And imagine that after his game, he is so excited to come check out the thread on BBI of people complimenting him and he doesn’t even see his name mentioned once.
I'll mention it ... who the hell is Cody Poteet?? :-)
.
He gave them what they needed, 6 solid innings, hope
Clarke '5 1/3'Schimidt was paying attention. They escaped in Game 1, leaving all those men on base. Torres with another bad throwing error didn't help. Try for a sweep today.
RE: RE: So I guess Soto gets 10 years, 500 million?
Are they being that cautious with his arm? His next scheduled outing is next Friday
Because with a double header they can add a pitcher as the 27th player and not have to option someone else, plus they have a six game stretch coming where they want to give their starters their normal rest between starts.

updates per the Post:
Luis Gil was available out of the bullpen for Saturday’s doubleheader — either for length or a big inning — though the Yankees did not need him.
The right-hander was initially scheduled to start Saturday, but after Friday’s game was postponed to set up a twin bill Saturday, the Yankees opted to call up Cody Poteet to start Game 2 and will start Nestor Cortes on Sunday.
Because he did not pitch Saturday, Gil will start Monday’s series opener against the Blue Jays in Toronto, with Carlos Rodon and Marcus Stroman following on extra rest.
The Yankees made a flurry of roster moves between games of the doubleheader, mostly necessitated by Jon Berti going on the 10-day IL with a left groin strain. They selected the contract of infielder Kevin Smith from Triple-A to replace Berti on the active roster, but to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Smith, they designated lefty reliever Josh Maciejewski for assignment.
If he continues hitting like this, are they really going to sit him when DJLM returns?DJ has been on the decline for a few years now, and at 36 or whatever, it doesn't seem likely he will return to 2019 form.
I look for DJLM to get Wally Pipped at 3B by Cabrera.
I hope it turns out this way, but I think Oswaldo is pretty highly ranked in the AL in some stats, which is likely not to continue.

Cabrera had a decent 1st season, even if short. He had a forgettable season last year. Now he seems to have abandoned the swing for the seats mentality and is making contact. He is a VG utility guy in the field. If he can be a .250 ba and .350 obp player he will used often.
Yes, it remains to be seen if he can keep up his good ABs.
Sometimes this guy looks like a slick fielding 2nd baseman. And then there are those other times when his leather can lose ball games. This was one of those "other times."
to turn around and watch the tag play at the plate.
Seriously.
Gleyber's sin wasn't so much not coming up clean with the hard hit ball with infield in, but not being mentally prepared to get the available out at first base. Then you lose on the sac fly. spectating on the base path - ( New Window )

Don't forget his foibles on the basepaths each year as well.
They can move on from him after this season, they have not been in any hurry to extend him for sure...and with good reason!

The real mistake by Verdugo was running to close to the baseline, on a play like that, you have to run just a little outside the line. It wasn't a lack of hustle, looked like he was a bit concerned about being hit by the throw home. You have to have better field awareness out there...

Verdugo didn't hustle out of the box; he did look surprised by the throw coming home, when he shouldn't have been; and then he couldn't resist turning his head back toward the plate to see what was happening, for which there is no excuse.
That 3-2-3 play is almost never made unless the play at the plate is a force. Credit to the catcher for being alert to the fact that Verdugo was nowhere near where he should have been getting to first.
There's a reason he was benched more than once by Alex Cora and was on Cora's sh-- list.

Go look at how close Verdugo was to the direct line of the particular throw by the first baseman, to me it looked more like he flinched, you can call it lack of hustle at the outset if you want...in today's game, not unusual by the way. As I stated previously, he should have been running wider down the line.
I live in Mass., don't think you are going to tell me anything about Verdugo I don't know. Last year I recall he was benched for not hustling and being late to the ballpark.
It wasn't just hustle, or lack thereof.

You're right that he flinched in surprise at the throw home, and I acknowledged that, but it's part of the whole picture.
If the bases had been loaded, he probably would have busted out of the box to avoid the 3-2-3 DP and expected that throw.
Instead, right from bat contact, he was thinking/wondering/spectating about how the play was going to develop, rather than busting. And he created a non-force DP when it should never have happened.
If you want to call that lack of awareness rather than laziness, I would say you're splitting hairs.
on his own? Don’t forget, Torres already had a miscue the day before on D.
You know how I feel about Torres. Too bad that jerk Peraza refused to step up to take the spot. Gleyber is like a less talented Biaz who gives 15% more fuck but still prone to brain farts.
RE: Not that we can blame the DP on him, but you think Torres bunted

The broadcasters guessed that he bunted on his own. I liked it.
I do like Gleyber and I think he actually cares about winning. He's emotionally built a certain way as a person, including some bonehead plays, but I think it's just the way he is. I don't see any malice or ill intent or laziness. Just a dude that's wired a little differently.
I’d offer him that right now. I doubt he takes it, but what’s the harm?
Quote:
12-3 record on the year. More good ABs from Volpe - I thought this offense would be great without some big leap from him.
Soon as we lock up Soto, Volpe-Soto-Judge could be our 1-2-3 for the next god knows how many years. Very exciting.
We also have a Martian returning.

Pitching gets you 700(!!!!) million.

Rizzo with two Es already in two innings.
I’m cool with Dominguez taking Verdugo’s place as soon as possible, assuming Stanton continues to contribute.
