only two games with the Marlins. We need to go on a roll & kick butt before the big guns come in with Toronto, Cleveland, Boston, etc Is time to worry about Dellin??? He almost blew that lead last night & like a good manager Boone is defending him.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
was hoping the brawl would ignite a fire under their collective butts to come out swinging - bats not fists last night. Let's see what the Motor City has in store.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
beginning to look like Sonny doesn't have the mettle to pitch for the Yankees - he says he has to attack the batters when he does, his stuff is unhittable we saw that against the O's but last night he was tenuous after getting two strikes & he has no confidence in Sanchez, keeps shaking him off. Appears to be a prima donna and not Yankee material. Might had a better chance starting Dom &by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Aaron Hicks rejoins the team for the finale tonight as the DH. Tyler Austin is on the bench Neil Walker is on 1st; Torreyes is at 3rd. Making room for Hicks, Shane Robinson has been DFA.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Tyler Austin received 5 games - will appeal. Joe Kelly - 6 games (which is BS for a pitcher throwing at a batter) also appealing. Both were fined along with Phil Nevin, Joey Cora, CC, Dustin Pedoria. Xander Bogarts & Martinez (four players who are on the DL getting involved automatic fine) . Nevin was cool last night in his interview just wanted to how much his fine would be & pay it.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I never liked him as a player and now managing the Sux he takes it to a new level. I can see defending his player in the brawl - any good manager & teammate would. But is sign language to Phil Nevins warranted his ejection - if he had the guts to yell it, he would have been. It was an insult and degrading - more reasons to hate the Sux. Other managers I wouldn't like just because they were thby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Got to watch ENCORE this morning - I need to figure out what Kahnle did - thinking the umpires might have screwed up on his ejection. Post Game - Aaron Judge was cool with his part - didn't really answer questions. Stanton could take a lesson on being less committal with answers especially n that situation & get rid of that smug lookby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
In all started when Tyler Austin slid into 2nd feet first - Brock Holt took exception when the spike clipped his ankle/lower leg. In the 7th Joe Kelly missed one attempt to hit Tyler but connected on the second. Ty threw down his bat and went after Kelly - when the smoke cleared. The steam roller effect of Judge & Stanton with CC bringing up the rear had effectively pushed the Sux players wayby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
wasn't a trade but I wish we had signed Toddler to the 2-year deal he wanted. Andjuar is a long way from being a ML hot corner even adequate everyday player.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I suffered through to the bitter end but didn't have the heart for post game. I did my own. We endured 5-5 with mediocre teams including two devastating extra inning losses at home vs. the O's. Thought last night was our best shot against the Sux with Severino on the mound - But he really couldn't do anything from the first inning even though Boone let him struggle through 5 (maybe trying to saveby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
As the bottom of the first gets underway, there was no BP because of weather. We have two "rookie" OFers - Stanton in Left & Robinson in Center - who have no experience with the green monster. Worst - Severino is off to a horrid start - double, walk & rbi single 0 outs.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
The Yankees signed OFer Shane Robinson to a major league contract - & he gets to start in center field at Funkway tonight. To make room on the 40-man roster Jace Peterson has been DFA. Aaron Boone was on Michael Kay - Aaron Hicks is playing tonight in Scranton and could be activated for Thursday's game 3.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Severino vs. Sale has the ear mark for a pitching duel - BUT both must bring their "A" game. No Gardy in tonight's lineup - Sanchez will DH as Boone has tweaked another lineup -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ten games into the 2018 season - so far plenty of disappointments. Only won one series out of three; the big guns struggle in the clutch; pen has sputtered; injuries & illness have taken a toll. Following a devastating weekend AT HOME against Showalter & the O's, we head to BeanTown still unsure who will start the 3rd game. Am I disappointed, upset, frustrated & upset - of course.

time for Stanton to wake up - he was fine in game 1 at Toronto but not much since; 2 games he K's 5 times a first in his career. Is putting too much pressure on himself - we've seen from others. He needs to settle down. I like Montgomery but when he didn't have his stuff early & wasn't finding it, should have been taken out earlier. I'm not the pitching coach but could see Jordy just wasn't oby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Bird was at the Stadium - getting stitches out tomorrow and will take it from there. Looks & feels good.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Didi & Sanchez both getting the day off with tomorrow's off day - but will be available in PHer is needed late in the game. Tyler Wade is available. Hick's is running bases today will go to S/WB tomorrow and could be ready midweek. Ellsbury re-evaluation tomorrow. Frazier is improving but has not been cleared for baseball yet.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Luis Cessa & Domingo German have been recalled from S/W .Jace Peterson signed to contract & placed on 40 man playing LF today. CC has been placed on the 10 day DL with his hip problem. Brandon Drury is on the 10 DL for migraines will undergo testing on Monday .Jonathan Holder optioned to S/WB fingers crossed on Sanchez that it was only cramping .by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
it was scary watching CC, Drury, Wade and then Gary leave the game - but good reports that maybe none will become DL stints. CC is the only possibility with the hip. Brandon was migraine & blurred vision; Tyler has been suffering flu symptoms since Toronto and Gary's legs cramped after 15 innings, 5 hours & 250+ pitches behind the plate. Problem is & for years has been getting a clutcby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
will he make to FA or will Houston lock him to an extension???? If they don't try, you have wonder about his arm. unless it's a low budget team or the Muts, you have to wonderby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
by now most of us have had it with Ellsbury - well this might be a glimmer - Aaron Boone reports he will see a specialist about his hip. Remember he went on the DL for an oblique - no one seems to know how the hip injury occurred.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
My thoughts on the first week - starting pitchers don't get stretched out in ST to reach that 100 pitch count in a game - so they have to do that during the first month of the season which taxes the bull pen especially in the first weeks. How much of that inflation belongs to Dellin Betances who is struggling with self-confidence??? Now last night I watched Tanaka breeze along but saw signs of faby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
