Shaky start but Tanaka has kept this team in a game that they seem to be reluctant to enter. Yankees can have all of the Garcias and Grays or whom ever but if the offense doesn't hit its all for naught!
name of the game, risp/lob, too many....anemic offense. If this team s/b so lucky as to see playoffs, ("playoffs, whose talking playoffs"- Jim Mora), they would never make it past the first round; or lose it all in a one game WC playoff???? Tho' truth be known, none of us expected our Yanx to be this close, this late in a pennant race.....
but - boy do the Boyz look pathetic, dog daze of summer (heat n humidity) taking its toll.... speak too soon, Gardy channel your Chi, your "force be with you" hr mind, and follow with Judge, give us something to rise for other than your mere honorable presence.....~
hard to believe this is the same Miggy who just a few yrs ago, won 2 MVP's and the Triple Crown. Miggy's hitting .257, and hasn't hit below .313 since 08, hell Miggy has only hit below .313 only 3 times in his career, first two yrs & 08. The man is a standing HOF'r, imo...
ntm- a batting title only 2 yrs ago, and 4 out of 5 batting titles from 011-015. let me add to previous comment; Miggy's got to get at least 490 Hr's, play a few more years, decently, to become a standing HOF'r....
Seen game delayed checked NYC Weather heavy T-storms this evening. Yankee may lose this one to Mother Nature. Down here in St Pete we've had monsoon rains because of a Tropical Depression coming through yesterday.
What did the Yankees see in Todd Frazier? Oh wait, he'll come through in the playoffs..........meanwhile, he is hitting in a Carteresque manner.
Always liked Frazier as a ball player, until he came to the Yankees. Thought he'd be an upgrade over Headley, turn out its six or one half of the other. Watching Robertson last night I was not too fond of him coming here either. But the Yankees did manage to pawn Clippard off to the Chisox so I guess there is a bit of nasty eveness there.
Coat Tail Riders and those who live vicariously rate pretty low on my totem pole and Bill Ripken is a classic example of those who fit that mold.
Oddly enough this area of the Mojave has been having monsoonal rains, & flash flooding; usually meant (by mother nature) to dump over Arizona. Every hot ass summer, once it hits triple digits, the mositure accumulates over this area, and the winds blow those cumulus clouds into AZ, where they're met with The Sea of Cortez moisture, and baboom, the otherwise dry 11 mos a year Salt River, becomes a raging white water monsoonal phenom.... 108 degrees w/ 69% humidity, give me a block of iceeeeeeeeeee.....
Not only that mess but he needs to get judge out of the 3 hole and down to 6 till he comes out of his funk. I'd hit di di 3rd right now. When hicks comes off dl I can see holliday going back on dl with something and just rotating the outfielders thru the dh. Also need castro's bat back badly in this lineup.
i don't know, did not see game... but in reading whats on here, i have to ask , if girardi has been moving and shaking the line up all year, how is it that he keeps a struggling hitter in the top spot? also i see from posts on here that ellsbury is not your fav player, but i be dammed if i was making that money and playing second fiddle to an inferior player.... sobeit!
