Second time back after the DL I thought Tanaka pitched a nice game 2 run bomb excepted. Those 5 runners left by the Yankees in the 1st & 3rd may prove huge before this game ends.
Total disgust. How many times this first half of the season have we seen Yankee batters letting an opposing pitcher off the hook? Too many times. And to make matters worse, the team winds up on the losing end. To be 4.5 games behind the Pink Hatters is not sitting well among Yankee fandom.
Yanks are in need of the altar break to recharge their batteries. Unless somehow Degrom becomes available yanks should go with starters they have in seve, cc, tanaka, german and bring sheffield up who's numbers look like he's earned a promotion up here. Package grey with a prospect and get the left-hander hand from san diego and bolster the bullpen. Offense will be better in 2nd half as well get both sanchez and torres back. 3 back in the loss column which is the only column I look at is not insurmountable. I expect boston to come back to earth the 2nd half and we still have 10 games left with them to kick their asses. Keep the faith!!
^^^^^and we all know who is responsible for the construction of the current Yankee roster.........Brian Cashman! Do you know what you are doing?
Game Recap- Green blows this one- 1.2 IP/ 3H/ 3ER/ 1HR. Yanx bullpen combined to fire 14 1/3 scoreless innings over its previous four contests entering Sunday's gm. Yankees ended their first half at 62-33 (.653), the highest winning percentage entering the All-Star break by a team not in first place in the Divisional Era (since 1969). Yet they fell another game behind the BoSox, who posted a 5-2 win over the Blue Jays to secure their 12th victory in 13 games. The Bombers trail Boston by 4 1/2 games in the American League East. Tank retired 9 of the first 10 batters b4 giving up a 2-Run HR to Encarnacion. Yesterday Judge was HBP on the rh elbow/forearm & didn't flinch or grimace. Encarnarcion cried 4 Mama, hbp on wrist.. Trivia: 1958- Boone's Grandpa Ray was traded for Francona's Dad Tito...
