God has he been awful. Guy throws 100MPH cheese and throws 75% breaking balls, WTF...and not over the plate either. What the hell was Murphy swinging at? Yikes
 
Pineda thrown his last pitch in pinstripes? Sounds like he's out for the rest of the season. He hasn't been pitching great lately, but the Yankees were going to need the first half of the first half Pineda in order to contend. I wonder if this will impact whether the Yankees will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline.

They can't get anyone out when they hand the ball over to their stud in the bullpen so they won't win anything this year but will be a team to contend with from next year on for a while to come. Not a time to "buy" as far as I'm concerned just bring up Chance Adams and let him pitch and learn. Figure it out next year in the market but don't give away the house now, they aren't healthy either let's wait a year.
 
Watching Sat. Saw it was still going on when I got back in and 10th inning. Girardi is awful. How in the 14th do you not bunt, certainly 2 on, no out? If it works, infield has to come in and or SF gets in a run. Of course they don't score, and Chapman walks first batter. Sox haven't bunted either yet. Don't know who will win, but Girardi did not help them.

Sox will win Yankees are awful at situational baseball and Girardi is a part of that. If the Sox dont sweep the Yankees it would be a failure.

Its one thing to have scrubs in your pen every team has one its another to have your studs in the pen be one of those scrubs.

Its about time. This team does fight they really try to get you to get your hopes up and tune into each game, maybe this team needs to keep playing in close games to finally get over the hump.

Yeah. With all the injuries, it's been the bullpen that's blown enough games for them still to be in first. Chapman still looked shaky.

Yup. Those are the times when I know I could be paid millions for doing exactly the same thing.
 
Bye bye Bird. Looks like Bird will most likely be out for the rest of the season due to foot surgery. While they certainly would have improved their playoff chances with the return of a healthy Bird, it's also disappointing that he misses out on another year of developing into a major league player.
 
Big trade, a lot of fans are pissed off the Yankees gave up Rutherford, but they can't keep all of these guys and the Yankees are loaded in outfield with Judge, Frazier, Hicks, Ellsbury(unfortunately), Gardner, and Fowler, still have that 19 year old kid Florial. Love the bolstering of the pen with the return of Drob, and Kahnle, and thank god Clippard is gone. Im not liking Frazier in the deal I'm guessing he plays 3rd (better defense) and move Headley to 1st. I think a lot of this has to do with Chapman not having his electric stuff, he hasn't looked right all year.

I think equally as important is the battering the starting pitching has been taking. With the additional arms in the bullpen, the starters no longer have to be counted on to work late into games. If you can go five innings, you now have multiple flame throwers coming out of the bullpen to preserve any lead.
 
Luis Severino is fun to watch. 7th inning and he just threw three 100 MPH pitches out of four to strike someone out. They were his 90th and after pitches for the night.
 
Tanaka has pitched 8 innings tonight. 1 run, 2 hits and 14 K's. Very fine performance.

Walk off hit for Gardy in the bottom of the 9th. Yanks have won 8 out of the last 10.
 
Please Lord...oh sweet Lord of Lords...allow the Yankees to get Sonny Gray. He is better than most people say he is.

Smoke and mirrors huh? I mean slumps by Judge, Holliday, Sanchez and an injured Castro and finding a way. Would love Gray to fit in the spot which the youngster Smith occupies. Can't give away the big names though.

I tihnk Cash could get him without giving up Torres or Frazier. May need to give up Kapreilian or Adams for sure.

Without Gray I do fear a rotation with 2 rookies (Montgomery and Adams). Yanks need to bolster that 5th spot and a schlub (Smith/Green/Cessa) won't cut it. Adams is ready for a chance.

Frazier is untradeable.

Never mind untradeable john, what about them staying with the idea he's going back down when Hicks comes back? They better not be that stupid, I mean the kid is a tough AB and getting more confidence.

I think they are going to send him down and it drives me nuts but at least we know he'll be back up in September. They don't know what to do with the $150 million pinch runner.

Time to come up with an injury for Mr Ellsbury I think.... not like it's unusual for a guy who sat out for "general fatigue" in the past lol
 
Cashman strikes again gives up Mateo, and Fowler who are blocked. Kaeperlain was tough to give up but it was for a proven pitcher. Yankees are also getting 1.5 mill from the A's in international pool money.
 
I thought Yankees would have had to give up Florial who should be ready by the time Ellsbury contract is up, all things considered its a steal you keep your top prospects in Florial, Torres, Adams, and Sheffield.
