RHP - Masahiro Tanaka (6-2, 3.12 ERA) VS. RHP - Carlos Carrasco (5-2, 2.47 ERA) Lineups to follow............
TODAY'S STARTING LINEUP.......... LF - Gardner (260) CF - Ellsbury (277) DH - Beltran (297) 1B - Teixeira (188) (un-fucking-real, a 188 hitter batting cleanup. ANOTHER brilliant move by clueless Joe) SS - Gregorius (298) 2B - Castro (253) 3B - Headley (256) RF - Refsnyder (280) C - Romine (255) GO YANKEES!!!
Be nice to see Tank throw a good one, get some offense, take a series from a first place team to go into the break. Probably be he closest thing to a World Series this team will see in 2016!
It's impossible to figure this group out. Pouring it on with an 8-1 lead and still threatening in the fifth.
Gregorious just got intentionally drilled (imo). I guess the mighty Indians are being humiliated....they're upset, how dare the Yankees! Lmao, they'll always be the "Cleveland Indians".
Like I mentioned they're hard to figure out. Going to take three of four in Cleveland before the break to get back to .500.
Tank has been extremely lucky today escaping one jam after the other. His game today smells like dead fish.
Didi should've ended the inning but Tanaka clearly flat as a pancake today. Really no excuse after being given a 11-1 lead.
New ballgame, two run HR cuts Yankee lead to 11-7. A hanging meatball from Tanaka. Should've been out of the inning at 11-3, costly two run throwing E by Didi with two out....then the two run jack.
Well nice to enter the break on a high note. Three with Boston and four with Baltimore right out of the break will tell the story.
So the Yankees take 3/4 from the first place Central Team. Hit some pretty good pitching well, too bad they did soo poorly against teams they should have beat. Now comes the 2nd half, and if they Yankees start selling the remainder of the year would be transition & adjustment. The only thing I'd hope for is that they can scramble some eggs for Toronto, Crack Town & of course the Bostons.
...Mess, I know all Yankees fans here, but please tell me that you're not being taken in again by this mirage. ..they were 22-22 on May 24th...and they've played .500 ball since then too.
...Tote, if they'd fire Cashman at the break I would post nothing but positive comments for the rest of this season because at least it would tell me that ownership finally realized what the crux of the problem was, and that there is hope for the near future.
Finally we are home from our trip to Yankees' minor league games. Yankees lose to Twins AAA 3-2. Severino pitched a strong game but tired in the 7th inning when he surrendered Twins' 3 runs. Shame about Judge. He was the talk of many fans at the park. I hope it isn't serious. The injury actually occurred when diving for a ball hit to the OF. Although he was the losing pitcher today, Severino's pitching performance was the best of any of the four games. Yes, there is hope down on the farm. Now, let's hope Mr. Cashman decides not to trade these kids for 'over-the-hill' players....... to substantiate his ridiculous view that this team is playoff bound!
