NFT: 7/23 Yankees (50-46) @ Mariners (49-50)

...

to lead off the game

Leadoff home run!

Yankees up 1-0

Fuck yeah!

.

Seemed like an attacking lefty with some juice on it.

I'll take one of these each of the next 7 innings.

HR to right, 2-0 Yanks

2-0 good guys

Solo shot!

2-0 Yanks!

we need to see a winning Didi tweet later

...

This is fun!

then Todd Frazier chases a breaking ball away on the first pitch to hit a weak fly ball to right. Not a big fan of him in the lineup so far

but it'd be nice to see Frazier at least hit something hard. Everything is popped up

Let's get both of these runners home.

Kid looks smooth

Really bad

I thought Joe might sit him instead of Ellsbury today and put Judge at DH.

Smith going strong. Still only near 30 pitchers.

Would have been a good idea in retrospect, given how our lefties are crushing this dude.

Awesome.

...

...

2nd Solo HR of the game!

3-0 Yanks!

2 HRs and a web gem

Second solo shot.

work quickly and economically. Seems like all of our starters besides Severino need 60-70 pitches to get through 3 innings lately

.

This is awesome.

Gets robbed, continuing our bad luck in getting balls to hit the ground in the outfield lately.

...

And our power hitting 1st baseman with 20 feet from the warning track power again.

Lol that's literally about as far as he can hit it. At least he's gotten a few singles lately

lol

...

Nice try ump.

Clint misses by a few feet.

are looking forward to getting back to Yankee Stadium. Mariners outfield is running down a lot of well hit balls.

Is the 1st base ump the ump that was behind the plate yesterday with the atrocious strike zone?

Let's get 2 more.

for the kid here

and of course we let them hang around.

Need 1 more. Get this fuckin' guy Gamel out.

By the time he is 24, that ball will be in the 12th row. The kid is monster strong, and world-class athletic. He really impresses me a lot. What a collection the Yanks are going to have.

Mateo .360/.439/.628 in 99 plate appearances since being promoted to AA. Reached base in all 22 games. And how about these:

Domingo Acevedo (RHP) remains undefeated with the Thunder (4-0) with a 2.32 ERA in 54 1/3 innings with Trenton.
Zack Littell (RHP) is 5-0 with Trenton with a 2.25 ERA in 40 innings in Double-A (14-1 overall, 1.94 ERA in combined 111 1/3 innings).

Thairo Estrada (2B/SS) continues to pace the Thunder with 112 hits and his .315 average is tied for third in the Eastern League.

And at AAA:

Miguel Andujar (3B) is pounding the ball over his last nine games with three home runs, while hitting .412 (14-for-34) during the stretch. Andujar looks like a player to me.

Giovanny Gallegos (RHP) has thrown nine shutout innings across five appearances since returning from the disabled list. Gallegos has allowed just two hits, walked none and struck out 14 in the stretch.

Jake Cave (OF) has been an absolute offensive force over his last 10 games, hitting .444, with four home runs and 13 RBIs.

Billy McKinney (OF) has elevated his game since his promotion. He is hitting .339 with a .379 on-base percentage and a .613 slugging percentage in 66 plate appearances.

What a collection. We will need to make more trades of guys we would otherwise lose to Rule 5.

Who was Wade throwing the ball to?

.

shitting.

fuck fuck.
