DJ back today.
BTW, the pressure is clearly on Cole after the last two performances by Nestor and Jameson.

Hicks, Gallo, and Higashioka are automatic outs. Weighing this team down.
And this guy Marinaccio needs to go back to the minors.
They could have swept the Rays....it was there for the taking.....a wasted opportunity.
And somebody please tell me why Mendoza-line Hicks isn't bunting with two on and no outs in the late innings of a one-run game. Brilliant.

I don't understand that the game of baseball has become a total analysis game. You can't just use numbers from the past. The use of the analytics is greatly flawed. The calculations are incomplete and for the most part irrelevant. WAR is the biggest joke there is. The game isn't called from the dugout. It is called from a report generated by a bunch of nerds that have zero athletic ability.
Oh, now I know why the player leading baseball
in home runs is batting 2nd and leading off and
having the eighth and ninth batting in front of him. We need to hire Ron Hunt to teach our players how to get on base. Do you remember what he lead baseball in every year?
I got the solution...trade Hicks and Gallo to the Toledo Mud Hens for a broken bat and a warmup jacket.
Just took a quick look at the stats for the Yankee farm teams in Scranton and Bridgewater, and there doesn't appear to be any help for the offense. Hitting near 220 must be endemic.
.220 would be a welcome upgrade from what they're getting from Hicks, Gallo, and Higashioka.
DJ is 33 years old and has hit .260 over the last two seasons.
Maybe he's a .260 hitter at this point in his career.
The starting pitching continues to excel. This has been a long term positive and I've come to think that the next starter will pick up where the last guy left off. Now we just need the offense to be closer to what they were tonight more often (heck, I'll take scoring half of tonight's total on a regular basis).
Great to see Montgomery finally get his first win.
One fifth of the best starting rotation in MLB.

I was done for the night but saw this and had to come back.
Jim Kaat called our pitcher Nester the Molester during the Twins broadcast. WTF? LOL

Twins commentator Jim Kaat gives Yankees hurler Nestor Cortes an offensive nickname
Whether it’s the Sultan of Swat, the Splendid Splinter or The Big Unit, baseball has a storied history of nicknames for its stars. Minnesota Twins color commentator Jim Kaat tried to add a new chapter to that history on Thursday and failed miserably. While describing Yankees pitcher Nestor...

I can't figure what he brings to the team that Florial wouldn't.
Anyone on the Yankees that gives up 5 runs to the Orioles in the last 2 weeks can't be considered an Ace.
Looking good so far tonight. I wish a great season for all 3 in no particular order. So far 15 up and 15 down.
I don't know. Cole only went 6 and 2/3 perfect.
The Yankees have done a great job the last few years of finding those old veterans that they can milk a few months of production out of to fill in voids in the roster. It's pretty remarkable.
And Severino makes four.
BTW, that one "hit" was right at the shortstop...right in his glove. That was an error.
But then you also have Joey Gallo, too many pitchers to list. Sonny Gray leads that group. And Stanton was and still is a stupid trade.
BTW on the flip side we have seen the last Andujar. Request a trade. He can be a good DH for someone

What I am thinking the Yanks sent Andujar down to make sure he gets his playing time.
Might be part of a trade. I doubt any one out
there wants Gallo, Hicks. or Stanton. I feel
the Yanks should just bite the bullet on Hicks and Gallo.
Yankees are stuck with Stanton. He has a no trade clause and the only other team he would agree to is the Dodgers. The Dodgers want nothing to due with him and that contract. Without him the Yankees could have paid him Judge. He will end up with the SF Giants next year as Freddie Freeman ended up with LA Dodgers. It is where they want to be.
I don't blame him. But at this point the Yanks have the upper hand. I think after the all star game there will be big changes. I remember
long time ago it was common to make big changes after the break.
