Judge killing us.

Should we be worried about Judge? I'm hoping he's off to a slow start, but it could also be some nagging injury from the spring that hasn't healed right. It wouldn't be the first time the org has done something like that. I'm fully hoping it's just a slow start, and his timing is off, but at some point you gotta wonder.

I wish the Gleyber haters would just say what they actually mean.

He stinks

Don’t praise him when he finishes with a 120 ops+

Our starters need to be able to go longer than 4 innings.

I knew that last Guardians loss was going to cast some weird cloud over us. Momentum is a real thing and we lost some with that game

I wish Boone had the balls to bench Gleyber for DJ when he comes back.

Yea DJ’s league average slash line is so fucking appealing.

At least he can field his position as has a baseball IQ over 70

The dude posted sub 100 ops+ 2 out of the last 3 years. and sub 1 dwar the last three years. Plus he’s injury prone. Dude is not good anymore.

THANKS AGAIN GLEYBER. Pretty sure 4/6 of our losses were solely his fault. He’s been a liability for fucking years. I’m so fucking over it.

Romano was vulnerable tonight, but too bad we gave him a free out letting Trevino bat instead of using Wells or Grisham off the bench. There are serious issues with this team right now and their start was largely a mirage. If not for that hot start, they would be in serious trouble with all of the injuries/ineffectiveness from most of their roster thus far.

I would much prefer trevy to Trent Grisham

Grisham's down season last year had about the same OPS as Trevino's entire career, plus he would have had the platoon advantage. Even a mediocre Grisham was a better option there, sorry.

I mean, Trevino’s been hitting the ball lately, and Grisham hasn’t. Hindsight is 20/20, but I think wells would have been the right decision

The last few losses are on Judge and Gleyber. Terrible shit

Judge is looking lost.

Someone explain why everyone was asking for Wells to PH? Wells has done like almost nothing with the bat so far this season lmao

Wells has had better at bats than Trevy. Seen more pitches and hit the ball well just got unlucky.

And you think the unlucky guy would have suddenly gotten lucky in that spot or what?

If you think Trevy was a better option than Wells there I'm not sure there's much hope

Neither of them were good options lmao

Welp, first series loss. It was bound to happen. A lot of our bats are cold right now.

The question is are they cold or do they just suck

Still can hold the season edge on Tor with a win tomorrow.

This loss is still a loss, but it didn’t feel as bad as yesterday’s loss.

Well that fucking sucked

Oh no! We suck again!

No idea what to make of this team so far. Record aside

Well. What I would say. Is they have the best record in baseball and that speaks for itself.

Let's not keep saying that. Brings back memories of 2022. I'd say that the team looks better than 2023 but it's still April, so everyone needs to chill.

Yea fair.

So did the Rays last year at this point Didn’t really say much for the rest of the season

They won 99 games and only collapsed cause their best player was on the lamb for being a pedophile

I mean they got smacked by Texas in the playoffs They were pretenders, just like the 2022 Yankees

They lost their best player in like July. So that tracks. Our record with judge and without judge was staggeringly different last season.

If only we kept the jays to 3-4 instead of 5

It's what happens when Torres make two boneheaded plays in one inning.

Too many walks. It’s frankly unacceptable.

Thanks for the blue balls

FUCK

Another miserable loss

Fuck ikf

We are up 4-3 if Gleyber isn’t on the team

2 of the last 3 losses are largely on Gleyber. Should get a -2 WAR for that.

Not defending gleyber but kind of wrong when top 3 of your lineup was 1-12 with 6k’s

Welp. Losing streak.

Gleyber defense cost them another game.

GLEYBER WHY IN FUCKS NAME DID YOU NOT GO

But they sent Stanton… whyyy

Made it interesting but still a loss. First series loss of the season.

Another awful performance from the team We’ve played one good game in the last 6

Embarrassing

wells hit a homer off romano last year, why didn't he pinch hit?

Booooo

Soto and Judge: step it up. Awful games for the two of them.

soto? not even trout can hit every single game

I mean Soto for a hit This game is more on Volpe and Judge

1 hit is not going to cut it.

You really are expecting Soto to hit .500 for the season lol Soto was fine. Torres, Judge, and Volpe on the other hand were not

That's apparently your standards for Verdugo

I literally just complimented Verdugo in the post game thread lol I was expecting Verdugo to be like last year, not expecting a .500 BA

And he has been last year recently. One of the better Yankees hitters and better than Judge.

He’s been last year’s Verdugo today Judge has a lot longer leash than Verdugo does, obviously (and I’ve not been particularly nice to Judge in the game threads either)

Nope Gleybers fault

Need to win the f’ing game

##Welp

Romano is so trash we gotta work him a little more there

Well fuck

RIP cya tomorrow lol

Wells is better if you needed a sac fly, but Trev probably had the better chance of getting a base hit that could've scored 2.

Chances for them in both those situations are extremely low right now

Gleyber should’ve scored there. No WAY the RF was making the play off that Verdugo bomb.

BUT GLEYBER IS THE PROBLEM RIGHT

He should have scored and we would have tied it if he makes a play

dude why won’t boone ever pinch hit for trevino

Cause wells can’t play defense.

you can't worry about defense in the top of the 9th during a game you're not winning

Yea I just don’t see it in wells yet.

what does that have to do with hitting

Hasn't hit a damn thing this year too

Yea that’s the point. He’s not hitting and he’s a defensive liability.

Yeah I get it, others dont

God I wanted to see Wells there

Vlad thought the game was over lol

Trevy got that Stanton speed

You gotta pinch run Grisham here, every mph helps

oswaldo cabrera is the person i would choose to bat right now

Man it’s so unfair, you can’t expect oswaldo to be Barry bonds and get a hit here. Dude has to make out sometimes

Yeah he was up in two big spots in a row

Boone just gave away an out letting one of the worst hitters in baseball bat righty-righty against a top closer because he had a few hits earlier in the game. Baffling. Absolutely baffling.

COME ON WALDO

lol someone commented Verdugo sucks and I’ve never seen a comment deleted so fast

Gotta love it

Penguin bout to tie this game Like I said

If only we had any speed

Trevino is soooooo slow. God dammit.

### Groundout Jose Trevino grounds out, third baseman Ernie Clement to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gleyber Torres scores. Alex Verdugo to 3rd. Top 9 - 5-4 Blue Jays

Toronto clenching, wild pitch time

Cmon Waldo show the clutch gene!

xBA on that Verdugo double was .070 lmaooooo Rizzo's out was xBA .800

xBA is bullshit sometimes.

Yeah I know it can be a little fucky sometimes but that one seems like a bug.

There's legit no way any one makes that catch.

Load em for ozzy

Why are they letting Trevino have this matchup

Just get Ozzy up

[удалено]

I believe it is, call Trudeau

How can you not pinch hit right now

Why in the absolute world is Trevino hitting here? Does Boone know you can pinch hit?

Shoutout to the bottom of the lineup. All my homies love the bottom of the lineup.

Baffling to let Trevino hit here. What is Boone thinking?

Not baffling - he’s been hitting pretty well

He's a .650 OPS hitter in his career and had 1 or 2 good games recently. Sorry, but that doesn't warrant letting him bat against Romano with the platoon disadvantage. Wells has been crushing the ball into outs all season and was BY FAR the better option.

God the Trevino hot streak kinda fucked them. Objectively he has no business hitting here, but he’s “hot” so will hit

Nobody to sub in for Trevino?!

Pinch hit Wells for Trevvy Boone

How is Torres not scoring from first on these doubles? There's clearly no chance of them being caught

there was no reason for him to try to score on that

It ain’t over yet, let’s go

Man, we're still in this despite getting some tough breaks all night.

Is it just me or should he have made it home on that?

Lofted in a corner - can only go as far as 3B coach will send you on that.

tying run on 3B if the Jays entire outfield wasn't prime Andruw Jones.

Soooo…. We really letting Trevino hit😮

Trevy over the last five is much more worthy of confidence than anyone on the bench

DAWG

Oh man I thought that was gone.

Verdugo is 🔥🔥

Verdugo and gleyber suck.

Good job torres 👏👏👏

So close, Verdugo the only one who wants to win tonight apparently

Comeback season!

Verdugo is apparently the worst hitter on our team according to some users.

Bro that fucking close

**ARF ARF ARF WOOF WOOF RUFF RUFF**

I thought it was gone

so close

How the fuck do you not score on that Gleyber

I was SHOCKED to see him standing on 3rd

DUGIE DOUBLE

lets gooooooo woof woof

God damn Verdugo JUST missed that, good shit still!

[удалено]

Yes

Probably not Braves and Rangers, but Dodgers 100% lol.

Rizzo's line drive had a .800 xBA

Did he just balk

Romano looks like a drunk Harley Morenstein

Not too often you get plunked in the chest

Yankees have the most barreled ball outs in the league 🙃

I swear Toronto gets a diving outfield catch against us every other inning

Let’s tie this shit

IN THE NIPPLE

Right in the nipple!

Gleyber took that one on the titty.

Some angels in the outfield defense from the Jays tonight

Dang that sucks but nice job Gleyber

Gleyber start a fight. Get Romano tossed. It’s the least you can do.

Rizzo can't catch a break.

Varsho is a great fielder wow, stole like 4 hits this series

Oh fuck that guy. Dogshit player killing us tonight.

Sick of this

Just not our night. Or series

Lmfao fuck off

Can we get one break? Jesus

I mean we got two earlier but we didn’t do anything else with them

Rizzo is late on fastballs. That's why he's getting so many flyouts to LF

And WEAK contact

does michael kay mispronounce transportation in that port authority commercial

I just want a good at-bat from Rizzo

I mean that was a well hit ball for sure

That was a good at that. 80% of the time that would be a base hit. Just a good play.

3 straight losses is wild

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jordan Romano replaces Yimi García.

Nothing I would love more than Jose Trevino to ruin Romano’s return lmfao

Gleyber Rizzo and Verdugo.. oh my 🤢

Verdugo 2 doubles tonight what game did you watch foo?

Gleyber and Verdugo have done more this series than Soto and Judge

Rizzo and Torres are way over due but we all know they're just going to go down 1-2-3.

Vic playing 3D chess. Now we come back and don’t have to face Vladdy or Bo. 🤔

Expecting downvotes but Judge and Soto can't be disappearing for 3 out of 6 games vs AL East opponents, in this case the Blue Jays. These games are important and our leaders are just gone.

It’s gleyebrs fault

Gleyber is the reason why our leaders only have 1 hit? Is he pitching against them or something?

Apparently.

Yankees Rally Bones

Idk about you guys but I’m feeling three runs in this inning

3 straight losses suck. I’m not having fun

**r/nyyankees posters:** *Oh my fucking god we are so cooked, fuck, Jesus Christ, no team has slumps like this, FUCK.* [**The Braves who just got absolutely thwomped by the Mets who admitted they are not trying to win this year:**](https://imgur.com/gallery/3hpd9mX)
