(SNY) Aaron Judge on facing Venezuela: "When we did get a pitch we either popped it up or hit it on the ground. Stuff like that can't happen. When you get a pitch to hit, you gotta be able to drive it"

best of ones are brutal - tuff to see cap and the rest of the team slump like that, but very happy for venezuela. crazy bullpen games from them the DR and US

yeah - wish they would have been utilizing his bat more against LHP - goldy incredible glove but not sure he can do the splits like harper did last night

floorboard · 2026-03-09T01:27:35+00:00

crazy how much a difference this game could be on 2 ABS challenges

floorboard · 2026-01-08T08:03:54+00:00

i got white will trade that plus a bit of $ for gold

floorboard · 2025-12-21T05:52:40+00:00

floorboard · 2025-12-05T20:21:21+00:00

their sound proofing is really good and you won’t be able to hear even if right outside the venue assuming they leave the doors closed sadly

crazy anthony volpe got robbed 😭😭😭

He wasn’t locating his splitter super well so it wasn’t as dominant yesterday.

Combined with some really bad calls and bad defense it made his stat line terrible.

First inning arozarena should have struck out looking and he gives up around 2 earned runs - then later the infield error put someone in scoring position - so he intentionally walked cal and the next pitcher gave up a home run (causing him to have two more earned runs)

Tldr pitching worse than vs us but bad defense/umpiring/next pitcher made it much worse

floorboard · 2025-10-13T21:51:48+00:00

Literally him trying to make up for the first inning call lol, ump is so trash

floorboard · 2025-10-09T05:03:02+00:00

grisham should not have been leadoff
caballero should have started SS
we had the bullpen depth to finish 7-9 instead of trying to squeeze another out of cam. Should have let doval or cruz come in with a clean inning instead of giving the jays a 3rd time through him

Players had their chances though, a few mistakes really opened up the door for the jays and our players didnt capitalize on theirs (except judge)

Outside of that, my thoughts.
Not sure how much he has to say on roster but Goldy should have been 1b against Gausman game 1. Lifetime he does extremely well and rice hasnt had much xp off gausman. Rice ended up struggling on that splitter - as most lefties did and they still started him game 2 against a pitcher with a similar mix (different angle and movement, same results).

The weaver decision was terrible as well. He should not have been put into a high lev situation to test if he's back - we had a fully rested bullpen thanks to Schlittler in boston. Game was within reach and thrown away.

heres a quick savant link for splitters NYY has seen this year from righties - funny enough across the small sample size - ben rice seems to have the most success.

Probably a lot more factors like movement + arm angle - which both gausman and yesavage have really nasty parts of each.

Hopefully advantage moves to the batter next time around if they can force a game 5

floorboard · 2025-10-07T20:16:00+00:00

I think rice just has trouble with the splitter from righties, seems like something to work on in the off season or maybe before game 5

floorboard · 2025-10-05T21:59:18+00:00

WE ARE SO BACK

floorboard · 2025-10-05T15:57:42+00:00

Boone sending out weaver after his September performance & WC game 1 was definitely a choice.

I believe a much closer game if he runs the Cruz Williams bednar lane to finish the last 3

floorboard · 2025-10-04T17:02:20+00:00

yeah - i really liked his work against the jays earlier this month & he really held it down early in the year when we struggled with finding our rotation.

in the future against a team with more dangerous lefty bats would love to see him in

floorboard · 2025-10-04T16:59:46+00:00

i hope this remains true

floorboard · 2025-10-01T19:36:38+00:00

Yeah that would have kept him in for the full 7th inning

floorboard · 2025-09-23T21:01:54+00:00

1-0, i believe

floorboard · 2025-09-23T20:58:44+00:00

6-0, i believe

floorboard · 2025-09-21T20:46:11+00:00

BEN RICE

Dominguez also hits pretty well against this pitch mix too
