getting a strike 3 inches inside against Judge.
DIDI goes yard!!!

Didi golfs one out  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:22 pm : link
1-0

He just mashes lefties.

wearing high-socks today.
Stanton  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:24 pm : link
with a 120mph laser into Solarte's glove.

I was reading his launch angle is way down so far this year. If there is something to that you sure can see it in the balls in play so far.
Feels like a new beginning to the season.

Perfect weather, Sevy on the mound, Gleyber's debut.
Damn , I think didi has hit the next level  
DennyInDenville : 4/22/2018 1:25 pm : link
I thought last season was his ceiling..

But with the added walks, supreme confidence, leadership and now even more power, is he becoming a superstar?

Is this the real Didi? Will he get even better? Pretty cool stuff.

Also, gotta love Torreyes! Guy is such a pro and perfect 25th man, the way he is showing Gleyber Torres the way is truly wholesome.

Toe needs to stay, Wade will never be Toe.

Read this article. He has recently been quoted as saying that when he got this issue under control he felt much much stronger and explosive. I'd say his ceiling is what we will see this season or next.

Sevy with his 4th K through 2  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:31 pm : link
and he looks Manaeacal with both his command and his stuff.
Didi just looks so  
section125 : 4/22/2018 1:31 pm : link
comfortable and confident at the plate.

That was a great read , thanks! Never knew that about Didi, its pretty amazing he's dealt with all that, and how little power he once had. What a great move by Cashman, it can't be said enough what a great trade that was.
Andujar continues to mash with another double  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:40 pm : link
Torres K's as Garcia didn't through him anything in the zone.
Romine with a 2 run double!!!  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2018 1:42 pm : link
3-0 Yanks.
Nice!  
bceagle05 : 4/22/2018 1:43 pm : link
Romine picks up the rook.
Romine with a beautiful poke to RF  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:43 pm : link
2 run double.

3-0

These are huge huge hits.
Great job by Romine

Cannot imagine what his heart rate was....

As Romine strokes the two run double.
Really like Romine as a backup...  
Neckbone1333 : 4/22/2018 1:46 pm : link
Has a good glove, and gets good at bats.
Torres’ first AB reminded me of Crash Davis talking about his 3 weeks  
mfsd : 4/22/2018 1:47 pm : link
in the majors to the rest of the Durham Bulls...they throw ungodly breaking stuff in the Show...exploding sliders...
fucking nose-picker  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:50 pm : link
with an off the end of the bat single.

I'm shocked to see Travis in the lineup today. I guess he isn't as injured as reported.
Dear Michael Kay  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 1:53 pm : link
don't ever call the Blue Jays Canada's team. They aren't.
Our entire lineup today is under 30  
DennyInDenville : 4/22/2018 1:56 pm : link
Pretty cool

Romine is the oldest at 29
Sevy's command isn't there in the 3rd  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:00 pm : link
good thing his stuff can carry him.
Worked entirely too hard  
section125 : 4/22/2018 2:01 pm : link
that inning.
Judge crushes one  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:02 pm : link
right at Solarte. They are real close to chopping this guy down. I think we are going to need more runs.
we didn't give Sevy  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:04 pm : link
much of a break there either. Back out there.
Hicks can't play that double  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:09 pm : link
and crashes into the wall.

Run faster and get there earlier. He should have had it.
A little Bob Gibson  
section125 : 4/22/2018 2:13 pm : link
chin music....
I think you meant could have  
arniefez : 4/22/2018 2:14 pm : link
a ball hit that hard and that far is on the pitcher not the CF. There are certainly a few MLB CF's that catch that ball but not many.

He has done that a few times and certainly often enough to expect it is intentional. Pays for itself.

I didn't wanna say it out loud but i totally agree. That's a ball even ellsbury tracks with ease as a pro.

Hicks is good in CF and we know his arm is great but his finesse in CF is B grade. He's elite in the corners however.

No I mean should. His nonchalance is something I've seen on how he tracks alot of balls. An average CFer doesn't even get to that ball but he should have been there with enough time to make that catch.

Eh, he got there and I'd bet he makes that catch 7 out of 10 times. Not easy. Kiermyer, Pillar, Gardy and some others...
great walk by Austin  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:21 pm : link
if he can just lay off some of those off-speed pitches and improve his pitch recognition he is going to put some pressure on Bird.
this umpire  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:22 pm : link
has Garcia about 6 inches down his throat. Giving him high and inside now.
Torres up again  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:24 pm : link
definitely more patient this time.
another ball  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:25 pm : link
crushed right at Solarte. Much better AB by the rook.
Stanton

Crushed? Easy chopper - he swung over the ball, but yes, much better pitch recognition.

LF in Yankee Stadium is brutal and always has been.
What a play by Stanton!!!

athletic grab  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:31 pm : link
by Stanton to track down that laser by Gurriel.
i'd love to watch Judge  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:37 pm : link
start getting some respect from umpires in this league.
he walks  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:40 pm : link
and ball four, clearly below his knees, he hesitated before walking to first as if to say - really?

A promising sign that the ump did not call a strike on that pitch...a few inches low to Judge and he called it right
Sevy  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:46 pm : link
with 89-91mph on his slider today.
Hernandez with fly ball that carried out  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:47 pm : link
he has much more pop than expected.

Hanging slider.

3-1
Another hanging slider  
section125 : 4/22/2018 2:49 pm : link
because he got behind in the count again. Too many waste pitches too far from the plate.
Big DP.  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/22/2018 2:49 pm : link
.
great turn by Torres  
RasputinPrime : 4/22/2018 2:50 pm : link
for that DP. Sevy sure needed that.
