3. Didi Gregorius (L) SS
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
5. Gary Sanchez (R) C
6. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
7. Miguel Andujar (R) 3B
8. Neil Walker (S) 1B

1. Kevin Kiermaier (L) CF
2. Matt Duffy (R) DH

How to escape...

...a sweep in Tampa?

Is this the start of a team slump?
Why do we always have trouble

playing in Tampa? Its like that place just drains the energy from this team like kryptonite.

But once we leave we seem to wake back up.

It's 2 losses - I really don't think there's any cause for concern.

I bet the bats put up 5 runs or more today.

Yet to drop 3 straight all season and I don't think it's going to happen now, either.

I know they're pros and we expect them to play well no matter where but I do think that shithole has something to do with it. It's dreary as hell, and I can see how anyone would have a bit of a letdown playing there.

That said, I expect a bounce back win today and then the bats to heat up in the hitter friendly Citizens Bank Park in Philly. Just in time to be back to playing well for the Sux next week at the Stadium.

I think he'll stay away from Hamels - or at least I hope he does.

Happ is a realistic target. Depending on what happens with the Angels, Richards is another guy worth checking in on down the road.

I wouldn't hate going after Tyson Ross depending on the price.

I still like German a lot, and I agree he should keep pitching and keep developing. Tanaka will/should take Johnny Lasagna's spot when he's back. German should get a few more turns through.

Gray seems pretty unreliable right now. Sevvy and CC are the only two guys I think you can trust in a bigger spot right now. So, whether it's one starter or two.. it'll need to be addressed. But I'm still very much against dumping the farm to do it.

LOL. Tough crowd!

For what it's worth, the day of the DET doubleheader was when I "flipped" and started watching every game..

13-6 in that span including a sweep of the Mariners.

Frustrating series in TB so far. But this one is far from over. 3 runs isn't the end of the world against a team that uses their fucking bullpen for entire games.
How many runs

seemingly there’s a series like this in Tampa. Where their shitty hitters are suddenly ripping extra base hits and the offense doesn’t do much against their no name pitchers. All against the drab back drop of this awful stadium.

Yeah, he's been better in other spots when he's gotten regular PT - but he's never going to get that here. So, I definitely don't think he's long for the spot he has right now.

Yeah he's not going to get that here and to me is really only injury insurance.

They're going to have to figure out what to do with that roster spot. Status quo, bring Drury up or bring Toe back. At least Toe produces when put in a game. Not easy to be a utility guy like that and continue to produce, plus he always seems to bring a spark to the club.

Yes they have but its not like those starters went really deep in games.

My point is they have seen these relievers. While it's not easy to see them rarely, seeing them recently should've helped. It's not like this was the first time they've seen these guys. If it was say a Nationals staff, I think your point would carry more weight as that would be once or twice in years if ever, not a week or so.

I agree with that. If you're going to play in a rinky dink park, anything hanging should be a ground rule double, and the upper rings a HR. No way a ball should still be in play like that or a fielder being able to catch it for an out.

Clown shoes baseball stadium, and MLB should be ashamed they hold professional games there. A minor league park, who cares but a Major League one? What a joke.

Thankfully we have Romine. Could do way worse. A lot of teams don't even have a starter as good as Romine right now. There's really a dearth of talent at the C position across the league.

Yeah well maybe if Boone doesn't sit him again the game after a big HR, and when he was getting his stroke down, he would've been locked in. Instead he gets cooled off by his own manager for the 2nd time this year just when it looked like he was coming around.

No reason he couldn't have at least DH'd after hitting the game tying HR vs the M's.

I think he'll stay away from Hamels - or at least I hope he does.

Happ is a realistic target. Depending on what happens with the Angels, Richards is another guy worth checking in on down the road.

I wouldn't hate going after Tyson Ross depending on the price.

I still like German a lot, and I agree he should keep pitching and keep developing. Tanaka will/should take Johnny Lasagna's spot when he's back. German should get a few more turns through.

Gray seems pretty unreliable right now. Sevvy and CC are the only two guys I think you can trust in a bigger spot right now. So, whether it's one starter or two.. it'll need to be addressed. But I'm still very much against dumping the farm to do it.

Cole Hamels got absolutely rocked in his last postseason appearance. He gave up 6 runs in 3.1 innings. That was 2 years ago. Now he's 34 years old. He has a 5.14 FIP this year. He wasn't good last year, either.

You want to give up a good prospect for him, be my guest. I'd say buyer beware.

Richards is having a very solid year. Yeah, he has a hamstring strain so it depends if he gets back from that and pitches decently. But his k/9 is over 10 right now and he's been a respectable mid-rotation starter.

Tyson Ross doesn't stink. He has a 3.34 ERA this year and was an all-star a few years ago. He has talent, he's been hurt and looks like he's getting his groove back now.

I'm looking for guys who can help but won't cost a ton to acquire, so these guys aren't going to be perfect options. I don't think the right move here is unloading half the farm for one of the Mets pitchers or Blake Snell.

The goal shouldn't be to go all in on this year, it should be to maximize the window of contention. Putting all our eggs in the 2018 basket would be the wrong approach, IMO.

That's what I want to avoid. I'm looking at the tier of pitchers that wouldn't require that - or at least guys I don't think would require that.

I think it would be a mistake to deal Frazier away for anything less than a front line starter. And that's not the route I think we should go.

Judge already naturally has a bigger strike zone than almost everyone that has ever played the game. And when you add in the fact that every freaking at bat he has balls out of the zone called strikes, his umpire made up zone is completely unfair and an absolute joke. All a pitcher has to do is throw it in the zip code of the plate and it’s a strike. Completely unfair

He's just not getting out of his slump and it's been going on so long that it's way beyond a normal slump. With time off and a long rehab assignment, he can hit the reset switch and work on his swing, and getting his confidence back, under much less pressure. Hopefully Romine continues to produce, so no more hole in the lineup.

Well yeah, Torres or Frazier for Hamels would be lunacy. Absolutely no way that's happening.

If he's "cheap," it's not the worst move - but again, if you look under the hood there, there's a few red flags.

5.14 FIP, 19.8% HR/FB (highest of his career by a good bit), 1.235 WHIP.

I think having the righty hitting Frazier pinch hit for him late might be a bit of a bad sign for Walker. Especially since Walker could've batted right handed there.

If Drury is anywhere near competent playing 1B in AAA then I think Walker's days in the Bronx are numbered.

It's the first time they've lost 3 in a row all year and it's almost July.

I don't think a "nasty team slump" is coming.

It's such a long season. This is going to happen. Yeah, it's annoying because it's the Rays and they fucking suck - but it balances out.

Can't win every single series or expect that 3 losses in a row will never happen over the course of 162 games. It's not realistic no matter how good the team is.
Is Kahnle healthy?  
Matt M. : 6/24/2018 8:43 pm : link
Anyone else in AAA? Shreve has been terrible all season and needs to be sent down.

Kahnle has 3 straight scoreless appearances in SWB (3.2 innings) - I'd call him up and DFA Shreve. Khanle only had one hiccup where he let up 2 runs - that's in in his last 7.2 innings. Seems like he's getting on track.

Yankees Bullpen Last 18 Games (since June 5):

Chasen Shreve: 6.1 IP, 5 R, 3 HR

Rest of team: 54 IP, 0 R, 0 HR

Says it all and then some, really.

Ooofa. Yep that's gotta be it for Shreve.

I'd like to see a lefty added to the pen at the deadline if possible. Chapman is really the only other lefty we have back there and obviously he's not going to be coming in before it's closing time or we need to hold serve.

Considering how dominant the pen has been otherwise, it's probably not an absolute necessity - but if there's a good match somewhere, I'd be willing to listen.

SFG has a pair of potential targets if we want to go that route - Tony Watson and Will Smith. Brad Hand is probably going to be too expensive.
Wonder if they'd consider Sheffield for a bullpen role

So apparently  
BigBlueShock : 6/25/2018 10:13 am : link
CC and Cessa are likely to be switched in the order and if that’s the case, CC will pitch Wednesday and Cessa on Friday. Which makes Boone’s decision to go with Shreve instead of Cessa even more mind boggling.
Though the article I read could have it backwards  
BigBlueShock : 6/25/2018 10:17 am : link
Because I thought CC was originally scheduled for Wednesday and was switched to Friday to face Boston, so who the hell knows. All I know is Shreve had no business being in that game
.  
arcarsenal : 6/25/2018 10:20 am : link
I think CC is pitching Friday - Gray had originally been slated to pitch then if I'm not mistaken.

Cessa is going to pitch against the Phillies on Wednesday I believe.

Shreve is out of options and would have to be DFA'd.

I am in favor of that option actually- but I don't think Kahnle should be called up- he needs to build up IP after missing so much time. I would prefer that the Yanks bring up Cody Carroll or Feyereisen. Those two might be part of the Yanks 2019 pen- and it might be a good idea for the Yanks to take a short look now so they can get a feel for what they have and what they can do.
Just get Shreve out of there pronto

A few Cashman quotes on Frazier (from Bruce Beck's Sunday show)  
bceagle05 : 6/25/2018 11:23 am : link
Quote:
The Yankees GM, though, would prefer not to part with Clint Frazier to get another impact piece in the rotation.

“We’re lucky to have him,” Cashman said of Frazier. “He’s getting better. He’s a toolbox that every year since we’ve gotten him he’s exponentially improved.”

Granted, the 24-year-old outfielder could be one of the Bombers’ best trade chips given his potential. He’s blocked from an everyday role in the majors, but he also seems too good to deal for someone like a veteran second-tier starter. It would seemingly have to be a real difference-maker.

“We’d like to hold on to him,” Cashman said while suggesting there could very well be a more significant role for Frazier over time. “I know he’s someone that we’re going to get asked a lot about, and so far we’ve been able to say no and hand-check everything, but I’m a big Clint Frazier fan.

“He was a big piece of that trade of Andrew Miller along with some others and I think he’s got a lot of really good baseball ahead of him. He’s going about his business perfectly right now. He’s impacting us in a positive way and saying all the right things."

I have a lot of respect for the guys who are sticking with it and seeing it through. I just couldn't anymore. Life's too short for that kind of frustration. Couldn't be happier now.
Sanchez DL'd and Frazier sent down

Yup. He could've been the spark to jump start the O again. Seemed to me he did something good every game he got in and would've won the game last night for the Yanks if not for that clown shoes Stadium.

Bullshit stadium and circus like ground rules cost us the game and later Sanchez.
When are we trading Shreve for a jar of cold piss?  
NoGainDayne : 6/25/2018 3:44 pm : link
I feel like Shreve did something to personally offend someone in the Yankees org beyond playing poorly. It's like they want to see him look bad. He keeps messing up in situations that could win or lose us games. At least AJ Cole the poor guy. No one wants to see him do this, other than Bonne / Cashman. Apparently.

djm, you’re better off ignoring that troll brother. He’s a Boston fan that has a man crush on Cora and comes here whenever the Yankees lose to pretend to be a Yankees fan and shit on Boone. He’s a disgrace

At least the All-Star Break covers some of that time frame. Hopefully he'll go into Beast Mode in the second half of the season.
