Nice call.

I was looking at all that room toward the 2B hole and just wanted him to punch it there....
He watched that ball all the way to the bat. If you see a replay, watch his eyes.

that high-90s fastball was going to end up almost a foot inside. In fact I'm amazed that he even put the ball in play. It was a terrible pitch in terms of it being nowhere close to being a strike

Another Comeback!! Wow

Thats a superb job taking him out to the woodshed. Maybin needs to stick even when Stanton comes back. He's the perfect 4th/5th OF. Let Frazier get regular Ab's at Scranton. That was a clutch hit and great base running.

Not bad for a "part time DH"

Romine would have hit it further.

Duh!

Must feel like a total asshole. Missing that pop-up extended the inning and Gary makes him pay. I just knew something was going to happen when he let the ball drop.

Cashner is no slouch either.

No reason to diss on Romine. Diss on the posters. Romine is a decent to good backup.

Ugh. Got the game over grounder. But... now we'll need to get 2 more outs.

Definitely not winning a GG anytime soon.

That’s exactly what arc and I were doing. I’m not sure where you got that we were dissing Romine.

for calling that time out. Chapman already into his motion.

Great win.

Happ needs to get better

Agreed.

Huge huge win tonight. Glad to see our offense with another good game

Ballgame motherfucking over.

Fantastic win. This team never quits.

There is too much shit given to Romine - almost as bad as Gary gets. Just hit me the wrong way. Sorry for the thin skin.

On the other side, damn, that has got to be just completely demoralizing for the O’s.

Oh well! Sucks to suck.

I get it. No ill will at all brethren.

whatever "it" is. They never give up and are never out of a game.

Thanks

They never give up.

They had every reason to pack it in. Emotional exciting series over the weekend, empty ballpark, solid vet in Cashner on the mound, Happ gets shelled down 6-1. Good teams say fuck that and rally.

FWIW, I really like Ro - he's a great backup to have.

I'm just busting the chops of those who were giving up on Sanchez last year - too many bad takes on him.

There are more than 25 teams in this league who would take Gary over their backstop in a second. Batshit that anyone would be that quick to give up on him.

Guy is just fucking mashing this year.

What a rollercoaster ride these first couple months have been with all the injuries, the tough start... the comebacks, the big innings. Fun as hell, though. Still in 1st place. Let's stay there.

sometimes you have to out-hit your pitching.

Happ laid an egg, but the bullpen kept us in it while the offense chipped away.

For a team that has often been maddening with the all or nothing home run/strikeout offense, they're mostly having great ABs across the board lately. Big time tonight

Is an article on the At Bat app right now. Lol.

All the way around.

That was in the 10% hit on good pitches. That was a 98 MPH fastball on the inside corner tailing viciously toward his hands. I have no idea how he even got a hit on that, let alone a HR. It takes special talent to hit that out

21 of their last 28. That’s more than a 120 win pace. With at least a dozen key guys on the IL. Cannot possibly overstate how insane this is

Took shit for the DJ contract, the Gardner contract. Whole world bitched when we passed on harper and machado (Gio with a better OPs than both). Voit for Shreve was a god damn heist. Maybin signing was incredible. Kendrys off the scrap heap making an impact already.

.

are amazing, but better yet, they are really fun to watch!!

Chopperhatch doesn't show up to bitch about him much anymore, huh

12 games over .500

He didn't put the ball in play!

Happless.

But Yanks find a way!

last night with a HR for the Tarpons. Gregorios 2-5 in extended spring training. Didi had three fielding plays, too.

Might see Stanton by next Weekend?

Is it me or does it seem that Didi is way ahead of schedule? They are talking some time in June for him now.

Boy when Didi comes back the infield picture gets clarified and muddled at the same time. I think at first he sees a lot of DH to lessen stress on the elbow. But still - Torres, LeMahieu, Urshela, Gregorios, plus Tulo is taking fielding practice.......

When Stanton gets back, what happens to Morales and/or Maybin. Does Clint go back down or do they release Maybin?

Hate losing any of these contributors.

I think the prediction was more like after the ASB.

Didi comes back, Thairo goes to SWB.

Stanton comes back, Clint goes to SWB.

That's my prediction, anyway. Guys like Maybin have no options, you would lose them and I don't think the Yanks want. Plus, even Clint would benefit from more regular ABs, I think.

These guys are a blast to watch and even on a night their starting pitcher had nothing, they never bailed on the game.

Btw, anyone catch Sterling's call of Gleyber's 2nd homer? If you're one who finds his mistakes add something interesting to listening, then you'll love this one. The guy goes from calling a Torres double a walk off HR the other night to the opposite end of the spectrum last night.

The best case scenario was always around All Star break. The recent articles have indicated that the intent is to give him a full month of ABs to make it similar to spring training- plus with Torres' play, there is no real reason to rush him back before he is ready.

There will be a "dead arm" period in there somewhere- between the TJ and the normal stress you put on your arm when ramping up play after a long stretch off the field- better to have those days in the minors than in NY.

If he gets back in late June, that's about the best case scenario they laid out- and its good because that will be the equivalent of a trade deadline pick up.

I think that he has enough bat that when Didi returns, it might not be a bad idea to put him at 3B. Remember that when he was in the Yanks minors, they played him at 3B, 2B and SS because they were not sure where the opening would be, so this would not be a new thing to Torres.

Imagine an offensive and defensive INF of Torres at 3B, Didi at SS and DJ at 2B.

I think he probably has enough bat to play 3B as well but the guy is young and a big part of their future. I don't think you dick him around by playing him at 3B this year when Didi returns then back to 2B next year. Give him back 2B and make him a fixture there for years. (Unless of course they don't plan on resigning Didi)

I'd much rather have DJ be the guy who moves to 3B and be their utility guy on days he's not playing 3B. He'll get his 5-6 games a week between that and a DH day.

Dosed off during the, then woke up this morning to find I had missed all the exciting action.

This team is magical man. I feel like I’m watching that 90s movie “Angels in the Outfield” in real life.

German tonight!!

I think it will work itself out fine with Andujar gone for the year. DJ will get AB's at 3rd, spell Gleyber once a week at 2b and play 2b when Gleyber moves to SS to give Didi time off there. Not to mention people always get hurt, especially this season. I think Morales and Maybin stick when Stanton gets back, Frazier gets sent down. If everyone is healthy when Judge gets back that when I think Maybin goes. BTW Judge was on the field doing some running/throwing last night before BP. No hitting yet.

DJ LeMahieu has been our most consistent player all year long. I don't EVER want to see him out of this lineup!
