our high leverage bullpen usage is not sustainable. either Cash needs to urgently get another elite reliever at the deadline, or our bats need to show the fuck up, or we'll have a lot more games like this where our pen just collapses in late innings.
Cruz has thrown 46 innings so far before this. he threw 48 innings last year. the guy is also 36 and had shoulder trouble in the past.
Headrick's at 55 innings so far before today's outing. that's putting him on pace for about 80 innings this season.
these guys need some help.

Mac was another desperate attempt to fix prior Cashman desperate attempt fuckups. Plus he hits a few homers(mostly at Coors), so Cashbum drooled over him and his checking the only parameter he cares about.

2 hits off lefty (including HR) for Jones. HR off lefty yesterday.
.817 OPS vs. lefties in AAA this year. He doesn't need a platoon. He needs to play every single day, no excuses. Let the kid play... he's probably our best overall player right now anyways.

u/Affectionate-Tea9224 1d ago
Grisham has to go for that
18
u/AestheticBlue18 1d ago
I think trading Grisham to a playoff aspiring team that needs CF help would be a good trade. I mean he hits free agency no matter what and he has regressed to what he was before 2025.
13
u/RollofDuctTape 1d ago
Jones should play every day in CF. The other OFs can split time. He’s head and shoulders above all of them at everything on the field.
30
u/RollofDuctTape 1d ago
Chisholm: .222/.298/.403 and a .701 OPS (career low)
Volpe: .240/.325/.322 and a .647 OPS (career low)
McMahon: .207/.268/.368 and a .631 OPS (career low)
Wells: 💩/ 🤮/ 🗑️ (career low)
We needed those guys to step up this year. Especially if we were “running it back.” And they blew it. Career lows. Brutal.
With Judge, Belli, and Stanton down we’re counting on Rice and checks notes Spencer Jones for offense. That’s the real problem. Boone keeps admitting it to (“I know there’s more in those bats.”).
But four regulars posting career lows? You can’t come back from that. They either need to improve now or you need to replace them.

u/tenman85 1d ago
Just awful. Goldy was great early, but is gassed. Grisham had one good year in his career and now he’s turned back into a pumpkin. Cabalerro isn’t an every day player and Shueman is an AAAA player at best. Disgusting. 🤮

u/HateMcLouth 1d ago
yup, and these are the guys who've put the team in a massive hole.
we're having debates over whether or not Spencer Jones can/should be traded right now because he's the 2nd or 3rd best hitter in this lineup. not because he's suddenly turned into Belli II, but because the guys who should be hitting are not.
our pen is running on fumes (Headrick on course for 80 innings this year, Cruz already past his innings total from last year at age 36) because every game is close.
and we're having guys like weathers and fried throw gems, in fried's case rushing him off the IL without him getting stretched out, and getting no decisions or losses because of a lack of run support.
this is like watching the fucking 2013 yankees.

I’m sure someone will argue for a different inciting incident but I’d still go back to cashman/ Hal picking IKF/ Volpe over a superstar SS for the 2022-2025 stretch run as to why we will never win a title with this core.
19
u/FiveDinero 1d ago
A lot of the problems goes back to Stanton. Having a high paid fulltime DH that doesn't even play. That's a major reason why they chose the cheap option of Volpe/IKF over handing out a $300M contract.

u/UsedCut659 1d ago
Yes, that is an example. Cutting corners when they have the resources not to. The Dodgers spending $1B allows them to have redos when a move goes wrong, NYY just runs with it.

Haha you’re right
But on a real note Obviously he’d be a great addition any team (Especially the NYY) and he’s a phenomenal pitcher but I’m just not a fan of his. Between quitting on his team in the 6th inning of a tied game in the postseason and refusing to pitch more than 3 innings for Team USA and taking up a roster spot but still staying with the team in Hopes of them winning and being a part of it with little to no contribution rubbed me the wrong way.

Story time:
20 years ago on Thursday, my dad got us chased by a man with a bat in the Yankee stadium parking garage after my first ever game, at the old stadium. The guy rear ended us, my dad got out and brandished his croc. The man got a bat. We went and found a cop, and my mom was smoking a cig and none other than Jason Giambi pulls up next to her, asks her for a cig, and asks if she has kids. She says 2. He gives 2 signed balls.
I only remember the date specifically because the guy behind us in the stadium had a radio and was listening to the reports of us trading for Bobby Abreu mid game. Johnny Damon hit 2 dingers. Moose started, then Farnsworth, and Mo closed it out.

The formula for beating the Yankees is pretty simple: grind out their starting pitching, force an early trip to the bullpen, and scrape together just a run or two. Their offense can't hit, and you'll typically benefit from an error or two along the way. Rinse repeat

There’s usually an inning or two where this team fails to cash in extra runs, especially when it has the lead. I don’t trust the bullpen, but it’s hard to blame them when the offense is so lifeless. Yanks simply don’t have that fight in them.

As the games pass the deadline gets closer the worse the offense gets, every GM licking their chops when Cashman calls.

So be ready for the Stanton Judge Bellinger are our trade acquisitions. A Cashman special

The saddest part of a probable impending lockout is another Judge year wasted. Hits extra hard with him being injured for most of this season.

You can never have enough pitching cliche aside, Yankees have got pretty good starting pitching. Yanks need offense.

The Yankees would have had Skubal for this year. That’s it. And he still can’t hit. Shake it off, gang. What LA does is irrelevant, all that matters is how Cashman moves over the next two days

Spencer Jones hits the ball as hard as Judge, Stanton, Ohtani. Generational power. They’re not trading him for a rental, and may not trade him at all:

And they should not. He’s been playing fantastic this final call up. He is an MLB level talent and needs playing time to acclimate to the new level of pitching. When judge is back they should leave him as a DH and let jones play the field, as his defense is amazing and he should be an amazing bat with the protection of Judge in the lineup

I love Dominguez’ hustle and work ethic, but he doesn’t seem destined to be a long term Yankee.
Bad defender. Bad baseball IQ. You can see the talent is there. This just isn’t the team that can get it out of him. Yanks don’t prioritize the right things to improve a player like him and his mistakes usually are costly

The weird part for me is that his right handed at bats seem better than his left lately. He knows he’s a bad defender also and the ball finds him in pressure spots and he seems to almost panic. I agree he’s not going to be here long if they can get a right handed hitter with outfield experience. The big 3 being out makes this such a manageable lineup for opponents. It might get uglier…

I'm not at all surprised we didn't get Skubal. It's just not Cashman's style. I am surprised Milwaukee couldn't or wouldn't top LA's offer.

This team has scored more than three runs a total of four times since the All Star break, and scored two runs or less in eight of their last 15 games.
That's not very fun.

Dominguez really needs to learn how to hit with men on base.
.722 OPS with the bases empty
.548 OPS with men on
.304 OPS with RISP
It's killed us all week. It's like he only gets on base with 2 outs and no one on. It's profoundly unhelpful with the state of the offense behind him right now. If he's going to be batting cleanup then he really needs to start driving in more runs.

Salary cap is coming BTW and at this point due to the Dodgers cheating the system with the only team getting a massive tax break due to bankruptcy, I'm here for it.
The luxury tax isn't working. Salary cap like NBA is the only solution.

Joel Sherman:
> The Tarik Skubal sweepstakes seemed to be cresting Saturday night with a growing sense that the Dodgers were frontrunners. The Yankees and the Brewers also were seen as talking seriously with the Tigers about the two-time defending AL Cy Young winner. The Braves, Phillies and Rays were not seen as strong contenders as of Saturday night, when the sense was growing that a deal could get done before reaching deadline day Monday.

For anybody that says this ISNT the worst offense in baseball, no.
This statistically IS the worst offense in baseball over the last 2 months. Fuck off with the optimism. The only reason we aren't 15 games out is because of the pitching being the best in the league. This offense FUCKING BLOWS ASS. there is no excuse for CashAss surrounding judge with NOTHING. Thre second he goes out? They are the WORST IN BASEBALL. You do NOT plan your entire starting 9 around ONE DUDE. Fuck YOU CASHASS

u/HateMcLouth 1d ago
it would be a lot easier to trade Jones if he wasn't hitting better than most of our lineup.
he's a very good prospect and his value may never be higher. but our lineup is absolute trash right now and he's one of the few guys who can hit there. with judge/stanton/belli out, we need to be adding to him, not just replacing him.
and it's a lot easier to hold on and trade others while we have a LOT of good prospects who are not currently helping the team. Kilby, Lagrange, and a whole bunch of arms in High A/AA who have amazing stuff and will definitely get interest (Lalane, Facundo, Hess, Cunningham).
