NFT: Yankees at Rays GDT 8/8 Doubleheader 2:10PM

.

It was interesting to see that outside the AL Central there are only 2 teams with winning records (Yankees and Athletics). The Central has 4 of 5 teams with winning records (Twins, White Sox, Tigers, and Indians).

Glasnow will only go 4 innings but he’ll have 10 strikeouts, Sanchez twice...

I don't know if he's stretched out or if they'll use him like they did Snell last night, but with Cole going for the Yanks, I'm thinking we won't see much offense in this game.

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.

the line up is OK. We miss Miggy

right oblique strain

So, who's our #2 catcher now?

Prior to today’s games, the Yankees:
· 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.

Should be a pitcher's duel.

if you had the under you win.

have given away more top tier talent in the last 10 years than any professional sports club in memory.

Glasnow, Meadows for Archer
Cole for Musgrove/Moran/Feliz

Meanwhile, the Rays are really shrewd.

throwing some cheeeeese

A true Ace who's just great to watch work and can shut any team down. Been a while since we've had that.

has a Lincecum-violent windup but he sure has some filth.

.

and the bottom of his foot....ouch

for Sanchez..........

but boy does he hit the ball hard!

.

been saying for 2 yeara sanchez is a bum. Hot so much shit for it on BBI.

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.

.

Experiment end?

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.

He needs to get his head out of his ass and realize the game situation.

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

just said the Yankees have scored 1 run in the last 34 innings against the Rays, with that 1 run being a solo homer. That stat is astounding.

to the moon!

2-0

AB by ford.

Takes two high pitches and sits on a fastball and drives it.

Take notes sanchez

Ford puts us up 2-0.

.

double

I believe.

4-0

love Gio!

Excellent inning.

And compare it at the end of the season

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.

what?

Fuck Coal

pitches with Cole and then Green.

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.

keep him in

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.
