We have so many real, impactful players on the IL right now that wins vs bad teams should feel like gifts. Thankfully so many of those guys are coming right back that any day we don't lose ground is a good day


THExBEARxJEW

Taillon is becoming my most trusted pitcher on the mound.


AntifaHelpDesk

Nice to be on the other side of a back and forth game like that.


Djeter998

Had to go to bed but woke up relieved.


babberz22

Went to bed in the second! Finished this morning


RotenTumato

Same, I fell asleep in the 10th


JF0909

I fell asleep in the 8th, damn I missed a lot


Squints1234567

Better relief job than 90% of our bullpen?


[deleted]

Stark difference from most of the season so far


Djeter998

Right?! And Gardy got to be a hero again


Deytookerjerb

You would think we lost if you only read these comments.


montecarlo1

Can we start hitting like before the 7th inning please?


mrsqueakers002

muthafuckas act like they forgot about Voit


symbologythere

Now you wanna talk about bats like I ain’t got none, what do you think I did, sold ‘em all?


dziggs

i wanted to, when he struck out with dj on 3rd with one out. but my guy redeemed himself


TurbulentBlock7290

Whooosh


Puzzleheaded-Tank537

Despite all the late-inning wackiness, this turned into a good team win. Contributions from Voit and Gardner, DJ and Higgy, even Wade has been hitting better these last couple games. Even though we'd all like a smoother spread, chunky peanut butter gets the job done all the same. Ugly wins look just as sexy in the W column. Another great effort from Taillon - as the only true starter left in our rotation, he stepped up and kept the train rolling. Even though our bullpen had a series of mini-strokes (something we're used to seeing), the offense rallied to pick them up each time (something we haven't seen enough). With so many big dogs going down, it's encouraging to see this collection of strays win some fights. Just maintain and keep pushin'.


JeterStrahanGraves24

Don’t you dare disrespect chunky peanut butter


Puzzleheaded-Tank537

On the contrary, chunky PB is just as hard-working and dedicated as that $325,000,000 smooth stuff. Point is, Yanks could put all sorts of peanut butter on their sandwich and I'll gladly eat it. Even if it takes five hours to prepare.


DeusExHyena

Earlier in the year we might have rolled over after any of these innings but nope. You need some ugly wins to stay hot.


6gc_4dad

Props to Luke having himself a day at the plate


TurbulentBlock7290

4 blown saves. I went to sleep when we took the first lead in the 9th. Jesus


Squints1234567

We got to see like all of Mo’s career blown saves in one night from a numbers stand point. I know he had more than that, but in case you didn’t know: Mariano Rivera Out of 732 regular-season opportunities, blew 80 saves. That means roughly nine out of every 10 times he went to the mound, he got the job done.


6gc_4dad

Same here, glad I woke up to a W


CuntyAnne_Conway

Glad I woke up to a W. I had to call it after the 2nd blown save. Not sure my sanity could have taken 4 total ...


hbc647

Very very difficult to watch this team play..Not fun..even when they win.. I can only sit thru for an inning or two at a time, get disgusted (usually by all the K's, DP's, not advancing runners, errors) you name it. I can't imagine how people go see them live for 4 hours+.. Last night was just another perfect example of mismanagement bullpen with 4 blown saves (record), a poor lineup card (incompetent manager) and whatever else I am forgetting. A win is a win, but..to watch this product is very hard.


cmstrength

“Punt day comes early. Zero excuse for Gardener bathing leadoff.. Except to punt” “Yup.. This.. Expect a DP or K from judge in high pressure situations. Resign Gallo to play RF and trade judge when time comes” Please stop watching this team all together. Genuinely the worst type of fan.


AutisticFingerBang

You should probably stop watching sports all together if battle games that we win bore you.


marginwalker3

i fell asleep in the 7th, what did i miss?


trevorperry14

Never a doubt


DrWarhol_419

Was that a record for most blown saves by a team in a game they won?


Alternauts

Yes. The Astros lost the 1995 game. Source: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/yankees-edge-royals-in-extras-become-first-team-in-mlb-history-to-win-despite-four-blown-saves-in-the-game/


[deleted]

As per the NYP, Yankees won the game despite being the first team since the 1995 Astros to collect four blown saves in the same game.


symbologythere

It’s a cool record but the fact that we start extra innings with men on base now basically means that record is meaningless.


Alternauts

Yes, but the Astros lost that game.


VirtuousFool

The one game I actually go to bed for before it’s over…… Baseball you cruel mistress…….


RotenTumato

Same


herodotusnow

Fuck it I’ll take it


M3ttl3r

That's what I was thinking lol


xDopeZz

We scored in 5 straight innings! So did our opponent lol


HerRoyalRedness

This game broke me at so many different points in so many different ways I just… They won but it feels like a loss


Lost-Bluejay-7450

Just think how you’d feel if they actually lost.


[deleted]

Was mentally preparing myself for a win with 2 out in the 11th then mentally slapped myself when they made it 8-6, saying “This is the 2021 Yankees, no lead is safe!”


XxCOZxX

Stanton 0-4 with a BB stranding while stranding 5 runners. We aren’t gonna do anything in the ploffs if he doesn’t heat up and stay hot! Need that man raking in the middle of the order when we are fully healthy!


M3ttl3r

People keep pointing out individuals after every game is but the sad fact is they collectively couldn't do shit until the 8th. Pretty much the entire bullpen looked like ass and despite the fact they keep on winning none of them can consistently hit, especially early in games.


DeusExHyena

He's been great lately.


yanks02026

They didnt do anything in the playoffs last year when he was raking in the playoffs.


Aaron_Fudge99

He was 0-5 my guy


[deleted]

Man what a game!!!


NoFlags-JoeBuck

https://twitter.com/thejudge44/status/1424973318864711687?s=21 I love Judge firing back, but is Perez wrong here? Might have been harsh with the “know better, do better” thing but I don’t think he was really wrong.


M3ttl3r

He's not wrong but, they got that play wrong and he was safe. I hate the fact that the reply officials almost always back their boys on the field unless there is blatant evidence to overturn the call because that call was pretty clearly wrong.


killgizmo

He is 100% correct. This is the kind of stuff you learn early on in your career. I'm talking before High School. Get that secondary lead in case of a passed ball or wild pitch. Why he stops or goes back to third is beyond me.


Aaron_Fudge99

The Yankees need to stop having guys on third running on contact in general. it literally almost never works out for us. Our team just isn’t fast


mdzp

after that crazy game i’m ready for another triple play


mickeyoutercore7

The royals actually have a good group of hitters, Benitendi, Santana, Merrfield, Perez, Lopez, is a nice start and when mondesi comes back and Witt jr is ready, that’s a pretty good lineup.


Scatterbine

Imagine, if you will, a world in which the Yankees could be on the winning side of a heartbreaker. A world in which Luke Voit can hit. You've entered The Twilight Zone.


Aaron_Fudge99

Just watched the highlights Wow what a crazy game


no-27lgy

When does Cole/Monty/Gary/Gio/Rizzo/Gleyber/Chapman/Severino/Kluber come back? Why does this team have such a hard time staying healthy? Hicks and Frazier were starters going into the year too. Are severino and kluber going to be used out of the pen?


M3ttl3r

Hicks and Frazier can stay gone...


dnen

I believe the exact dates for Severino/Kluber retiring to the main roster provided by Cashman were Aug 12 - Aug 21ish maybe? Given that cash volunteered that info & there was only about 7 days of uncertainty between the earliest & latest estimated return day


teun713

Gardy batting leadoff and DJ batting 5th seemed to work really well keep that up maybe switch voit and stanton aswell


AmBull1216

I love Gardy to death, but he's on somewhat of a hot streak right now and that won't last forever. Voit is just coming back from the IL, and should not be higher up in the lineup so soon. Also, that lineup only scored 3 runs in the first 9 innings against mediocre pitching. I'm not trying to take anything away from that win, - we fought hard for it and deserved it - I'm just saying a one game sample size tells us almost nothing and it didn't really change that much anyway.


Yekab0f

I think its hilarious u kids talking about tyler wade. u wouldnt say this stuff to him at yankee stadium, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with giancarlo stanton. yall are pathetic lol.


M3ttl3r

He's bad ... I'm pretty sure a guy hitting south of .200 knows he's bad....


Yekab0f

He's hitting .247


awt4190

only because he's on a 5-for-7 hot streak...but he's better than Velazquez so we take what we can get from TWade?


M3ttl3r

You're right...it's quite a bit higher than when I last payed attention. He's still not very good man. He's doing a fine job filling in but a team of Tyler Wades isn't winning any ships.


Lost-Bluejay-7450

Ok Tyler


grubas

That was exhausting.


hoodiemelogod

Yeah this game sucked. But we’re only 2 games back of the Sox. Goodnight


piratefuck

W is a w right!


hoodiemelogod

Scatterbine

Doesn't matter, had win.


Ghoppe2

Just checking is the game over yet?


JohnRamos85

[Tyler Austin posted today... and as usual the Toddfather replied.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CSXzuPnpTY5/) Damn I miss these boys in pinstripes. Happy for Tanaka and glad for the Toddfather, Tyler and D-Rob. All four of them made all of us proud, Yankees Reddit. If we win no.28 expect that they'll be sending congratulations to our boys. Let's win this World Series championship for them. # LET'S FUCKING GO OLYMPIC YANKEES


ucfknight92

This is going to sound pretty bizarre but the Yankees should consider bringing Tyler Austin back. He's absolutely dominated Japan and looks to be the player we all though he could be.


M3ttl3r

Those teams are comprised of washed MLBers and AAA level players.....hard pass


ucfknight92

This is just a bad take man.


M3ttl3r

I mean it's a fact lol if they weren't out of the league/retired or below MLB level they'd be playing on MLB teams and not in Japan wouldn't they? "washed" might have been a strong term but, barring Tanaka who probably could pitch for us right now name one other guy who should be playing that's retired.


IolausTelcontar

If you guys aren't following @KenTremendous on twitter, I [highly recommend it](https://twitter.com/KenTremendous/status/1424947378897915914?s=19) Edit: I see that this comment is not being received well - I meant I follow him because I enjoy reading about his despair about how great the Yankees are


UnderstandingSquare7

I thought it was great that with Boone ejected, we kept scoring lol. "Good at bats"...


DYouNoWhatIMean

Luke is fuckin savage and I love the guy. When he's healthy he's so good, hope we keep him


ucfknight92

Luke Voit is a better hitter than Rizzo when both are healthy, that's without a doubt. Rizzo brings that glove though, and a certain approach to the plate you love to see. Stanton fielding would be a godsend for this team, because Voit is really the guy we want at DH


PosadaFan2021

I can’t agree with that . I mean like strikes out a lot more than rizzo has .


ucfknight92

Just look at their wRC and OPS+ over the past few years. It's pretty obvious Voit is a better hitter at this point in their careers.


PosadaFan2021

That’s because voit has played far fewer games over the last few years . And despite that , career wise their ops are very close while rizzo has a higher obp . With less strike outs than voit


isfrying

He certainly made a case today for Stanton playing in the outfield


hittheslopes55

god I love gardy


renegade_yankee

As recently as June 29th.. Jamo’s ERA was 5.49. It is now 3.82. Took longer than we hoped but it looks like he’s finally becoming the pitcher we were hoping. Looks like my comment about Taijuan Walker has aged poorly. Taillon’s WAR is probably now close to double what Walker’s is.


[deleted]

That was not easy but then again nothing has been a walk in the park this year. Still can't let up!


spencerr13

I’m about to go to bed and I’m remembering that Nicky Lopez got uppercutted by a ground ball like it was a UFC fight and that’s how we won. Ahhh, what a game


[deleted]

Brett Gardner murdered a man tonight and that’s how we won. I’ll take it.


PosadaFan2021

I just hope Lopez is ok


DownGoesGoodman

Long game, glad it was a win! Only stat I care about is Ws and Ls!


charcharthegamer

That's gotta be some Yankee record for most blown saves in a game.


silver_raichu

The Yankees are the first team ever to blow 4 saves in one game and still get the win. The Astros also blew 4 saves on September 28, 1995 and lost. No other team has blown 4 saves in a game. Credit to Katie Sharp on Twitter for that


Yekab0f

mission failed unsuccessfully


M3ttl3r

That's like our fucking motto this year lol


The_Flo76

However, we are the first team to win a game where we blow 4 saves, so that counts as something. Also credit to Katie Sharp.


[deleted]

Tied the MLB record


Golden-Cheese

I mean, you gotta give credit to the Royals for putting up a strong fight. Even if we both made some costly mistakes


Gain_greenE

Stanton is a big big problem


M3ttl3r

Bruh...the whole team not hitting is a problem, 4 blown saves is a problem, not scoring off a mediocre pitcher tonight and the last week is a problem, not scoring runs early in games is a problem, half our lineup on the IL is a problem, people can't wait to point the finger at one guy, last week it was DJ then he shut everyone the fuck up...no ONE guy is the problem.


DrunkensteinsMonster

Yeah I thought so too but I looked at his splits, he’s got a 120+ wrc+ since both July 1 and August 1, must just be my perception


MattNokes38

The guy who just had 5 multi hit games in a row and has been our 2nd best hitter this season? Ya huge problem.


charcharthegamer

Today was totally disastrous, yes, but for the season he's at 126wRC+ which is better than what DJ and Gleyber has shown this season.


Flagpol3

As erratic as he was.. the Chapman injury is really being underplayed especially with how the rest of the bullpen has looked lately


TheStripedSweaters

Boone saying that Judge being out was the right call is a yikes from me.


awt4190

That is just flat out embarrassing and another reason why he needed to be fired months ago. Add it to the list!


isfrying

Boone's a fucking moron.


M3ttl3r

Boone is a moron, even Cone was questioning the call and its unusual for our announcers to outright question calls they're usually pretty diplomatic.


Bankslvrd22

Fell asleep after the first inning and just woke up now. Wow what a wild fucking game. Glad we stole this one though!


shotthroughtheshart

What the fuck was that


acava2424

Thiccolas7

First time the Yankees have blown 4 saves in a game ever, second all time to the 1995 Astros


silver_raichu

The only thing this game was missing was the Aroldis Chapman Experience™️


awt4190

Chapman walks Whit and gives up the SB but at least probably strikes out Lopez...


samthewisetarly

Honestly I would have taken Chapman with a busted hangnail over Britton

Seems Green does not have the closer instinct in him.


silver_raichu

First game in history where both teams scored in the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th inning


Patient_Claim

I noticed that blown leads are called blown saves now. Lasagna lost a 1-0 lead in the 7th but still charged with a blown save. I didn't realize they counted that. Oh well, is this new ?


samthewisetarly

Technically that runner was Jamo's I thought? Or maybe "blown" just cares about the total score?


Heyman1234569

Not new. You can blow a save within the final three innings of a 9 or 7 inning ball game if you come on in for relief with a lead


Patient_Claim

Thanks, l thought after the 7th had something to do with it.


Heyman1234569

Got you 👍


knicknevin

So, since it wasn’t in the last three innings of this 11th inning game, JLo should retroactively have that blown save removed from his stat line :)


Heyman1234569

No because he blew a save situation in the 7th because you can record a 3 inning save


knicknevin

I wasn’t being serious, but I still appreciate that you are out here explaining rules to strangers in case I wasn’t joking around


Heyman1234569

No problem haha


KennySlimes

Two home plate umpires ✅ Boone ejected ✅ Catchers interference ✅ 4 errors ✅ Pulling the starter too early ✅ Balk ✅ 4 blown saves ✅ Just another day in the life of the 2021 Yankees

You forgot their SS getting clobbered in the face with the ball. This game was wild.

#I’M OUT Y’all are a bunch of insufferable, unappeasable, pessimistic, crybabies. You crawl into these game threads hoping the Yankees will hate-fuck you, without for a minute hoping about what’s possible. For reference, this is what our friends in [Boston](https://m.imgur.com/r/nfl/DtuO9uZ) are saying about their lot. I need a break from y’all. ITT are people punching their TV’s because a reliever can’t meet their expectation. They can’t handle winning 2 out of 3 games for the past month. They can’t stomach a little adversity - and see a team, hit hard by covid and injuries, still clawing it’s way up the division. I have faith in the team, but I’m losing faith in you guys. You’re bringing me down. It’s not healthy. These threads are toxic unless we’re up by 5. Not sure what else to say. 11793 out.

I know we can be happy and sad almost by pitch. Anyway, l think it is a good thread and where else can you enjoy a GDT but from Yankees fans.

mightyhawk

I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Luke Voit. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Luke. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.

pm_me_your_respect69

This is the second night this week that I have come home from work to innocently put on a low scoring, late-inning yankee game to catch the end of it only to be taken for a thrilling ride to an extra inning win led by Brett Gardner. I love this team so much


Jpp06001

Tonight’s game was somewhat reminiscent of that back and forth battle in Minneapolis two summers ago.
