No longer tied for most blown saves. Our guy stands alone!

When we think we have already suffered the worst defeat of the season, the Yankees surprise us with something more disastrous like today's game. Simply incredible.

@@VladimirMesa I was at the other “worst” defeat - when Holmes also blew a two-run lead in the ninth, needing only one strike to seal the deal. It was vs. the Red Sox on July 6th. That was brutal. Even worse, I got there an hour and a half early to get the Costanza bobble-head and they were already gone. So not even a consolation prize trinket for Holmes’ horrible blown save. I think today’s loss was even worse, but at least I didn’t pay big bucks to experience it! Again, poor Ben Rice.

Holmes did pitch badly but he did his job by inducing that grounder to Volpe. And then induced that catchable fly ball to Verdugo. So he didn’t pitch well, but definitely well enough for the Yanks to go into the AS Break on a big high in 1st place. I feel really sorry for Rice! He should be celebrating now as the big hero of this game.

Derek, I don't know how you do it. Hard to watch things like this and keep your sense of humor...and your lunch. Whenever I see Holmes take the mound, I gotta say I always like the other teams chances from that point on. A hit, two walks, Volpe's bungle and then Verdugo's Vaudeville show? It's like they put little league kids in pinstripes in the 9th. Most catastrophic collapse I've seen since...?

That ground ball was one of the easiest plays I've ever seen. And why was Verdugo charging an obvious deep fly ball?

Was at all 3 games this weekend Weaver looked amazing, should be the closer

Volpe has been getting errors all year but since he's the golden child nobody can ever criticize him. This team does none of the litte things right. They don't run the bases well, they barely throw people out on the bases, they don't defend, they get runners on base and they don't hit or atleast move guys over, they can't even bunt,they can't close games, they can't throw strikes. This team is either home run or bust on most nights. Could we make a serious case for verdugo getting traded and playing Grisham when Giancarlo come back and eventually Dominguez. Maybe I'm overreacting but atleast when Grisham gets legit playing time he can give us some home runs since that's all we can do anyway lol. We might as well try to get something for Verdugo whos probably an all around better player.

What a fucking disgraceful finish‼️

I wouldn’t put it on Holmes, he’s been a mediocre pitcher but 2 errors by Volpe and Verdugo that would’ve ended the game w/ a Yankees win are what screwed us

You could not script for a movie what the Yankees did to themselves in that inning.Holmes put them on the bases,again,and Volpe and Verdugo did the rest.

If Clay Holmes is allowed to continue as closer after the all star break Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone should be investigated for negligence. This man is NOT A CLOSER! Deer in headlights look every time in a big spot and he has a knack for blowing the most soul crushing momentum killing games. How much more do we need to see??

Holmes, Volpe and Verdugo were to blame, but your point on Rodons outing big! 4 innings and 98 pitches bad!

Would've been better without the HR to take lead - Gave Baltimore a high for 2nd half !

Should have won but how come Vivas never played? Boone afraid his boy DJ lose his spot?

This game killed me today. We have a 300 million dollar payroll and still have so many holes going into the trade deadline. I do not think that we can fix our problems. Holmes can not protect a 2 run lead but Volpe & Verdugo are the reasons that we lost the game more than Holmes.

Only a few years ago, it was the Yankees winning games in last at-bats. All the great Yankees games since 1996 had great comebacks in late innings. This team is a head scratcher. Terrible infield defense, little leaguer mistakes in the outfield, too many walks. Can’t count on any pitcher to give us six innings and their replacements are spotty to terrible at best. It’s truly amazing we are only a game back in second place. Red Sux coming in strong though - second half will be tough. We need some help.

Volpe has the 9th inning jitters. He's done this a hand full of times.

Holmes is a disgrace.

We should all be happy for the next few days but nope we can't have good things.

Verdugo looking like DJ, hopefully neither figure in next year’s plans. DO NOT TRADE SPENCER JONES.

In terms of weather that was one of the most brutal games I ever had to sit thru in person. I never seen more Dasani water bottles in one place in my life.

Like a lot of people have said if Volpe makes that play nobody's talking about how much Holmes messed up.

I went crazy when rice hit that homer and all for naught

Why bring a guy up to sit the bench , leave him at triple-A. He could get more at bats . DJ is doing nothing for us , what do we have to lose. If you’re going to bring a guy up, use him. I can’t believe you’re playing JD Davis , when you have young guys that could help us out, like Ben Rice is doing.

Our All-Star closer!!!

This loss can be a blessing in disguise because the yankees need to make some changes before the deadline and if we won tonight maybe the tendency would be to think " we are fine" but now they need to gave the music and realize we gotta do something.

Imagine if we had Mariano Rivera in our bullpen. Having a closer that was automatic like Mo was something we took for granted I pray to god we get ourselves a legit nasty closer.

Clay Holmes is good to increase our metabolism.

Pitching and defense wins World Series championships 15 years and the Yankees still have not figured that out

My son was at the game, he saw Mason Miller enter Camden yards

I have never believed in clay. Even when he had a zero era for awhile this season, if you looked into it, didn't deserve that era. Now we're seeing the real Holmes. Gotta demote him from closer, he's holding the team back

Holmes is not a closer but AV has to make that play!

It's almost like it was scripted, lol!

This season out of all the games I’ve watched it seems like verdugo is one of the the worst baseball players I’ve seen he’s mis handled balls in the outfield multiple times this year when he’s batting he’s like an automatic out I’m not mad at volpe but ya verdugo is just very bad idk how he’s in the MLB

I’d honestly like to see rodon and Verdugo traded at the deadline but I can’t imagine them having any trade value

At least the Yankees won't lose till Friday

I'm not gonna roast Volpe over the coals for the error because he has played decent defense for most of the year. It's just unfortunate that he made an error at a critical juncture in the game. If I had been managing the game I would have brought in Cole or Cortes to get the 3 outs. With the Allstar game these guys have 4 or 5 days to rest so a starter could have pitched 20 to 25 pitches.

Now have to get a closer as priority.

Didn’t we hear “worst loss of the season” when he 1. Blew the last KC game and, 2. The Boston game at the stadium with 2 strikes, 2 outs?

What a sad end of the series. Up 5-3 going into bot of the 9th.... Cardiac Clay strikes again ! :-( . Rodon is Kevin Brown 2.0. I knew we'd be lucky to get 4 2/3 ip from him and we couldnt even get that.

Why we still using Holmes......frigen reerees just wanna lose..... reduculous

Can you believe kimbrel got the win?😮

How tf is he a fxcking all star

Sox did a good job moving on from Verdugo

It wasn’t all on Holmes but granted every time he pitches he gives up base runners and these things happen he is a great 8th inning guy but this team does not have a legitimate closer he is not a lights out closer no matter how much Micheal Kay shoves it up your ass always drama and no lead is safe with him but it wasn’t on him today but he contributed

What do you think does soto still want to be a Yankee

Dude couldnt find the strike zone . Nobody was swinging !!!

Yankees need to buy buy buy and at some point get rid of 3 or 4 players. Maybe 5 or 6

Yankees should promote Jack Neely and when Poteet, Schmidt, Brubaket return from the IL, or a minors starter like Will Warren promoted and pitch effectively, Cortes or Gil can help Neely, Weaver, and Tonkin in the bullpen and Rodon, Holmes, Torres, Kahnle, and Trevino can be traded away and the payroll can be reset under the luxury tax so that the Yankees can acquire other players and greatly increase payroll flexibility.

Weaver should’ve been closing games weeks ago. Another issue of blind faith with cashman. Can’t admit when he’s made a wrong decision.

Verdugo played right field for the Sox not left there was a reason why

How about Tonkin for the closer role

Yes Volpe made and error but you do not walk 2 and give up 2 hits. He is not an all star but he is going and the only placebhe should be going is to Scranton. Is it Boones fault for not letting Weaver or Cousins pitch further into game but don't bring in Holmes .

I hope they are conservative at the trade deadline and play the young players in the second half.
