The Yankees made Duffy look like Cy Young last time they saw him, time to roll the Royals in the Bronx. Jmo luck to you, hope the offense is out in force for you tonight.

I was curious about Yankee pitchers, especially the starters who are having a tough time getting past the fifth inning and its effect on the rest of the staff. Was surprised that Yankee staff ranks 8th in ERA with an 3.86, yet this stat is misleading. Yankee starter ERAs: Pineda 3.35, Severino 3.64, Sabathia 4.62, Montgomery 4.81, and this is the crusher......Tanaka 6.56. The relief corp is split.... Betances, Clippard, Holder, & Warren are all below 3.00; Cessa, Gallegos, Mitchell & Layne(8.18) are all above 5.00. At this rate the starters need to lengthen their innings per game or the relievers will implode before the summer months. The big scare is Masahiro Tanaka who has tanked in most of his starts. He claims he has no arm problems. He is at a loss with his miserable performances. BTW, if this staff is ranked 8th, what does that say about the rest of the MLB staffs?
While waiting to take the squeeze to the grocery store I decided to see what was happening on MLB Network. They had a piece on the Yankees and the major topic was the declining performance of our boy Mr. Headley and how Mr. GT could play all infield positions and had been recently promoted. Not that any actions they spoke of could happen or are "gospel" but it would seem when a players name is brought up on that format somebody is thinking something. They also mentioned Frazier who is doing well I guess, then discussed Gardner & Ellsbury. Extremely high praise for Judge. Pretty cool stuff. Even Brian Kenney diluted his normal nerd self when discussing the '17 team, ditto Joe Magrane a normal Yankee hater.
...can't stand Brian Keeney, never could...while I understand the value of some of the sabermetric stats, unlike Kenney, I also use my eyes to judge a player.
Quick Pitch excepted I don't watch much MLB Network. The segment I saw while waiting for the Squeeze was Kenney, Magrane, Sherman and a 4th person I didn't recognize. Magrane tries to be a pseudo intellectual like Kenney & Sherman but at least he played. Now add Amsinger is another "journalist" I like to rap in the head with a Police Baton. Never played the game then tries to tell those who did what is up. Pleasac, can't handle him either, "drinking that kool aid" "the moose is on the loose" and "la potencia" Spanish for "The Man" Hate to tell Danny boy that La Potencia means the power. But back to the game go Yankees kick some butt.
Carter with bombs in consecutive games, Castro flies out with bases jammed. damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job Warren you fucking joke, you just single handedly shit all over a fine performance by Jmo! Fuck you!
Warren do not waste JMo's effort! The kid deserves a win here. And you just fucked up the kid's mastery. And that's why the stats are deceiving.......Warren needed one out, so....... he gives up 2 runs and ruins JMo's gem. You POS!
And Holder shits in the 8th inning. Well, Girardi .......you cannot depend on stats with this group of gerbils. Shitting the bed is their norm. Ugh!
Shit ans Shreeve both start with SH. Yankees Pen is in sorry shape, three consecutive relievers fail at their job. Get on it Rothschild.
