I may be cynical and over the top for this but watching these last two games have been utter scust and deplorable.
No reason to be losing these games regardless of Judge being out. These guys ain’t doing shyt.

The neighborhood play is still a thing even with replay.
Shouldn’t of happen in the first place if Boone’s dumbass doesn’t call for Torres to bunt the runners over.
Is like these motherfukkers are legit morons now that Judge hit the IL.

Still found a way to lose a game where Calhoun, Bauers, Higgy, and McKinney carry the lineup
And that 9th was vintage Boone. Worst manager in baseball
It's amazing how much Judge masks the deficiencies of this organization

The other top veterans played like absolute fukking dog shyt and played inexcusably.
DJ right now looks beyond washed.

the only reason why DJ doesn't get trashed more is because everyone wanted him back and not only did we get him back we thought we got him back at a discount.

Yeah for sure but the falloff has been glaring now.
Never seen dude strikeout like this before. May need to put him on the phantom IL and call up Pereza at this rate.

If McKinney, Bauers, and Willie can show up then the veterans have no fukking excuse.

DJ is so washed man it's sad
Looking at Anthony Volpe's metrics, there's still a lot to like about his prospects as a major league hitter.
He makes hard contact. He doesn't drive balls into the ground. And he walks a good amount.
He's been somewhat unlucky on his BABIP but it's not what's driving his numbers down.
The possible issue is that he's either thinking too much or chasing pitches and getting in bad hitters counts...which may be why his K rate is so high.
It's somewhat baffling that his numbers are absolutely horrible against LHP. That's where RHB should shine the most.
What he should do, for the moment anyway, is emulate his hero Derek Jeter and try to go the other way. Or at least up the middle/right-center. Just to re-calibrate himself. Go up there and be aggressive early in the count, but try to hit it to right. Trust his bat and gain some confidence, rather than trying to work the count only to find yourself chasing breaking balls out of the zone and MAYBE getting the occasional walk.
Not counting tonight, Volpe has seen an 0-1 count 121 times. By far the most of any count. Get up there and be aggressive, kid. They are NOT pitching around you.

I guess DJ just needed to go back to the leadoff spot it seems. 
Quite a conundrum because Torres is a better hitter for us in the leadoff role as well.
