    We can't say the pitching match favors the Yankees, pray for a starters miracle tonight, hope the Baby Bombers start dropping runs early and often.

    ...you just never know about knuckleballers from game to game...they're either unhittable or very hittable.

    Credit ti Green, he escaped a jam. Time for the offense to drive in rather than strand runners.

    Another led off double and once again he's stranded at 2b....very annoying.
    Gregorius, speedy LH hitter and a good bunter should've tried for a bunt single, not a sacrifice, towards 3b. Almost inexcusable.
    Just lay the bunt down, put pressure on the pitcher and 3bman to the make the play- if they throw him out, we still have a runner on 3rd with one out and they might bring the infield in...which also gives the next batter an advantage.

    Bunting for a hit in that situation when you're up by a run is almost always a "good" move

    2-15 with runners in scoring position. The Yankees should be well ahead in this one. Now they have to try and scratch out a 1-0 win.

    Watching McCann lumbering on the basepaths is nauseating.
    He runs like he's pulling a truck.
    Nice guy...yeah yeah...he's a catcher....yeah yeah.
    He's one of those guys when on 1st base, you often see TWO different instances where he should've scored...and never does.

    Nice guy....,batting .232 with 15 HRS and 45 RBI and he needs the team to get three hits to score him when he's on the bases. lmao

    Frustrating indeed.
    And it always seems to be a low scoring game when they get burned from missed opportunities. Obviously magnified.

    A small village left on the bases tonight. Ellsbury a major culprit.

    Ellsbury has become a serious problem.
    Has evolved into a slightly better(?) than average player....and doing it as the Yankees' CF.

    Could be the worst contract in baseball. Has become the classic I got my money lazy player. Doesn't even steal many bases anymore. I wish the old George was still around to call him out.
