He rarely does with Sanchez. IDK why they would start a big road trip ignoring one of the few things that worked the final month of the first half.
I have defended Romine here but look at it this way - Sanchez is an all-star, Holliday is back at DH and we just traded for a real 1B. Who sits for Romine, whose bat is that of a backup catcher?

ITA agree Sanchez should be starting the first day after the break, but why go with Montgomery if they weren't going to use the catcher they obviously think he performs better with? Might as well start Sevy or Tanaka.
We're not the manager, but they clearly see the same things we do and the same numbers otherwise Romine wouldn't have caught his last 7 games.
are in the Yanks' long-term plans, and Romine not so much (though like I said, I like Romine). At what point do you just force Sanchez and Monty to start working together? If you look at this from next year's perspective, it doesn't strike me as crazy.
I would prefer Ellsbury scratched. Traded for a pitcher. Baby steps lol. Hopefully that happens before Hicks returns.
I thought Frazier would have started tonight over Jacoby.
Ellsbury could get concussed. Then they will never trade him. I agree on Frazier. There is no showcase with Ellsbury. DFA him please or bench him until pitcher with bad contract swap is complete, he has less luck than Fowler.
Just pure misery night after night. You keep figuring it will turn around at some point but it doesn't. The back end of the pen is like rolling yge dice at this point. Man the wheels have come off yhe wagon.
Tells you something about AL pressure compared to the NL.
Frankly, he can't be counted on in tight games in this League. IMHO, he just wasn't worth the money. Find someone else (along with real, reliable pitching help overall -- a festering shortcoming of the Yankees stratergy).
Either the SP'S get us down 5-0 or the backend guys blow it or both. I love Joe but in this stretch his lineup decisions continue to boggle the mind. Truthfully in a bunch of these games we've blown its allowing baserunners in the 7th and 8th that have killed us. We let teams turn over the order and get their best hitters up in the 9th.
was a pure "binder" move. Gardner and Ellsbury have solid/good numbers coming into the game versus Pomeranz. I would've started Frazier myself at one of those spots.
What a terrible loss. How many of these can we take??????????
Chapman almost singe handidly won the WS for the Cubs Even without his command, ball doesnt get out of the infield Infielders blow two routine pkays and now he sucks Pitchers go through slumps too Look at Betances That doesnt mean these two arent really, really good
Left handed rookies usually sit against left handed starters That's the way it is It will be surprising if Frazier plays against Sale

My thinking as well. The starting rotation is another story unfortunately.
I'm guessing he trusts Gardy more than Frazier to handle LF and the monster at Fenway
It really frustrates me when that happens he is the fastest guy on the team you have your big hitters coming up to drive him in

Walks the #9 guy - can't do that.
Have you looked at the rest of the league? It's the rabbit ball ERA, man.
"I feel like I'm walking on sunshine!"
This screams a subtle hint from Cash coupled with the three ring.
The only thing they may be stuck is paying him, but paying him doesn't mean he has to be on the roster.

Why the fuck is he positioned like that? Playing him halfway makes no sense. Either play back or play all the way in
This contract already looks brutal
Walks in the winning run. Fucking joke
These guys fucking suck.
You're joking right?
Maybe after this weekend, sell off continues. We're relying on the young guys to hit without good enough pitching.
23 pitches, 11 strikes, maybe 2 swing and misses? That's fuckin pathetic. Horrific stuff from Chapman.

Chances are Severino won't out duel Sale tomorrow and they'll manage to split Sunday losing 3 of 4 up there and leave 5.5 out...
Batting 7th, I'm not sure why he was in the lineup. He's fragile.

Frazier is a righty

There he is. Doesn't show up unless the Yankees shit the bed. Like clockwork.
And homerjones - Frazier is a righty. Why wouldn't he bat against Sale? Your post makes no sense.

Leads off the game with a walk and never even attempted to steal. It's mind boggling
Don't confuse speed with good baserunning. Gardner is fast, but has never been more than an average base stealer.
And don't confuse base stealing with base running. He is one of the best base runners in the majors.
