About the Author
If they’re considering keeping Volpe down for another 3 weeks in order to delay his free agency for a year, as Bop noted on the other thread, then I hope they’re only doing it to boost his trade value, and not because they’re planning on playing him. Since they have Caballero now and Lombard a year or two away, they may be best off delaying Volpe’s free agency indefinitely, and that’s just not smart roster construction, nor is it fair to the player.
Speaking of
middlingmiddle infielders and their injuries, Jackson Holliday isn’t in the O’s lineup, and it turns out he had an unfortunate and painful setback in his rehab from hamate surgery in February. Hope he heals and can eventually play without putting so much pressure on himself.https://birdswatcher.com/good-news-from-jackson-holliday-mri-only-leading-to-more-questions
And yeah, Dominguez’s CT happened. Reportedly negative.
The Yankees’ CT is scheduled for the 9th inning and also expected to be negative.
Lombard 2-3 thru 6 game 1.
You can’t defend height
Trick play Ward.
And Anthony Volpe’s shoulders noticeably slump.
Rice, so nice.
Where?
Will phenom bat 2,3, or 4 when he returns?
We gotta get Volpe going.
Where?
Pretty, pretty good range there Jose.
Lazy play Trent.
He’s156/622 and playing a mediocre CF. Volpe could do better.
But under the hood
Everyone’s bored with all the winning.
Bird-proof?
I have to admit the post game is generally more fun after a loss.
Katie S Ben Rice now ranks 2nd in Slugging Pct (.867) and 2nd in OPS (1.308) against left-handed pitchers among all qualified batters this season.
The only player with a better SLG and OPS vs LHP is switch-hitter Ildemaro Vargas (.903 SLG, 1.355 OPS)
That’s kind of unbelievable.
Will Warren (2.39 ERA)
Max Fried (2.09 ERA)
Cam Schlittler (1.51)
They’re the first trio of Yankee pitchers with at least 7 starts and a sub-2.40 ERA at this point in the season (thru 32 team games)
Yay win! Yay Warren! Yay Rice!
It’s nice to see a team play baseball well.
There will be plenty to complain about when Volpe returns.
They’re playing so well even Boone can’t folk it up.
Are you insane?
Never challenge the master!
