NFT: Yankees @ Angels 9:30 start time

7 shutout innings, 3 hits, 8Ks, 1 walk. He's 3-1 with a 0.71 ERA since being promoted to AAA. Overall this season, he is 12-5 with a 2.19. It would be nice for the Yanks to add a young lefty to the rotation in 2017. Not sure if the Yanks promote him this season, but Green, Cessa, Severino, Mitchell and Montgomery could give them young options in the rotation next season. Also, RHP Chance Adams is 13-1 this season and should be in Scranton to start 2017. The Yanks need to produce some young guns to go along with the Baby Bombers and this rebuild will move right along.

Woohoo.

Yes. Thanks

Shutout would have been nice. At least Betances got that HR out in a non critical situation.

to have Cessa throw inside and "make them uncomfortable."

I like this guy ...

He calls a great game. Frames pitches perfectly and consistently. And throws out guys like no one's business. Add his shades-of-Cabrera bat and we're talking #1 catcher in the league in the future. Unreal talent exhibited so far. Hope he can maintain. I love his presence. Vet-like.

with his calming down at the plate and forcing them to throw strikes. McCann gets an assist for the 2 run single after that steal forcing the full count fastball that he served for a hit. But, his next at bat he finally calmed enough to let himself get a walk. I swear they've pitched around him the entire series but his patience was so low he got himself out. He could get 2 BB tomorrow easy.

as terrific a hitter as he looks, this might mean that he will not be a catcher for long. I know I am getting ahead of the issue but is that a real possibility a la Joe Mauer?

lol - it looks like the guy is just having fun playing baseball as a DH.

HOF today. Got me thinking, and looking. He hit 35 homers in 2000. 28 in 2001 and then 29 the next two years; one of those years being the Angels only World Series team.

Bonds got all the shit in 2002 but, the Angels should be the poster boys for a nearly all roid team that won a championship.

Pretty obvious the plan to pitch to Judge is low and away. I've noticed that is where he appears vulnerable. Last few games the pitchers have been getting FBs low and outside for called strikes, then follow up with sliders same place forcing him to defend and going outside the zone.
He has to go ARod and drive those to right center like ARod used to.

Meanwhile Sanchez does not seem to have a cold spot(s).

irrespective of results. Hard to argue with the development folks at the moment ... Sanchez, Judge, Green, Cessa all looking good.
Severino - ( New Window )

Garret Anderson never struck me as a PED guy. He tore us up though

Kid just needs to relax, because he can hit.

if we could break through against this slop thrower.

but it is unbelievable how bad Ellsbury and that contract are. And how predictable it was at the time. He looks completely overmatched.

Headley too. Frustrating when the guy they traded to get him (Solarte) is outproducing him for a fraction of the cost.

Fun watching the kids, but still a lot of dead weight that needs to go.

When he weakly popped out to 2nd. He's horrid.

Hahaha.

Agree tho.

It would be nice to buy him out as well as Headly and start Torreyes and Gardener.


Amazing catch tho wow

doesn't change anything though :)

Els has a full NTC... Not sure Hal is ready to write him the 90 million dollar check and say good bye just yet.

Bad contract.

a shitty collection of ABs with runners on base.

It'd be nice to pick up another game.

Wilson for Cessa and Green is turning out to be a very good trade by Cash.

But I really want a win today!!!

Re: Ellsbury, I know that contract is and always was an albatross, maybe the worst contract in modern Yankees history easily.


Maybe Sanchez can hit a dinger

And Cessa looked fantastic last night. Looked like a solid number 2-3 pitcher potentially.

Judge needs his rest, though..

ask for much more that 1 run on 5 hits..

final game.

(Not really.)

.

How bout a double in the gap?

Very encouraging for the Yanks. We might actually have good young offensive players and good young pitchers. Awesome.

What a frustrating game.

just one shitty pitch (and pitcher) after another but we can't do a thing

Didi's was especially awful.

.

.

and then doesn't come out of the lineup. With Hicks actually hitting a bit lately, Ellsbury shouldn't be an every day player.

With that upper cut swing all he could do was beat it into the ground.

Wow Teix is up 2nd in the 9th. My how times have changed. Couple years back I'd have been happy. Now, just an out.

grounders by Pujols and Cron were all the Yanks needed last at bat.

Three really shitty little grounders with two outs.

No they have not been to 5 games over .500 this year.

.

Forever really.

Missed that by a foot. Lame effort.

Crazy as it is, a playoff spot is there to be had but games like this one or the rain game against Toronto really hurt those efforts.

why Binders feels the need to tinker with the line up.

They have been scoring runs, don't change things up until they cool off...

LOL... not only Judge but Torreyes has been swinging a hot bat. Headley was terrible today.

Both Judge and Austin are out of the lineup at the same time.

so clearly there was a need to tinker around with the lineup...right?

Tex swings at ball four with the bases loaded. I expect that from a rookie. If he is going to act like a rookie, Austin should be in there. You want to claim Austin defense isn't the greatest. Fine, put Tex in the later innings for defense.
