What the fuck is going on?

Bad pitching.

[Scraps 13570]

Maton needs to go take an Uber off the Brooklyn Bridge

[David Dennison 18945]

Well done, Astros. Well done.

[Wulaw Horn 19147]

Maton needs to be completely out of the trust tree man. Arsonist. 

[Dutchrudder 11150]

This is comical.

[Chuckie Finster 22727]

Maton needs to be in the Hudson River by morning.

[runthebone 8030]

Maton needs to start punching shit again

[Overlord 366]

Jesus Fucking Christ. 

[hornmpa96 2620]

Hope Phil hits a locker today.

[Scraps 13570]

What a pussy that guy is

[UTexasFight 9523]

After it got to 2-2, I’d much rather see those last two than anything near the zone to judge in that situation 

[David Dennison 18945]

We botched the deadline, didn't we?

[Lat22 4015]

DFA that loser. 

[Guest]

How can they lay off pitches that close?

[Focht Up 631]

Damn it to fuck

[kevwun 15856]

3 runs walked in in one inning doesn't happen very often.

[Mez2 4025]

We could fuck up a wet dream

If it’s not broke don’t fix it. 

[Focht Up 631]

Dusty Baker sucks ass as a manager 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Holy shit. Maton's stats in High Leverage situations. .382/.563/.441/1.004, what the fuck is he doing pitching at all in these situations? Who the fuck is managing this team because these stats should be easily known by now.

He also has an era of 27.00 in the 4th inning. By all means lets use him in situations he absolutely should not be used in.

JP France to relief?  Why is he not a starter? Dude has been throwing great the last 6-8 weeks. Did he get demoted??

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

So Maton sucks again. 

[David Dennison 18945]

They are taking everything.

[Overlord 366]

We’re struggling this much with the lowly Yankees,

and we have to play Baltimore this week?

We Fucked.

We ignore the data now and it is infuriating 

[TonyTexas 10524]

That inning reminded me of first year of Pee Wee kid pitch.

Trying to limit his innings. 

Still using a big bullet in your belt in a big situation 

 

should still be in the rotation 

[Lat22 4015]

52 pitch inning.

Urquidy took France’s turn today. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

i blame Urquidy most , all 5 ERs belong to him, not Maton that much.

51 pitch inning , damn.

Letting Maldy start off the top of the 5th after what the Yankees put up instead of Diaz is a surrender.

[hornmpa96 2620]

Maton didn’t walk 3 guys. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. You bring in a guy from the bullpen to strand inherited runners.

You must be Dusty’s kid.

Has anyone else noticed that when they are showing the side view camera from the 3rd base side the feed is multiple seconds ahead of the CF camera? Think they are still having camera issues

I wonder if this is the bankruptcy showing up front and center

Maybe laid off the good people. Now have “replacement” folks and/or someone else is paying to make sure these broadcasts happen but with new/inexperienced (read: cheap) help.

We have a number of players eating up innings who shouldn't be.

Burrito walks Mashitty

I know we're all pissed at Maton but imagine what yankefans.com thinks about the leadoff walk to maldy

inherit cow manure on all bases is very high pressure and Lurch up next.  Not an easy ask.  Urquidy should be hanged in the clubhouse. 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Surprised that wasn't' a strike too. 

[WBT 20655]

Lulz at Blum.  "Gutsy take"

[UTexasFight 9523]

I’m sure Angel is loving all of these pitches as shitty as he is…more chances to show his ineptitude 

[UTHornFan014 710]

I blame Maldy the most. If he is the intagibliest pitcher whisperer like the Dusty tries to preach then he should have been able to calm the pitchers down

Edited August 6, 2023 by UTHornFan014

[HtownHorn 14763]

Absolutely should be bunting here.

[Overlord 366]

Is Bregman now 0 for 12 this series?

and he’s the answer for the 2 hole?

needs to have twins this offseason.

[HtownHorn 14763]

Didn't even throw a fucking strike.

Just no desire for this team to consistently make winning plays with Dusty in charge.
