possible none of the pitchers available showed much - stock pile a couple blocking catchers & one being a switch hitter who can also pitch isn't a bad idea. Our scouts usually have an idea on a course of action - I'm sure there will be an interview shortly with Cash to shed light on the scene.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
not the way we wanted to end the game - too many wasted opportunities in game 2 plus the botched fielding play with 3 youngsters and none taking charge. Frazier should have called off both Torres & Andjuar. Not a bad game from Dom - should have beaten Friers. .by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
YES showed that interview during rain delay & I thought it was great - Aaron hasn't given up on getting that game back to an afternoon. I really think SPN & FOX have no consideration for teams/players nothing but their Bleepin' ratings. & I for one hate their coverage of games.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Another rainout in Baltimore - geez 2/4 games another DHer scheduled for August 25th - oh well off to Detroit for the twinbill tomorrow then to Toronto. Severino & Dom will pitch tomorrow's games.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

He suffered a 'minor' back injury - what's this the 3rd injury since going on the DL then being transferred to the 60-day DL. Let's see there's a shoulder, an ankle and something else. Does anyone expect to see him this year??? Adam Warren is starting in Trenton tonight; Jordy is throwing off flat ground; Cessa is throwing off the mound - good news all aroundby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
does the maturity of this 21 year old remind you of someone in the not so far distant past - he has the ability to adjust during an at bat; not to let mistakes fester but rather learns from them to build his experience & confidence. What a great trade to get him. Guess this Baby Bomber is a rookie veteran just love to watch him play to see what he will do next.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
still not sure what Cash & Co. ever saw in Hicks - not going to be surprised if Frazier is used as a chip to get a SP by the deadlineby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Couldn't agree more H-man - Gary is one of the better MLB catchers. Perfect, of course not - but strange no matter what fans might say or think that when the dispute about Sonny Gray was going on, CC, Luis & Chap were the first ones to speak up in Gary's defense. I remember back with Jorge was breaking in as the #1 catcher and we were criticizing the fact that he didn't block the plate costinby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
resiliency is a good thing - to see this group of young men, rookies & veterans, gel into a cohesive unit with one purpose - to win 328 is exciting. Still need reliable starting pitching. Now Houston comes to the Bronx and we have the weak part of the rotation with Domingo & CC to face the likes of Verlander & Keuchelby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm thinking Sonny Gray can't pitch in the Bronx - what concerns me is (a) Tommy Kahnle - was hoping once he returned from the DL he would have his sharp control back; all I saw was his velocity was up. No command; was last year a fluke? (b) taking a page from Coney on DRob - all the pitches he threw late last year has the carry over effect we're seeing and sadly will be dealing with this year -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
We knew Greg Bird would be activated for tonight's game - but I doubt anyone expected Ronald Torreyes to be optioned to S/WB. Toe was a key bench player & IF replacement in 2017 and doing another good job this season. Most guesses have circulated around Tyler Austin & Neil Walker both of whom have shown some solid or clutch hits & fielding.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Socisa is playing this smart - not just extra rest BUT if we meet the Halos in October - we would face Ohtani as a pitcher for the first time which gives him the advantage. We all know our record against first time pitchersby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
with two wild cards not many teams consider themselves out of contention by Memorial Day - doubt anyone is ready to trade fairly and Cash is not going to be taken advantage of and ransack the farm system at this time. Between him & his troops, they're watching waiver wires and conferring with other GMSs. It might be hard as fans to sit & watch - we know that at least one better two qualitby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

chalk it up to just one of those games where the pitchers couldn't throw strikes or get the put out pitch in there. Dellin is solid these days for 3 outs - big mistake bringing him out for the second, worse mistake leaving him in with a runner on base. He just can't hold them & has no pick off move. I would have been ejected with the discrepancy in the swing/check-swing calls. For Texas, I mby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
so what's the big deal??? I really hate how the media blows everything out of proportion. It's not like Aaron was throwing things or getting in the ump's face. Maybe the umpires should stop throwing their weight around - until the umpire threw his arm in the air for the ejection, doubt many were even aware of the situation except we could see some bad calls.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
who's expecting him to return. When he was placed on the 60-day, pretty much meant he was done for the season. and we can recoup part of his undeserved salary at the endby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
let's not get complacent - just enjoy the ride & thrills these kids are giving us. Still 2/3 of the season to go.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
no surprise - he needs playing time. Probably would have happened last week if not for the rain in DC. The next move will be interesting when The BirdMan returns.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
should be more specific when we have Tyler Austin Austin Romine in the lineup it's a good feeling watching this gameby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Ryan Rucco hasn't had too much experience broadcasting Yankee (baseball) games. He started on The Michael Kay Show-sports talk. He does more Nets games but with Ken's retirement after this year expect Ryan to get more air time and experience.

After a baseball-shortened week, Sonny Gray takes the mound in rubber game of the KC series - which one do we see, Sonny the attacker or Sonny the thrower. One gets us a chance to compete while the other better have a short leash especially with his personal catcher in the lineup. Also noteworthy - Didi is once again riding the bench. Ok Aaron is this extra rest or a nagging injury that hasn't beby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Michael only makes certain road trips especially since his marriage & fatherhood. After 25 years of doing the broadcasts, he picks which road trips he wants to make. Just because he isn't doing the road trips doesn't mean he isn't working - those days are when Center Stage is being worked & filmed. Home games off are rare but last weekend he played Dad, taking Charlie to Saturday's game.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
