Tarpley was optioned back to Scranton - Holder is back up.
We'll see if he's figured it out down there. He was okay in his 7 appearances. Still giving up some runs. Only 3 of those 7 appearances were scoreless (the other 4 he allowed 1 run)
Tarp will probably be back up sooner than later. Probably just shuttling him for the extra arm since he went 3 on Friday and may still need a day or two. Roster expansion isn't far away, either.
Have to admit Tauchman has been playing better than I thought he would. His defense has been very good, now his hitting is stepping up. Maybin not far from playing, either.
Now slap the crap out of these guys and send a message.

Tauchman is definitely making a strong case for himself. His type of role isn't easy yet he's performing well practically every time he's in the lineup. It seems like one of those years where every role player is coming through and the team doesn't miss a beat.
I have no idea how they're going to work Maybin in and I'm sure they will but I think barring injury, Frazier won't see the big leagues again this year.
keep the defense hold Frazier in the minors until a deal presents itself. If not, he will be here next year when gardy is gone. Or trade him next year.
Tauchman is forcing the Yanks to make a pretty tough decision when Maybin is healthy. He's been fantastic in the field and he's hitting now too.
Tauchman has started 7 games in July and appeared in 8. This is his triple slash:
.474/.565/.895/1.460
Now, this is is only about 20 AB's - but the guy has hits in nearly half of them. Paired with him being able to play all 3 OF spots and the fact that he's been playing them well - it's gonna be tough to send him down.
But he has options and we don't have that same freedom with Maybin right now.
I think we're just going to balance this for a bit until the rosters expand. I don't think we'll sacrifice Maybin just to have Tauchman up here an extra few weeks in August.
It becomes an easier decision if Gardy needs a quick 10 day IL stint - but we're not there yet and hopefully he won't need that.
And I agree on Frazier - he's not going to see the majors again this year unless it's with another club.
Which, to me, would be the right call. He seems to be improving a little defensively. Let him get his stock back up a little bit and get into a groove down there. If we wind up needing to use him to improve the pitching staff - so be it. If not, let him battle for a roster spot next spring.
we are going to find out some things about our team in this series.
Twins are 13-16 in their last 29 games. Not to mention we seem to always have their #. Not sure they are some big litmus test. Astros seem to be the only team in the AL that is a litmus test team for the Yanks now IMO.

I'm with you there.
I'm ok with including him in a trade but only for a top of the rotation type pitcher. Anything less and I say hold onto him for next season or see if there's a good trade this offseason.
In Cash we trust and he's been rolling seven's this year so I'm sure whatever he does will work out in the Yanks favor.
he has options and Maybin doesn't. Discussion really ends there. Not to mention, people have short memories. When Maybin went down he was playing better than even Tauchman has played in his most recent stint up with the Yanks. When Maybin is healthy, he will be back and Tauchman will be sent back down. If Maybin really shits the bed upon his return for an extended period, then maybe you see Tauchman back up and Maybin DFA'ed. But with the extended rosters in September, chances are Maybin will be here through the regular season and Tauchman not back up until September 1st, unless there is an additional OF injury.

My sentiment exactly as well. Has to be the right pitcher. Definitely don't want him a package for stroman. Just something about seeing him 18 games or so a year would be tough.
The Twins were playing way over their heads for a while Â
I don't have a short memory - but Maybin has been in the majors for a long time now, and the production here in the SSS doesn't match his career numbers. He's a career sub-.700 OPS guy. It's not reasonable to expect him to continue to just seamlessly jump back into the lineup and continue hitting .314 and slugging .500.
I expect them to balance things as not to lose Maybin - meaning, Tauchman will be the guy to go when he's ready and then he'll get back up when rosters expand. I said that before.
But, Tauchman has been contributing quite a bit this month and every time he's getting the call, he's producing. It's probably not batshit to think that Maybin could return and struggle or be a downgrade from what Tauchman has been lately.
It's always tough to send a guy down when he's playing so well. Obviously they won't really have a choice.
I don't know if it's that NYY have beaten the twins 22 of the last 30 times or what, but the Twins just don't scare me and don't worry me.
They're not even playing particularly well right now.
It's definitely going to be the Astros that the Yankees have to be better than to get to the World Series. I think the Yankees are clearly better than every other AL team as it stands now.
RE: The Twins were playing way over their heads for a while Â
I wouldn’t start him under any circumstance. He’d get absolutely destroyed.
I don't think that's necessarily true. It'll depend on the opponent, park, lineup, etc. I'd also definitely have someone ready to piggyback him - but it's not out of the question that he'd see a postseason start depending on the state of the rotation at the time and who is acquired at the deadline.
There's a chance German isn't going to make it too far because he's gonna have an innings cap. The IL stint actually helped that by allowing him to miss a few starts - but I still think the cap is going to factor in before he ever pitches deep into October.
We have no idea what (if anything) we'll get from Severino.
Happ has been a HR king all year. I'm not sure he's a guy you want starting a postseason game either. I know he got one against Boston - because that was the primary reason we acquired him - but that didn't even work out.
So, you have Tanaka and Paxton... and Paxton right now is looking like anything but a sure thing.
I fully expect that we'll add a starter, but I also think we may need CC in the postseason - and I'm pretty sure he's going to be expecting to get the ball when we get there. This is the end of the road for him. He's going to be ready to empty the tank and he's not going to sit and watch the entire thing from the dugout.
at 405 feet - the replay showed it going over the 411 ft sign and it landed well into the BP?????
Statcast can eat a dick. It seems hyper accurate at times and absoltely wrong at others. Remember the Judge blast in Seattle two years ago? Try the Garcia bomb in Tampa last week.
He might be done after 4 tonight. Unless we’re up 3-0 in an ALCS or World Series, I maintain he cannot be trusted. But at the same time, who really can be in this rotation as currently constructed? Cashman might have to go get another bullpen arm or 2 and try and pitch 8 guys every night in the playoffs.
If Sevi and Betances come back we might be OK without another starter, but it would be nice to add another just to protect against an injury or CC's demise.
Yanks are probably going to come back and win tonight Â
There's no possible way for us to know whether he'll be able to help us and to what degree in under 10 days - and that's all we have. Hard deadline this year - we can't acquire more help post 7/31.
I think a package for Bumgarner and Will Smith makes a lot of sense. But first, the Giants would need to deem themselves sellers - and they're like 14-3 this month so they may opt against selling.
I like Stroman, but I think I'd trust Bumgarner a lot more - and if we're going to trade Frazier, I'd rather send him to an NL team like SF than send him to a team in the ALE.
Seems like after every pitch they're blasting something. That would drive me crazy if I was in the park.
Plus what's the deal with the NY NY theme after every Yankee strikeout? Pretty lame, and seems like a bit of a dis imo.
Yeah, heard the NY NY thing. It is lame. So don't strike out.
Haha, good point. Seems like that would work against the Twins so while lame, maybe it'll fuel the Bombers.
This team just keeps coming. 7-6 now. We need Cessa to hold the Twins down again and it just feels like the Yanks are gonna put up a crooked number before this one is done.
Tauchman is literally hitting about .500 this month and has an OPS around 1.500.
I know he's the only outfielder on the active roster that we can send to Scranton in order to activate Maybin... but the guy is crushing it right now and playing great baseball. That's a tough demotion.
are getting career years from Maybin, Urshela, Tauchman because of their video based batting coaching and great prep work for the hitters on what to expect and the tendencies of the opposing pitchers.
I don't think its just random good years. I think they look for every edge
ball in the dirt all night and he throws an 0-2 pitch down the middle. Bad pitch call by Gary, too.
I'm not blaming Gary for a pitch that was supposed to be down and away and ended up middle-middle. Cessa makes mistakes with location ALL THE TIME. That's why he's JAG, when he has better stuff than that.
how is it that Luis Cessa still has a spot in this bullpen Â

Calling the slider. Should have been a FB outside and low. I did not like a slider there.
That and $2.79 gets me a Tall at Starbucks...........
RE: RE: how is it that Luis Cessa still has a spot in this bullpen Â
on this friggin team? What’s the point of having a guy like that?
If he gives up 1 run over three innings, we'd be pretty damn happy.
it’s true, but he narrowly dodged a 3-run Schoop homer, as well. I’ve just got no faith anytime he’s in, and I can’t believe that they can’t do better.

Just a long strike. Happens a lot. Only matters if it is fair.
I have very little faith in CC and Happ, and Paxton ain't much better.
Is such an easy out right now and the last month has looked like the hitter we saw all of last year. Hopefully, he will hit his way out of this but I don't understand batting him in the middle of the lineup every game. DJ and Judge are constantly getting on and Sanchez is killing rallies. Is there something in the rules that says that Boone can't drop him in the lineup? Switching Gleyber with Sanchez until Sanchez snaps out of this slump has to be considered.

First three batters in line-up for Yanks -- LeMahieu, Judge and Encarnacion -- had 15 at bats and reached base 11 times. The next two batters --Sanchez and Hicks -- had 10 at bats and NEVER reached base!
That's a way to lose a game right there! Throw in a second lousy start (Sabathia) in a row against a good team and losing is practically a slam dunk!
at the old ballyard, CC not good, El Gary even worse.
What a funk he is in (10-80), now affecting his defense...
3 catcher's interference calls in the last week or so.
He is up to 13 errors by the way, just saying.
Time to move him down in the order, let Voit move up.
He had a nice swing to the opposite field last night.
Hopefully they get a win with German going tonight.
Wont win shit unless they get a prime time starter in the next week which seems unlikely. Sorry but we are not beating Houston putting Paxton and CC out there to throw batting practice. I don’t trust happ either against that line up. Last night CC faces a playoff team and gets pounded. Yankees are having a great year but there still cause for concern with this rotation and I do not see Scherzer or Bumgardner walking in the door anytime soon.

Yep
How that is a strike, I will never know.
Drew the walk anyway on Ball 5...
I'd like to see just as many strikes called balls and see what the pitchers do.
Unreal.
2-0

There is at least two horses walking around a little light tonight.
2-2
That thumb must still be bothering him.
That thumb must still be bothering him.
When he presses he chases and yanks everything. He is in that particular mode at the moment.
CC in trouble with Cruz up and the bases juiced. Catchers interference...
3-2
That is the brilliant statement of the night..So I guess the batter's box is a mere suggestion?
Quote:
Cruz shouldn't be allowed to sit that far back in the box. He was almost on his lap.
That is the brilliant statement of the night..So I guess the batter's box is a mere suggestion?
If it wasn't a suggestion only, someone stop hitters from rubbing it out in each direction by the second inning.
nice D by DJ to steal a hit. Run still gets in the fielders choice.
4-2
5-2
CC is going to need a hook before the 5th tonight.
Lead off walks seem to kill you every time. The dinks were almost predictable after that.
3 runs on pure garbage.
Let's f'ing go!
Yup. I wonder how if we can see how obvious that is why doesn't he? Or maybe he does but just figures one of these pitches has to be a FB.
Statcast can eat a dick. It seems hyper accurate at times and absoltely wrong at others. Remember the Judge blast in Seattle two years ago? Try the Garcia bomb in Tampa last week.
Has to be his worst game this year, although that 3rd inning was just dogshit bad luck.
They can't blow up the pen on game one of this road trip. CC has to nut up, not let it get out of hand and at least get them through five.
Quote:
please get CC out of here. He is only going to get bombed.

Agreed that is what he should do but i'm not sure we can let him get bombed.
7-3 after the homer by Garver.
Agree 100%

I'm not giving up on this game but I don't want this one to cost us the next one too.
If we can inch back this inning great, if not he goes back out for the fifth and we cross our fingers it doesn't get worse.
2 more BP arms (Betances and...)
Stanton to get healthy
Sanchez to stop swinging at everything
MVP baby.
If Sevi and Betances come back we might be OK without another starter, but it would be nice to add another just to protect against an injury or CC's demise.
