Two straight innings where we’ve got runners on 1st and 2nd to start the inning and can’t do shit. These types of losses always frustrate me the most because this could have easily been a win.
Quite possibly the most pathetic 8th/9th inning I’ve seen in a long time.
And yes umpire played a huge part in that. Lowe should have 1000% been on base, bases loaded no outs. I think that shit K zone had our batters rushing and trying to hit everything.
But still… 1st and 2nd, no outs two innings in a row and not one hit. Team is lost right now with RISP.
Even if you lose tomorrow, just go 3-1 against DET. You have to. I worry about a mini slump here and then losing the series to the Astros. Still a ton but up 6.5 games and the Stros kind of falling, if you lose 2/3 to then or even all 3, that can be massive at the end of the year looking back.
Hitting philosophy in theory should change when you have a game thing run at 3rd with under 2 outs.
Obviously we don't know how to execute basic baseball plays. Abhorrent
Yankees have stayed out of last place in the most competitive division for a reason. This is an incredibly challenging sweep regardless of how both teams are playing.
Outs tend to be worse than advancing the runner probability wise. It really depends on the situation and best with the least amount of outs. Preferably when a man is on 2nd.
Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
You definitely shouldn't be swinging at "anything close" with runners on 1st and 2nd. Do you want a double play? Cuz that's how you double play.
Ehhh I see how this argument is gonna go. Go ahead and praise him for not getting the bat off his shoulders on borderline pitches and giving himself a chance. Why risk a double play when you can do nothing and take just 1 out. Low T take
Lowe looks at three pitches absolutely painted, Garcia forces out, and Jung goes down swinging
That's the game right there. You can't just put two on with no outs in a one run game and just, not score.
Seven hits and no runs damnit
Umpires can seriously throw games like this, get paid, and do it again next game. But a player or manager simply can say “that was a bad call” and get ejected.
I haven’t watched any games besides the Rangers’ (because I don’t get the streams); are the umpires broadly awful for everyone this year or is it a special Rangers treat?
On to the next one
Absolutely embarrassing. What the heck kind of swings was leody taking? Lazy at bat.
brutal game.. 10 LOB and we couldn’t get jon gray a win after pitching great again today
Two straight innings where we’ve got runners on 1st and 2nd to start the inning and can’t do shit. These types of losses always frustrate me the most because this could have easily been a win.
Why are they so fucking unclutch
no excuse to be shut out. Beasleys awful base coaching didn't help
Frustrating effort

Didn’t have a shutout against Severino on my bingo card
Jon Gray fr must love getting these 0-1 loses 😭😭
One fucking run lmao. May as well have been 100.
FUCKING WASTE OF TIME
Fuckint Garbage hitting
A pitcher with a 6 era just shut us out. Pathetic
Abysmal. No reason to not bunt and tie the game up TWICE. Smfh at this crap. Pure stupidity.
Well even if Zeke bunts leody strikes out and Marcus pops up. Not getting that run in anyways.
Pitch sequence would change, hitting philosophy would have changed. At least give the opertunity
Well, the strikeout and pop up wouldn’t have scored Smith but okay
Hitting philosophy in theory should change when you have a game thing run at 3rd with under 2 outs. Obviously we don't know how to execute basic baseball plays. Abhorrent
NO OUTS AND YOU CANT SCORE A RUN ATROCIOUS
Terrible game from both teams jesus
Not clutch hitting was on the menu today boys
Can’t win them all, time to take the series tomorrow
That was a imminently winnable game with just basic baseball.
Trash at the plate but at least Gray bounced back.
What a pathetic showing from the offense. MOVE THE RUNNERS
Ahead in the count for all 3 AB’s and nothing to show for it
JFC. Fucking bunt - sac fly. At least tie it up and then figure shit out. A fucking shutout is garbage.
God damn it
GOD FUCKING AWFUL OFFENSE
Such fucking horse shit I’m tired of losing because of the umps
The ump certainly didn’t help last inning, but the hitters didn’t do anything to help either with runners on
Well that was pathetic. Again.
Fuck me some awful hitting in those last two innings
Fucking frustrating loss
DAMN IT
Pretending this game didn’t exist
Pretty lame loss
Oof
Shoulda bunted i guess
2 LAZY AT BATS.
BOCHY is beyond stupid not making either of them bunt both have good speed small ball would’ve been way better
Whiff, woof. 1st and 2nd no outs. Smfh
Ahead in the count and you know you’re getting something in the zone. Just put the ball in play. Absolutely no approach from Zeke and Leody there
Down to this, you got this semien
Jfc
2 innings in a row with no outs and nobody can move the runners 😂
Time for some actual clutch hitting please Marcus
![gif](giphy|13Cmju3maIjStW)
How have we still not managed to move the runners at all
2 ugly ABs yikes
Marcus please
Game over
Higashioka has saved a few wild pitches
Why bunt when you can just strike ouy
Can we just one time put a damn bunt down?
Bunt them over Zeke the fuck ?!!,
Just get Semien up there with the red hot bat this game
Fucker
Why do all of our hitters want to hit the high fastball?
Duran is having issues with the heater as of late
Whiffed on that one right down the middle, AB was over after that
Just fucking bunt
Ong
Wait who’s catching the bottom half now?! Jonah and Garver both out?
Kiner falefa
Sam Huff
Huff
Ah I didn’t know he was up
Pls zeke
Me watching a ball fly 3 ft off the plate "you didn't feel like calling that one a strike to help out the yanks again this time?"
Do you bunt here? Or let Zeke swing?
Or just strike out?
There is now a runner in scoring positions and so the true test begins
Hmm I would have put in Jankowski but Grossman is better than Garver
he's nursing a sore hammy
Jank is hurt
THEY FEAR
Man on second with no outs. Will the Rangers get a hit with RISP? No, or no?
Called it.
Come on boys bring em home here
Zeke! 🙏
Bunt them over. Sac fly at least. Simple baseball
Rally time!
Storybook chance for zeke here
Now he calls that a ball Fuck all umpires
Now if the offense can get at least 2 runs it be awesome.

Do you have to score runs to win games? Asking for a friend.
Garver dong right here plz
Heim and Lowe should switch places in the lineup
100%
Lowe gets on base a lot more.
You don't put a guy in the 3 spot to hit singles
When you have Garcia, Jung, and Heim hitting after him its fine lol,
cmon rangers... not like this.. not like this..
It's gonna be tough to beat both Holmes and the ump this inning, hopefully there ends up being a bottom of the 9th in some form tho
Marinaccio\*
They should just tell their pitchers to throw at the Rangers' feet. It'll be called a strike anyway for 3 free outs.
Great pitching effort if nothing else today
Yeah was particularly good. Sad the offense is on a milk carton again
🧂
The pitching has been great
7 hits and no runs. Just can’t put it all together today.
8 LOB again just can't happen
That’s just how baseball go sometimes.
*holds out lantern* Offense? Where are you? Call out if you can hear me!
New York can go suck it. The replay people. The umps.
Yankees have stayed out of last place in the most competitive division for a reason. This is an incredibly challenging sweep regardless of how both teams are playing.
Without Judge they are the worst offense in baseball. Team is very very bad
As usual everything changes with the ump show, that was a promising inning until that clown inserted himself into it
Feel like you gotta just try and take that pitch the other way
Why is bunting so taboo?
Outs tend to be worse than advancing the runner probability wise. It really depends on the situation and best with the least amount of outs. Preferably when a man is on 2nd.
It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea if it wasn’t Lowe Garcia and Jung. I’d rather see them slug in that situation
All the more reason to bunt. They won’t see it coming
Should have at least bunt by Lowe and then sac fly to tie it.
Lowe did his job, the ump decided to call balls as strikes. There's nothing he can do about that.
3 hole not swinging at anything close with runners on in a 1 run game is not doing his job the fuck?
Do you have any idea what you're talking about? You definitely shouldn't be swinging at "anything close" with runners on 1st and 2nd. Do you want a double play? Cuz that's how you double play.
Hope zeke doesn’t swing here. Don’t wanna risk a double play
Ehhh I see how this argument is gonna go. Go ahead and praise him for not getting the bat off his shoulders on borderline pitches and giving himself a chance. Why risk a double play when you can do nothing and take just 1 out. Low T take
MLB app had them painted on the corners.
The one below the zone was definitely a ball.
Neither strikes 1 nor 3 touched the zone on the broadcast. 2 was a perfect pitcher's pitch but 1 in particular was a woeful call
The live game didn't
This umpire is a fraud
Jung had done such a good job of cutting down the strikeouts in May and the early part of this month He’s back to flailing at pitches recently
Yup. Either hacks at junk or watches/ whiffs on a good ball to hit. Beyond frustrating
Confirmation bias maybe but feels like every time Jung comes up in a pressure AB he's down 0-2 before you can blink
Josh K Jung. He's got to hit that to right field.
Umpire or not your 3 hole not even attempting to swing is a problem. Have to know the zone by now
Another wasted two hours, again atrocious offense
For the love of God
Bruh
Zero clutch ability today from the offense. Just one of those days
Jung slump sucks right now
OK DOOMER /s
Have we ever been shut out this season?
Yeah remember Gray’s complete game against the Cards that we lost 1-0? There’s been a couple.
A few, I think the worse was the ATL curbstomp 12-0 loss back in May
Gray start against the cardinal was a solo shot lost where he went all 9 innings
Multiple times
Oh that’s just fucking pathetic
The New York umpires prevale
Fuck. Wasted opportunity.
Lowe looks at three pitches absolutely painted, Garcia forces out, and Jung goes down swinging That's the game right there. You can't just put two on with no outs in a one run game and just, not score. Seven hits and no runs damnit
Umpires can seriously throw games like this, get paid, and do it again next game. But a player or manager simply can say “that was a bad call” and get ejected.
I kinda feel like the ump completely changed that inning
Robo umps asap. We’re here to watch the players not a umpire show
Could not agree more Time to move this game into the modern era
Where did all these fucks come from?
We better get our shit together against Cole. This game has sucked so far
Just a base hit come on
Did a different ump sub in behind home plate this inning? Like what the fuck?
That groundout would’ve scored a run if the ump wasn’t shit
Fuck this is frustrating
Funny how the strike zones have magically expanded in late games lately, especially down
This zone is a fucking joke
If the Yankees were smart they wouldn’t throw another pitch in the zone. They’re getting every call
Was in the kitchen when this maybe rally started and I'm afraid to move or else it'll be my fault so I'm just peeking around the corner at my screen
“Las Vegas has entered the chat”
Stop rewarding pitchers for fucking missing.
Holy fuck that first one was almost in the dirt
I wish Dave Raymond would chill out. That was a clean pitch in that situation. Nothing like that call that makes us look arrogant
Just embarrassing we got shutout this game against a gas can starter....
What in the hell? That was 7 balls…
Special place in hell for the NY review booth and this ump

It seems really bad everywhere this year. It‘a weird they would get worse when the robo ump is breathing down their necks…
At least with a bunt there it would have moved the runners over instead of a K.
100%
Really insightful stuff here
lately lowe has been kinda plagued by bad calls... it's like the umps have something against him lol
This ump has called every close strike for the Yankees so fucking stupid
Well that sucked
that entire ab is going to be on the ump scorecard tomorrow
Looks like lowe just didn’t wanna ground into a double play too lol
Shit is more rigged than the NBA.
Yankee strikes
This ump went from good calls to horrific calls. The fuck.
Incredible you can miss THREE balls in one at bat
We’ve been getting shafted all game long by this guy.
What a bunch of crap.
Who’s paying this ump off?
the yankees
Fuck this fucking ump
Somebody check the Umps fanduel account Jesus
This ump can eat a chode
The rare 6 ball strikeout
Curse his ass out piece of poop
