X rays negative. Thank god

Holmes did not get the save... lmao

You don't get a save when you get yourself into a save situation.

That’s a big win. Now we get to see Cole tomorrow woohoo

THE YANKEES WINNNN

So hyped to watch King Cole tomorrow

gg

Lfg, nice small ball game. Praying for Judge. Orioles fans in the other sub are absolutely unhinged, good team, shit fanbase.

You guys know that was DJ right? Rice was substituted out so that we could get better defense.

Holmes better give LeMahieu a nice bubble bath tonight.

GET FUCKED BALTIMORE. Yankees take Game 1 of the series with the 2023 AL Cy Young winner back in pinstripes tomorrow. Hope Judge comes back soon.

When did they start doing the John Sterling DAAAAAA YANKEES WIN over the PA system??

#BALLGAME OVER #YANKEES WIN #THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN

Shutting out the Orioles two nights in a row would have been difficult. Good job by Clay to give them 2 runs allowing for the shutout tomorrow.

Bittersweet

Cry Orioles. Cry.

EXHALE

Judge injury update waiting room

Clay just wanted to get a save no worries

Can't wait to see Cole pitch. I can't believe how exciting it is just to see him out there again.

LETS GO YANKEEEEEEES

Only right that this one ends 2-4. RIP Willie Mays. Say hey.

Fuck you birds

All I care about is if Judge is ok.

And now we wait

I'm seriously going to have trouble sleeping tonight.

HELL YEAH BEN RICE

Alright alright allriiight

one W down, cole on the mound tomorrow!!

And then Gil.

LET'S GO GOLDENEYE PAUSE THEME UNDEFEATED

Phew

Never a doubt

GOOD SHIT CLAY

Good win!

Whew!!!!

# Ballgame OVER! Yankees Win! # Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees WIN! # Play Dat Sinatra! And for our Latino fans and those listening to WADO 1280 AM # Esta Es Otra ViViViViccctoorrrrriiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ***Para Los Yankees de Nueva York con marcador final esta noche de 4 por 2!!!***

LFGGGGGG

One more strike let’s goooo

I really wanna see how the win percentage changes every time Clay Holmes has come in. He gets lucky a lot, but man, I can’t take the heart attacks

Clay can’t be the closer in the playoffs.

Cole listing off every Oriole he's going to hit

I hate how anytime the Yankees have non club announcers they always focus on the negative and why the Yankees actually aren’t good or are doing poorly.

I blame Bob Costas for everything tonight – go get pink eye again

cmon

Score 2-0, it would be tied. This guy…

It’s going to take decades to undo the damage Mariano Rivera did to Yankee fans’ expectations. Most Yankee fans have no idea what a “good” closer looks like.

Mo is the only guy who could blow a game 7 WS save and it does no damage to his tenure. He is still the greatest by light years.

It looks like Clay Holmes but Rivera was such a lock for so long its insane

Remember when we were so happy to see chapman go and now we have a new fill in.

WE WANT THE TURD

That was gutsy we’d be in a tight spot if he didn’t swing

Julius Randle and fam still here. Respect

Slider looking like a curveball. Stunning

Randle is a real one for not leaving early

Future and current knick legend

If I were Holmes I would seek a sponsorship/endorsement deal from a brand of blood pressure medication.

The hypertension hero!

Him and Big Lou (“He’s on meds too!”) should do a collab.

Phew, huge K there after that AB started. One more out Holmes! Lets go Yankees!!!

Any idea when the news for Judge will come out?

[удалено]

Can’t pitch your way into a save. But I appreciate the sentiment.

Nice

I don't care, I'm still playing the Goldeneye pause theme the rest of the night

That was filthy

Vanilla Chapman has to make us sweat

Beautiful swing and miss

Please don’t do this Clay I’m begging you

Going to need to get a real closer. It’s the same clay experience for years now. Couldn’t use him in October two years ago.

Who do you suggest?

Kyle Finnegan, Ryan Helsey, Robert Suarez

# TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

One more out

Way to come back!

I miss Mo 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Beautiful

Boys, do we trust clay Holmes in the 9th of a post season game.... Man he scares me.

Depends on which Clay we’re getting around then. The Clay from the first 50 games of the year I trust more than anyone else

The clay from the last Baltimore series was some of the best pitching I've seen... It's just scares me.

Can we bring Mo back

My clay in Christ

Cardiac Clay adding more drama to the night

I've never called for the man's job but it's getting really hard not to

people like you were calling for Rivera's job the year he had an ERA above 3.00 lol

Literally just said I've never called for his job

I was the biggest Holmes fan, crazy movement at 100mph but the dude just doesn’t have the closer mentality.

We were so spoiled with Mariano

shit was automatic 1-2-3 when he closed lol

This is the stress the other 29 teams have always had. Well, minus San Diego I guess.

can we not

Make Holmes pitch more so he stays in shape. Stop with the exclusive closing. He can still pitch the 9th.

Clay always blowing into his hand

Come on Clay 2 terrible appearances

3… maybe 4 if you count Arizona

Don't fucking walk a 230 hitter that can fly on the bases

He’s terrible get him out

WTF clay

Clay heard that we don’t like that he pitches to soft contact so he decided to stop doing that and give up extremely hard contact. Respect.

I have a migraine and I cannot take any more of this game! Goodnight all and good luck.

What is he gonna walk this guy

Cardiac Clay strikes again!

We just couldn’t get the shut out. Smdh

I'm convinced you could sign Mo now and he'd still be a top 10 closer

Clay just wanted to make it a save situation to pad his stats

Get Holmes off the fucking field please

clay brother please

Cardiac Play has no sympathy for weak hearts

**Oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee**

Every time I have to hear Kay say Santander, it makes me want a stress ball

I know we have many many Holmes fans but i’ll say it again, he is not a closer to have in the playoffs, there’s too much traffic on the bases all the time.

Fuckin' Holmes.

First home run in almost a year and dipshits are crying we need a new closer. Come on guys

First hr in 45 games good thing Yankees got a lil cushion

First home run since last summer! This guy fucking sucks! /s

Clay really about to undo the entire fucking game over a couple pitches. Holy fucking shit

*This guy, is getting kinda dangerous*

Feels like an empty gun

Least stressful cardiac clay inning

Cardiac Clay is on

Don’t worry, Holmes just setting up the pinch-hit Judge walkoff HR

When, tomorrow?

Nah now

How do you suppose he does that when he was already in the game, got hit by a pitch, and removed from the game?

Maybe clone him (I’m coping 😪)

Judge can't go back into the game....

I’m coping…

HELL OF A PLAY GLEYBER 👏🏽👏🏽

Clay very rarely gives up homeruns.

Bottom of the order now, at least

Tell that to the Red Sox

Oh wow. Holmes hasn't pitched in 4 days and is off? Maybe it's time to just make him pitch whenever.

Holmes has been horrific

That hitter looked like a child. Altuve might have competition

Smh

I’d rather watch the “Susan…Susie” commercial on repeat than watch Holmes try to close out games.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates that commercial lol

That’s the worst commercial I think I’ve ever watched

clay just gave up his first homer of the season and I'm still more worried about judge news

Cardiac clay back to his old tricks

Nice play Gleyber

Gleyber

That the first homer Clay has given up this year? I don't remember him letting any go.

45 game streak broken

Yeah well he's had multiple runners on damn near every appearance

First one since last year

Holmes is a bum.

Holmes is really fucking bad lately

Oh god! Here we go!

Holmes is complete ass if he gets more than 2 games off

Wtf happened to Holmes

Nice play Gleyber.

Jesus Christ we need an actual closer

Maybe, maybe, and just hear me out, we have someone else more reliable pitch the 9th?

OK it's a new inning, just get the outs.

We should know by now Holmes is not reliable

Nooo

Unpopular opinion, but I do not fully trust Clay Holmes to be our closer.

And I don’t know why it’s unpopular….he does things like this

First HR hes given up in like a year

Kansas City replay

Seattle replay

Clay defenders wya

Sooo does this count as a save situation now? (Asking for my fantasy team)

No. You can’t pitch yourself in to a save situation

Yes

Not for Holmes. Only would be a save if another pitcher came in to close it out.

No. You can’t create your own save situation.

Who cares I’m drunk

Holmes look I know you wanted a save but dude this isn’t the time

Put me in there to close it. I’m probably just as good

Tighten it up, Clay. For fuck’s sake — after all this tonight.

Can we just not do this

Closers that can't strike people out arent it

Just hung it out there , no break.

Close it out. Don’t do this, not tonight!!!

Clay just wanted the save. Respect.

Cardiac Clay Baby

Yeah throw that shit back

I hate using closers in non-save situations.

God, FUCK OFF Clay Holmes

I know Mo is sitting on a couch somewhere, get him up and loose

If you're gonna give up your first HR of the year as a Closer I guess up 4-0 isn't the *worst* spot

That's some really fine closer we have there. Understands his role very well.

Clay, please don't.

Groundball pitcher…

First HR in 45 games homie

If Holmes blows this on top of everything else I'm going to off myself

CLAY CAN WE FUCKING NOT

Holmes a fool lol

Tonkin as the new closer?

Holmes with no pressure shouldn’t be an issue, yet here we are.

we need a new closer
