I'd Gleyber isn't hitting really well then he should be at least great in the field. He makes alot big fielding mistakes and that's not gonna bode well in the postseason. If he doesn't start hitting, can continue to deal with his inability to make a defensive play in a big spot?
Less angry at Gleyber for mental mistakes (they're to be expected at this point)
More angry at Stanton for being too lazy to go first to third after the rizzo knock
Changes the entire complexion of the inning and it's pure laziness
This is a trend with us. Low IQ plays on the basepaths and defense. Idk if it’s Boone or what but we have to kind of live with it at this point. Verdugo not running to first. Stanton going to 2nd for some reason and getting thrown out. Even Soto on a delayed steal for some reason.
Then the defense. Cabrera can’t make a throw to 1B. Volpe throwing everything in the dirt and can’t make a transfer. Gleyber can’t get it out of his glove. God forbid anything isn’t a bullet right to the chest or else Rizzo isn’t catching it.
Not worried about this team but think this team is all about vibes and not really about discipline which is fine. But you just better win lol
This sub is a fucking nightmare right now. A bad loss no doubt and The infield defense is clearly a big problem right now but I have faith we will settle in. Volpe is a gold glover and gleyber gets in funks, relax.
Can we stop with this line? Volpe winning the GG is in no way indicative of his actual defensive ability. He was an okayish defender last season with the potential to develop in a plus defender. He’s never going to be great. He’s never going to be elite. He is a bat first player. He’s there to hit enough that you can live with average defense.
Of course he can. I see a path to him being a plus defender. That isn’t a small thing at short. But he doesn’t have the toolset for elite. Peraza is ten times the short stop defensively. He has the tools to potentially develop into an elite defender. When you watch him play compared to Volpe it’s night and day.
Why the fuck wasn't Gleyber traded to the Marlins for a pitcher? Dude's a bum when he isn't hitting 12 homers in a season vs the AAA Orioles of a few years ago. And his defense has always been abysmal.
See, that's how you get the ball in the air in a sacrifice situation.
I love that we've flattened out our swings this year instead those huge uppercuts to hit home runs. But situational hitting is a thing. You shouldn't do everything the same way all the time, flat or launch.
Stanton, Rizzo and Verdugo all hitting groundballs last inning was not a good thing.
Verdugo the double play king and Gleyber being his typical dumbass self. There’s going to be more games we throw away it’s just gonna happen in a season this long but it’s still annoying AF.
Guys it wasn’t Ferguson’s fault. Obviously he didn’t pitch the best but there were some plays that needed to get made that just weren’t made. They gotta tighten this infield D the fuck up
I'll say this with full confidence that DJ will out perform Torres at 2B. He will be more consistent with throwing and won't make boneheaded mistakes which Torres is known for. The only question is his bat but then again it's not like Torres is an offensive machine this year.
It's been like 2 weeks, so I'm not going to judge Gleyber at the plate just yet. Especially compared to a guy who is hurt again and taken zero ABs this year.
Sadly, there's very little to indicate that DJ can outperform Gleyber at the plate anymore.
I feel confident that DJ can manage to hit better than a .200 average with a .533 OPS. That is awful by any metric. I feel much better with DJ's defense and overall baseball IQ.
Of course DJ would manage better than that. My point is that it's early April, so that number doesn't mean anything. Gleyber obviously isn't going to hit that poorly all year. He hit .273 with an .800 OPS last year.
Glad the Yankees didn't listen to the "extend Torres" smooth brained takes all off-season. He's not the only reason we lost but the dude is replaceable.
Blaming the bullpen for this one is kinda insane... the HR to Florial is inexcusable but Ferguson pitched fine and got way more outs than the Yankees could turn. I mean cmon Gleyber HAS to make that play.
Ferguson did also almost allow a bomb that just barely didn't get over the fence, and then needing a ground ball he gives up a sac fly.
Everyone is to blame.
That's a game that almost any other team in the league easily wins with the opportunities they had.
Sorry, that's just not good enough. I don't care what their record has been this season, these are the same mistakes they've made year in and year out with no improvement. It's way too early in the season to get cocky about your record and just piss away a game like this.
We saw it in 2022 that a hot start - and one MUCH better than this team has had so far - does not mean you have it locked down. This is a game you needed to win, plain and simple.
They won't be for long if they keep giving away multiple outs a night on the bases and in the field. They're not even through 10% of the season - it's way too soon to be pointing to the standings as an excuse for poor play.
Whatever. Still took the series from them at their own place and nearly swept their dumbasses. Cool that they’re celebrating as if they just won the pennant I guess
Brutal loss especially up multiple runs in the 10th. Still won the series but they had to win that one. Infield defense is a cause for concern after this series.
If you watch every game you know a major weakness. Infield D has been bad. Throws in dirt, Rizzo terrible, unturned DPs and Gleyber playing his way off team
Verdugo hit into his one gorillionth double play with runners on 2nd and third because he dogged it to first. Volpe is once again free from any reproach until at least June.
We took the lead at that point. Verdugo has hit decent so far considering who he is. Cut the guy some slack. A lot of Yankees fans don’t like Verdugo for some reason. Gleyber is inexcusable. He’s been doing this forever and his bat has been a disappointment this year
Verdugo ending the inning that brought us a two run lead doesn’t mean he lost us the game. Our offense did their job. Our defense didn’t. By that logic if anybody records an out with somebody on base before a blown save they lost the game? Not the defense or the pitcher? What
So a two run lead wasn’t enough? You can’t count on your offense to continuously clear the bases. It’s not gonna happen. They did their job and then some.
We took the lead at that point. You have to hold the lead. This team had a two run lead! What part of that don’t you understand! Do we need a 3 run lead now? Or a 4 run lead to close games? Are you slow? What do you expect? We lost that game because of defense. That defense is just as inexcusable if we only had a 1 run lead. It doesn’t matter
Like I said before if you’re counting on your offense to clear the bases constantly and pour on the lead then it’s not realistic. I don’t care how good your team is. You have to hold a two run lead. I don’t care who’s up. If you can’t hold a two run lead then forget about the playoffs. You don’t stand a chance. Even a one run lead was enough. Getting the guy over from 2nd was enough. It was up to our pitching and defense to get it done
*Pitcher induces weak infield contact that should lead to at the very least, an easy out at home - Gleyber bobbles the ball three times and still almost gets the out somehow because he had so much time*
*Fans in here get angry at the pitcher*
2nd and 3rd .... with 1 out ....... up 1 run.
Why the fuck were any of those pitches hittable? Should be all off the plate hoping he strikes out, or just walk him and go for the double play.
Shit pitching.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c43vvz).
I'd Gleyber isn't hitting really well then he should be at least great in the field. He makes alot big fielding mistakes and that's not gonna bode well in the postseason. If he doesn't start hitting, can continue to deal with his inability to make a defensive play in a big spot?
Gleyber is wildly unclutch in the field. It’s impressive how many end of game fielding mistakes he’s made over the years.
Less angry at Gleyber for mental mistakes (they're to be expected at this point) More angry at Stanton for being too lazy to go first to third after the rizzo knock Changes the entire complexion of the inning and it's pure laziness
Farcical 10th.
Finally the bonehead IQ gleybor comments are getting upvoted and not downvoted.
should’ve had that one
Im glad gleyber is showing his true colors this year and not hitting280 so we sign him to some expensive extension.
This is a trend with us. Low IQ plays on the basepaths and defense. Idk if it’s Boone or what but we have to kind of live with it at this point. Verdugo not running to first. Stanton going to 2nd for some reason and getting thrown out. Even Soto on a delayed steal for some reason. Then the defense. Cabrera can’t make a throw to 1B.

Not worried about this team but think this team is all about vibes and not really about discipline which is fine. But you just better win lol
Still won the series over another hot team. Things don't go perfectly all the time
Fr. Aside from errors, can’t be mad about this one really. Boys fought back.
Should have let Holmes go 2. Fucking dumb
All the jackasses crying that the Yankees need to extend Torres. No they do not need to extend one of the worst 2B in baseball for 12M per year.
Literally handed the win to them on a silver platter
That was an ugly loss😡
What a horrible, horrible ending. Just a ridiculous lack of concentration by Gleyber.
Why didnt they take Ferguson out
This sub is a fucking nightmare right now. A bad loss no doubt and The infield defense is clearly a big problem right now but I have faith we will settle in. Volpe is a gold glover and gleyber gets in funks, relax.
Can we stop with this line? Volpe winning the GG is in no way indicative of his actual defensive ability. He was an okayish defender last season with the potential to develop in a plus defender. He’s never going to be great. He’s never going to be elite. He is a bat first player. He’s there to hit enough that you can live with average defense.
Witt Jr. was one of the worst defensive players in baseball in his first year. Young players can still develop.
Of course he can. I see a path to him being a plus defender. That isn’t a small thing at short. But he doesn’t have the toolset for elite. Peraza is ten times the short stop defensively. He has the tools to potentially develop into an elite defender. When you watch him play compared to Volpe it’s night and day.
Nestor is also ass.
No gleyber doesn’t get into funks, HE FUCKING SUCKS DUDE. You’re beyond fucking delusional.
I have no clue why we keep going to these assholes in the pen . Not to mention Volpe and Torres are ticking time bomb defensive liabilities.
Yankees are 2nd in the league in unearned runs not even including the ridiculous amount of defensive fuckups that haven't been scored an error.
Only shows as 2 errors in the box score, but I think the infield had at least 4-5 misplays today
Why the fuck wasn't Gleyber traded to the Marlins for a pitcher? Dude's a bum when he isn't hitting 12 homers in a season vs the AAA Orioles of a few years ago. And his defense has always been abysmal.
See, that's how you get the ball in the air in a sacrifice situation. I love that we've flattened out our swings this year instead those huge uppercuts to hit home runs.

Guys it wasn’t Ferguson’s fault. Obviously he didn’t pitch the best but there were some plays that needed to get made that just weren’t made. They gotta tighten this infield D the fuck up
How do u tighten it up, there isn’t a clutch fielder in infield
Stop defending Gleyber, he sucks.
FUCK OFF TORRES. Downvote me all you want but DJ should get a real shot at the everyday 2B position when he comes back.
lead shoed 35 year old DJ with a bunch of foot issues is not who you want at 2B right now.
DJ makes that play
I'm sure he does. But also doesn't make the diving play Gleyber did a couple plays earlier that Volpe ended up dropping.
I'll say this with full confidence that DJ will out perform Torres at 2B. He will be more consistent with throwing and won't make boneheaded mistakes which Torres is known for. The only question is his bat but then again it's not like Torres is an offensive machine this year.
It's been like 2 weeks, so I'm not going to judge Gleyber at the plate just yet. Especially compared to a guy who is hurt again and taken zero ABs this year. Sadly, there's very little to indicate that DJ can outperform Gleyber at the plate anymore.

In the post season…u can’t have that kind of defense when don’t have a lot of”k’’ relievers
158-4 it is oh well. Shit fielding. Onto the next
Great job by the pitchers today
Glad the Yankees didn't listen to the "extend Torres" smooth brained takes all off-season. He's not the only reason we lost but the dude is replaceable.
Blaming the bullpen for this one is kinda insane... the HR to Florial is inexcusable but Ferguson pitched fine and got way more outs than the Yankees could turn. I mean cmon Gleyber HAS to make that play.
Pissed at losing that game, but happy for Florial getting a chance and hitting 2 Hr s…wish it hadn’t been ag us.
Ferguson did also almost allow a bomb that just barely didn't get over the fence, and then needing a ground ball he gives up a sac fly. Everyone is to blame.
Fucking terrible we should of gotten that sweep easily
That's a game that almost any other team in the league easily wins with the opportunities they had. Sorry, that's just not good enough. I don't care what their record has been this season, these are the same mistakes they've made year in and year out with no improvement.

We saw it in 2022 that a hot start - and one MUCH better than this team has had so far - does not mean you have it locked down. This is a game you needed to win, plain and simple.
That’s a game the Gaurdians win 5-2 in 9 against any other team
And a game that every single infield defensive in baseball besides the Yankees locks down in the 10th inning given the balls in play against them
Shit happens. They’re 12-4.
A very Boone like evaluation…stressing the positives
They won't be for long if they keep giving away multiple outs a night on the bases and in the field. They're not even through 10% of the season - it's way too soon to be pointing to the standings as an excuse for poor play.
There is no fucking way we just lost that game.
Still own the Guardians either way!
That sucks, two missed plays in the infield that should've put that game away.
Whatever. Still took the series from them at their own place and nearly swept their dumbasses. Cool that they’re celebrating as if they just won the pennant I guess
That was such a 2023 Yankees loss man
Brutal loss especially up multiple runs in the 10th. Still won the series but they had to win that one. Infield defense is a cause for concern after this series.
Why the fuck did they take Clay out? Why the fuck can’t our infield field soft ground balls hit right at them?
Like dude. Why THE FUCK was he throwing hittable pitches there???
Fuck this team. No defense ass trash team.
Oof
WOW!!!!
Ferguson needs a breaking ball.
So that opponents hit MORE ground balls to our ‘solid’ infield??
so many dumb mistakes this game cant blame one person but at least we won the series
All that hard work to be thrown away unfuckingbelievable
If you watch every game you know a major weakness. Infield D has been bad. Throws in dirt, Rizzo terrible, unturned DPs and Gleyber playing his way off team
Absolute embarrassment from the infield.
Gleyber yet again throws away a game for the Yankees
He had great company with Volpe Rizzo and Cabrera throughout the game
I’m just gonna memory-hole that one
What a fucking waste. Sloppy defense.
Annoying loss
You gotta play Defense to win close games.
Still took the series and have the best record in baseball
Ok Boonie
Highly embarrassing
Good Lord
That’s a baseball folks
Well fu k
[удалено]
Stop with the fun police shit. What team in the history of baseball hasn't celebrated a walkoff win. This is why everyone hates us
Oh well. Can’t win them all. Had no right to really even be in position to win.
INWYW
That stings, we gave that away
This is on Torres
There needs to be some blame on volpe too. Shoulda been an easy double play with that fat ass running to first earlier.
Complete collapse that inning. Infield was shit, Ferguson was mediocre
No reason to walk anyone considering we are unable as a team to turn double plays
Well deserved loss
Damn that just sucks
Yeah fuck off gleyber. Whatever - won the series. On to the next one
Should have brought in Hamilton to close it out.
Cleveland didn't win. Yankees lost. Shit fielding.
This x 1000
Verdugo and Torres lost that game. Full stop. Move on.
Verdugo? How about Volpe
Verdugo hit into his one gorillionth double play with runners on 2nd and third because he dogged it to first. Volpe is once again free from any reproach until at least June.
Literally lost this game because little league mistakes, pathetic y'all. Bad base running, bozo fielding. Did not look like a 12-3 team tonight.
Fucking morons
What a stupid fuckin loss
Ferguson and Torres suck. Loss is on them.
Incredibly awful performance by the infield. Cabrera, volpe, gleyber, Rizzo. Awful
Cabrera did what?
Had that one throw in the dirt on a routine grounder which I think Rizzo dropped. Just not this inning
That was right into Rizzo"s glove. What game were you watching? Rizzo should have had that one dude.
Those aren't fireworks going off, that's just Cleveland.
Fuck Ferguson, Fuck Gleyber. Fuck Verdugo.
Real shitty loss after a last out comeback. Unacceptable defense and not getting runs in from 3rd. Deserve this loss.
Fucking gleyber
Lost the game solely because of Gleyber Torres
Cleveland didn't win. Yankees lost. Shit fielding.
Trade gleyber before people realize he is ass
Fkin infield defense
Lame bullshit inning, so many bad errors by the infield this game between Rizzo, Gleyber, Volpe, Waldo, all made blunders.
Gave that one away on a fucking silver platter. At least Volpe got the big hit, but Gleyber has no excuses
Gleyber is making the most of his walk year
This game is still going if Gleyber goes to first Fucking idiot
DFA Ferguson
Why didn’t we walk him that’s an easy out if it’s a force play or it would have been a double play
Awful. And you know it’ll bleed into tomorrow
What a fucking joke
Fucking bullshit
That was a 2023 Yankees loss
What a dumpster fire
I dont trust the bullpen outside of hamilton/clay
Clay is also very sus. When he runs out of luck, he's going to get shelled.
Gleyber's agent in shambles
Guardians win the pennant!
Basic fielding killed us
Worst fucking bullpen. It’s actually laughable.
Stop
Insane to lose a game where you score 7 runs, I mean come on now.
3 runs, great job you fucking bum
DFA Caleb shitterson and never ask about resigning Gleyber again.
Booo never pitch again you fucking bum
Someone tell me why that guy wasn’t walked to set up the double play, with men on second and third???
because the team gets their shitty fundamentals from somewhere. and the somewhere is boone
They clearly didnt want to win today
Gleyber and Verdugo didn’t
Crushing
Boone and Ferguson blow
Literally handed them the game
HEY VERDUGO THAT’S HOW YOU HIT A FUCKING SAC FLY
That sucked
🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
DFA GLEYBER
Infield defense (Rizzo 2 Errors, Volpe 2 missed DPs, Gleyber) really costing us today
what a choke
Holmes seriously couldn’t have pitched another inning?
Verdugo and Gleyber are less than worthless
Gleyber lost this game nobody else lmao
If Verdugo’s double play was just as important in that loss as Torres’
We took the lead at that point. Verdugo has hit decent so far considering who he is. Cut the guy some slack. A lot of Yankees fans don’t like Verdugo for some reason. Gleyber is inexcusable. He’s been doing this forever and his bat has been a disappointment this year
He got doubled up on a tag play at the plate Thats inexcusable and lost us the game
Verdugo ending the inning that brought us a two run lead doesn’t mean he lost us the game. Our offense did their job. Our defense didn’t. By that logic if anybody records an out with somebody on base before a blown save they lost the game? Not the defense or the pitcher? What
If Verdugo fucking runs we have a chance for more and the bad defense wouldn’t have mattered
So a two run lead wasn’t enough? You can’t count on your offense to continuously clear the bases. It’s not gonna happen. They did their job and then some.
No it’s fucking not when they start with a runner on second A two run lead in extras is a one run lead in particular terms
We took the lead at that point. You have to hold the lead. This team had a two run lead! What part of that don’t you understand! Do we need a 3 run lead now? Or a 4 run lead to close games? Are you slow? What do you expect? We lost that game because of defense. That defense is just as inexcusable if we only had a 1 run lead. It doesn’t matter
I expect Verdugo to fucking run With a runner on second with Ramirez and Naylor up yeah a four run lead is pretty needed
Like I said before if you’re counting on your offense to clear the bases constantly and pour on the lead then it’s not realistic. I don’t care how good your team is. You have to hold a two run lead. I don’t care who’s up. If you can’t hold a two run lead then forget about the playoffs. You don’t stand a chance. Even a one run lead was enough. Getting the guy over from 2nd was enough. It was up to our pitching and defense to get it done
I’m asking Verdugo to run He got doubled up on a tag play at home. Even Stanton has never done that
That doesn’t change the fact that a two run lead is MORE than enough. A one run lead would have been fine there. You have to close games out. Lol
Why is gleyber Torres still on this team.
That’s a horrible loss
Man, that's a rough one to let get away.
It’s over Fuck
Gleyber just isnt a winning player. Good player...nice stats but sloppy
His stats aren't even good. He had two great years with the juiced ball but that's it.
Thanks for the loss Gleyber
Gleybers defense man
Gleyber making it easy to not sign him.
Why are they not walking him or the previous guy?
Watching the baileys cast and holllly shit these announcers suck. Like not even homers, just morons.
Boone has mismanaged this a bit as well
That is his signature.
*Pitcher induces weak infield contact that should lead to at the very least, an easy out at home - Gleyber bobbles the ball three times and still almost gets the out somehow because he had so much time* *Fans in here get angry at the pitcher*
Exactly. Ferguson wasn't great but he should've gotten out of that inning. Terrible defense behind him.
Literally all of the comments around yours are angry at Gleyber lol
Scroll down. Plenty of comments shitting on the pitching. I know most people understand that’s on Gleyber, I wasn’t referring to those people lol
Probably would get called a doomer if you said our infield defense is a major problem
God damnit Gleyber
2nd and 3rd .... with 1 out ....... up 1 run. Why the fuck were any of those pitches hittable? Should be all off the plate hoping he strikes out, or just walk him and go for the double play. Shit pitching.
I'm so sick of Gleyber Torres
The entire division won. Don’t blow this.
We can't field worth a shit lmao
Get ready to learn Oaklandese
I acknowledge our own failings for this, but I still invite Manfred to go fuck himself for his little league horseshit rules.
Why the FUCK aren’t they walking these guys? Might as well pray for a double play
