The bullpen was bound to have a bad game. Reinforcements are coming (Loaisiga, Germán, maybe Britton at some point lol), I'm not worried.
Yankees are talking to the Royals about Benintendi too, something to possibly be excited about.
Its not just the bullpen, but starters too. They have been struggling a bit past few rounds.
Especially Cortes and Taillon.
I‘ll rack Cole as unlucky since it was Devers doing the damage, but no way should the Red Sox been able to get more than 3 runs these past games if our pitching staff was solid. Past few weeks we have been relying on the offense to overcome our struggling pitching.
Wow...... Just freaking wow.
All momentum is against the Yankees these past two games. Three defensive blunders( 1x by Donaldson, 2x DJ). Now the umpire is helping out. All called strikes against Stanton was clear balls. Not even close.
I am somewhat wishy washy on robot umps, etc because I do like the human element. But that at bat helps with bring on the robo ump calling balls and strikes.

Me too but I'd like to see some sort of camera placed above* home plate in every park and one on each side of the plate to help determine more accurately outside the plate pitches and pitches that are too high or too low. The ump could have some sort of mechanism in his helmet that would alert him to the exact location of the pitch.
*High enough above the plate to avoid interfering with any ball put in play, fair or foul.
What? You think there is an East Coast Bias in the national media? Really?!!
I'm sure the folks on the West Coast are very concerned about the weather forecast for NYC. :lol:
Everyone talks about the Yankees 61 wins so far, and yes, very impressive, but let's hear it for the Dodgers, only 5 games back of the Yankees. Astros too.
Growing up in Maine, I was raised to hate the Yankees. I can't say I still hate them; more indifferent to them at this point.
My enduring memory of the Astros will always be when they were still in the NL, and Albert Pujols hit THAT home run off Brad Lidge.
That might be quite a feat at stadiums that don't have a roof. At most, if not all, of those stadiums, three cables from the upper deck would not be able to hold a camera high enough. Plus, if you build an arch of some sort, getting up there to replace the camera when it malfunctions would also be a challenge. And I don't think you want a drone hovering overhead, humming all the while.
Love the Yankees, but despise the Astros at this point. They were caught cheating and what the received was pretty much a slap on the wrist. In my opinion, they should have been forced to forfeit their title and some of them should have been banned from baseball. Harsh, yes, but given all of the other players that have been caught cheating and have been banned. I feel it would be fitting for these folks.
Nope. And even with a roof, if it's open (that's, like, most of the games) a fixed camera would be over the people.
Interesting standpoint, and I can’t say you’re entirely wrong.
I agree that the Astros got off easy. Cheating to win isn't less of a sin than cheating to lose so you make $$ on a bet.
Still a sin, especially when it comes to American Baseball and not to mention, once it was all said and done, weren't they caught more than once...?

Hey, I called it a month ago that they would come down to Earth eventually. All teams do,.
I thought they had it sealed after that 3 run homer...
Giants score 6 in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Brewers. 2 solo shots and a grand slam.
Still the best record in MLB. I still think they are on track for a pretty good season. But, like it has been mentioned before, if you can't bring home the ring, then does it matter if you had the best record or the most wins. I don't think so.
