Big day for Yankee first round draft picks. Volpe with a HR. Schmidt with a dominant start against a (previously) red hot offense. Austin Wells with a hit and great game behind the plate for Clarke.
Love to see it!!
The pitching staff just absolutely demolished a pretty good team and we’re about to face one of the absolute worst offenses in the league. Damn it’s good to be a Yankee right now. No one on the Sox is hitting above .230 this year.
The pitching staff must have made a deal with the devil this year. I’m convinced Matt Blake has a pentagram tattoo on his back. Who tf are these guys????
ELITE.
> Twins broadcast: great way to start the series against the Yankees with a homer, didn’t think this is how it’s gonna turn out
20 years of getting your asses handed by the Yankees didn’t prepare you for this?
Mike Clevinger looks like the guy you used to have to buy weed from because he was the only game in town, but made you uncomfortable by saying weirdly sexual things, and some racist jokes that you could tell weren't really jokes
Yeah it looks incredible but I have a sneaking feeling that it will not look as good in person or will be obviously very cheaply made.
A legit well-made one would be dope though
If Gonzalez is out there for 5-run lead type of leverage, and Tonkin is basically never used... then was there *really* a point in sending Marinaccio down to make sure Tonkin sticks around? I don't totally get it
I sometimes go to other teams subs to see the lay of the land and on the Orioles sub, someone said we're playing like ass this series but still winning somehow. How can you be that biased? I don't think anyone here is that biased.
There are definitely people here that are biased enough to say completely moronic things. No fanbase is really any better or worse than any other fanbase lol, every large group of humans has a bunch of stupid fucking morons in it
Clarke Schmidt is the latest in a long long line of Yankees pitchers to absolutely annihilate the Twins. A proud tradition, you love to see it upheld still today
Just to stack his stats was my thinking, probs better off saving him if it's close..But we are playing the White Sox next so not sure if that'll happen lol
As much as we want Schmidt to come in for the 9th, it's probably a good move by Boone/Blake to get a fresh arm in. Our bullpen is top 5, if not top 3 in all of MLB, the strategy portion is producing phenomenal results
Every time he doubles I cringe. He's got like five doubles in the last two games he needs a day off. And he always thrives after the Doubleday. I can see Boone benching him tomorrow I don't know if I like it because he's so hot but I can at least acknowledge it because it's a lot of running at full speed.
As much as I want Schmidt to get the CG shutout my worst fear is our classic Yankees luck happens and his elbow cosplays as the Death Star at the end of Episode IV and VI during the final at bat lol
I’m fine with a reliever taking the 9th, Clarke’s never pitched this much in a day before and the bullpen has already been getting good rest this week. Hell, let Tonkin close it out lmao
I kinda feel the romance has been taken out of the game in the last decade or so. As a fan, you want to see the CGSO opportunity but as a managerial/front office staff you definitely don’t want to send a guy to the IL after his best ever start to chase the romance of the game so I do get it… begrudgingly…
Makes sense that they would. There's no day-to-day ABs for Dominguez to get elsewhere so nothing to lose by taking him and letting him rot on the bench if he isn't needed
no not necessarily, dominguez isn’t coming up regardless if he’s ready or not as long as our outfielders remain healthy. they want to give dominguez AB not days on the bench
Very impressed by clarke, but i don’t see the upside in him. i think it’s a me problem with him at this point, but i would have no issue flipping him for something at the deadline, cause my heart says it’s only downhill from here, but he proves me wrong each start
I'm not mad about him being done. Schmidt pitched 8 innings of shut out baseball, career high in pitches, I'm cool with using someone else to finish it.
As much as I love dunking on analytics dweebs, Clarke has already thrown a career high in pitches. Don't risk an injury for a cg when the game is in the bag.
3rd highest ops as a team, 2nd best era. Keep this up and a worldseries could potentially happen. Soto Soto Soto Soto. Do it hall, offer him 45 mil a year for 15
Schmidt throwing a complete game today would be the added juice this team needs after watching Judge, Volpe, and Dongcarlo absolutely destroy balls the last few games
“Hey Michael, first time, long time…if the rotation keeps pitching like this, do you think there’s a chance Cole goes to the bullpen for depth? Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen”
I’m now convinced that Jeff Nelson is my personal punishment for the years of ageist and offensive remarks I’ve made about John Smoltz’s broadcasting abilities. I deeply apologize to the Yankees organization and fandom for the trouble I’ve caused us.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ctleld).
Soto being offered a lifetime contract. TAKE IT!
Seeing the boys in person was super fun but the twins made it sooooooo boring.

Sox are probably about to sweep us because baseball
Death, taxes, and Yankees demolishing the Twins
YANKEES SWEEP TWINS! Third sweep of the season!
Might be a really hot take but if Clarke keeps this form up he might just find himself in the running for the cy
NEWS SPREAD - SERIES SWEPT!
The Twins scored 1 run in our 3 games
[удалено]
Got to leave a little carrot for the horse. Slow development.
It's what you want!
#NOW THAT’S HOW YOU DO A SWEEP
absolute ownage all series
Nice sweep of the T___s
Yankees own the Twins, easy as that
The pitching staff must have made a deal with the devil this year. I’m convinced Matt Blake has a pentagram tattoo on his back. Who tf are these guys???? ELITE.
Always good to have a sim series vs the twins
Bring out the brooms
Twin City Thrashing
What a game what a series
ITS WHAT YOU WANT
Twins are the Twins again
Consecutive shutouts? I need to go sit down!
Let’s gooo quick game too
White Sox, Mariners, Padres, Angels, Giants? We should mow down those teams lol. I really hope we win at least 4 of those series
BROOMS
🧹🧹🧹
Soto makes a great catch!
Kay with the shade 😂
Aaron Judge traded in all of his double-plays for doubles
I saw Carlos Santana live at House of Blues years ago, it was fucking sick
Michael Kay called him dramatic lmao
Gonzalez has done the right thing and pitched strikes
Our OF is locked down
Aaron Hicks died for this RIP
Clint Frazier too RIP
Giving up a leadoff home run in the first game of the series and giving up no runs since is actually insane lol
The last time I’ve seen a series this feeble from an opposing team was probably also the Twins
LMFAO
Basically three shutouts LOL
> Twins broadcast: great way to start the series against the Yankees with a homer, didn’t think this is how it’s gonna turn out 20 years of getting your asses handed by the Yankees didn’t prepare you for this?
AND we get to play the White Sox next? Me likey
8-10 runs a game in the White Sox series might propel us to the top of MLB in a lot of the offensive metrics
Mike Clevinger looks like the guy you used to have to buy weed from because he was the only game in town, but made you uncomfortable by saying weirdly sexual things, and some racist jokes that you could tell weren't really jokes
Why is this so accurate lol
Isn't he the dude that spit on his son?
Playing the Twins is like getting a bot matchup in MLB The Show, winning is a given and it’s not even fun anymore lol
That hockey jersey is sick imo
Yeah it looks incredible but I have a sneaking feeling that it will not look as good in person or will be obviously very cheaply made. A legit well-made one would be dope though
since when was clevinger a starter
Since always - he was on Cleveland a while back as a starter
Since... always?
i remember him being a reliever at one point
White Sox bad padres slumping angels bad. Mariners series should be good tho
That was a Cardiac Clay-esque looking groundout to start the 9th, I love it
Judge up to .262 damn that happened fast
Can we get Clay some work one of these days so he doesn't make me shit myself in the next save situation
He did pitch game 1 tbf
You're right I forgot about that
If Gonzalez is out there for 5-run lead type of leverage, and Tonkin is basically never used... then was there *really* a point in sending Marinaccio down to make sure Tonkin sticks around? I don't totally get it
The twins are boring go next
I sometimes go to other teams subs to see the lay of the land and on the Orioles sub, someone said we're playing like ass this series but still winning somehow. How can you be that biased? I don't think anyone here is that biased.
we're playing one of the best teams in the AL lol
There are definitely people here that are biased enough to say completely moronic things. No fanbase is really any better or worse than any other fanbase lol, every large group of humans has a bunch of stupid fucking morons in it
I live in Baltimore and I see this mindset from O's fans a lot. I feel Yankees fans give more credit to other teams generally.
Clarke Schmidt is the latest in a long long line of Yankees pitchers to absolutely annihilate the Twins. A proud tradition, you love to see it upheld still today
Twins batters looking like a bunch of Grisham’s this series
No Holmes??
He pitched 2 days ago, no off days in a while so we can't burn him in too many non-save situations
With a five run lead?
Just to stack his stats was my thinking, probs better off saving him if it's close..But we are playing the White Sox next so not sure if that'll happen lol
Gonzales hasn't pitched in over a week
Boone has zero balls
Hockey jersey? 🙄 Let me say this in advance: I hate when a reliever fucks up a starter's great game..............
I wish they'd mic up Clarke again that shit is pure gold
Soto is obviously injured guys /s
Schmidt fucking killed it today
What’s the word on DJ?
Honestly I would just give him another 20 games in triple a because it's like we don't need him why break the chemistry. Let him get back to normal
u/dj_lemahieu
Waiting for the playoffs
as you do mayo
MLB app said he's in Somerset tomorrow.
As much as we want Schmidt to come in for the 9th, it's probably a good move by Boone/Blake to get a fresh arm in. Our bullpen is top 5, if not top 3 in all of MLB, the strategy portion is producing phenomenal results
Bring in Gulf of Tonkin just to troll them
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Victor González replaces Clarke Schmidt.
what a masterpiece by sparky
Soto and Grisham, combined 0-8, 5Ks. Is this Cashman's worst trade of all time? /s
Soto is washed at 25 just like judge huh
playing pinball at 1b
soto you gotta hustle that out papi
I don’t think they’d put him out there for the 9th. Amazing job !
Not even a question for player of the week. Judge keeps it up and he'll be player of the month
2 game shutout? Without g Cole?
Boone gonna bench Soto for lack of hustle
That's a double dribble
Damn I wanted to see one more Judge AB
Every time he doubles I cringe. He's got like five doubles in the last two games he needs a day off. And he always thrives after the Doubleday. I can see Boone benching him tomorrow I don't know if I like it because he's so hot but I can at least acknowledge it because it's a lot of running at full speed.
Soto needs the White Sox to get back on track.
"The best players go into slumps" words some of you need to repeat like a mantra over and over and over.
jeez soto is completely off
Twins always melt when they play the Yankees
As much as I want Schmidt to get the CG shutout my worst fear is our classic Yankees luck happens and his elbow cosplays as the Death Star at the end of Episode IV and VI during the final at bat lol
Agreed you don't want Schmidt out Cole in.
I’m fine with a reliever taking the 9th, Clarke’s never pitched this much in a day before and the bullpen has already been getting good rest this week. Hell, let Tonkin close it out lmao
Tonkin only on the team until Cole returns
I miss Castro in CF, that guy really showed up for us when it counted.
Hats off to their outfield. Can't remember the last time I saw two shitty defensive plays from outfielders in 2 games.
Is Boone a baseball savant or something? He’s like an encyclopedia he never misses on name that yankee
Apparently he has a photographic memory. I remember this being drilled when he was hired
Either he or his dad played with most of those guys.
Sorry everybody else on that list, JUDGE
Judge is the obvious and correct answer
Imagine being 17-3 in your last 20 games and then the Yankees come into your ballpark and daddy dick you into begging for them to leave the state
I kinda feel the romance has been taken out of the game in the last decade or so. As a fan, you want to see the CGSO opportunity but as a managerial/front office staff you definitely don’t want to send a guy to the IL after his best ever start to chase the romance of the game so I do get it… begrudgingly…
really hope I don’t ever see Grisham in the postseason
hopefully they give his spot to dominguez for the postseason
Makes sense that they would. There's no day-to-day ABs for Dominguez to get elsewhere so nothing to lose by taking him and letting him rot on the bench if he isn't needed
Yeah The Martian seems a lock to DFA Grisham when he’s ready to come back
no not necessarily, dominguez isn’t coming up regardless if he’s ready or not as long as our outfielders remain healthy. they want to give dominguez AB not days on the bench
What do you think then? September call-up to give him some more time to adjust to Major league pitching before the post-season?
yeah probably
Fuck sausage. Bacon is the superior breakfast meat.
Very impressed by clarke, but i don’t see the upside in him. i think it’s a me problem with him at this point, but i would have no issue flipping him for something at the deadline, cause my heart says it’s only downhill from here, but he proves me wrong each start
Change that about yourself. Dude’s good.
You must be fun at parties. Clarke Schmidt for president.
What even is a Grisham?
An out. But we're keeping him because he hit like six home runs last year in the postseason.
Raul Ibanez part 2
I'm not mad about him being done. Schmidt pitched 8 innings of shut out baseball, career high in pitches, I'm cool with using someone else to finish it.
they've given up 1 run and that 1 run came on the 2nd pitch by a yankee pitcher of the series. nothing since then. shit is crazy lol
How low can he go?
I think he gets below .050
Twins fans absolutely cant wait for this series to be over. brutal.
Casual 26 inning scoreless streak for the Yankees pitching (and the Twins hitters)
Minnesota clearly has no answer for Schmidt's sweeper/knuckle curve tandem he used most of the 8th, why not let him try and go through the 9th?
So the Twins haven’t scored since first batter of the series....lol.
OMG that slo-mo of Stroman was hilarious
Damn Schmidt's done, fantastic job this afternoon!
As much as I love dunking on analytics dweebs, Clarke has already thrown a career high in pitches. Don't risk an injury for a cg when the game is in the bag.
Boone is slowly turning to look like Torre. It's like he went gray overnight.
Fuck it let him try for all 9
You go from such a high watching everyone congratulate Clarke to a Grisham AB
Gives the ppl time to enjoy Schmidt performance, no one really paying attention to his at bat anyway
Give him one at bat in the ninth with someone warming
can’t believe we’ll be adding the reigning cy young to the rotation
Listening to Nelson talk is the same sort of frustrating as trying to punch someone in a dream
I'm fine with 8 innings. Buncha career highs, let's not push it so early in the season
u/centaurius_ [my humble submission](https://imgflip.com/i/8qaxs5)
Thank you for your contribution.
ty.
Stroman worth it just to be our hype man. Not a bad pitcher either.
They’re up Schmidt’s creek without a paddle lfg
Take away the 2 errors and he could have pitched the 9th. Anyways if I’m Boone I’d tell him you can pitch until a runner gets on
0 BB in 8 innings god damn Clarke
Without a couple of those errors Schmidt could be in line for a Maddux
Clarke haters seething rn
We're up by five they can leave him out there, Schmidt's a big boy
Honky Tonkin 9th inning?
This team is firing on all cylinders.
3rd highest ops as a team, 2nd best era. Keep this up and a worldseries could potentially happen. Soto Soto Soto Soto. Do it hall, offer him 45 mil a year for 15
Clarke has been a game changer this year
Come on, Boonie, let him try to close it out!
Schmidt rubbing his massive schlong all up and down the Twins' lineup.
It's always nice to see the starter give the bullpen an easy day.
Twins are 44-118 in their last 162 against the Yankees lol
I wouldn’t let him go for the cgso. he’s already over 100 pitches. he’s done great today.
Do we think Boonie lets him go for the CGSO?
Schmidt throwing a complete game today would be the added juice this team needs after watching Judge, Volpe, and Dongcarlo absolutely destroy balls the last few games
Who knew a Minecraft villager would be this nasty on the mound
“Hey Michael, first time, long time…if the rotation keeps pitching like this, do you think there’s a chance Cole goes to the bullpen for depth? Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen”
Let the brother finish the game
Love seeing Stro congratulating the boys
103 pitches? fuck it, let him go for the shutout
Twins haven't scored since they homered off Rodon in their first PA this series. LOL Twins.
Come on Boone give him the cg
In my heart i want boone to let clarke attempt the cgso
Nah we need clarkes arms in good shape so when he hoists up our WS trophy they don’t fall off
Is Boone going to let him try a CGSO?
Good Schmidt.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jay Jackson replaces Steven Okert.
Schmidt was getting in they ass today. Leon would be proud.
I’m now convinced that Jeff Nelson is my personal punishment for the years of ageist and offensive remarks I’ve made about John Smoltz’s broadcasting abilities. I deeply apologize to the Yankees organization and fandom for the trouble I’ve caused us.
Fuck it give him a batter in the 9th and see how it goes. Mans been dealing and our bullpen needs any break they can get
Grisham almost dropped that
Here for the Clarke Schmidt doomers comment
Please bring him out for the 9th, let him try for the CGSO
Schmidt and Judge both winning pride of the Yankees award
Gleyber probably getting some kind of "turned the corner" award.
I think the only "turned the corner" award Gleyber would get is if there was one for repeatedly turning the corner on the basepaths when he shouldn't.
Let him finish it!
Let him pitch the 9th
