If he can give us a solid 3 innings, that would be great.
yeah no shit....he and Paxton are garbage right now.
LMAO!
Two years later, Gio Urshela has hit .314/.358/.542 with 24 homers in 141 games as Yankee.
Yanks up 3-0 and Ho hum DJ just got another hit. Two already today.
This inning after Gardy puts them up 3-0, mhe walks the lead off guy on 4 pitches and gives up a bomb to Harper and gives it right back.
I can take the Harper HR but the lead off 4 pitch walk, not so much.
Now the tying run on four pitches!
Already walked six and there's only 1 out in the third.
That's what they keep saying on YES but it looked more like the guy tripped over Fords ankle after kicking him there.
No way did Ford have his foot in the middle of the bag like they said. It was on the furthest from home field side corner of the bag. Looked more like a misstep on the runner to me trying hard to beat the throw as he hit pretty far up the bag as opposed to the part closest to home.

You've got better eyes than me. That's good to hear. Glad he should be ok. I like the Ford/Voit tandem.

Right there with ya on the tandem. In a normal season I think Voit would get the majority of playing time but with so many games so close together now, I think that'll work in Ford's favor.
I really like his bat and having it come off the bench late if needed too. He's an excellent pinch hitter.
As for the eyes, I did have to rewind the DVR a couple of times to be sure.
Yeah Arc, I agree with you there. The box looks a lot worse than what actually happens and his fielders didn't give him much help either in that inning.
I put this game on Happ and thought Nelson even with his bad line, pitched better than the veteran Happ. Staked to a three run lead and coughs it up in a blink. Six walks over three? WTF?

I should be fair to Nelson - that entire inning was basically FC's, infield hits and bloops. The box will make it look like he was a lot worse than he really was.

I was really hoping something like the 2018 Happ would re-emerge without the rocketball from last year. Even if that was ambitious, I was willing to settle for his career norms.
He's just been pure trash. Can't keep sending him out every 5th day if he's going to get tattooed like this.
Gotta love the fight in this team. Even down big they just battle and don't give away at bats.
Angel fucking Hernandez folks. How this guy still has a job is beyond me. Now he's even a crew chief.
