    Beating the Padres should be like taking candy from a baby. There's that should word again.

    They are at .500. The stress test to get over the hump.........easy? or hard?
    A year long task.

    Yanks "need" a sweep vs this Padres team.
    Not going to bet on it especially @ an N.L park without the DH and the way Eovaldi has been pitching - Yanks' offense is weak WITH a DH but it's time to step up.....here and now.

    10 game road trip- Yanks need to go 7-3 but I won't call them all kinds of childish names before jumping off the ledge if they go 6-4.
    But if this team really wants to make some kind of statement and begin to move forward then they must go 7-3 on this trip.

    8-2? 9-1? Lol, not a chance, even if I put on my rose colored pinstriped homerific glasses.

    Bases loaded, Headley helps his former team by grounding out.

    Eovaldi is terrible, and he should be dumped right on Cashman's head.
    His second season as a Yankee and he has made zero progress as a SP.
    Right now it looks like he may have actually gone backwards.

    How long is Joe the Genius going to keep Gregorius buried down in the lineup? Is he really worried about putting too much "pressure" on him?
    He hasn't missed a beat stepping in after a legend in the big city.
    Maybe JTG doesn't want to upset a veteran very mediocre player? lol

    I've got news for Joe The Genius, Didi may ALREADY be a better hitter than Gardner
    Put the kid in the two-whole and let him thrive..or at least allow him the chance.

    Joe the Genius!

    Giving up a bomb to a .133 hitter, Eovaldi you're a piece of freeze dried shit.

    If this keeps up somebody is going to have to make a decision.
    Yanks can't afford to continuously send this guy out there.

    And.....sorry but, Ellsbury & Gardner just ain't getting it done.
    Occasionally they get hot for short periods (just like every player) but they always revert back to extended dry spells where they seem to vanish.

    Yup, that's the problem rooting for a .500 team- too many times they look like sh!t and lose to other sh!t teams.
    Annoying.

    Getting over the hump is just too much to ask from a very mediocre team.
    Trials and tribulations of these New York Yankees. To lose to another mediocre team
    tells us all we need to know. Our Yankees have a long way to go to recapture those
    Championship years!

    Just like most .500 clubs there's just no consistency. That's especially true for the pitchers who tease but then fall back into their mediocre form. Eovaldi just seems like that will be the forever trend.

    ...^^^ should have kept Prado and Phelps.

    ...Among other things, Prado, whose contract expires would have meant no Headley for another 2 1/2 year...Phelps is doing quite well with Miami too. and the Yanx sure could use him now.

    ...Garrett Jones was a bust and Eovaldi isn't looking good either while Domingo German blew out his elbow and is just now returning from TJ surgery. (got bombed in his first start last Sunday for Charleston)

    ... It was a bad trade, period.

    Yep keeping Prado and Phelps would have solved many problems. I think the Yankees gave up on Solarte too soon. Young kid great attitude, came on like gangbusters and cooled of. Happens, should have given the opportunity to make the adjustment. Took out a nice ad thanking the Yankeees and fans for the opportunity. But no the choice was Headley who flubbed the dub in front of his former team by making the final out of the first with the bases jammed. And the "Brass" is wondering why the fans are pissed.
