Why do Yankees fans have zero brain cells when they lose

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@ratmannx @NYY228 Weathers was going to be moved to the bullpen as long as starters - which you said you needed - were all healthy.

No one knew fried would be back on the IL and Rodon was two weeks away from returning.

Saying they needed a starting pitcher is ridiculous.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@ratmannx @NYY228 Why did they need a SP on Aug 3

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@ratmannx @NYY228 No the Yankees who have maybe the best rotation in the league did not need a starting pitcher at the trade deadline lmao. Easy to say they need one now after two pitchers got hurt; it was the last thing they needed.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@ratmannx @NYY228 They didnt

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@ratmannx @MikeJdre @13HerbH Giancarlo Stanton is like the only reason they had any World Series hopes lmao

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@Dutch1968 @RyanGarciaESM You’re the most sane person on Stanton ever. Very possible to realize what he did when on the field while realizing it just didn’t work

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@NunbergSam @CharlieRGa @BryanHoch Not close to the worst contract in baseball lol

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

Has this dude ever said anything good about the Yankees

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@JayHobbsKY @MikeOxlong64 @editti22 I think you’re missing my point, and then everything you said is wrong.

The strike zone isn’t an “MLB zone.” It is the strike zone. This pitch, by baseball rule, was a ball. That’s how it should have been called. The batter did nothing wrong; the umpire did.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

Pitches that are clear cut balls that would drive in a tying run are never “too close to take.”

Anyone blaming the batter for this is an absolute lunatic

[Barstool Baseball @StoolBaseball]

Iowa throws the combined no-hitter!

18 outs
17 Ks from the Iowa staff

(Ump had lunch plans and wanted to leave, awful strike 3 call)

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@JayHobbsKY @MikeOxlong64 @editti22 Chalking this up as simple “12u” is pretty dangerous. That call is fine to make in a 12-0 game in April against Dominos Pizza. Not the tying run as the little league World Series

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@NM_CBUS @CoachBWarning With that logic, if the pitch was 17 feet outside and it was called a strike, should the batter have swung?

Batters not swinging at balls is good. Umpires calls clear balls strikes is bad.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@fan_brewer25123 @BaseballWRLD_ There’s an exception to the rule - this is it. If he swings, he very likely is out. The pitch was supposed to be called ball four to tie the game and it was a great take. Tell the umpire to do the job correctly, not the 12 year old to do something he shouldn’t do.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@NM_CBUS @CoachBWarning A pitch that should be an RBI is not “too close” when a swing very likely results in an out.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@clintonyates @robl131 Basic 12u stuff isn’t “the strike zone is actually bigger on national tv”

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@Nickvogt25 @0__123___456__0 @risucci_rick Missing the point lol

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

Why do Yankees fans act like a 5 starter is unheard of.

[Tristan @YankeesFocus]

I legitimately do not know where Will Warren goes from here.

The command is bad. The stuff continues to trend downwards. He can’t get lefties out.

Pretty disappointing all around.

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

@Nickvogt25 @0__123___456__0 @risucci_rick The second will Warren is in a fifth inning of suck you’d complain that Boone is leaving him in too long

[VolpeForever @volpe_forever]

Been saying teams should be given the simple option to hit.

Would be baseball’s version of running the clock out

[Mark Valorian @markvalorian]

This is a ridiculous element of MLB.

Often when there is a blowout, the losing team will bring on a position player as the pitcher in order to save their real pitchers’ arms. Then they just throw these comically slow pitches that the other team can just tee off on and run up the score to insane totals like 22-0.

It’s basically a live forfeit of the game that everyone is forced to watch—just horrible for the viewing experience. MLB needs to step in and find a way to end this. Very embarrassing for the game.
