Contributing to his success (taking the naysayers view away as "it must be roids/PEDs") this season so far may be the year off of wear and tear and hip healing more, along with timely rest with schedule days off and DH role. Plus his natural talent.
Hopefully, he continues as season wears down and into a postseason.
RE: After last nights great game he deserves a day off
Also...Girardi said the Yanks could face two (maybe even three) lefties in Texas so he decided to give ARod today off. Tex gets half a day off and Jones gets some at-bats.
im starting to really think this squad is one starting pitcher away from making a serious run at the WS. Never saw this coming headed into the year. One more top 3 in the rotation pitcher and I am starting to think they can make a run.
Every single game, he's a DH all he does is hit its not like he still plays the field. Rest him a game in Texas when it's going to be 110 degrees
ARod played in 90 of the team's 96 games and he's 40. Plus, he could completely wreck Texas in those hot and humid conditions. And someone brought up ARod's stats in day games after night games, so Girardi made the right choice to rest him today. If the Yanks need him to pinch-hit he'll be available
Either that gun is amped up or Eovaldi is throwing gas
Hopefully, he continues as season wears down and into a postseason.
Very true, and the Yanks are on a long road trip with no off days, so today (day after night game) is a good time to rest him
Relax.
Wow, I'm shocked Zebra is bitching about somebody getting a day off.
Wash, rinse, repeat...

Didi got pitched tough. Headley should have driven Beltran in though.
Web gem by Ellsbury
1-0 Twins
1-0 Twins
It was 2nd and 3rd. They would have had Hicks at the plate by about 30 ft, though.

cost us a run. Would have been a 5-4-3 DP had he come up with it cleanly.

Yeah, that's right...forgot that Dozier took 2nd on that single when Ellsbury threw to 3rd
A case can be made for Didi.
But Headley is absolutely horrid.

Headley's WAR according to baseball reference is 0.1
Didi's is barely higher at 0.6
Headley, is diappointing. His glove has disappeared this year - hurts, except when he does that.
Back to Headley's WAR, it is so bad because he's made 16 errors at 3rd, a career high, and his fielding % is .936 which is awful
You're a sly devil B.
Eovaldi with an excellent pitch count: only 58 pitches through 5
Ok dp, we'll add a subscript to your WAR..
7-1
