We the dreadful way games have been going, the IL growing with key players, slumps to major starters (Judge, Stanton, Gallo, Voit, Torres) - it was a relief to not see any new players land on the IL today. FYI got my flu shot this morning and did some shopping for an upcoming baby shower put off the trip to the cem maybe tomorrow or Thursday.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Friday Judge was over .300 and now he's lucky to get a hit in a series - Stanton runs hot and cold, nothing to do with whether he's playing the OF or just DHing. I'm sure Marcus & PJ wish they had the answers for the ups and downs.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

and Gleyber had to bouts of COVID - start considering long term COVID which doesn't necessarily mean testing positive just weird symptoms like sluggishness or slow reaction times. As for playing the hot hands - we've never stayed with the backups once 'starters' are ready to return. I still fume over letting Gary Sheffield on the post season roster when he reutrned during the final week of tby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
top 4 batters are 0-10 so far and 3 errors have only extended Taillon's pitch count- so by game's end we will flip flop with the Sux in the WC race and by the end of the series it could be worse - we could be struggling to hold onto a WC spot - I really wish I had the answers but the game isn't played on paper or we would be leading the division - Instead we lead in hitting into DPs- and are figby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
not many players pull a "no-more" Nomar and most pitchers don't asked to be taken out except for injury - but after all the games Stanton missed in recent years - not playing him in the field consecutive days has kept him in the game for the most part this year once he worked up to game strength - not going to argue this just my thoughtby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

KC is pushing Perez this year -there was talk of his playing when we played KC - don't know what the toll will be on his play next season. I expect Gary to play today but will be off tomorrow when Cole is on the mound. I have no problem with the day after a night game especially when we have a descent backup - Higgy needs to stay sharp. Except for COVID Gary has remained healthy this season - catby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I was blessed to witness the great teams of the 50's - '62 and then ones that followed sporadically thereafter. I used to joke with my daughters (Stacey & Laurie) not to worry about my memory or Alzheimer's unless I stopped talking about past Yankee teams. On a side note of levity: no good movies to watch so I turned on SPN game Dodgers v Giants - took one look at the Dodger blue unis (toby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
it's the reason we aren't in 1st place or at least cinched a WC spot - Michael Kay keeps saying 'there's no guarantee" for the Yankee playoff spot - wel I learned that the hard way in 1959 but I can tell ya it still hurts like he!! and more so the older I get wondering whether I'll even see #28.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
