Ynoa vs. Tanaka
I'm still pissed about the Canes-Bruins game so I need the Yanks to win.
No Judge....cause for concern? He did come out of last nights game.

Aaron Judge hurt/not hurt - semantics, I guess - but out of the lineup with “lower body tightness” according to Aaron Boone. He means hips, hamstrings, calves. Could be a couple of days #Yankees
Yeah just come out with it but I'm wondering if it's his call or if it comes from above?
He said he's hoping with the day off today and team off day tomorrow it'll take care of it but when asked if he'll be able to pinch hit tonight Boone said "we'll see". That one I can see being cryptic about as there's no sense letting the Braves know if his bat might be lurking late.
How many guys 6'6 or bigger are ever able to avoid injury over the long haul?
Next time don't have Judge running around on turf. That series in Tampa must have been harder on his lower half than we know.
Hopefully this is precautionary but i'm not holding my breath.
Good thing we have Andujar and Frazier.

I wish Boone would quit lying about this stuff. I know he's trying not to create a stir, but one is created regardless when the guy isn't in the lineup and you have to explain why.

I don't care if they are honest about it. Its a chess match and I don't need to know. I'm fine just sitting on my hands gnashing my teeth.
The word is he is sometimes less than forthright,
I mean I heard his comments after the game,
said he wanted to get him out, because they played on turf in Tampa.
All you have to say Booney, is he is dealing with some
tightness in his lower body, end of story.
OK, was I positive enough.
But, yeah, I would have prefered Tauchman in the field over Frazier or Gardner. Really nice when you can whine over Gardner/Frazier/Tauchman/Andujar....
I hope he's onto something we aren't and they can turn it around but the season is short and Gardy especially can't be stealing at bats from Tauchman primarily but also Andujar and Frazier if he is going to be swinging the bat like he is

Happ may be a whiff, true. Gardy can still field as well as anyone, so he serves a purpose. His bat will likely come alive. He is a slow starter and right now his bat is not catching up to the FB. I expect it will but you never know. I suspect Cash and Boone will watch it.
Not worried about Andujar or Frazier. Right now Andujar looks as lost as Gary and Gleyber.
I'd agree it's not a whiff if neither Frazier or Andujar look like viable major MLB players this year. But that's less true if Gardy doesn't heat up and keeps Tauchman on the bench.
Would definitely love to see Gardy heat up and not ruling it out by any stretch
He should've caught that Markakis ball, and it should've been an error taboot. Cost the Yanks a run.
Was wondering that too. I have the game on, but the volume is low and I'm finishing up work so I didn't really catch why Boone yanked him.
Hopefully it's just that he's building back up after needing to re-set for a couple weeks after getting hit in the noggin.
Has been sensational tonight. Only one more (triple) needed for the cycle!
5-2 good guys
Timely hitting is starting to happen.
Question is how many years/AAV gets it done?
DJ is 32 now. A young 32 - he just turned it about a month ago.
3 years with an option?
5 years would make me a little uneasy, knowing we could definitely be looking at a couple of crappy ones at the end.
I feel like 3 with an option year would be the sweet spot.
Something like 16 per? He's on a 12 per deal now, so he's got to get a raise from there. 16-18 per seems about right.

When he finishes the season over. 400 and we win the world series I have a feeling he will command more than 16mm per. Alot will depend on the MLB-Pandemic financial world.
Guess we will see Ottavino in the 8th.
Such a good hitter.
It sure has looked better. If he can actually harness it, he's a closer.
This time, it's Gio.
Every freaking game one of our guys gets hit.
