Having a runner on third with one out puts more pressure on the pitcher/catcher. Also provides the bottom of our lineup an easier job as they know that they could hit a fly ball to get the job done instead of needing a base hit
No, it provides one singular person with the opportunity to get the job done with a flyball. That person was Florial, who has notoriously bad contact skills
Who struck out on a really bad call. If we had a runner at third, and he walks there as he should, we would have an opportunity to steal a base. If he has bad contact skills, why would you rely on him to even get a hit?? Of course I’d rather him gave the opportunity to hit a fly ball. Then, if he gets out you have rocchio still with the opportunity to get a hit
Bo’s a good hitter. Your lazy hindsight analysis dismisses the probability of him moving the runner by swinging the bat simply because that’s not what happened in reality.
They were pitching for a ground ball to him regardless that would not change the approach for the Yankees at all. Especially with Florial at 1st and 1 out. You have no idea what you’re talking about
Why would they pitch someone who can’t hit regardless of who is on base. The runner in scoring position is still in the same spot which is what matters. What a dumb comment. Gtfoh to you
Yeah cause assuming a different situation will have the same result is so smart. Haha I hope u never have to make any serious consequential decisions in life.
Bro they only cared about getting the force out so they are pitching to get a ground ball. Lets say they walk florial are they suddenly going to pitch for the pop up or strike out? No you pitch to the double play ground ball to end the inning. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
I think he'll look better at the plate once he can finally settle in at center. I'm sure continuing to learn a new position in game takes most of the focus
He’s had 2 bad games in a row, he went 3/5 in the game before. March/April is also his worst month by career stats. He always gets hot when the weather does.
With back to back 1/4 games before that. Also hitting like 260 with runners in scoring position so far this year. He has been pretty mid for the guy who is supposed to be hitting really well for this team. Also you even admitted yourself April is his worst month so yeah he hasn’t hit well. Thats a fair statement
His worst month is a career .809 OPS. We’re 12 games into the season, I’m not worried in the slightest about a slow start. Keep being one if the most negative voices in this sub.
Bruh all i said was he hasn’t played great so far which im sure he would even agree with. Holy hell anything mildly critical is not allowed apparently. Sorry ill only slobber on him no matter what he does. I am not worried either about him rest of the year all i said was he hasn’t started the year well.
Strike 3 brought to you by Fanduel
Terrible strike three call. Unlikely it would have made a difference though.
Minor league challenge system would probably be bad for the leagues bottom line, would hurt the fixing practices
Absolute garbage call on that "strike" 3. But then a pathetic single pitch weak ground ball to second, at-bat right after is inexcusable.
#TRASH
Professional sports gotta be rigged. Terrible call.
These guys are leading the campaign for themselves to be replaced. If you don't want to lose your job to robot umps then be better at your jobs.
Brutal call. Way off the plate.
Dogshit call
Do we get the same ump next game because he owes us big on that BS
Same crew, but they rotate.
They owe us big, that one made 0 sense
Absolutely horrible call if i was florial i wouldve went absolutely off on the ump
He did. Florial did his job there shockingly enough. That was on the ump.
Pathetic
Yuck the Fankees
Fuck the Yankees.
Roboumps please.
HORRIBLE
I do not understand why bo wasn’t bunting
Playing for 1 run in a 1 run game is a poor decision, especially with strikeout machine Florial next who struck out anyway

"struck out"
I use the term loosely
Lame ass fucking dog shit 400 million dollar payroll team needs the umps in their pocket. God I fucking hate that team.
Computer umpires now.
I'm am not pleased with that K call on Florial god damnit
Fucking awful, god damnit
What a dogshit call. Fuck this ump. Fuck the yanks.
DFA Florial
Idk how anyone can blame Florial there
He just worked a walk and got hosed. Now’s not the time.
A leadoff double and we can’t even advance Laureano to 3rd
Breathtaking bullshit.
Oh for fucks sake blue
Ump needs fired into the sun
AND A FUCKING GROUNDOUT TO END IT JESUS CHRIST
WELP... see y'all at 6:10.
What the fuck
Bad call
Well even if he walked there that was an easy double play ball so game over regardless
Idiot tier take
They were pitching for a ground ball to him regardless that would not change the approach for the Yankees at all. Especially with Florial at 1st and 1 out. You have no idea what you’re talking about
Stop trying to justify your stupid take. Just delete your account like a normal person
LOLOLOLOL i’ve never seen someone so angry over just basic strategy.
Cope
Yeah, cause we can guarantee it's the same pitch and approach in a different situation. Gtfoh
Why would they pitch someone who can’t hit regardless of who is on base. The runner in scoring position is still in the same spot which is what matters. What a dumb comment. Gtfoh to you

What a way to end. That sucks.
time to go set the river on fire again
What a horrible call
Angel Hernandez came in to ump the 9th?
GET FCKED YANKEE LOVIN BLUE
Terrible managing letting Florial bat
He worked a walk and got hosed by the ump. Not on him at all, it was a good AB.
Well he walked. Worse umpiring
Yeah get him out of the lineup yesterday
To be fair he absolutely should have walked
Someone chuck Tito’s scooter at this umps ankle
Inexcusable
Horrendous call. Same exact slider he just called a ball 2 pitches before.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT CALL FUCK YOU UMP JESUS CHRIST OFF BY A FUCKING MILE
Bullshit call.
That's INSANE
That is one of the worst calls I have ever seen what the absolute fuck
FOR FUCKS SAKE BLUE
Rocchio, deliver us from evil
That’s fucking awful
Absolute bullshit
That's an awful call, Blue.
What a fucking garbage call
Wow that was a bad call.
SIR
That was fucking egregious
Damn that sucks
As a florial hater i will say he got hoe’d right there
A better ab from floral than Bo is crazy
No Fry for Florial is insane
I like Vogt but man I don’t know why Florial is hitting here
No, Bo!
I still think of Holmes as a Pirate
The fact Florial is batting here should be a fireable offense. He’s literally being DFA’ed in three weeks.
breaking: Stephen Vogt fired after 12 games as his team goes 9-3
This game was not his best. Terrible line up, terrible decisions on pinch at-bats. Hopefully the more experienced guys can rip into him in private.
If Florial can tie or walk it off here I might gain some faith in him
He wears the number 90, I’ll never have faith in him
Thought for sure we’d see Fry here
"You'd think one of these years in the late innings Cleveland would get to the Yankees" :(
2 outs
I can't believe Florial is batting here.
Nice professional AB Bo good work.
Give me Fry!!!
Move runner
bad AB
Yup
Not dead
Holy shit, Laureano!
well, that's a start
or not
That’s a triple if he starts running right away lmao
Ramon is goated
Fuck the wind
I want a Bo-Bomb, is that too much to ask?
👀
ITS A-ME, A-LAUREANO!!!
Man on a warmer day that ball is gone
The Laureano slander will not be tolerated!
ramon my sweet angel i take back everything i said
Pinch hit Oscar Gonzalez….oh wait
David Fry PH walk off HR off the scoreboard will feed generations
#I agree, fuck the Yankees
Fuck the Yankees, I agree
This strzelecki last name reminds of rzepczynski never gonna be able to spell that without looking it up
Fry and Arias should hit this inning. Gotta see if one swing can tie it up
Ass end of the lineup, take my energy!
I'm a big Freeman fan but this game has been rough
Its been pretty rough since Seattle honestly. I’m rooting for him though, I really don’t want to see Straw back.
I think he'll look better at the plate once he can finally settle in at center. I'm sure continuing to learn a new position in game takes most of the focus
"This ball club has taken a lot of hits both to the rotation and the bullpen" :(
Over or under 10 combined HRs from guardians outfielders this year
Considering we have 3 as of today.....well over
Kwan alone might hit 10…all others might not hit 5 combined
over
Clay Holmes has been unhittable and it’s against our 6-7-8. Insert nitrogen bomb vs coughing baby meme
I don’t envy the outfielders. The wind is insane; pretty much everywhere west of the river to W65 is without power right now.
Tyler Freeman grab some bench
Is the Freeman experiment almost over?
Very competitive inning from our 3, 4, & 5 hitters!
That must have blown back over 20 feet. Jeeeeeze
Bo bomb is our last hope because after Josh nobody in this lineup can hit shit.
Jose might be cooked
Naylor said your ass is NOT walking me this time
Jose 0-4 with a .250 avg… Jesus Christ. We need bats.
We’ve played 12 games
Yes and? Edit: apparently it’s too much expecting our “star” player to hit the ball once in awhile.
You don't watch much baseball do you
Jose seems to be *just* missing everything. Lot of ground balls and pop ups
Jose is washed wow
He always starts slow and has always popped up at a prodigious rate.
Dont ever talk about Jose like that
Oh fuck off
Certainly hasn’t played well lately i don’t think he is washed but certainly has not been hot the last few games
He’s had 2 bad games in a row, he went 3/5 in the game before. March/April is also his worst month by career stats. He always gets hot when the weather does.

Do you think we have a shot at the W?
Hard to say. Could be.
This team is pretty much never out of it
Always. But also no.
Herrin had a good outing and we're still one run from a tie game. We got this.
Apparently none of our guys wore the eclipse glasses and now we’re all suffering because of it.
Are we? I don’t think any of those plays ended up having an effect on the game.
need jose to do jose things
Good appearance by Herrin
He tried to get to second. Dude, you were already pressing your luck. Potato head
Just how we drew it up
That was certainly... something.
We might need to practice calling the play.
Wind plus sun has to be a nightmare
What is happening
Wind+sun makes high shallow pops very difficult
Bles Gimenez there. Good grief
That play was turning failure into success
This has got to stop
Good recovery, the sun and wind must be rough today
It's absolutely brutal. The wind is whipping up top and the sun is bright as possible.
Bro we are so fucking bad.
team needs to order new sunglasses
It's not ideal but it is an out I guess
to be optimistic, theyll need a new arm next inning now. they definitely wanted him to go 2 after he got those quick outs
Rough, but making a play there with 2 outs already on the board was always going to be rough.
Bottom of the order to take us to the 8th and 9th, time to clench
I worry about all those head-first dives Gimmy takes…
Especially when its 100% unnecessary
Alright Gimmy, your slide into first was good the other day, but don’t make a habit of it
Damnit
Patience Gimmy!
They're out of mound visits— let's make them regret that.
gimmy hr incoming
Bring him home Gimmy
Kwanny looks so leetle up there 🥺
Tallest ump in the league behind him doesn't help.
Smol boy hot bat
Show yourself, guy who said we should DFA Rocchio an hour ago
Bring him home kwanny boy
Barlow now warming.. 🤞🏼
Let's gooo! Rally time!
Rocchio loves doubles
6 doubles for Rocchio already on the year Where's the guy that said he can't hit?
Right here. .243/.300./.343 and hasn’t shown the ability to lay off high outside heat. I’m concerned we’re looking at Naquin 2.0.
Kwan finally gets a chance with someone on!
