A. Jaime Garcia was a good pickup for the Yankees in 2017, so I’m fine with them trading Littell for him, and they got Littell for James Pazos, so that was a steal. And Littell has gone through MULTIPLE teams since then before the Rays found him and fixed him, but…well…it still irks me. Thank goodness Rortvedt isn’t playing today, as it’d be a really annoying battery for me.
What a weird, stupid lineup for the Yankees.
I assume he’ll settle down, but I wish Cortes didn’t have these games where he comes out looking lost.
Way to Posada that one up, Grisham. And he’s legit FAST, too!
What the fuck is this baserunning?
I feel like a Trent Grisham ought not to do that
oh come ON
Note to Trent if you’re hitting 071 learn to run the bases especially with two out and Soto coming up.
Yeah, it was crazy awful.
He took his cue from Berti in last night’s game.
Hitting 071 means he’s not getting a lot of practice, right?
See I think Verdugo sucks
Just turned it on.
Eeehh… what… are… they… wearing?
Why, why would you PH Torres for Wells
You wouldn’t
Boone: Look at me manage here!
Why would you pinch hit for Waldo, not Grisham. (Oh for the HPB) Flash “Stanton and Jones are still available.” Who exactly would Jones pinch hit for??
Obviously, he’s Juan Soto, so I’ll defer to his judgment, I guess, but it seems like he should have taken a few more pitches that at-bat. He was intent on swinging on everything.
If Grisham doesn’t make plays like that what’s the point of him
You know, Soto reminds me of Barry Bonds. He’s so intimidating.
Crazy play by Grisham jumping again to barehand the rebound off the wall
You use Hamilton down 4?
Very strange, right?
Just throw the Incident out there at this point.
Why is Tompkin even here?
Hamilton does seem semi-broken at the moment, so maybe some lower leverage appearances to get right are OK.
Okay, you’ve convinced me it makes a little sense.
Game over.
Last three games, 7 runs.
boo cortes, free Ben rice
