.

mostly pitch from the windup, we are in good shape. Once he has to go to the stretch, he is a completely different pitcher.

And Boone needs to be reminded Bird can hit lefties, and took one of the best in the game deep last year in the playoffs.

Oh and Austin sucks right now taboot. I really doubt the occasional game is gonna get him out of his funk. He needs to go to Scranton and play every day there.

Hopefully German throws a good game.

Yeah, and people work themselves out of slumps on the bench.

I doubt he's gonna work himself out of it playing a game here and there in the bigs. Keep Toe up and send Austin down so he can play everyday. Much better chance of him getting his shit together there than here.

My picks for players of the game are:

1. Tyler Austin
1a. Gary Sanchez

Haha. I hope you're right and Austin has a great game. I doubt he will but we can hope.

It's really more about me thinking Bird should be playing every day combined with Austin struggling and I don't get why he's in there.

He’s struggling too and coming off an injury. I have no problem with him easing in to things. He’s not exactly crushing it. And Austin destroys left handed pitching. It’s the reason he’s still on the team

Austin is not gonna play against lefties, then why is he on the roster. BTW I also think he would be better served playing everyday in Scranton.

Pretty weak by the yankees bullpen buys.

thus far.

picked off there

True about coming back from that injury but he's been back a couple of weeks now. Time to see if that foot can handle several games in a row IMO. Plus, he's really their everyday 1B, and the more AB's he gets the sooner he'll get locked in.

Austin was crushing lefties but was is the key word there. Like I said, I hope he breaks out tonight and has a great game. It's really no big deal or bad move by Boone but I'd just rather see Bird in there and think that would've been a better move. JMHO

.

Jesus...

I'd rather deal with him working on his control issues, and whatever other rookie growing pains, than have to endure German's frequent shit shows.

He literally adds NOTHING to the team. Zero.

He has the mental fortitude to grow from these struggles imo

I would call up Giovanny Gaellegos for a spot start or two for German, and I would give young Sheff a shot at spelling Tanaka for 2-3 starts

Cessa won't be ready util around the ASB I believe. He can be helpful in the pen possibly if he has his act together as well as some spot starts.

If he gets 5 IP with just the 3 runs he earns his keep (he's staying either way tho probably)

Is a pretty good analyst when it comes to what's happening on the field but he needs to lay off playing GM. The Yanks "could be" one of the favorites to win it all if they get a top pitcher? They're already one of the favorites!

...who the fuck in their right mind would want to watch the Yankees with Domingo German on the mound?

What are you talking about? He's got good stuff, he just has to put it together and that will come with experience. He got through a really tough Astros lineup after the one bad pitch.

He's their #5 starter and no one is expecting him to be Cy Young. I seem to remember Sevie being similar a couple of seasons ago.

Agreed. Toe should be called up and him down. All he does is swing for the fences and missed more then not

A Mets fan who is looking at the Yankee prospects to see who we would want for DeGrom.

Mm spicy

So it's Gleyber and Andujar again

.

This Yanks lineup really punishes.

Torres and Andujar are beasts

Every time from a rookie #5 starter.

Kid's got fantastic stuff he just needs to keep getting out there every five days.

That’s why some of us laughed when Dan said the Yankees don’t have a premium guy to offer the Mets if Torres isn’t involved, yet he thinks Rodgers and Hiura are centerpieces. Andujar is a stud.

No doubt he is.

I'm not trading either one and breaking this thing up. If it ain't broke.....

i'd be lying if i said I was fully aware of the exact met bench right now, but a chance to go ahead late with a single is infinitely higher with anyone running than Gonzalez.

!

Let's put this one away, boys!

Chalk up another loss

...

.

And bitch about your no5 starter not being an ace or that one hole on the entire offensive roster.

Trying being a mets fan. Every pitcher is a no5 starter and the offensive roster only has one player who is a plus.

I thought this torture might go to extra innings before the mets inevitably lose.

Really. I tried to say it was too early to think that and that he hasn't been given much to work with, all of which is true, but he's not any good with what he does have either. Mistake after mistake and inspires nothing and no one.

Factor into this?? He’s got a shit roster and went with his best healthy bullpen piece against the heart of the NYY lineup.

Swarzak made one mistake and paid. He owned the next 2 hitters.

Break things all the way back down and start focusing on line drive singles.

He was dominant again (he got some favorable breaks with Frazier though)

Yup. Great insight on that. Here's hoping he keeps his focus there.

The HR's will come just like they did in April but hitting line drives is his best approach.

Nice to welcome 2015 Dellin back lately we missed you big fella

returning to form makes this team so much better

Not really happy that AB’s going to go to Chapman here.

Makes me feel relieved that they evidently didn’t find anything concerning with the incident last night, but Chapman is just too valuable to this team to take anything other than the most cautious route.

That makes the Betances renaissance more important. It's highly likely Chapman will need a rest/DL stint with his tendinitis so Betances might be pressed into a closer role
