    Nice play by Hicks robbing Bradley of a drop-in hit..

    Interesting story on yesterday's opening ceremonial pitch.

    Once again Dombrowski is in the ball park watching his team, plotting future moves, ready to assist. That man fleeced Cashman in Miami, Detroit, and Boston. Steinbrenners wake up!

    Shadows starting to fall across the plate. This is going to get interesting as Shadows approach the mound in the innings to come

    Adams can put up zeros the rest of the way but until the God Damn offense wakes up it's all for naught. Man on, GIDP, Man on, GIDP, cant win like that.

    I do not believe Trashman & the entire Yankees scouting stuff have no clue what outstanding pitching prospects look like.

    92-93 mph FB, with a nice curve hard and slow, will not cut it in the MLB. Eventually 92 to 93 mph simply batting practice. Where's the studs throwing 99 to 100 with hard to sliders and Loopin Curves.

    Adams with only three hits and 3 earned runs. Not bad not bad at all but I am not impressed. A 5.40 ERA, thus far...

    I swear to God Robinson looks like Trashman's bastard son...

    The kid pitched good. The way green has pitched lately I would have left the kid in there

    Coming off surgery last offseason Matt to remove bone chips from elbow and was still recovering early in the season. Has pitched much better of late as he recovers.

    All things considered I though Adams did well, kept his team in the game which is all one could ask for. Certainly the best Yankee Starter this series. But the offense continues to loaf.

    ^^^^ ....
    Thank you Mel I was unaware of the bone chip surgery.
    Yeah the kid should be proud; pat him on the back (seriously Chance deserve such), he's done better than the prior 2 SP's Yet I cannot help but feel- mediocrity is the new Norm or good in all MLB. Hopefully Chance has a chance; no pun intended; and he'll put it together. I just wish He had a 96 to 99 mile per hour heater or cut fastball. Looks like the Yanx should have hung on to Eovaldi...

    I keep expecting to see the next Doc-K, in the Bronx. I know my expectations are too high but I can't help but dream...

    Kimbrel looks like a four-legged deformed Saharan Ostrich trying to take a shit on an Arctic day...

    I think cuzzi has a date with his k calls. Saying Stanton went when his bat barely went forward without checking first was a disgrace and of course our manager forest gump boo e sits in the dugout eating his box of chocolates. I guess he’s afraid to be thrown out. Nice job not sticking up for your players boonie but unfortunately I think your players are used to it.

    Being shut out by Eovaldi has to be burning Trashman’s brain. Dombrowski got him for a low level
    prospect. Trashman gets Lance Lynn from Minnesota for Tyler Austin, a kid with much promise.
    I just think the Yankee GM pays more than fellow GMs around the league. And yes, this may be a
    generality, but it seems Trashman settles for mediocrity.

    Well, it turned out to be a one shot deal in top of 9th inning. Yankees left bases loaded with
    a chance to do some damage, but all for naught. Team loses Game 3 .....4-1.

    Another time, another year result might be different. Sox are coasting on every aspect of the game this year.
    It seems they can do no wrong.
