Against a tough lefty at that. O/U on strikeouts @ 3.

It’s also interesting they have swapped Stanton and Judge in the order. Wonder what the reasoning is there?

Not sure. Guess that it's just a day off given that he has played every game so far.

But a bit funny they didn't wait for a righty pitcher to do it.

I don't really understand the dynamics of bringing a guy up, sending one down. Why is Bruce seemingly guaranteed a roster spot despite being a festering sore?

Probably to give him a reset, he has been slumping as of late.

selection too. That 3-2 with the slider in the dirt to load the bases was just stupid and the lazy curve to Palacios was putrid also....
If Sanchez called those pitches he needs to get back on the bench.

Some rookie they brought up today.

Why would you put the rookie behind the plate if he is there for one day?
Thanks Jim... Not a great game but I'm addicted to Yankee baseball.

Thanks again.
Not a good night  
section125 : 4/13/2021 8:33 pm : link
for Taillon nor Gary. If the ump is giving 4 to 6 inches outside, why throw it near the plate. Force the ump to call it.

Taillon probably still has rust for all the time off and the change of pitching form he now uses.

And ups to the Big Electron did wonders fellas. My mom just got out of her 5+ hour vascular surgery and is in recovery. Hope to see her this weekend. She's a tough 81 year old Sicilian broad for sure. Some positive news on the midst of this wet fart of a game.

Great news. Glad you let us know. Hope she is out of the hospital in short order.

I think it’s time to move on from Cashman.  
The_Boss : 4/13/2021 9:13 pm : link
This roster composition stinks. It isn’t conducive for championships. Too many swing and miss guys over reliant on the HR. Tallion looks like yet another starting pitcher project destined to fail miserably in NY like Weaver, Nathan Eovaldi, Sonny Gray, Javier Vazquez and the legendary Carl Pavano. And speaking of the starters, other than Cole, is there anyone else they trot out there on a nightly basis you feel confident about giving you quality and length? I’m sure they’ll out slug teams through the summer but it’s a deferent animal in October. Cole can’t pitch every game and counting on homers as your primary source of offense is folly.
Cashman has done an 180 on players before, let’s hope he does that  
Jim in Hoboken : 4/13/2021 9:26 pm : link
with this team. Personally I would rather have someone else at the helm, but most GM’s aren’t very good either, plus I don’t think Hal has the guts to move on from Cashman.

My problem is this team is hard to watch, I don’t even care about their record right now, as it’s still early. As much as I don’t like the roster, I also feel that a lot of the personnel people and coaching staff haven’t been doing a good job. Then again, Cashman has been here forever and these are all his people.

Like I said, one WS win since 2009 isn’t really acceptable. And it looks like the trajectory of this current team is still uncertain at this point. Cashman has to answer for how it got to this present state from 2017.
Need to get back to culture, defense and clutch/contact hitting IMO  
adamg : 4/13/2021 9:34 pm : link
Didi should have been re-signed. Torres shouldn't be playing short.

Sanchez needs to be dealt in a package for either a good shortstop or a top of the rotation starter. I was really hoping the catcher from KC was going to shake loose, but they were smart and extended him. Looks like he's tenured there. But we need a guy like that behind the plate. Sanchez is no Posada. We need at least a (Jose) Molina type. And it seems like Higgy could handle being the everyday guy for a year and see if his power is all illusion.

We have some building blocks (Judge, DJ, Urshela, Hicks, Voit, Torres, Frazier). I know people hate Stanton, but I think he's perfect as a DH. I think Judge is a culture guy who we should pay.

They're not far off, but it just seems like Cashman has no feel for the human element of the game. Too much stats.

I really can't believe Jay Bruce and Rougned Odor were Cashman solutions. Just because you can't spend money doesn't mean we need these fucking shitholes. Rather see our kids get chances. But they trade away Estrada... ugh
Cashman needs to be let go...  
GFAN52 : 4/13/2021 9:43 pm : link
The Yankees 3-6 hitters:
AVG .143
OBP .241
SLG .208
OPS .449
All those stats are last in MLB but the Yankees do lead the MLB.

Pathetic!

with Sanchez? I mean, at the very least give him a shot somewhere else and get a couple cases of semi-expired Sabrett's.

I like this Abreu kid though. He's got some stuff to work with.
Remember when the Yankees blamed Sanchez's

Dave in PA : 4/13/2021 10:04 pm : link
Gary broke for second and he saw Stanton momentarily hit the breaks before he continued on to third so Gary had to try to go back to first because he thought Sy ton was staying put. Tough break
