Lindor has that nack of hitting five hopper grounders through infield holes. The little prick. But he is a very good young player/SS.
Had to take the squeeze to the store after the Yankees went ahead for the second time. Got home at 8:30 did a score check and was surprised to see a win. Worst that can happen is a split but hopefully if Tank is on his game tomorrow, maybe the Yankees can win a series for a change. McCann put some damn good wood on that RBI for #7.
Surprise, surprise. I see the Yankees won another one in Cleveland. Maybe Indians thought this series was a 'gimme'. Never thought they would win two up there. Down here in Moosic PA, Yankees AAA team beat Rochester in a pitching battle. Luis Cessa, just sent down by the Yankees, pitched a solid 5 innings with good relief from Matt Mongomery & Kirby Yates, also sent down recently. Aaron Judge was given the night off........wouldn't you it, he's in a mini slump. Really wanted to see him play on this trip. Very little hitting in this game. Winning run scored on a throwing error. Yankees 2 Twins 1. Enjoyed the evening. Hey, the Yankees won! Can they get back to .500 tomorrow? Love minor league baseball.
I heard Judge limped off the field is his last game. Enjoy- nice to see up close a couple of players who could be future Yankee "stars".
Would've probably sped things up if Cleve swept the four games leaving the Yanks six games under .500 at the break. Should be fun right after the AS break - 23 of the 26 games vs Bos, Balt, SF, Hous, Mets and Cleve.... ....and the other 3 games @ T.B. which hasn't been kind.
And on this day, The Captain becomes The Husband. Reported that Jeter ties the knot to Hannah Davis and gets another ring! http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/09/derek-jeter-hannah-davis-wedding-married/
