How is Jasson batting third?!
So much of my feeling about this team (which is now down Rodon in the rotation) really turns on whether Cole sucks tonight or not. If he pitches well, I won’t hate this team.
I am going to hate this team.
volpe prefers to be in the bigs playing short, no one could have seen that coming.

The Yankees owe Volpe bigly. He’s entitled to play anywhere he wants and bat anywhere he wants in the lineup.
Last 7 Rice 080, Bellinger 074, PGold 167, Jazz 150, phenom 167, Wells 000 (last 14 080), Cabby 100.
Boone leaning on the word hopefully in pre game.
Yankee pitchers getting ready for the Home Run Derby.
They’re behind again.
The goal is consistency, right? Can’t get more consistent than the Yankees.
When they pop it up and it makes the seats, it feels like a victory.
How low we have sunk.
Cole, 23 pitches. Sheesh.
I can’t WAIT to see what new records they set for Katie today!
Missed that.
Wow. How did THAT get out? I thought with that awkward swing the outfielder would be coming in to catch it.
Grisham!
Just keep hitting LD’s they’ll find an empty spot.
A HR and three sharply hit baseballs for outs. Then Cole gives up a leadoff double.
Cole has given up a home run, a hard foul ball line drive, and a hard double.
Offense started well. A home run and a couple of line drive outs. The second inning was a different story.
Could be an hour and a half, two hour delay.
Austin Wells: The Needle And The Damage Done.
Trent Grisham the straw that stirs the drink.
Rice with a 2-run bomb.
Lalane last out 7ip 0r 1h 12K 0BB
Tonight 7ip 0r 3h 11K 0BB
I’m surprised they haven’t moved him up to at least High A
With his injury history they’re taking things slow. Maybe after tonight they will move him up.
Why isn’t Wells bunting?
He just did, after the stolen base.
Two tack on runs, wow.
Wells almost had a bunt hit. The good thing about the sac bunt is his BA stays above 150.
Twins are good for what ails ya.
CAUTION! Yankees bullpen at work.
Fernando Cruz makes me sad.
Cruz escapes his own mess.
Fernando flirting with disaster.
Lagrange can’t throw for 6 weeks-shoulder.
Nicely done by Bednar.
Happy Independence Day! Happy semiquincentennial.
Thank goodness Grisham is back!
Can we turn this into a Cabo Verde blog?
lol twins
Argh…they really fucking did it, and sent Jones down. It’s just so fucking bullshit. Why in the fucking WORLD do they think they need Volpe AND Schuemann on the fucking bench?!! This is such a dumb decision.
