RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 9:43 pm : link
with a lower body injury. Flores up. Can Capuano take down the most underrated superstar in baseball?
Terrible pitching matchup  
Marty866b : 5/29/2015 9:50 pm : link
Yanks will be fortunate to win tonight.A minor league pitcher against their ace.
don't like Young batting against RHPs  
Del Shofner : 5/29/2015 10:02 pm : link
either.
Lol Gardner  
BigBlueShock : 5/29/2015 10:15 pm : link
Draws a lead off walk, Gray pays zero attention to him, and he's content just standing on first until somebody hits a ground ball double play.

I love Gardy, but his base stealing jitters are maddening

Gardy's unwillingness to run is maddening. I have no idea why he doesn't use those wheels.
Capuano gets lucky  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 10:38 pm : link
leaves bases loaded in the second. Whew.
Capuano reminds me alot of Cano  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 10:49 pm : link
that is Robinson's Cano's father who throws one heckuva batting practice.
4-0  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 10:55 pm : link
no outs in the 3rd. Lawrie just missed a 2 run HR by a few feet.

Get him off our team. He isn't capable of missing bats.
Does Gardner have a green light  
RetroJint : 5/29/2015 10:56 pm : link
To go whenever he wants? And normally you want to stay still for A-Rod unless there are 2 outs. Capuano:no offense but what is this guy doing on the Yankees?
Mystery solved...  
Dunedin81 : 5/29/2015 10:56 pm : link
Adam Warren will stay in the rotation.
The girls  
batman11 : 5/29/2015 10:56 pm : link
in the NCAA softball tournament throw harder than Capuano.
Nova please speed up that rehab  
Stu11 : 5/29/2015 10:58 pm : link
If I have to watch Capuano pitch one more time baseball might be ruined for me forever...
Five million dollars for what he's giving them  
illmatic : 5/29/2015 11:07 pm : link
this season. Unbelievable. Just unreal. They couldn't possibly find a better way to spend 10 million dollars than splitting it between him and Drew.

Donating the money to charity would have been better. Seriously. Then at least we might have Refsnyder up here.

Agreed would would of been better just flushing the money down the toilet
Gotta love Oakland fans  
BrianLeonard23 : 5/29/2015 11:11 pm : link
Chanting "steroids" for Arod when the whole rage pretty much started in their very own clubhouse in that dump of a stadium they're sitting in
flush him down the toilet  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 11:12 pm : link
keep the money.

Tanaka, Pineda, Sabathia, Warrena, Nova

somehow I don't think we are going to get that rotation but I sure hope for it.
Fangraphs with scouting blurbs...  
Dunedin81 : 5/29/2015 11:15 pm : link
on Wade and Avelino (linked). Also per RAB Bird is taking batting practice again.
Link - ( New Window )
McCann goes deep  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 11:22 pm : link
4-1

rbi streak (7), hitting streak and homer streak (4) continued.

No more annoying Sterling celebration than for McCann HRs.
DSL rosters are out  
Dunedin81 : 5/29/2015 11:37 pm : link
Notable 7/2 guys are Wilkerman Garcia, Diego Castillo and Nelson Gomez, Miguel Flames, Jonathan Amanduray, Antonio Arias, Juan De Leon and Brian Emery,

By process of elimination that would leave Dermis Garcia and Park and perhaps Servando Hernandez as the players likely to debut in the US. Presumably one or two of the DSL group could make the jump mid-season, but it's interesting that they seem inclined to leave most of their big-ticket signings in the DSL for now.
funny to look at the Staten Island Yankees' roster ....  
Del Shofner : 5/29/2015 11:46 pm : link
there are 8 guys on it. I guess that changes fast after the draft. Speaking of which, SI has us taking RHP Funkhouser @ # 16. Great name.

Have to agree with that. Unfortunately.

Though it hardly matters, great names are easy to get behind. Funkhouser would be epic.
this is the worst group of "good" fielders  
RasputinPrime : 5/29/2015 11:54 pm : link
i've ever seen.

Headley has been great in flashes but overall really bad. Gregorius is dead to me. I don't see anything there that we can't find on a beach in Veradero.
welcome to the show rook

Lindgren gets lit up by Lawrie who suddenly likes playing baseball.

6-2
Young is useless in CF  
RasputinPrime : 5/30/2015 12:36 am : link
man we are getting lit by injuries.
Drew with range  
RasputinPrime : 5/30/2015 12:41 am : link
but can't throw. Just putrid execution with no one able to just get it done.

the Slade injury definitely hurts. Young should be in RF against LHPs and that's about it.

Gardner  
mitch300 : 5/30/2015 12:52 am : link
To move to CF against righties and Flores to play LF.
Drew on with tying run on deck  
RasputinPrime : 5/30/2015 12:56 am : link
the excitement!
looks like it's over.  
Del Shofner : 5/30/2015 1:01 am : link
Thanks for seeing it through. I did that last night, and was not going to do it again tonight! So who's on for tomorrow?
every game  
RasputinPrime : 5/30/2015 2:56 am : link
no matter what. Makes victory sweet. Just like that first time my wife has an orgasm.
It's amazing  
nygnyy274 : 5/30/2015 7:35 am : link
That Pirela continues to ride the bench and Drew plays every single game. Pirela has not played since Sunday what is this reason for this?? Play this kid for a week what do you have to lose
Keep losing!
