Clear weather and looking for a dominant win. Hicks,Stanton and Anduar are in the final stages of rehab.....Nice.
King Felix may not be as good as he once was, but if he is good as he was once could be a tough assignment. Mariners are 6-12 since starting 13-2 but there is a lot of Home Run Power on that team. Felix & Biggie, old school pitchers going head to head, classic.
King Felix has lost 10 of his last 11 decisions dating back to 2018. Tho he's 6-1 with a 1.44 ERA in Yankee Stadium. Not this time Prince Felix...
LeMahieu -2B Voit -1B Sanchez -C Andujar -DH Frazier -RF Gardner -CF Urshela -3B Estrada -SS Tauchman -LF
Frazier can hit we know that, his defense in right is pretty damn good as well. Like an Urshela/ Andujar 3rd Base/DH probable platoon. Seems like every time one reads a sports article the status on Judge & Severino changes.
C: Josh Breaux, Charleston RiverDogs (Class A) (Yankees No. 15 prospect) 4 G, .500/.556/1.313, 5 R, 1 2B, 4 HR, 10 RBI, 1 BB, 2 SO The Yankees’ second-round pick from the 2018 Draft is certainly making himself comfortable during his full-season debut in the South Atlantic League. He now has an eight-game hitting streak going after hitting in all four games he played in this past week, starting things off with a two-homer performance on Tuesday, then homering again on Friday and Saturday. He’s now fourth in the SAL with 24 RBIs, tied for fifth with six homers and ninth in slugging (.560). His 24/7 K/BB is a bit of an eyesore tho'
Finally, Gardner is batting other than leadoff. He looks tough and ready for action but often fails offensively.
-Sancheeto's 11 HR's with 20 Hits may be impressive; BUT- He's got 22 Strikeouts in 83 Plate Appearances. His 5 Errors and 4 passed balls in 16 game starts as a Catcher is worse than ever b4, even tho' it's a small sample size. Sancheeto ranks as the worst defensive catcher so far this year, as noted in Baseball Reference.com; and 18th all time. 18th all time and he's barely begun his career... Personally; I'd take his glove away; shove his own arm up his ass; and give him a bat only. If he fails with the bat; then shove that up his ass too....sorry folks; and Sanchez apologists; I'm only calling it like it is; even tho' I wish he'd succeed in a big way.... His .967 Fielding Pctg% is at an all time low; lower than his .987 Fld-Pctg of 2017 His Fldg Pctg is .021% lower than Ed Taubenese; who is considered the worst fielding Catcher in MLB History. Sanchez wears a glove for only one reason. It was a league custom. The glove would last him a minimum of six years because it rarely makes contact with the ball.
See your 5, raise you 10. I like Romine much better in the game. Higgiy may lack with the stick but he calls a better game.
