Joe Harvey was called back up as the corresponding move for sending Johnny Lasagna back down to Scranton.
Cameron Maybin was acquired by the Yankees today in exchange for cash considerations.
The Yanks have now won 6 straight and 8 of 9.
I know it's draft night, so many of us will be keyed in on our New York Football Giants. In the meantime, let's hope the boys can cap this off before heading to SF for a 3 game set.
Let's go, Yanks!
Since April 10th, Gardy has a .976 OPS.
There was a lot of questioning why we brought him back this year, and ideally, I don't want Gardy in the lineup every single night at this point in his career - but I'm not sure what we'd have done without him to this point. We've really needed him.
But yeah, I mean... Mike Tauchman is in the 5 hole and we're not even out of April yet. It's astounding what has gone on this month.. and yet, the Yanks just keep finding ways to win games and get through.
It'll be a really rewarding year if these guys can keep holding down the fort for a few more weeks. I'm enjoying rooting for the Urshela's Tauchman's and Ford's of the world even though I wish their replacements would get back as soon as humanly possible.
But even in his best years I would have never expected him to be hitting 3.

No doubt, I said the same thing the other night... when Brett is batting 3rd, you know things have taken a very unexpected turn.
What a weird season so far. Our luck has to turn eventually, I would think...
I hope.
These are not your March 29th Yankees, folks.
What a find this guy has been.
Nailed him.
beautiful. Almost washes the Jones out of my crotch.
c’mon, he’s a DH! /s

How long until there’s bitching about them not hitting enough homeruns?

Wade singled, stole 2nd, stole 3rd, and then DJ drove him in with a single.

I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that once those people are satisfied, we will then start to hear all the complaints about how the team lives and dies with the long ball and does nothing but hit HR's and strike out!
Romine isn't good at anything. He's a backup catcher so its hard to bitch about a backup catcher, but I'm not sure why he is basically handed the job every single year. The guy is poor at everything. Sure, Yankees could do worse, but it doesnt seem like they ever even try to do better.
Insane. That's like... 200 RBI pace.
(I know they're not going to pace this way all year, but damn.. what an April for both guys. Bellinger especially. He's been scorching all month)

True. My comment though was more pointed to the moron Yankee fans who think that Romine is better than Sanchez.
4-0.
phuck.
The splitter ain't splittin'...
Still - 3 out of 4 ain't bad. And Mape is on the bump tomorrow night in SF. Hopefully he can continue his stretch of recent dominance.
I'm not saying that the AAA Yankees of the past 10 days would win one either. But give them Judge, Didi, Hicks, Frazier, Severino and Betances back and leave the rest of the guys on IL all year and they're a much better team.
