    I enjoyed Ortiz's annoyed look while sitting in the dugout.

    Another 13 spot. Chris Young has been some addition.

    As long as Ortiz gets drilled I'm fine with it.

    Yup, and although hindsight is 20-20, and as it turned out with the Yanks scoring a bunch more runs in bottom 7th - had Wilson stayed in the game and had gotten out of the inning, Betances wouldn't even been "needed" to pitch AT ALL in this game.
    Hindsight has 20-20 vision, but "we" were willing to go with Wilson BEFORE the Yanks blew the game open in the 7th inn. lol

    ...well, obviously you're wrong.

    ...why do you keep complaining about moves that worked out?...oh, never mind, I forgot who I was taking to.

    They needed this with Severino going tomorrow. I hope for the best but you never know with a young kid. Will be fun.

    It's a shame starters cannot go longer.

    Put the Bomb into The Bombers of the Bronx.

    Tough 7th inning for Tex......2 outs & both Ks.

    60-45 and remain three games behind KC for the best record in the AL.

    Fellas, "nobody" is saying this Yankee team is some kind of juggernaut and they haven't won ANYTHING yet, but all things being equal - no injury epidemic, pitching doesn't FALL APART ➡ if any two of Headley, Beltran and Gregorius can stay close to their current course and compliment the rest of the lineup, the Yankees will be very hard to "beat" for the division......A.L. East could still possibly have two or three very good teams when the dust clears.

    Looks like home field could/should be Very important - imo - there are potential A.L. playoff teams who although they rightfully feel they can beat anyone, anywhere, they quietly, secretly have the Yankees @ Yankee Stadium very high on their list of teams they would rather NOT play in the post season. IMHO

    Well looking forward to Severino and then really looking forward to the Toronto series. Good solid pennant race baseball. We've missed this for a few years.

    p.s. regarding my post # 77, Yankees are also currently a "potential" playoff team-
    Nothing more, nothing less.....we have approx two montns left in the reg season, and we know what that means.

    Oh yeah! Good stuff.
    I don't see Toronto OR Baltimore fading (but it sure would help, lol)
    And to be fair to the kid Severino, he's entitled to be a bit nervous and ONE game doesn't make a season however, he could be a difference making godsend and be the ace-type down the stretch.

    Gee, do you think I've just made him feel more confident while also putting a little pressure on his shoulders? Lol

    All kidding aside, so far this is a wonderful, exciting and entertaining time...Yanks trying to increase a first place lead in the first week of August while calling on their top pitching prospect to step in and help carry the load.
