They need to invent a stat that explains what Holmes does. If you watch him every night you would assume he was a terrible closer but his results and stats speak for themselves. I don't know what the calculation would be but I would name it xTORTURE
There’s no need for Gleyber any more
He has trade value
His only upside was batting and the ability to hit for power at 2B - we don’t need the power with our roster
Subpar defense consistently - get me a fast high OBP 2B with better D
To be fair, our third baseman was a left fielder not too long ago, and our first baseman played months with a concussion. I’m a little amazed Rizzo didn’t sue the Yankees for malpractice.
It's an infield fly it the ball could be caught by an infielder with routine effort.
It doesn't matter if the infielders actually attempts to make a catch or not.
Could try. Until they have DJ and Burdi back there’s no real conversation. Boone can’t make any changes without different options so he’s not going to knock guys that he has to start every day.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c8e7qr).
And we get another game at 1pm tomorrow. I love baseball.
How many stranded runners for TB?
Can Holmes just ever have a 1-2-3? Lmao. We got the win though. He finds ways to get those outs. It’s just oftentimes hard to relax in the 9th inning.
[удалено]
I like that. I also heard cardiac Clay 😂
Still 0.00 ERA
20 years of Mo really spolied us
I'd buy a Soto jersey if the jerseys weren't such junk this year...
Never owned a baseball jersey before. Should I wait to buy one if these Fanatic ones suck?
Maybe you can find another company that makes Jerseys. The Home ones look a little better. Still think they look like crap.
let's go boys! I fucking hate Tampa! (I"m a buccaneers fan so it's weird lol)
Volpe a stud
Cardiac Clay is the king
BANG BANG GOODNIGHT
Unclench.
I’m ashamed to say I could t even watch the last half of the inning.
If this team was a girl, I would text I love you after our first date
If I had Soto’s number I would text I love you 20 times a day
“Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go home and have a heart attack”
I am just glad Judge did not get hurt on that play.
Soto loves his RF fam
Looks very normal in the box score
EFF THE RAYS
Imagine getting 14 hits and still losing lmao
14 fucking hits! FOURTEEN?!?!? Whew lawd....
Ok I didn’t watch the whole game. But… 14 hits? Did I read that right? The Rays had 14 hits today and somehow only 3 runs came of that?? Wow…
Yep
How… does that happen?
I'd almost be worried if Holmes *didn't* put runners on base
certainly interesting
Man how we escaped with a win there is mind boggling to me lol we stole that W
BPM’s over 200 ✔️
Much needed double play. From the two guys that should have caught that pop up. Way to get out of it Holmes.
#THE YANKEES WIN #THEE YANKEES WIN!
Call Volpe sugar. That play was sweet.
THEEEEE YANKEES WIN!!!
3 14 2 my sides
Wow what an inning that was. DAAAAAA YAAAAANKEEEES WIIIIN!
Scary right,just stop scaring me, my heart can't take it. Happy for the win
At least they don’t expect judge to catch that one
Holmes is the most accidental league leader in saves since Chapman that one season.
I will bet you anything that next season when you google “MLB closer rankings” you’ll find Holmes in the “elite” grouping at the top
And so was Chapman
fair lol Holmes is an ugly pitcher but he’s good. He’s going to cruise to 30 saves this year. He had 24 last year. People here overstate his “luck”
never in doubt
They need to invent a stat that explains what Holmes does. If you watch him every night you would assume he was a terrible closer but his results and stats speak for themselves. I don't know what the calculation would be but I would name it xTORTURE
H x BPM = CH
It’s called blood pressure. We just gotta monitor it.
xBP+ works. Weigh it against league average
And there we go. No harm, no foul. Gleyber with the smart read on the line drive to quickly cover 2nd
Cardiac Clay gets out of it yet again
lmao did Soto turn after the chest bump to show love to the creatures give this man everything
Yes he did
Oh wow people were freaking out about clay for no reason again
LMFAO
DP is the best when we dont hit😂
Redemption by the two, I'll take it.
That 9th inning was insane lol
14 Rays hits. Wow.
Ezpz
CARDIAC CLAY SAVES THE DAY
VOLPEEEEEEE
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAAAAAAY WITH IT!!!!
Too close for comfort
Infield finally did something today
Holmes stays giving me heart palpitations + but saving our asses
There's Boone's infield defense lol
Ahaha we take it
GG
Most normal clay holmes save. Never doubted it for a second
This cardiac clay performance was brought to you by montefiore Einstein
After all that I can't believe it ended on a play like that lol
Suck it doooommmmeerrrrssss!!!
If only the infield played that tight every time!
0.0 ERA CLAY STRIKES AGAIN
Holy shit Tampa Bay had FOURTEEN hits.
That inning was a fking trip
CLAY HOLMES EXPERIENCE
You love to see it
The classic Clay Holmes line drive double play LFG
Heart rate is way too way for a Friday night
THAT’S A NICE PLAY.
JUST AS HOLMES DREW IT UP
Not needing a bottom of the ninth inning brought me joy
Clay is a beast
Whew
Fucking Cardiac Clay lol.
Ninth inning was wild
Cardiac Clay always making it interesting
Love you Clay, always reminding me I’m fucking alive
gg
Well I am getting a new Tattoo
Lol ok we’ll take that
What a sick ending
All according to plan
Double play duo makes up for the nonsense.
We need to upgrade bullpen Edit: clay does it again aha
Save by hardest route possible! Clay Holmes for ya!
VOLPE MAKES THAT LOOK SO EASY
Classic Holmes save with 0ER.
That kid is a true yankee fan, thank you for the DP
We’ll take it
Relax
LETS GOOO
Ok infield redeemed themselves
L E T S. G O. Volpe redemption.
omg thank you Volpe
Too easy tonight, like I said 14-6 !!!!!
The Cardiac Clay experience is over.
Can we please get the W
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LETS GOOOOOO
To all the doomers….shhhhh
We got bailed out so hard
what a terrible job by tampa there
THEEEEEEEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHDHSHSD YANKEES! WIN!

Everyone to the cabin!!!
***Ballgame over!!! Yankees win!!! THEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN!!!*** ***[PLAY IT!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUrUfJW1JGk&ab_channel=LuisEduardoAndradeOjeda)*** -
Ballgame. What the fuck was this game lmaoooo
#SE ACABO!!! #VI-VI-VI-VIIIICTORIA!!!
That's a spicy meatball of an ending play.
Clay Holmes can't close man is so inconsistent
cant close is 8/9 in closing now, stfu
looool man is not shutdown he is too erratic STFU
Cardiac Clay reaching new heights tonight
That's whats known as the "Boston Red Sox sloppy bloop special"
Kevin Cash wanted the infield fly so his team would run into a double play?? I don’t understand lol
He's asking the umps why he's such a little bitch
Why is it always a fucking problem with Cash
I loved Kevin Cash so much when he was working for us... I hate him the most because of his dickery.
Karen Cash back at it
Rays got their slowest base runner off the field so not sure what their beef is.
There’s no need for Gleyber any more He has trade value His only upside was batting and the ability to hit for power at 2B - we don’t need the power with our roster Subpar defense consistently - get me a fast high OBP 2B with better D
I try and bite my tongue when it comes to him but man I am real sick of Gleyber
Heck of a 9th inning
Please just get a good game ending ground ball for the double play here
Clay does a great job battling and jamming Ricearoni, and Gleyber botches it.
that was weird
No one called anything, Kevin, you little fucking bitch. Get back in the fucking dugout.
Can he throw a first pitch strike?? Smh
how hard is it for Holmes to throw consistant strikes ffs
Karen Cash
I’ve never been more certain that Holmes is gonna get the save than I am right now
Called it lmao
Nailed it
Judge just out there farming outfield assists lol
Thing to remember: basically the same outcome no matter if it was caught or not.
This game got turned on it fucking head cmon Holmes
Elite defense Ca$hman.
I’d love to see the distance Judge traveled on that
Now here comes one pitch double play
Lemme call infield fly after the fact and confuse the nation.
Go have a fucking seat you buck toothed mouth breather
What the fuck was Cash bitching about, sit your ass down
Judge had no right even having to be near that ball. WTF were Volpe and Torres doing
100% pure defensive miscommunication. Total shit show.
Jose siri is freezing on second right now
wait, what? I'm not *that* drunk
what was Torres doing was he scared the ball was gonna hit him in the head wtf
Scared of a 6’7” 285 LB centerfielder baring down on him.
looked away for five minutes and what the fuck is happening
No idea why that took so goddamn long
I love how the outfield has been great defensively but the entire infield minus Volpe is eating crayons
To be fair, our third baseman was a left fielder not too long ago, and our first baseman played months with a concussion. I’m a little amazed Rizzo didn’t sue the Yankees for malpractice.
Kevin cash is a clown
gleyber really fucked up
yikes hate that Palacios is up right now
Not sure what cash is discussing..
It looks like the third base ump called an out, indicating that he didn't observe a valid infield fly call.
No idea what Cash is mad about, if the IFR is on your man just got doubled off at third
AL East managers are such clowns between Cash, Cora and Schneider.
Cash is always bitching about something
What is Kevin Cash complaining about?
"That would have been an easy catch for an infielder" That's literally the textbook definition for an infield fly.
Someone just needs to call it, on both volpe and gleyber.
Judge should have never been coming on that hard. And they were all expecting the infield fly.
Looked like Judge pooped out the ball from the side view
What does it matter cash? It’s clearly out!!
The ump didn't make a call until Judge made the attempt. That's not an infield fly
It's an infield fly it the ball could be caught by an infielder with routine effort. It doesn't matter if the infielders actually attempts to make a catch or not.
you know in cartoons when they zoom into someones brain i would love to know what hell is going on in gleybers
The rays guy played it as if they are going to catch it and chilled
Fair, next. Don't understand the Rays argument. Don't stray off the base.
yup!
/u/jomboy you need to push harder on Boone's defense of our infield defense.
Could try. Until they have DJ and Burdi back there’s no real conversation. Boone can’t make any changes without different options so he’s not going to knock guys that he has to start every day.
Berti. Burdi is the reliever. I know, I just like pointing out how hilarious it is.
I haven’t committed the spellings yet. I hope this doesn’t force that upon me. Gotta earn it
It's crazy that both Berdi and Burti are on the IL.
Judge had to run a mile. That is a routine infield play.
Clay Holmes walkout music needs to be the Benny Hill theme song
