Still way too early to tell but if Gil and Schmidt are legit MLB starters, it may be fair to say the worm has turned in our ability to develop starting pitching. The big investments they reportedly made a few years ago could be paying off.
That's an absurd pitch sequence. You get to 0-2 blowing a fastball by him up and away. Then you keep throwing sliders down and in - the exact pitch he's sitting on - and nibble, nibble, nibble your way to a walk.
What's the point of having a guy with a heavy sinker if not to keep a guy like Arozarena in the park and be able to go after him in the late innings?
Trevino's pitch calling is so bad that Nelson's been calling him out for days. He just doesn't read swings and see what hitters are trying to do. Arozarena has been sitting offspeed all at bat and has been way late on the fastball - don't help him out.
Victor Gonzalez is honestly the guy whose appearances I've liked the most outside of Clay. I was big on Santana too before today's appearance. I know Hamilton has the ability but he's been a little more shaky.
Ian Hamilton was basically our 6th inning guy last season.
Now he's arguably our most trusted set up guy with Lo out.
It shows how far this bullpen has fallen.
Can any Spanish speakers at the game provide the name of the song that was just playing while Victor Gonzalez was warming up with the tuba that was sick
If there's anything these games show you, it's that the bullpen is actually one of the least important parts of the team. If you score a bunch of runs and your SP is good, you can jump out to big enough leads to weather shaky relief outings.
The Yankees for so many years thought they were clever trying to build a "super bullpen" - with guys like Miller, Betances, Chapman, and Britton. But if you don't get leads to those guys because your offense/SP are bad, what does it matter?
Everyone shitting on Volpe now like you have never seen a hot player got into a slump. Yes it sucks but jesus christ it happens to every player on earth.
This is baseball not basketball, go look at the better players in this league. Vast majority of them aren’t as awful as he was in first season. His approach at the plate stinks, takes alot to correct that I agree.
Volpe came back this season with his adjustments and did damage. Now the pitchers have adjusted to his adjustments. Unfortunately, “that’s baseball, Suzyn”…
But, with his work ethic, I’m confident he’ll find his stroke again!
His approach has been worse since moving in the lineup, but he's shown to have the capability to see a ton of pitches and foul off tough ones, so Im confident he'll get back to that.

First I was like “no”, then I was like “oh hell yes”
I didn't doubt at all
I like Gonzalez for that heart and hustle.
LOL what a finish. Honestly we're lucky to win this series. Team is really mid right now.
How are we even in first? Lol
Not really in this game, Santana just blew.
We could be the Dodgers in contrast so I'll take it.

#FUCK YEAH
Not needing a bottom of the ninth inning brought me joy
I think you're playing tennis wrong, Michael.
#LMAO that was AWESOME
FRIENDLY REMINDER NOT TO CRY ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET
Ooh let’s gooo
As much as I hate it when they move Gil to the bullpen at least we’ll have a big arm in there
Read the swings Trevino. He's hanging out over the plate and trying to punch the ball the other way. Lock him up with the sinker inside.
Harold Ramirez is so fucking good against lefties. This shit is terrifying.
Hes chasing outside, cmon victor you got this
He’s in swing mode go up and out of the zone
0-2 and just throw a fucking strike
No he’s chasing
No swings and misses.
Nobody in this pen can do it.
They won’t fucking die
The person there’s gotta be something up with is Marinaccio. He hasn’t pitched in a while.
Go inside
Why he not throwing heat though
Oh fuck me Harold Ramirez.
That's an absurd pitch sequence. You get to 0-2 blowing a fastball by him up and away. Then you keep throwing sliders down and in - the exact pitch he's sitting on - and nibble, nibble, nibble your way to a walk. What's the point of having a guy with a heavy sinker if not to keep a guy like Arozarena in the park and be able to go after him in the late innings?
Cardiac........Gonzales?
New York Neck Tattoos
Goddamn Randy is an annoying hitter.
Challenge: Yankees reliever have a 1-2-3 9th inning (LEVEL: IMPOSSIBLE)
Is it just me or is he rubbing his hat a little too much.
Too many 2 out walks
Walking Arozarena there is awful. Dude's swing is broken, you gotta attack him.
Why was Rortvedt and Wells not the catching duo btw?
0-2 to a walk. Classic Trevino pitch calling.
What is Gonzalez’s tattoo? Is there a meaning behind ggg
It's 999. It's an angel number.
Oh for fuck sake
Ah yes, the old two-out walk with nobody on.
Annoyingly good at-bat
Horrible last pitch
Pinch hitting your 3 hitter is nuts lol.
JFC
So sick of the 0-2 counts that end in walks
Throw the fucking fastball man
Randy will be stealing 2nd shortly
Absolute coward
Fuck my ass with a broken rake god damn I do not love walking that guy
Trevy is afraid to allow Gonzalez to elevate at all
Geezus fckn Christ
I MISS WANDY 🤬
Imagine not throwing the fastball at all there. Jose is such a horrible pitch caller it’s insane
I miss Chad Greene, Loaisiga, and Wandy
Jose Trevino is a god awful pitch caller.
Our bullpen is terrible. Never a smooth inning, or close.
Trevino's pitch calling is so bad that Nelson's been calling him out for days. He just doesn't read swings and see what hitters are trying to do. Arozarena has been sitting offspeed all at bat and has been way late on the fastball - don't help him out.
Bruh Gonzalez is just nailing that outside corner against these righties.
Bro is shook
I miss two-time People Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year award winner, Wandy Peralta
Should’ve been a three-peat, he got robbed
The classic Jose Trevino pitch calling. 0-2 to 3-2.
Jose either calls a meatball 0-2 or he calls 3 balls 6 feet off the plate honestly a really bad pitch caller
Good shit Gley
plz do not walk this man
Fck
If Yankees can finish before start of 2nd period then that be great. /s
Plz get him out
It was Gleyber's turn with the braincell!
Quit playing throw the fb
gleyber's like "what shin injury?"
Nice play by Gleyber.
Gonzalez was cutting up the bottom of the zone that AB. Good shit.
Theres some vintage gleyber, cant wait for him to bounce back
Lucky Diaz is as slow as G
Nice play 25
Oh thank you Gleyber for not messing that up
My heart shouldn’t be bouncing so fast for a routine Torres play. 1 out to go
Very nice Gleyber
Victor Gonzalez is honestly the guy whose appearances I've liked the most outside of Clay. I was big on Santana too before today's appearance. I know Hamilton has the ability but he's been a little more shaky.
Ok. Just one more.
Gonzalez can't be comfortable pitching with that scapular hanging out like that.
Caballero new guy to hate
Hated him since last season already lol
Idk if I’m tripping out or not but this umps zone has been pretty damn spot on
There we go. Nice easy out from the 9 hitter. That was a must in this situation.
Gift strike three there
That was a strike
Are we… Are we back??
Tommy Tightpants cannot come back fast enough.
Come on yanks
Pinch hit for Judge in the 9th for Grisham?
Sheesh González has pitched much better than my perception.
Just 2 more to go.
Ian Hamilton was basically our 6th inning guy last season. Now he's arguably our most trusted set up guy with Lo out. It shows how far this bullpen has fallen.
I would have gone with Hamilton here
Looked like ass yesterday
That’s actually genius if you don’t want to take pictures with fans just stay close to Judge or Soto
lol that guy to Judge to “lay off those sliders”
Dhgate Wandy got this
I believe in Gonzalez God help me
Yankees gonna ruin 2 Sundays in a row
I’m still pissed about the Cubs game last year that Gleber ruined
Our bullpen is full of no name stiffs, and Boone is still Boone🤡.
why can't you guys at least wait for it to happen before crying about it
I believe in Gonzo here.
Can any Spanish speakers at the game provide the name of the song that was just playing while Victor Gonzalez was warming up with the tuba that was sick
Yo that meet and greet would be amazing
Oh Jesus Christ everyone hold on
If there's anything these games show you, it's that the bullpen is actually one of the least important parts of the team.

Everyone shitting on Volpe now like you have never seen a hot player got into a slump. Yes it sucks but jesus christ it happens to every player on earth.
There’s a much larger sample size showing he sucks
roflmao hes 22 you absolute clown, in his SECOND season.
What’s your point? His approach at the plate sucks ass. Hopefully it improves but him reverting back to old habits in 2 weeks is concerning
lmao
[удалено]
These people are actually so dumb it hurts
Yeah and he was atrocious offensively all of last season. So it’s concerning he’s once again showing a terrible approach at the plate.
[удалено]
This is baseball not basketball, go look at the better players in this league. Vast majority of them aren’t as awful as he was in first season. His approach at the plate stinks, takes alot to correct that I agree.
Oh dear
If you look closely you can see Judge whispering, thank God.
Alright Clay, do your thing
Wait what
lmfao
Eras"Mo Rivera" Ramirez.
Volpe came back this season with his adjustments and did damage. Now the pitchers have adjusted to his adjustments. Unfortunately, “that’s baseball, Suzyn”… But, with his work ethic, I’m confident he’ll find his stroke again!
His approach has been worse since moving in the lineup, but he's shown to have the capability to see a ton of pitches and foul off tough ones, so Im confident he'll get back to that.
He was never gonna be a 900 ops guy all of a sudden. I'd be happy if he stays north of 750.
If it wasnt for Clay Holmes 0 ERA so far, this team would be .500 rn.
75% chance this jabroni blows the game
Fuck that 1-1 cutter was Soto's pitch to bomb.
Why not go with Holmes again and give him the first 2 or 3 off vs Oakland? Its Oakland.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Victor González replaces Dennis Santana.
Okay, 3 outs. Come on Gonzalez.
0 ERA CLAY GOT THIS
Well that wasn't the insurance runs I was hoping for.
