Still trotting out Joey Gallo

Alvarez and Cruz are out. We should win handily.

Know some in the media and on here think the Astros are better than the Yankees. I just looked at the competition of both teams. Based on today’s standings, the Astros are 14-9 against teams over 500. The Yankees are 24-11 against teams over 500. They have a very easy schedule. Their division sucks. Yes they are very good. However, they haven’t been challenged much this season.
I will once again compare Gallo to a past Yankee great

Gallo now to me is like back in the day when you had a good to really good defensive shortstop who couldn’t hit his weight. He played for his D and any O you got was a bonus. Mark Belanger for the O’s for example.

Gallo gives them a really good defensive outfielder and batting him 9th like the old shortstops is good enough for now. If his D slips he better be riding pine.

Corner outfield (and primarily left, though he has played a fair bit of right this year) is definitely where you look to have glove only guys.
Good start - K'ing

Altuve looking. I thought he had him two pitches earlier..no K Zone showing tonight.

Manfred has come out and said 2024 we get robo umps. Technology is too available for anyone to ignore how hard this job is. I didn't want robo umps but it simply has to be added in at this point.

I like the sentiment but that isn't what we are seeing. Joey just hasn't been the player he was before coming over. It happens. Time to move on.

Yeah, when you throw 98, you challenge the batter. But he should have thrown a change to Tucker on the pitch he walked him on.
Did not like the pitch selection with Tucker.

You don’t walk the guy with a sub 600 OPS before either of those guys come to the plate.

Until that pitch Garcia was baffling them. Nice to see Rizzo put one out of there.
Astros are scary good  
RasputinPrime : 6/30/2022 8:07 pm : link
Verlander, Garcia, Valdez, Urquidy, Javier, and Mccullers.

Add that to a crazy offense and we have a bar set for how much we need to improve.

Let's start with figuring out who should be flanking Judge.

I think the Astros are saying the same thing about the Yankees.

As the Ump shits the bed on two off the plate strike calls...robots cannot get there soon enough.

Stros are very good. Their SPs and hitting seems more reliable than ours, but they are right to worry right through the last out.

I think the Yanks SPs still have the lowest ERA in baseball. Both teams are pretty damn good. Stros batting order is a bit better, I will grant you that.

With the Yankees it never is. Like to see our best hitting trio do something in the 8th, though.

but he still isn’t hitting well enough to not consider pinch hitting for with a LHH.
