Would love a strong Tanaka outing  
UConn4523 : 7/15/2018 11:38 am : link
heading into the break against a very good Cleveland team. I wonder how much is riding on this game in regards to free agency.
Is it just me  
Eman11 : 7/15/2018 11:39 am : link
Or has Wade earned the playing time over Walker? I'd get it if they were facing a lefty but that's not the case today.

Anyone else thinking the same?

Agreed but Wade's bat seems to be heating up, plus he brings a speed element to the game.

Just watching them both lately, Wade seems like he's playing better and earned more playing time to me.

Better fielder, much better on the base paths...the Walker fixation is agitating to say the least.
Wade should play  
UConn4523 : 7/15/2018 11:51 am : link
younger, hungrier, more versatile and more speed.
this would be a real nice one to gert  
Stu11 : 7/15/2018 11:52 am : link
gonna be real tough though as Bauer has bee superb.
On the injury front Sanchez playing a rehab game today hopefully comes back right after the break.
Torres is going to the allstar game and will do rehab activities there but will head to Tampa after that and probably meet the Yanks when they play in Tampa starting the Monday after the AS break, so he'll miss the Mets series.

Other than the Bauer part, that's all good news. I'm just glad neither is out longer or had any setbacks.
We tend to struggle scoring  
dune69 : 7/15/2018 12:33 pm : link
against Bauer. Hopefully we jump on him early and make him throw lots of pitches.

Sure will be good to see Sanchez and Torres penciled back into the lineup.
Much respect for Bauer, as a pitcher

I'm ure its hapened multiple times. The last time I can remember for sure was the '93 AL West- Braves and Giants.
Plus back then there was no WC

so the Giants went home no post season at all.

The fixation on walker stems from his career production. Yanks are expecting walker to hit to his career norm.

Yes, but I don't believe there's ever been three teams in the same league all win 100, and we could have four this year. ( Astros, Mariners,Sox and Yanks) Unlikely but at this pace certainly possible.
on a less meanngful note  
Stu11 : 7/15/2018 1:01 pm : link
I really think they should have had Betances replace Chappy when he pulled out. You're hard pressed to find a relief pitcher in baseball who's pitched better than hom the past 6 or 7 weeks.
Walker has hit in 4 of his last five games  
adamg : 7/15/2018 1:02 pm : link
Hopefully he's getting hot.

No doubt that's what it is but at what point do you just look at who's playing better now and play that guy? How long is the leash and waiting time for that play to career production become too long?

Usually in sports when there's depth that brings competition for playing time, it's put up or sit down. It just seems to me Wade has been putting up lately and I thought we'd be seeing him play more than Walker.

True and I hope you're right but Wade has hit as well. Including a three hit game and a HR in there.

section125 : 7/15/2018 1:28 pm : link
meatball he was doomed. He doesn't do well 0-2, not that many people do.

Good news short of runs was all the pitches that Bauer threw.

Well surprise me. Hicks good hitting. Bauer throws too many change ups and Hicks was looking for it....
And Bird misses

Yeah I was surprised by that at first too but once I saw he had to hold for a second and make sure it got through, not trying to score made sense.

Jays have tied the Sox at 2 going to the 4th.

Def curve. Loopy 12-6er. Was a little higher than the glove he had to throw to.
