    Maybin was activated today. Tarpley was sent back down to AAA to make room. I understand the move but poor Clint Frazier. I'd be surprised if he isn't moved in some deal for a starter.

    The only good thing about getting stomped like that from the 1st inning is that it frees up the rest of your night.

    I haven't checked the score but I assume the Yankees came back and won by 10

    What the hell 7 runs after 1 inning.. Is this game being played in London???
  5. bkzwhitestrican
    I think Gardner was IL'd more for roster flexibility. The bullpen is a little spent and they wouldn't have been able to call up Tarpley without someone going on the IL.

    That's pretty huge. He was just starting to pitch well again. So I guess the Rays will have two starters and three openers now?

    Last year the Yankees barely set the single season HR record with 267. The stars aligned with Torres, Andujar, Didi, and Hicks entering their prime; Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez continuing to be sluggers in their prime; and other power hitters offering various contributions throughout the year such as Voit, Bird, Neil Walker, Tyler Austin. This year, four teams are on pace to surpass 267 HRs (Twins, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees) with two more on pace for about 265 (Astros and Mariners). The leader of the group, the Twins, is on pace for 311 HRs (44 HRs or 16% more than last year's record). What took a lot of things going right for the Yankees last year is now an accomplishment that the tanking Mariners are on pace to duplicate. The evidence of the juiced ball is obvious, not sure why Manfred continues to deny it.

    Word. The Yankees had what can be considered a great regular season last year winning 100 games. That would've been awesome to watch any other year. But I couldn't even enjoy it because we were always looking up at Boston in the standings. I'm sure the average fan probably thought Boston was fun to watch, but it didn't entertain me. It pissed me off. And it made me unappreciative of the Yankees' season. So I imagine that's a similar sentiment for Boston fans this season with the Yankees continually winning. Even though Boston hasn't been great, if the Yankees weren't playing this well and Boston was tied for the division lead would all of you be as critical of the Red Sox as you have been so far?

    12:10 start time, what the hell is up with that
  10. bkzwhitestrican
    Sanchez to the IL with a groin injury. Hopefully it's a short term stint. He had been slumping but looked to be snapping out of it with a couple of rockets yesterday (unfortunately none for hits).
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    Fun stat: the Yankees are undefeated this season when allowing 12 or more runs
  12. bkzwhitestrican
    What a stressful game. I'm going to be tired as s*** at work tomorrow
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    I'd be okay with giving up that kind of package for someone like Luis Castillo. Would need to add even more for Cincy to accept though.
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    Shoulda had more runs yesterday. A triple play and two double plays in critical moments killed a lot of the offensive momentum. 18 runners on base, we were threatening almost every inning. Just couldn't get that big inning.

    Cue Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days"
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    That's fair. A lot of times I feel like I enjoy Red Sox losses more than Yankees wins.
  17. bkzwhitestrican
    The O's stink but I wouldn't be so quick to call them McNeely with John Means starting.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    I think Tanaka has been our ace this season. He's been durable, consistent (aside from the London game), and has pitched brilliantly in our biggest matchups. German has the stuff of an ace but we'll see how his arm holds up in the second half. He's already approaching his most innings in a season so I think his starts may be scaled down a bit, or he even may be sent to the pen and paired with an opener. Like Loaisaga, his biggest knock has always been his durability.

    On a side note your boy JDM is mucking up my fantasy team. To think I could've selected Yellich instead...
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    He must have heard you
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    Maybe if they improve. They're not scaring anyone with their play right now.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    This is obviously just a prelude to Cashman landing Max Scherzer
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    You would think that the Yanks clobber LHPs with so with so many right handed sluggers on the team, but this season their splits are: vs RHP: .272/.347/.481 vs LHP: .242/.317.411 Not sure what the explanation is for this since we're already past the point of it being a SSS. Having Stanton would certainly aid the stat line vs LHP but it's still a pretty dramatic difference.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Damn Cora holding back Cashner in ST, what an idiot!!
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Kinda surprised to hear considering what went down on the market this offseason. Good thing we have like 4 closers on the team.
