DJ LeMahieu is back! I obviously think this team is much better with a healthy DJ hitting leadoff (and Volpe batting, like, cleanup), but I’ll admit that it probably makes sense to make sure DJ IS healthy.
The streak turns to Nestor, and, well, that’s worrying.
The Angels ballpark is stupid and I hope someone ate the Rally Monkey.
That’s how you get the bad diseases, eating monkeys
Soto’s home run made we look for some Mantle videos. None of his ‘565 footer’ or the one that almost went out of the stadium
I could see Nestor in a Ramiro Mendoza role
Nice piece of hitting Phenom
Soto hits em where they ain’t.
20 games.
11 baserunners, 3 runs. Do better
No.
How is Kevin Pillar OPSing over 1000
I don’t put a lot of stock in PEDs but he’s on some kind of juice
The streak lives!
You know if Rizzo can’t even field the position any more, it’s time to move on. Nice career, you got a ring, enjoy retirement.
Well this sucks. Bad Clay Holmes Time again?
That was very unfortunate. Ward is a good hitter, though.
After getting that first strike, Estevez was, like, “I’m going to throw it higher and higher until they don’t call it a strike.”
Damn, DJ hit that hard.
Bad loss. Yanks did nothing off a parade of rag-arms.
This had the stink of a loss on it when they managed just 3-runs while wasting baserunners. And if they are serious about this season, both Rizzo and Gleyber need to go.
How did he swing at that?
Yeah, this really did feel like a loss when they just couldn’t score enough runs.
It’s amazing that the streak continues, though!
Repent before the Nasty!
Weaver has been so good, I don’t understand that move.
He’s given up home runs in two of his last three appearances. I think it’s fair enough.
I just don’t like relying on Holmes too often for 4 out saves.
I don’t love it, either, but I think it’s reasonable enough.
Holmes is a decent closer, but not great. Pretty sure nobody was feeling Greg Gagne vibes when Holmes opened the season with all those scoreless innings.
I definitely wasn’t thinking about the Twins’ old shortstop. 😉
Eric! Funny )
Kirschner Anthony Rizzo is 9 for his last 46, with a slugging percentage below .200.
And his D is kind of blah.
The defense is really starting to gall me.
Volpe’s looked really good. The catching’s been really good, right?
By “the defense,” I mean Rizzo’s defense.
Ah, I remember some disappointment with Judge’s defense, too. And obviously Torres on occasion.
Oh, Gleyber sucks on defense, but it’s sort of built into his game. Same with Judge in center field. Rizzo is supposed to be a GOOD defender, and he’s been trash this season so far.
Brian, Judge was considered a surprisingly excellent outfield defender over the past few years, wasn’t he?
The streaks continue: the Yankees have lost the last 2 games; and even more improbably, dating back to the beginning of the season, they’ve lost their last 19 games in which their opponents scored more runs.
FOR SHAME
