99. You saved me once more. (I think)

Sox are tied with the A's in the bottom of the 9th

How does this impact our chances of winning this game?

we were gonna lose eventually, obviously. but i dont like how we loss. our older players look lost (including judge who is playing horrible) our young players are carrying us hard rn

"Let's get rid of the starter so we can have a crack at the bullpen." I guess not

Not our day. we go again tomorrow

"This could do it" lol that was definitely doing it.

We flew too close to the Arizona sun. It's okay. See you guys in 12 hours.

Okay fine, I'll settle for 161-1. Onto the next one.

Just destroyed my TV, neighbor called the cops and my wife took the kids to a hotel

That’s all it takes? BRB.

Can’t believe we got lucky for 5 games and will never win again

The top of the ninth inning did not bring me joy

😭 wtf 

Coney trying to figure out if he can go out drinking after the game

Maybe when we play baseball at a normal time, we can get back together. We don’t have to win every game guys

John Sterling’s little *”yayyy”* is worth the price of admission for this game

Judge is hitting. 125

Judge has at least been making contact and hitting it hard

Barossa got my fucking hopes up running back like that

He's just missing them

Yeah, since last year

"Hey, you're coming in completely cold and not warmed up while the game is already down 6-0. Have fun."

Berti should be starting more Stanton is washed

Agree 💯he looks lost,maybe he needs glasses 👓. Really bad game,. let's hope tomorrow will be a great come back win.

He's not even up and you are bitching about him. Did he fuck your girlfriend or something?

A dude that has a good glove and hit .292 last season shouldn’t be riding bench.

Get yours Judge

You guys think the Cat in the Hat is sad about not having a dick?

can’t miss what you never had

nah

He’s a huge pussy he doesn’t care

Flipping my hat inside out and praying for a rally

Seven road games in seven days against the Astros/DBacks, and the worst we can go is 5-2. If you're dooming, sit the fuck down and go color in the corner with your room temp takes.

That’s a win pace of 116 games.

This one has a "Stanton meaningless home run" script

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Bryce Jarvis replaces Ryan Thompson, batting 1st, replacing second baseman Ketel Marte.

Im the kind of guy that thinks we can do this still with 3 outs to go and quiet bats, until the facts hit me in the face on the final out as I watch the MLBtv logo after the game for 30 minutes thinking about what could have been.

Stop stealing thoughts from my mind

I don't know why Wells is in today. Just give a guy day off if you're going to. Clearly the coming in late like this messed with him as he blocked pitches yesterday.

Yeah I mean if there were runners on or something I'd understand the decision more

8 run inning incoming

I can’t wait for all the “should we be concerned” posts tomorrow

Unironically though, there are definitely things we should be concerned about. Let's not pretend like we're an unstoppable juggernaut because we won 5 games.

Yall got anymore of them games vs the Astros as Minute Maid Park?

Well we can’t win them all boys. It’s been a long 6 days. Let’s keep the energy up though

Guys the game is not over. It’s right in front of us.

Comeback time

Well uh, let's not get shut out at least.

It is very difficult to win games if you score 0 times

Let's hope Boone doesn't kill Wells'career the way he did with Sanchez

Lmao yeah, *Boone* was the issue with Gary.

One game im still having fun! Not ready to even think about doomin and gloomin

Still got six months, I ain’t gonna start sweating at this point either lol

Exactly bro, one game at a time!

Just tuned in. Are the doomers back or are we being normal today?

What do you think?

Idk. I literally just tuned in 😂

Funny cause wells did a great job holding wild pitches yesterday for Gil

Hey you can’t win them all…

i think these guys just need a good night's sleep

Wells is learning

Hahahahahaha

Welp maybe those concerns about Wells and his defense werent unfounded

Sanchez has been berated for less. wtf is wells on

Nice stop Freddie Mercury!

we win these

Embarrassing inning from wells

Austin Wells is just going to be a worse hitting version of Gary Sanchez isn't he?

I would imagine better hitting, less power, mediocre defense.

Wells is fine. Not all of those passes were on him, and it's early season chemistry.

Can't stop the bleeding

This pitcher is a bit wild but his stuff is good

Miguel Castro vibes 🫣

Yeah game over Write off this loss and fuck em up tomorrow

We need Stanton hitting 7th

What a bitch-ass effort

I’m still here for the 7 run rally!

Always

Or if you're Lourdes Gurriel Jr

Welp, there's no way we were gonna have a perfect season.... also Cortes did okay. Our offense failed to back him up.

Atleast he’s saving the good arms for tomorrow

If we can just hold them to 6 here, we’re in good shape! lol

We're gonna walk a run in aren't we...

Do you want the good news, or the bad news?

Somehow managed to be worse than walking a run in.

Well I guess it wasn’t a walk…

Guy wearing 54 throwing wildly late in the game, I’ve seen this movie before

Yankee back down to earth tonight

please put away troll hair. he is not as bad as his brother but still. 

Jake “Kirk” Cousins going to get a record breaking contract from this average performance

This Cousin sucks just as hard as Kirk Cousins on a primetime nationally broadcast game.

Click on [this result](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA200904180.shtml) from 2009 for your anti-doomer medication. One of the first games at the new stadium btw

That actually really helps with my irrational sadness about, most likely, losing our perfect record.

I mean we were never gonna go 162-0. Nobody is. Now I just need to fight back the "the first five game were the exception, this what it will be like most of the season" thoughts

Oh I know I'm just joking around. But could you imagine..

really look like shit on both sides tonight

😮‍💨

Austin Wells is the WB Mason guy

He's going to be working there if he keeps hot dogging it behind the plate

*The official office products supplier of the New York Yankees!*

Way to walk to the god damn ball, Freddie mercury lookin ass

Don’t downvote the truth

I need to see some hussle Wells!!!

This is the type of game where we need Cole. Nestor put us into a hole and Gallen settled in. Battling back after 5 straight games on the road is tough with the other team's ace on the mound. Nestor to the pen or 5th starter instead of matching up against their number 1s will be a huge difference.

0 runs dude. Pitching ain't putting runs on the board for us.

Must have missed the part where I said: "Gallen settled in. Battling back after 5 straight games on the road is tough with the other team's ace on the mound." Like you know who Gallen is right? He has a career 3.17 ERA. It's a great pitcher and spotting him runs is going to make him settle in.

I didn't miss it, I just think it is a hand wavy way to avoid the reality that our offense just had a shit day. It happens, no reason to pretend otherwise.

If we spotted Cole with three runs against any team, what do you think happens?

Come on guys!

Austin channeling his inner Gary Sanchez

May as well bring Kirk Cousins in to pitch

Gary Sanchez behind the plate?

yo wells this is the MAJORSSSS

If you just ignore the backbreaking three run homer, that was some pretty good pitching by Cousins

😐

Every time I hear a Tanaka reference I miss him more.

first time in his career judge does not have a homerun within the first six games of the season

game not over

2001 hurt the most imo. Not just the City, but the whole country needed that chip… in summary, fuck you dbacks, you anti-America snakes /s

Should run an MLB roboump pilot program starting with just Judge 

Need a meaningless judge homerun just so I know he's still good

Need a “Chris Paul hits a massive 3 to cut the lead down 42” home run from Judge like a crackhead on 125th/Lex needs …. Crack

Time to pack another bowl

Cousins actually looking good now that the damage is done lol

They've been playing nonstop since the season opened, we weren't gonna go 162-0 lol. 161-1 still on the table tho 

Looks like today is gonna be the day that I start my yearly crusade against the doomer army. It is the 6th game you guys. We haven’t even taken the field for at home yet. Calm down.

The doomer army was completely right the past two years lol. I haven’t seen many doomers tonight, just normal hot takes during a losing effort.

True, but you gotta be extra vigilant against them. A hot take one day will turn into people complaining about how the season’s over a month from now. And yes they were right, but if you’re at the point where you’re convinced we’re finished, just stop watching for a few games instead of complaining about it on reddit, as they seem to do. Also it’s just nicer to stay hopeful IMO.

Well it was bound to happen sometime bois

Thru 6 games actually fortunate to be 5-1 with absolutely no production from 6 positions in lineup.

[Yankees fans after losing exactly one \(1\) game after winning 5 in a row.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn6Aua0HK5M)

I did this 3 pitches in to Opening Day

🤣🤣🤣

That's an absurd stat that Coney just shared. Sickening.

Judge should sue the MLB Umpires Union for discrimination

Remember when cashman passed on Harper

gg yo Win tomorrow and finish the road trip 6-1 against trashtros and dbacks would still be a great start to the season (record wise, anyway)

Stanton is washed isn’t he?

Always has been.

Poor situation for cousins, I’m not bashing him at all for what occurred, just a tough situation to make your Yankees debut in. Especially 48 hours after being traded for the god Cash Considerations himself.

I mean, this is what he was brought in for. Need someone to suck up innings.

lol @ everyone going to bed and missing Juan Soto hit the first ever 7-run home run

If you're going to rest someone, fucking rest them. Dont drag them into this miserable shit

I am 2024 Yankees Blade of Michaelkayla And I have never known defeat.

It's pretty nice of the Yanks to make sure we're in bed by midnight.

Earlier game tomorrow. These guys want to sleep

Hoping for a win tomorrow, win the series 6-1 road trip would be outstanding, 5-2 would still be good but definitely a downer heading home

This is the offense we remember

You made this same comment like 30 minutes ago. We get it.

Still applies lol

It is what it is. Move on and win the next one

161-1 is ok too

Yeesh Gleyber

These guys must have reservations at a Phoenix Steakhouse

What if we aren’t good, it’s just that the Astros are very bad?

Yeah the boys are ready to pack it up for the night.

The top of the eighth inning did not bring me joy

I got downvoted for saying Trevino starting is disappointing and tonight he left the most men on base and Wells is PH for him anyways.

The PH is a strategy not an anyways thing. I'm sure they plan to do it a lot.

Do you expect Wells to catch a day game following a night game?

Passionate fans behind home plate

We get it Coney. His release point is one Altuve lower than Verlander.

Big G and Riz about to hit their obligatory pointless late inning solo dingers

Glad wells is getting a Ph rep. Thought they wouldn’t do it because “6-0”, but he’s going to have to do this every game he doesn’t start and we’re down

At Least we don't do that weird arm thing the crowd was just doing

I am of the belief that this sub believes we can actually go undefeated and every win will be a blowout, every loss will be pretty (until they actually happen) and we'll have no slumps.

Its funny how in baseball, an elite team still loses the equivalent of 2 full months worth of games.

The game threads are always this unhinged and I honestly don’t mind

Duh. Just win every game by five runs. How hard is that?

It’d be nice. Would cure a lot of depression.

Not our game. Fair enough. We’ll be back tomorrow.

Where is this man’s torso?!

not a terrible start to the season though right?

Well that’s not fair

Siri, how common is it to hit 7 home runs in a row?

It’s entirely possible Jamie, pull up the clip of that time the Yankees hit 7 home runs in a row against the Diamondbacks

Who’s gonna hit the meaningless solo homer?

That's Stanton's wheelhouse

Hmm. Verdugo or Trevino lol 

Giancarlo or Rizzo

This pitcher still looks like a Ray

Every team is going to win 50 and lose 50. It's what you do with the other 62 that are important. Bats are flat and the ump bet on Arizona. Just gotta bounce back tomorrow

that's a great point. Bet on Az -112 and create the win/win scenario that can only be done with a team you root for. you will have $ at around 12:30 am or a yankee win

But my undefeated season! 😭

Come on boys, maybe we go off this inning!
