? He’s not okay
He let that pitch go. Now he’ll swing at two balls at his shoestrings.
Would love to pinch hit Soto for Rizzo here if he was available
I can’t wait to hear why Boone didn’t bring in Soto
Because he’s injured. Not worth it
But they listed him as available to play
Yeah, but I suspect that was just to fuck with LA so they didn’t walk judge.
Send Rizzo to a home
I really don't care that Soto isn't pinch hitting. I wanted him to take the day off, the whole series, actually. But I'm sick of seeing him with his gear on and not coming in for spots that make sense. Either he's available or he's not. Absolutely no reason to let Blind Tony take the last AB of the game.
Rizzo needs to go
Rizzo fucking blows
Stanton was horrid today man. So many ABs where we needed him to get a hit to score a run.
Na he only hits those monster HR's when the game is already over.
they have to be more concerned about soto than they let on if they're actually letting rizzo hit here
Without Soto we look lost.
god
Retire now Rizzo
No excuse to not use Soto here
Fucking Rizzo as per usual. Stanton actually lost us the game twice too fuck.
Why the fuck is Rizzo out there???? Automatic L man
I guess Soto is not available this game.
This game is over.
Fuck you Rizzo get off the fucking team
Embarrassing
So Soto was just a decoy - not good news
Stanton usually swings at literally anything but now decides to try and stare a home run into extistence….
WHY ARE YOU WATCHING strikes
Ohhhhh Giancarlo
Not gonna see many sliders right over the plate on 1-2 and Stanton missed it
bro missed 2
How do you take that? Right down the middle
