    The line is on Oakland for this game , why am I not surprised, even on paper Fiers is much better than Happ. Good news for Yankees Fans last night Judge hit a bomb. Bad news was that the rest of the offense pretty much failed in critical situations. Happ is the modern equivalent of Ed Whitson. We need to somehow see the offense came alive in a huge manor for success this evening.

    Just saw an ESPN Article stating that the Yankees have reached a minor league deal with Trevor Rosenthal. Cashman ever desperate rambles on with dumpster diving.

    Y ep, Rosenthal was acquired last night. I thought it might be a real leap of desperation hiring Ken Rosenthal as a last ditch move, for a long reliever when the score is outta sight, and it doesn't matter if you put Superman or a Writer on the Mound....

    One batter less than Half all batters last night, were struck out, 13 of 27.
    Seemed like LeMahieu and Gio were making contact; while Sancheeto swings for the fences almost 99% of the timne, and got lucky.

    Judge needs to take his Big Bomb HR swing and replay it over and over. Hypnotize himself,- "I can hit to Left Field, I do know how to pull a ball now and then. I don't have to take advantage of the short porch always or on the road". I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it people like me". (S. Smalley)

    I'm more thrilled than if I hit a One Arm Bandit Jackpot in Vegas. Well, not quite, I'd take the $$$ anyday.

    All West Coast Games are Televised out West here on the Left Coast.
    I believe I died and went to Yankee Heaven. While I was there I overheard the Yankee Gods planning out the exectuions of Hal, Trashman (the Genius) and BaBoone. I've been sworn to a vow of silence, for overhearing that convo. If I say anymore I will be condemned to Bosox Hell....

    It's hard to believe Scott Boras has Rosenthal for a Client. Trevor's never really been worth a shit from his start in 2012.

    He split a short time b/t Detroit and Wash this year. Accumulating only 15.1 IP over 22 Games he appeared in, say WTF???

    His 13.51 ERA is beyond pathetic. Why Trashman collects junkets of garbage will forever be beyond me, a move of pure desperation. Next move by BT is to punt...

    Rosenthal in 019:
    15.1 IP
    26 Walks issued / Base on Balls per 9 IP, a stellar 15.3 WOWee Wow Wow Wow
    17 Strikeouts
    11 Hits Issued

    and he's making 7 Million $$$ to impersonate a steaming stinking pile of SHIT !!!

    Trashman needs to be tested medically and mentally, I think he's finally lost it for the umpteenth time, beyond recovery....but then this is the Genius GM, I keep hearing.
    Hey, if Christ could turn water into Wine, Trashman can turn water into ?? sewage??? Rosenthal is another Septic Tank.

    Just checked on Voit, now his return is allegedly set for 30 August. Be real glad when Ford is out of this line up.

    When it comes to pitching with the Yankees, the only names that rise to the top of the barrel
    are dumpster dregs. Doesn’t the Yankee fan wonder where is Adonis Rosa? Brady Lail?
    Joe Mantiply? Chance Adams? The Trashman dumpster goes on & on. When you don’t have
    a pitching plan, the fans are watching desperation in action!

    The silence on Stanton is very reminiscent with that of Ellsbury. And Trashman keeps hoarding
    these guys that one day they will produce with the likes of LeMahieu & Urshela. Dream on “genius”.

    Let’s see......Fiers vs Happ. I see the Yankees playing behind the 8-ball. I see that Gardner is not
    in the lineup. He will have a bat in hand ready to bang the roof off of the dugout! Where is Phil Cuzzi?

    When the team I’m rooting for sits in first place with nowhere to go, I try to make light of all
    the underlying details that never seem to go away......and could make this team fall flatter than
    a pancake! Hey. But as long as they are comfortably in first place, let’s dwell on the positives
    of this team.

    Pretty sure no one at all wants Ellsbury Yankees will end up paying up his contract next year and saying goodbye. They may find a taker in Stanton but will probably eating most of his salary. Money will come off of the books when Biggie goes and I'd suspect Gardner will not be re-signed.

    You know its amazing that whoever is picking up these offensive guys that were useless on other teams but look like stars here like didi, void, urshela and tauchman can't get luck once or twice doing the same with a pitcher. Just by accident you would think

    Totally unreal, Detroit beats Verlander and Houston needing on two hits both homers to do so.

    Meanwhile, Happ gives a gopher ball with a man on base, and just like that.......the Yankees
    are down 2 - 1 in bot 2nd.
