and your 1b makes a little league error, but that's baseball Suzyn. Let's move on.

Too bad about CC, next man up. Chapman comes back this weekend, pen becomes deeper, everyone moves down an inning.

I'm interested to see who comes up if CC goes on the DL

Should be back on Sunday at least that is the plan. Moves Betances back to set up and less high stress appearances for Clipard.

We will see if he can handle it.

I thought he played OF for the Phillies. Weird.

Frawley, 21, was Pittsburgh’s 17th round pick last year. So far this season he has a 1.62 ERA (2.80 FIP) with 25.8% strikeouts and 3.2% walks in 33.1 innings, all out of the bullpen, in Low Class-A. He’s a low-90s fastball guy with an okay curveball.

whether he starts or not remains to be seen, could be on for insurance.


Would think he'll act as a long man/extra bullpen arm for the next few days. If he was going to start in CC's place there would be no reason to cal him up now. They are almost certainly just using CC's DL trip as a way to squeeze an extra receiver for 3-4 days.

Which, by the way, means the Yankees now have a 9 man bullpen. LOL, crazy.

after the last two game and a burned out pen.

These kids are the real deal

I'm at the game now

$11 front row can't beat this

Ripped a triple, his arm, his swag.

He has a little length too.

Also, Greg Bird looks AWFUL wtf happend to him??? He looks like shit.

Austin looking nice and Willams plays a great Cf

Hitting .233

Everyone here can't believe he hasn't been called up.

People feeling for him.

and how do you know how long he is?

lol.

My take is that Gleyber and Adams aren't coming up before the trade deadline of July 31. Yanks seem set on them both getting further development time in AAA.

Bird - has to prove himself again in AAA, which he's not doing. Austin - I'll go with those who say Cash is not yet willing to concede that signing Carter was a mistake.

I have no problem with any of that except Austin v. Carter.

Re Bird - he is walking alot and not striking out. Any idea how he has looked at the plate? I saw only one game and he looked pretty comfortable.

Is turning into Stephen Drew part II.

I already left early but he just looked fidgety for a AAA at bat imo, plus his swing looked long but this was the first time I've seen him in person.

He did still show a good eye tho.

Austin needs to be at the mlb level tho he stood out most besides Torres. Austin just oozed confidence and swag

Fun fact: Yankees pitchers lead the AL with a 3.52 team ERA and the offense leads MLB with 104 home runs.

He just put in his starting pitcher for tomorrow's game, Gsellman, into the game as a pinch runner.

I'm not an expert on sports psychology, but it looked to me like we really crushed their spirits last weekend. Just reading their quotes after the games ... like, this was not fun.

In other news, good grief with these announcers.

trade for a starter, and give up some positional prospects in a package. I think that Cashman will find a 4th starter type for a reasonable price...perhaps a reclamation project?

Doesn't matter, he won't play again for a month.

With a triple!

back home in SoCal, Refsnyder, the life long Angels fan off to a great start

him being a quick healer given that.

Headcase.

Lucky he hasn't already given up 6. Everything has been hit hard

Espinosa is hitting .164. Come the fuck on

Ref actually looks like a pretty competent RF.

I don't think the batting practice pitcher gets hit as hard as he has tonight. Every ball is being hit like a rocket. I hope this kid Herrera is ready to pitch.

Two of the three hits in the first inning were dinners, including an infield single, and a seeing eye ground ball in the second.

Dinkers not dinners

Huge out.

Getting murdered.

I despise the Angels

Has not done a good job of blocking pitches this season

This is brutal

4-0 lead before he ever throws a pitch to this AAAA lineup and he gags it up in three innings.

Keeps shaking his arm. Wonder if he's hurt. If not,this is just pathetic.

Journeyman scrubs and complete nobodies.

guess he was way overdue for a 2016 vintage start.

Going to be a long one, hopefully the offense can outslug that murderers row on the Angels

Need to start hammering this clown.

very curious to see what Cashman does in terms of SP in the next 6 weeks

Looks like another night I won't make it

I have like 45 mins before i pass out. Just ate dominos like a fat ass. Is a $6 tip good for $21 worth of gross food. House is 10 mins from dominos

Because he is suppose to be looking at the ball. (First base with a runner in front of him)It was a ground ball not a line drive. Announcers both agreed.

I saw him getting out easily.

Sent him desperation Baseball.

judge was just touching the bag as young fielded the ball
And he wasn't deep out there

You've got to be kidding me. This game is pissing me off something fierce.

Would have bases loaded for Gary who is 2-2.

Shuttup. He was looking. The ball was laced and took a hop.

You really are the worst. I thank the BBI gods that your existence is allowed on this site. ::eye roll::

But it would never be overturned so it doesn't matter. Horrible decision to send him anyway.

Exactly. Truly awful.

Btw, no surprise because of the network, but between this crew and the Sciambi, Sutcliffe and Ross crew, baseball is on mute for me. Just terrible.

That kinda night.

Boo for running yourself into an out in Little League fashion.

are we trying to cost ourselves 10 runs?

All things considered

If the trade happend tonight.. Bird +

Idk

Didn't have anything close to his best stuff but ground out 6 innings.

Top of the order needs to get it done here.

regarding sending Judge. He's the kind of guy that when he gets accelerated, he can cover a lot of ground with those strides.

The LF received the ball before Judge touched third and I thought he was going to be out by a country mile, yet it ended up being a very close play at the plate even with a very good throw by Young (though he did double clutch).

Just because Judge was likely getting thrown out does not mean it was wrong to send him. It's like hitting on a 16 in blackjack when the dealer shows a 10. You're likely going to bust, but it's still the best decision.

It's worth knowing that if Judge holds up, it's bases loaded with two outs for Sanchez. Sanchez is hitting well this year, with an OBP of .365.

Also, according to data from 2000-2015, the chances of scoring at least a run with 2 outs and the bases loaded is 31.6%

Odds are, if Judge held up, the Yankees would not score because all baseball players make an out more often than they avoid an out.

So, using that, and considering that Sanchez is above average, it becomes a question of which was more likely: Young making a great throw and getting Judge, or Sanchez reaching base.

Simmons can really flash the leather. Another guy that the fans miss out on seeing because he plays for a non-contending West Coast team.

Shocking

tonight as Castro ends a good AB by swinging at a horrendous pitch.

3.2 IP by that joker Bridwell and one lousy run. Gotta do better than that against a crap pitcher.

WTF.

that was Valbuena.

...

Noted slugger Andrelton Simmons. Awesome.

Worst lineup in the AM. Christ.

Doesn't help that Boston is fattening up against the shitty Phillies.

When is Chapman coming back so we don't have to hold onto Betances for these save opportunities that never come?

Tie game late on the road is when you put in the kid from AA? Odd decision.

??? Ok.. smh.

Pineda blew a 4 run lead in three frames and was his usual undependable self. The team made a bunch of outs on the basepaths. And EY Jr, who's barely a major leaguer at this point in his career killed them with his bat and glove.

On the road, they are under .500 16-17

I've mentioned that before - we're a different team on the road than at home, for whatever reasons.

But Sanchez and Holliday bear most of the blame for the last two runs he allowed.

Pineda not doing well - the game was still tied after he was out.

We've made a couple mistakes the past two games - Carter the night before cost them.

It happens.

with Chapman's return. Too many games lost in the 7th or 8th inning lately. Getting Betances back in that role fixes most of that.

He's barely pitched, there just haven't been enough 9th inning opportunities. The downside of the defined closer role.

Didn't watch (too late for me), but why put in this loser into a tied game in the seventh? He has nothing as a pitcher -- or am I missing something? Anyway he proved to be a loser who lost this one for the Yankees.

Classic. He didn't watch and has never seen the kid pitch in his life. Knows absolutely NOTHING about him. Yet, calls him a loser. Twice.

Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, is he?

fans can be such reactionary fuckheads.

A lot of the time.

of a kid in his first game. He doesn't have overpowering stuff either. The result wasn't a shock.

It's a long season. Let's bury the A's in what should be a slugfest.

What's also funny about the "loser" thing is that Herrera actually hadn't lost a game yet this year when they brought him up - at Trenton he was 7-0 with a 1.07 ERA.

Some "loser" ...

last night. He also, as has been stated already, is a guy who succeeds with guile and command rather than overpowering stuff. His adrenaline was pumping and he was overthrowing - you could see it. Led to him missing his spots.

Gonna watch BP, chat with players and leave in the 3rd inning to make it back for Yanks/As

I will pay extra close attention to Torres, Frazier, Austin, Bird, Fowler and Wade.
