hoping this doesn't mean Didi will be on the DL longer than expected. Gley will be able to go back to 2nd & tighten up the D - and Cutch in right will let Neil go back to being the utility guy we need . Wonder who gets September call ups as the minors wrap upby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Bet I'm the only here who remembers Mel Allen broadcasting Yankee games on the radio - the days before TV broadcasts or maybe just a Saturday game of the week. I hated it when Red Barber did them - then along came Scooter, Lived in Jersey for a bit so was able to watch PIX games and by the time I moved back to the Saratoga area cable was coming in. So that's why I'm spoiled with Yankee broadcastby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
smart move - but also means we are expecting AJ back soon. Also good move because Stanton needs to rest that hammy before it pops and he's lost for the stretch.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

my first trip to the Cathedral was 1959 with my Dad - guess that's why it is so special to me. Took my daughter and then the grandkids to the renovated Stadium during the 90's and again in '03. Didn't go to the Cathedral II until '15 when my daughter gave me tickets for my birthday. So they all have special memories -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
probably because they don't have modern conveniences; indoor cages; small locker rooms & dugouts. However, he didn't include the original Cathedral - but that was before his time, before renovations in the 70's. (written before I read the article )by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

had to use a pillow to stifle my screams - it was so funny that Paul, Michael & Coney were just talking about his jerky dance when AA hit the game tying - first pitch BOOM - bubble gum, Gatorade & water showers for a walkoffby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I would love to see co-ROY - just don't want to see Ohtani win because writers split their votes between Gley & Miggyby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I read that article this morning but just take pride in watching these kids develop - the various stages- coming in blazing, adjusting, then the league catching up with them until the kids get back to their comfort zone. Gley seems to be refocusing after a brief slump. Sanchez & Bird are have bummer years - Gary was getting some power but struggling with his BA. Maybe the stint on the DL andby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
think I heard the Sux have 3 series against division leaders- we need to play A+ games 10 weeks - As for Judge, the Yankees are hopeful he will be back but the longer he goes not being able to swing a bat, the harder it will be to get his timing back. Much longer & there might not be a minor league rehab opportunity. I still remember getting pissed because Torre put Sheffeld back in the lineby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
6 games with us - who knows all we can control is what we doby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Tampa has fought the Yankees tough all year but this time they handled to Sux - while we swept 4 from the O's a good weekend in Yankee Universe. Now the focus turns to the Pale Hose, then the Tiggers before a dreaded left coast trip. One game, one series at a time. If all goes well, next Monday we should be getting both Didi & Gary back in the lineup.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Every time they decide to 'steal' the Yankee broadcast - the games don't start until 8 which means 11 is the earliest it's over. Makes for a long day for players & fans alike. They don't have the greatest announcers and always put some ditzy dame in the middle who contributes BS remarks. Surprised they kept the Yankees/O's tonight unless they figure they jinx the Yankees - The Sux/Rays or eveby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
put it this way IF Sonny could show that much confidence & pound the zone he could be the pitcher we thought we were getting. He can beat anyone with that - he just has to attack the zone & trust his stuff.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
pardon me for holding my breath as game 2 is almost ready. Game 1 was what we expected to do every game vs. the Os- Miggy, Gley, Gardy & Hicks all went yard - Happ settled down and gave 6 quality backed by 3 shoutout from Cessa. Still not sure why Gray is starting game 2 BUT if he screws up don't expect him to start another game this season. - 1st pitch minutes away - ENJOY THE GAME-by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sanchez is huge for the O - he is still learning the tools of catching. It's been pointed by several of our sportscasters that Gary is large for a catcher. He has more body to get down low & block those pitches - it's easy to sit back and say just because he made to the ML he should be perfect & ready to get every ball thrown his way. Remember this is only his second full season and the lby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
It came as no surprise that Aroldis Chapman has been added to the DL list with the knee tendinitis that has been giving him pain since May. Chance Adams was recalled from S/WB - he is stretched out as a starter so not sure how he will be used with the 4 games in Baltimore. Also to be noted Justus Sheffield was assigned to the bull pen in AAA with the idea of using him there in September, if not sby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
almost forgot we go to London with the Sux next year - we open at home in March?????? watch for a blizzard that week and wrap it up in Texas - would rather play Texas late September than July or August - but let's get through 2018 before we worry about these thingsby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Waiting for either Michael Kay or pregame reports on DRob & Chap. DRob expects to be ready either tonight or by Friday latest. Experiencing soreness from a long season - figures by resting these few days he will be 100%. Chapman could be the concern -we've discussed it before- the knee tendonitis has been an ongoing thing but the pain last night was worse. See what the MRI or CT show.

Yankees win - Sux lose on a day that the Yankees placed their AS SS on the DL, but the Marlins were given 2 chances in xtra innings with bases loaded & no outs. Chad Green & AJ Cole were both able to escape. In the 12th Kyle Higowsaka led off with a single; Gardner walked following a Stanton K - Hicks was hbp to load the bases setting the table of Miguel Andujar to hit a gw sac fly driviby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
the right move so Didi can stay off the foot as much as possible allow the heel to heal. Not thrilled with Luke Voigt but don't expect him to play much unless there are more injuries. Hope that Stanton's hammy is ok and doesn't blow playing RF in Mimi.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
so awesome I watched it on ENCORE last night & getting ready for a 3rd time this morning. The Yankees don't forget their family members. I reflect back on the last OTD Mel Stottlemyer was able to attend. His health was beginning to fail and the Yankees put together a special Mel Day incorporated into the ceremonies. There are just so memories connected with 67 years with these guys.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Maybe because I have been a Yankee since 1951 - 1998 seems not so long ago - and then you remember that it's been 2 decades since this historical team made its mark. Five games into the season we were just hoping to turn things around and win some games - 1-4 not an auspicious start. A team meeting - veterans made some statements and the rallying cry went. They played the remainder of the seasonby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Think back to the expectations of April & May - our pitching rotation Severino who dominated until that AS break seems to have screwed up his momentum & he's still trying to get the mechanics aligned (Larry Rothhild doesn't seem to be helping much); Tanaka who has not been consistent yet not horrible; CC & we knew from the beginning he would need to be careful & watch his innings,by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
bases loaded in the 9th no outs and they still can't score a Bleeping run - that's all I will say.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
First of all we aren't even assured of the WC UNLESS this team gets its mojo back and starts playing winning baseball. Houston/Oakland/Seattle are all in position to take the West & the 2nd WC. The Yankees don't play well on the Left Coast & facing Verlander is no picnic - so any way you slice it the WC on enemy turf is going to be a battle. At this point we don't have two aces ready forby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
