Aaron Boone said the Yankees got pretty good news on Jordan Montgomerys MRI, which showed inflammation. He wont throw for two weeks. Boone said well see if Montgomery is still able to pitch this year.

He's made a couple of starts recently - both were very solid. That said - the competition wasn't exactly top-notch (BAL/TOR)

He'll probably be a pain in the ass.

I'm not part of the idiotic anti-Stanton crowd, but he aint helping his cause with awful AB's like that. Drives me crazy when guys don't swing at FB's in the dead center of the plate.

Same here and I'm gonna chalk that AB up to rust and getting comfortable again but it really was an awful AB. He can't have many more like that or he's really going to start hearing it.

If he can't give them another 2-3 innings, I think they'd probably get Hale up.

As Paul said, EE has a great eye and a great compact swing. DJ is a revelation to see every day. Urshela showing us what good 3rd base play looks like. Voit has put in the work to be a better all around player. Sanchez putting in a year that keeps promise with the flashes we saw his first year plus better defense and pitch calling.

And the analytics department/Boone has managed the bullpen very well...putting Torre to shame and exceeding Girardi.

Lots of subtle improvements and professionalism to admire this year

Can't make this sh** up lol. All the complaints about too many homers and he has a double, a single, and an infield single.
Single!

Beating out infield grounders.

Maury Wills and Rod Carew were two guys who did that. By the end of the year they had ten more singles just off of dribblers no one could field plus errant throws

he is a professional. One of the reasons he is considered a good teammate (both with the Marlins and here).

For a star he certainly is not a prima donna

worst job this year. This guy was on fumes getting out of the 8th. Hale's had about 4 guys way down in the count and could not put them away.
I understand saving the pen, but that was just ludicuis.

Fats he was out of gas. It was obvious as hell. Yeah nice to get by if you can, but after Hale couldn't get an out with several 2 strike counts with 2 outs, he should have been pulled. You cannot allow a team like the Astros to hang around. He had some cushion, yes but you not only subject the pitcher to excess pitches, but Sanchez too.

Same here. He's putting trust in guys like Cortes and Hale and, big picture, it's been paying off.

Yanks making a smart move to option Cortes instead of DFA'ing Maybin too. Rewarding good play. Oh - and Frazier hit a monster HR for the Railriders tonight. All of a sudden we've gone from not enough outfielders to 6 good ones. Good to see Stanton get 3 hits as well.

Not me. Girardi IMO really knew how to use his pen well.

I don't want any manager leaving a pitcher in one batter too long. That could prove to be disastrous. Why wouldn't you want a manager getting a guy out of the game before its possibly too late?

Seems to me a manager is on top of what's going on when he doesn't let a reliever go one pitch or batter too long.

Now, having said all that I had no problem with Boone leaving Hale in last night like he did. A seven run lead isn't the situation I'm talking about with my above comments, it's the close game that can change with one swing.
Because the Yankees aren't hitting enough home runs...  
M.S. : 6/21/2019 6:53 am : link

...here comes Aaron Judge.
good time at the game last night  
mfsd : 6/21/2019 7:10 am : link
we fortunately had seats just under the 2nd deck overhang, so stayed dry when the rain hit...a couple random musings...

- Great fun seeing the Yanks hit like that...Stros starter sliced through our bats 1st time through, then boom

- Yanks defense was on display...outfield range, and smooth work around the infield. That's an area that's been a real upgrade over last year...LeMahieu makes a big difference wherever he's playing

- Fired up to hear they're sticking with Maybin...he brings a lot to the roster, including a better than expected stick. Gives Boone a lot of flexibility for rest days and more potential injuries in the 2nd half.

- I expect they'll be going with the Scranton shuttle to swap out fresh long relievers, at least until they can figure out a 5th starter. Solid work by Cortes following Green last night, he'll be back

- Split a little early to beat crowd to the 4 train, so didn't see Hale lose it late, but on balance Boone's done a fine job with the pen this year. Sure, second guessing leaving Hale in too long is fair after last night, but turning it into a Boone's stupid and sucks at managing the bullpen narrative is silly

Overall, Yanks are ripping. This lineup will be getting in the head of opposing pitchers...zero breaks 1-9 when at full strength
Great news that Maybin is  
section125 : 6/21/2019 7:41 am : link
staying. I think O'Neill thought they would, seeing as how both Judge and Stanton are fresh off the IL and this allows additional time off for both.
German should be coming off IL  
section125 : 6/21/2019 7:58 am : link
soon. Who goes when he is ready? Holder has options. Only other pitcher is Cessa who has no options.

Kyle in NY : 6/21/2019 9:39 am : link
Thrilled to see Maybin stick. Beyond his very good performance, he seems to be really well liked by his teammates and Boone spoke to how positive he's been in the clubhouse. Maybin also spoke to the changes the hitting coaches have made with him to work on getting the ball in the air more and utilizing his strength and athletic ability. He's earned his spot

Overall that's something that's struck me watching this group, just seems to be a very close team having a ton of fun right now. A very strong clubouse right now. Encarnacion seems like he fits right in already too.

And now the Judge returns, look out!
I have to think..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/21/2019 9:40 am : link
the Yanks are really mulling over a Gardner vs. Maybin decision if the time comes to make a roster move for a position player.
there is no way in hell they are going to dump Gardner

Too bad that hasn't translated into a good major league pitcher. He's been around long enough to have figured it out by now, and hasn't done it. I don't think you could even get a PTBNL for him, maybe a little cash.

Greg from LI : 6/21/2019 11:03 am : link
He's a one pitch pitcher whose success is entirely dependent on his fastball. You can't go through a lineup multiple times that way.
the background on that  
Greg from LI : 6/21/2019 11:05 am : link
Green as a starter in 2016: 8 starts, 2-4, 5.94, 12(!) homers in 36.1 innings.

arcarsenal : 6/21/2019 11:38 am : link
I'd try to see if Cessa can get us cash or some low level PTBNL. There are a lot of really awful bullpens out there right now - someone might bite.

If not, I'm not opposed to just going the DFA route. Someone claims him, so be it. I think I like Hale more for that role going forward. Cortes looks like he's emerging as a guy who can also pitch several relief innings - he seems to be thriving as Greenie's piggyback in BP games.

So, while Nestor will be the casualty right now for Judge - he's going to be back sooner than later. We're going to have to do a little roster crunching, though.

Morales will also likely be gone once he's healthy.

I can't wait to see this lineup tonight with 99 in it.

The Death Star will be complete (offensively, at least..)
