Why is Oswaldo Cabrera in and not Berti? What are the Yankees doing?

P.S. Just kidding. I saw that Berti is going on the DL
Imagine being Poteet. And imagine he reads BBI.  
DC Gmen Fan : 4/13/2024 8:25 pm : link
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.
Another win! 12-3, baby!

Double-header sweeps are always fun, especially on the road against a good team.
Sweep complete 🧹  
bceagle05 : 4/13/2024 8:41 pm : link
12-3 record on the year. More good ABs from Volpe - I thought this offense would be great without some big leap from him.

I'll mention it ... who the hell is Cody Poteet?? :-)
What a difference Soto adds to the offense  
GFAN52 : 4/13/2024 9:20 pm : link
along with Volpe's improved hitting.

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.
Why did they skip Gills turn in the rotation  
xman : 4/13/2024 9:34 pm : link
Are they being that cautious with his arm? His next scheduled outing is next Friday
12-3 and still Judge hasn’t gotten hot yet  
Greg from LI : 4/13/2024 9:35 pm : link
And still no Cole. This is amazing

Don't forget Jasson Dominguez may return later this summer.

Gil is starting tomorrow per ESPN.
Ozzie Cabrera  
GruningsOnTheHill : 4/13/2024 11:00 pm : link
This guy is incredible.

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.

So I guess Soto gets 10 years, 500 million?  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/14/2024 9:53 am : link
If he ages like Albert Pujols, that’s 6 or 7 more years of elite production.

I’d offer him that right now. I doubt he takes it, but what’s the harm?

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.

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.

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.
Judge three-run bomb  
bceagle05 : 4/14/2024 2:24 pm : link
after a Volpe walk and Soto single. Nestor sharp early.
Great to see Judge contribute in a big way.

“Just give Volpe a chance with a runner on.” He’s already earned that respect.
That kid Volpe

could’ve gotten to third on that Rizzo hit but it’s set up for Verdugo now.

I’m cool with Dominguez taking Verdugo’s place as soon as possible, assuming Stanton continues to contribute.
