NFT: Yankees @ Angels 9:30 start time

glad Joe put Torreyes back in over Headley.

Can he be a Jose Altuve lite?

Sanchez at 3 and McCann at 4. Weird batting order.

going to run. Talk about a terrible deal.

First pitch in 90 seconds

Solo shot!!!!!!

Holy fuck, hahahahaha.

1 on 2 out

This guy looks a Miguel Cabrera/Manny Ramirez-type freak hitter.

Runners 2nd and 3rd

2 outs

McCan at the plate

I never thought he'd be this good to start. Now let's hope he becomes Posada instead of Hensley Meulens or Kevin Maas

getting Trout out in that spot.

.

with a reality check past couple games.

Saying Texas is "more about baseball, Joe Girardi and ny have distractions and a lot going on"

5-0 Yanks.

Nice insurance runs.

.

4 decent pitches with great command!??!?!!

Plus he isn't scared to pitch inside, sorry Trout.


Kid looks nice , swag too

Let someone else start the 7th , he's at about 85 pitches and hasn't been stretched out yet.

Still looks sharp but maybe he's loosing control. Trouts face almost got hit, though he did come right back with nice pitches

Cessa had no business starting that inning if he was going to be pulled that fast...

One of the catches of the year!

Robs a HR!

Gardner saves a two-run dinger.

Saves the inning

HOLY SHIT!

What a play.

Prospect who kept running into fences?

What Happened to him?

Heathcott?

.

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 :)
