    Sale does not have it like last year. Happ should be in control (we hope).

    Give the ‘Third Stringers’ credit for their winning ways. Pitching still rules the roost.
    Now let’s ‘roast’ the Beantowners, Yankee style!

    Saw a comment posted by Matts last night on the return of Gregorius. Let me add to the blasphemy, you've got a team that is winning but need pitching. The Yankee infield in my view is solid with enough pieces to give people "rest". I'd seriously consider trading Gregorious and Bird. Is anyone anxious to see Stanton & Tulo return to take jobs, no thank you. Judge is always welcome and his return will see him (Judge), Frazier, and Hicks starting, Gardner in reserve. Morales or Maybin will be gone. Severino & Jmo will be welcome additions but again Cashman needs to assess the surplus and trade for pitching. Long time Yankee fans will remember a time when the Yankees with obvious exception got them young and shipped them out in their late 20's or early 30's resulting in a constant winning formula. Many potential tough decisions coming up. I vote for fielding the best team possible.

    dont think you will get fair value for a returning Didi...nor will anyone give up starting pitching for a Tulo or a Gio. You are definately not getting a starting pitcher for bird.

    Getting fair value is implied for certain. The bus is getting crowded and some folks may have to get gone. I'm simply hoping for the best possible moves that will benefit the team.

    ^^^^^and do you know what is saddest of all about the Yankees’ situation is that the only way
    to get any starting pitching is through trades. Cashman cannot honestly call up
    a reliable starting pitcher from his farm system. There is not one to be put into an
    emergency situation......and believe me the Yankee pitching is in an emergency state!

    So, as long as this team wins, I do not think Cashman thinks the starting pitching is an
    emergency. I’m just not sure what chattel he will offer for a ‘starting pitcher’.

    they have had injuries at the minor league level, montgomery and this one kid who was mowing down 3 different stops, Mike King...plus Chance Adams was on the way until he got injured.

    I will say this ...how many teams in the majors have all these home grown pitchers on their current staff? They dont grow on trees.

    ^^^^^so, if they don’t grow on trees, why is it that Cashman goes fishing every off season seeking
    another team’s starter?

    name a team that has tons of homegrown pitchers on their staff...you make it sound that the yankees are the only team that seeks out pitching.

    Since their last meeting in mid-April, the Yankees have gone 30-10 – despite injuries to several key players – while the Red Sox have gone 23-16, improving after a dreadful start.

    But lately, the Sox have lost eight of their last 15 and the Yankees have won eight straight series (12 of their last 13) to open a one-game AL East lead on Tampa Bay and a 7.5-game lead on Boston.

    Last meeting
    On April 16-17, the Yankees swept a brief two-game series at the Stadium, outscoring Boston 13-3, including an 8-0 win.

    That came at the expense of Chris Sale, who dropped to 0-4 on the season after his five innings (four runs).

    Last meeting
    On April 16-17, the Yankees swept a brief two-game series at the Stadium, outscoring Boston 13-3, including an 8-0 win.

    That came at the expense of Chris Sale, who dropped to 0-4 on the season after his five innings (four runs).

    Not here
    Aaron Judge was in the Yankees’ lineup for that last Boston series, going 2-for-8 with no RBI. Four days later, he landed on the injured list with an oblique strain.

    Judge has just begun swinging a bat, but is still about a month away from returning.

    Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia came out of the second game of that series with knee discomfort, and he recently admitted that his future playing career is in doubt.

    Nathan Eovaldi pitched effectively in the second game (six innings, no earned runs) and took a no-decision. Sidelined with elbow issues shortly thereafter, Eovaldi is due to begin throwing to live hitters this weekend.

    Pitching
    J.A. Happ is scheduled to oppose Sale in the opener.

    The Red Sox have Eduardo Rodriguez, Rick Porcello and David Price lineup after that, while the Yankees plan to bullpen one game this weekend and start Domingo German (either Friday or Saturday) before giving the ball to CC Sabathia on Sunday night.

    Sabathia hasn't pitched since May 22 at Baltimore, due to right knee inflammation (he's since had injections of cortisone and lubricant).

    Stats
    Rafael Devers is fourth in the AL in batting, with a .325 average (the Yanks’ D.J. LeMahieu is seventh at .313).

    Gary Sanchez’s 17 home runs – in just 37 games - is tied for the AL lead in that department (teammates Gleyber Torres and Luke Voit each have 14).

    The Yankees’ team ERA of 3.72 is fourth in the AL, with Boston sitting eighth at 4.43.

    No. They are the only team I root for. Over the last 17 years who have the Yankees developed to excel
    as a starter in the Yankee system? Andy Pettitte, for sure, since 1994 was one of the greatest pitchers in
    Yankee history. Home grown starters who followed were: Phil Hughes, Ramiro Mendoza, Randy Keisler,
    Brad Halsey, Chien-Ming Wang, Jeff Karstens, Tyler Clippard, Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy,
    Ivan Nova, David Phelps. Not one has been a great contributor to the Yankees’ success.
    And that makes the Yankees ability to win that much more remarkable!

    With regards to the way Yankee management has cultivated their young pitchers, leaves much to be
    desired.....at least to this Yankee fan.
