Bad.

Typical of Eovaldi to be butt for most of the start of this season and then lock in when he faces the Yankees. Anyway, Elmer's probably gonna lose his debut, and the nerves have shown in his shaky control, but he still deserved a better fate. Eovaldi's rolling.

Jasson Domínguez got pulled the half-inning after getting plunked on the elbow. The man has no luck. Ugh.

Martian sighting in left! Let's get weird on a Wednesday.

he’s here and he’s perfect

David Bednar is going to make me take up smoking but the Yankees have won their 20th game. Phew!

this is also me watching The Closing Styles of David Bednar

lmao how the fuck did this turn into an out at third and not a COMPLETE disaster

Austin Powers 💥

Jack Curry's reporting that George Lombard Jr. is being bumped up to Triple-A after hitting .324/.414/.595 in 19 games for Somerset. Hell yeah.

Gil McDougald from the afterlife when Judge passes him:

be vewy vewy quiet he's hunting Rangers

Donnie Baseball is the third consecutive Phillies manager with very close Yankees ties, following Joe Girardi & Rob Thomson. Also, Mattingly & Girardi both interviewed to replace Joe Torre after 2007. Thomson interviewed to replace Girardi after 2017. Just some funny, long game of musical chairs.

Bobby Murcer would've loved him some Aaron Judge

"PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME PLAY RYAN MCMAHON AT SHORTSTOP"

when you know that ball is gone

Now Matt Williams has been passed! Judge’s 379th career homer ties him with Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda & Tony Pérez for 75th all-time.

ben rice hive, WE RISE

He’s probably not officially retiring yet because he’s owed money through the end of 2026, but DJLM actually booted up the ol’ Instagram for the first time in 6 years and offered a belated farewell to New York. 🤖 💪🏻 ⚾️ 🫡

Welcome back, Jasson.

Aaron Judge's 10th homer of 2026 and the 378th of his career, passing Jeff Kent & Norm Cash for a tie at 77th all-time with ... Matt Williams? (Sure, I guess!)

Cashman's gonna get Rodón & Cole ready to take Gil's spot with an accelerated "Spahn & Sain/pray for rain"-esque rehab schedule

it is the most on-brand Reggie Jackson Story to be impressed with Ben Rice and ask David Cone to introduce them, only for Rice to tell Reggie that they'd met before lol

Jazz has had a nice resurgence this series, but god does he remain dogshit at ABS challenges. He can't be allowed to do it anymore.

if Breslow decided to fire Cora after the 2026 version of Luis Gil dominated them, that'd be fair tbh

happy birthday to this massive fellow

WHAT DID HE KNOW

WWWWWWWW

I mean they are now

he's also a worse second baseman than Alfonso Soriano

just realized the pitcher for the Astros is wearing #69, which somehow feels appropriate for how weird tonight is in general

the Red Sox firing Cora would be chef’s-kiss enough but canning Literally Jason Varitek is making me ASCEND

The Yankees are waiting another day before deciding if the Stanton calf injury is an IL situation. In the meantime, Ryan Weathers is back from Dadhood, and it's not Jake Bird going back down, but Angel Chivilli hitting the IL.

Right lower leg tightness for Stanton

BENJAMIN WILD RICE

"Better now than September" is official Giancarlo injury policy around these parts

Crawford Box Special, babyyy

Jazz continues waking up, ensuring that the bases loaded/no out inning isn't just one run. Good stuff.

when an Altuve fuckup leads to Yankees runs

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

bye bye Boston

Per @stathead.com, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler are the first Yankees pitchers to each go 8+ innings in back-to-back starts since ... Nestor Cortes and Jameson Taillon on May 26-27, 2022 against the Rays. Of course!

cam

am a fan of the Boston Slop Sox

good bit for Jazz's first homer of the year (at last) to be a poke around Pesky's Pole, not even the Short Porch, lol

Yanks good

I get it Juan

Brent Headrick is never not pitching, I'm beginning to understand

Jarren Duran swung at Pitch 3, and I love that for me
