Yankees broadcast did the “he was going to be named Brock” joke 🙄

Good inning!

Bleeping hell Lee is slow

Damn he stung it

17 runs scored in a shade under 20 innings this series 😳

Royceeeee

Good inning!

Bradley all over the place

Martin thriving

Judge did because jazz was signaling safe instead of signaling to slide

Just couldn’t get out of the inning without giving up a run

Makes a lot of sense, though I’m not buying Daniel Jones yet

I agree but not so much with that first paragraph. They did win 14 games last year so I don’t think it would have been a hard sell that they were expecting to contend. If anything, I think they would have opened themselves up to questions about mccarthy’s readiness had they resigned Darnold. Which, IMO, they would have totally been justified in doing since the guy missed the entire season. “Our plan was to have JJ start in 2025 but the injury changed things” I don’t think would have been a hard sell to the fans. Just my opinion. It would have helped if Darnold was merely average in those final two games instead of looking like the moment was way too big for him.

If you say so. I was definitely a non believer coming in, but I was for resigning him before the meltdown games.

I don’t know why you keep saying that I’ve wanted everyone benched. I liked Kirk much better than most of the people here. I’m sure of that. And Darnold only had a bad game or two before the last two of the season. So I’m not really sure who I called to be benched? Dobbs? Jaren hall? Cripes I even liked Mullens more than anyone else here lol Darnold could have probably been benched in either of those last two games, he was that bad and we were desperate

They did show him getting taped up during the game. Also I noticed wentz was stretching on the sideline in a way that indicated he could be coming into the game. I buy that he dinged up his ankle, not knowing the severity of it, I bet if he had been playing well, he probably doesn’t go on IR.

Thoughts on McCarthy… He was set up to fail this season. I don’t fault the Vikings for drafting him. But the minute he was injured last season, he was going to start 2025 in the same spot as he left 2024. Standing around in street clothes with an ear piece in listening to the playcalling chatter will never be a substitute for live game action. Had he been able to suit up in games and practices last season, I think maybe he’s in a much better spot than he is right now. This was never going to go any other way than it has to this point. Ideally, if healthy, he could have had some garbage time mop up duty in the few blowouts we had last year. Just to get his feet wet. I’m a big believer in easing QBs into action. Remember, even mahomes sat the bench his first year in KC. Only 35 pass attempts in one game. But the injury kept JJ in arrested development. You also wonder what the team could have done had Darnold not completely turned into a pumpkin in those final two games. The Vikings almost had to move on, he was that shockingly bad. Or could they have brought him back on a one year deal and kept JJ as the backup, with a similar approach to what would have happened last season? I’m not as versed in the salary aspect as some here are, but it’s a shame Darnold played so poorly in those two big games. It would have been much more ideal to ease McCarthy in instead of what they chose to do, two primetime national TV games to start your career. Results have been not unexpected. Tall ask for anyone, especially a rookie with questionable talent. The injury is a blessing in poor disguise for the Vikings. This season, realistically, is a loss anyway. The Vikings are the third best team in the division, and that’s probably without all the injuries. Whatever wentz does is whatever. He’s probably not even been here long enough to know the playbook. At least he probably won’t be a deer in the headlights like McCarthy has been. The schedule, especially after the bye, is brutal. Not pulling the plug on McCarthy, but the 4 weeks off is probably for his own benefit. Doubt he’s on IR if he came in and played well Nick Mullens is backing up in Jacksonville, should have kept him! 😉😂

Terrible swing Royce good comeback, made em sweat at least

LARNACH LETS GOOO

Jeeze Austin take a few

What a bullpen effort tonight

CMON BOYS

You don’t steal third on Mickey Gasper

I agree

I really don’t think the Yankees fans would ever get over the humiliation of blowing a 9 run lead vs the twins
