Headley leadoff single up the middle. Judge clocked a 1-2 pitch out in right center. Dude is a beast.

did they give Judge a Triple? I thought as soon as a fan touches the ball in play its dead, shouldnt it basically have only 3 possible outcomes? Home run, ground rule double our automatic out? Just curious, didnt know it was allowable to just play it out and see where the play takes you.

But for fucks sake, catch the effin ball. Maybe he should have forfeited the glove for dropping a can of corn.

Point 2 - WTF is MLB looking at? That ball was well over the wall. I want to here that explanation. Not some drivel about Yadi and the boring ass broadcast team.

You're right. On replay it was lower than I thought.

Love Pineda's mentality after giving it up. It seemed out of mind by the next pitch.

within themselves. Romine protecting and going the other way; Torreyes drills a hanger; Judge with controlled aggression. Bird ripped that ball the other way yesterday and since then looks like the eye is back. Hicks may be rewarding Girardi's and Cashman's faith.

great to see the Bird Man raking too. Oh and Molina was an absolute embarrassment behind the plate this series. Starting Friday night when he couldn't be bothered to reach for the throw and jogged after it letting Ellsbury steal a run. How many passed balls did he have this weekend? I get it the Cards suck this year and he's used to contending, but he just signed a huge multi-year deal and thats the pathetic effort he gives all weekend? He literally mailed this series in. I'f I'm management I'd have a serious sit down with him after this debacle.
Well done.

Matt M. : 4/17/2017 1:14 am : link
gave us exactly what we had been expecting for a couple of years. The talent has never been a question for either one. It has been the consistency.

For me, Severino was a huge question mark and disappointment. I thought he would have to work out his issues in the minors. Thus far, he has proven me wrong in a big way and I am thrilled because this is the guy I expected 2 years ago.

For me, Severino was a huge question mark and disappointment. I thought he would have to work out his issues in the minors. Thus far, he has proven me wrong in a big way and I am thrilled because this is the guy I expected 2 years ago.



Props on the mea culpa. You may still turn out to be right; it's early. In your defense, baseball is the hardest sport to project young players.
Yes, because with such long seasons, after a few, young players aren't so young any longer. Severino is at a critical juncture in his career this season. The last two starts were very powerful for him.
long season

Every team usually wins 50 games and loses 50 games. Its those games in the middle.... Glad to see our young players do well.
This team is playing so well, it's fun to watch.

Hard to expect the starters to remain this consistent or some of the contributions we are getting to continue, but it is a lot of fun. And all without Sanchez and Didi, too.

The two Aarons look so confident and comfortable at the plate too. Such a difference from last year where they both seemed to be fighting themselves up there.
I continued to be amazed by Headley

Fully admit I've long been on the Headley sucks bandwagon...happy to eat crow. Looks extremely confident at the plate, not chasing bad pitches or trying to over-hit, and he's been an OBP machine

I know we like to debate Girardis lineups, and he's looking pretty smart right now - but I really think he could be hitting Headley 2nd for now
Well, it's a small sample so we'll see what he does going forward

But I have been shocked by Headley. I thought he was finished as a productive player.
yea

I can't believe Headley is playing like this. He's been trash as a Yankee for the most part, but here he is having a hell of a hot streak to start the year. If he can just be "above-average" for us this year, I'll take it.
This team is hot right now.

Can't wait until Sanchez and Didi get back. Could be even better.

Me too and I was actually in favor of the trade for him and re-signing him way back when. He should be batting 2nd, though.

Just as important with Headley is, thus far, his defense has been very good also.
Headley was an average or slightly below offensive 3B

With an MVP-conversation season a few years ago. I didn't think he would be this good and I doubt he will do this all year, but the hatred for him was borderline irrational. Nowhere near Ellsbury's class of albatross deal. Second half 2016 Headley was playing at or around his contract, value-wise.
Thats sugar coating it
