    Well they were lucky enough tonight to pull out the 1-0 win in the series opener.

    Betances.....if I have to make the decision here and now....
    NOPE, I would NOT make him the closer, which leaves the Yanks with a big task in this rebuilding period- finding a closer.
    He just seems to be much more efficient and dominant as a "8th inning guy". Quirky.

    Glad the Yankees won but disappointed in the offense tonight. Green pitched much better than I thought he would in fact akin to an ace against that club. Clippard & Warren have done well. Dellin reminds me of John Wetteland, adventurous 9ths. The kids did well on offense tonight but hope Joe spaces them out a bit more. Totally Pissed with Ellsbury & Headley. Yeha Cashman you got to find a way to get them out of New York.

    Gratifying win. Warren has been great since returning, hitting his spots with both his fastball and breaking ball.
    Invaluable experience for Green, he now KNOWS he can pitch very well vs a good club.
    Good stuff!
    Young hitters have already changed the atmosphere and attitude of the team.

    Judge and Green come through tonight despite the anemic offense. Nice to see the kids do well.

    I can understand not wanting to put too much pressure on the kids but when the vets suck it's worth a try.

    Get Austin back in there tomorrow.
    Judge and Austin will soon need to make the adjustment as they both like pitches out over the plate going to RF.
    Won't be long before they'll be seeing alot more inside fastballs......opposing scouts already have it in their books.

    The more playing time they get will give them more time and opportunity to make their adjustments.....if they can.
