Intriguing

kash94 : 8/4/2015 4:56 pm : link

series with two top prospects making their debuts. Yankees really need this win tonight with a rookie and CC as their remaining two pitchers. With Toronto and Baltimore pretty hot, Yankees need to continue to put their foot on the pedal

FWIW Bleacher Report's post-deadline farm rankings...

have us at 11.

Owens is a pretty good prospect

BeerFridge : 8/4/2015 5:00 pm : link

Command and control issues though. Lets hope he can't find the strike zone.

also 2 days in and Ackley already on the DL

terz22 : 8/4/2015 5:01 pm : link

Owens ML debut, looking forward to this one

WeatherMan : 8/4/2015 5:09 pm : link

solid fastball, great change, was working on the curve and has added a slider to work in as well. Walks were up earlier this year while really keying in on the curve, has definitely gotten into form of late and earned this shot at the majors. Tall lefty, young, 2/3 starter potential... great stage to start on, get em kid.

One of the unanticipated joys of this season

Rob in CT/NYC : 8/4/2015 5:23 pm : link

aside from the Yanks surprising play has been the dumpster fire that is the Boston Red Sox....no fan base deserves it more.

Ugh... can't watch any of these SNY shows.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/4/2015 5:39 pm : link

According to them, the Mets are the greatest team of all-time right now and the Yankees are a mess.

Me too. It amazing how after talking about the Yankees they mention that they play in a week division. However, they never mention how shitty the N.L. east is. Also that reporter Andy Martino. The Yanks must have kcicked him out of the locker room or something in the past. The next time he says something good about the Yankees will be the first.

Tanaka had a nice first inning

illmatic : 8/4/2015 7:17 pm : link

Hope he keeps it up. And Ellsbury bails out the kid and strikes out swinging at ball 3. Supposedly he has command issues so they can't be helping him out like that.

who cares about the Mets?

Let's just keep killing it, always feels good to beat Boston.

WTF was Young doing?

Routine fly ball

turned into a double. Ugh. That's going to suck if it turns into a run for them.

How is it the CF's ball when it dropped 3 feet from Young?

shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/4/2015 7:37 pm : link

Ellsbury was never in the vicinity of it.

A big AMEN to that.

But the punks on that team deserve it, too. The fat DH being chief among them.

Not gonna lie

illmatic : 8/4/2015 7:48 pm : link

I'm liking Ryan's stache. With a little more work, it'll be nearing Rollie Fingers levels.

Old time baseball rule - anything the CF can reach is his. But in this case Young should have had it until he was called off and he was looking to not catch it. Very weird for two major leaguers to blow a simple fly ball.

Tracy Morgan is in the front row. Glad to see he's "out and about"

I know it's AAA

dpinzow : 8/4/2015 8:03 pm : link

but Severino's got offspeed stuff that moves hard and late. No wonder he's got a sub-2 ERA down there

Tanaka looks sharp tonight

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 8/4/2015 8:03 pm : link

a hot finish to the season from him would make me feel so much better about our chances.

One of my favorite parts about Severino is how people rave about his "easy, loose" arm-action. For whatever reason I haven't heard many of the Yankees' stud pitching prospects be complimented for this. Can't wait to see him pitch.

I think Young and Ellsbury might

Frustrating inning

dpinzow : 8/4/2015 8:31 pm : link

and frustrating game so far because the Yanks should have more than 1 run

I think he might have been shaken up

He missed a hook in his first at bat that was a bit of a hanger.

Ellsbury swinging at everything

He has been ass tonight.

Ellsbury strike out for the second time on a pitch a foot off the

WTF was that Ellsbury?

That never had any plate or even gave the appearance of a strike.

At least he made an at bat out of that one. Probably kept him from coming out for the 7th even if the 6th is uneventful.

The Yanks' tradition of mashing in the first and shitting the bed thereafter continues. Owens looks good but they've been taking some bad swings at shitty pitches.

WHAT THE FUCKIN FUCK?

Snags the liner from Hanley and throws back to 1st to double off Ortiz

Tanaka's defensive play...

Dunedin81 : 8/4/2015 8:49 pm : link

means that he should give us some length this game, which will be nice with Severino coming up tomorrow.

I thought A-Rod wasn't going to get to second
