Glasnow will only go 4 innings but he’ll have 10 strikeouts, Sanchez twice...
Hopefully someone from the Yanks connects on a long ball because if he's on, Glasnow will be tough to string some hits together.
I like getting some lefties in there, and Ford getting the opportunity in the 3-hole. I'd love to see him produce and force more playing time like Tauchman has.
So, who's our #2 catcher now?
· Placed C Kyle Higashioka on the 10-day IL with a right oblique strain (retro to 8/6).
· Recalled INF Thairo Estrada (#71) from the Alternate Site.
· Signed C Erik Kratz (#38) to a Major League contract and selected him to the active roster.
Glasnow, Meadows for Archer
Cole for Musgrove/Moran/Feliz
Meanwhile, the Rays are really shrewd.
Yea hows that sub 91 avg looking lol dont worry though, at least his defense is good.
The guy is a fucking lazy bum. He hits homers off trash pitching. Bases loaded again for.him and he Ks...this time a ball way out of the zone.

Agree. At least put the ball in play
They should have traded him before last season, he had value. His defense wis what it is. His laziness was never gping away.
Now he has littl3 value.
Last night a lazy backhanded attempt behind the plate that gets by him and puts the eventual winning run at 3rd. Now today swings at a pitch way up to strike out when a walk there could decide this game.
It wasn't like that pitch was up and close, it was shoulder height at best and nowhere near a high strike.

He sucks
Behind the plate he is lazy and gets lax
At the plate he has no approach or discipline. He just fucking hacks away trying to pull everything and hit moon shots
He isnt a winning player and ive said it for 2 years....give me romine all day
2-0
Takes two high pitches and sits on a fastball and drives it.
Take notes sanchez
I believe.
4-0
It's not giving up on him - it is that there is so much love for him that turns very quickly when he struggles like this.
Everyone turning on him now should reach out to his agent and offer up a warm reach-around.
I gave up on gary over a year ago.
No way yanks should pay him
I wish they coulda traded him
what?
Gary missing Cole's change up on Choi blew a K for Cole and 3 runs. The pitch was a strike but Gary missing it caused Wendelstadt to call it a ball.

I've usually been right there with Greg defending Gary but I'm about done. Gio just bailed him out not locating a pop up. We should have dealt him when we had the chance. I get his power is tantalizing, but his command of the strike zone is non existant and the boom or bust is enough already. He also just will never be a good receiver. I know this coach has a good track record with framing, so we'll play ouit the year and see what happens but I'm really about done. a 450 ft blast once in awhile doesn't make up for weeks of flailing.

Yea greg defends him to death.
There isnt much to defend anymore.
Sanchez - IDK what is going on but he has not hit in a year. I said it the other night, I am beginning to miss Romine. And he still makes far to many errors on balls in the dirt. Maybe the fielding changes are just screwing him up.
Tauchman, like Urshela, just seems to come up big. Despite he total eff up that likely cost them the game last night, he needs to be in there everyday - or as much as possible.
Yankees need to lock up LeMahieu sometime this year. He is scary good.
Anyway. Good win Rays are a good, hard nosed team with an excellent manager.

Bases loaded..

YES is using the TB feed as well.
Yep. Maybe I'm wrong, but strictly from a feeling standpoint and without looking at the stats, it feels like it's been that way for awhile, at least to me. If the numbers don't bare that out, then so be it. Still feels that way.

For the Yankees, I'd bet that is true. Looking to miss bats and not pitching to contact.

It's frustrating to watch, but it's hard to argue our success.
yep

same crap with walks and getting behind in counts.

All nibblers. Billy Martin couldn’t stand them.
It's not crazy since we're looking to replace the DH and not a field player

Righty bat off the bench would be useful and Andujar didn't earn the call back.

Plus, he can get consistent at bats and hopefully find his groove.
Huh? And Farzier has?
Andujar earned his spot on the roster over Frazier and was sent down due to the cuts. Give him ab's for a week or so like he'd get at DH in Stanton's place and if his bat doesn't come around by then, give Frazier his chance then. Definitely not before or instead of Miggy who deserves first crack IMO.

Frazier had a better spring training, so I'd call it GM discretion rather than Andujar earning the spot.
Andujar has been given 14 ABs in the regular season and produced 1 infield single, a weak one at that.
His swing doesn't look good. Too loopy and he chases. He can work on it in Scranton.
The option rules might prevent Andujar from being called right back anyway, although I wouldn't presume to speak definitively on that.

Andujar is a better player and I think the Yanks feel that way too but you're certainly entitled to feel differently.
Yes, he's struggled at the plate so far but I think that was to be expected coming off the injury. He just needs more ab's to get it back and he wasn't going to get them as the roster was currently. Plug him in as the everyday DH for now and he'll get his ab's.
I don't feel getting sent down puts him behind Frazier because he was already ahead of him on the roster and he should be the next man up. As for being called right back up, I believe he can be because there was an injury and not just an up and down shuttle type of thing.
Players can be recalled without any minimum time down if it's to replace a guy being put on the IL.
I am wondering if Boone is just grooming the team for the playoffs knowing that they will be in. Seems he is leaving his pitchers in the game to the point of failure to stretch them out and build up arm strength.
It is also sad that I thought Kratz played better than Gary....
Yep.
But the obvious move would be for Frazier's bat. This leaves a weakness from the right side, with no one to pinch hit for Ford, Tauchman, Gardner against a lefty.
And Hicks does not slash as well from the right side.
Cashman playing his games. He doesn't want Clint to create a roster controversy, so he's hoping to string things along until Stanton can come back.
