  1. If Belli doesn’t make it from fan voting, does Belli make the All Star team?

    Goldy probably DOESN’T make it either way (too many good first basemen, especially with Vladdy likely making it from the fan vote).

    1. I think they should just wait until he shows he can play right field. This team is better with Stanton’s bat if he can play right field.

      If he doesn’t get to that point, then yes, he’s probably not a plus for this team with the way Goldy is hitting.

  2. They have now literally stranded a runner in scoring position in EVERY INNING except for the first inning, which is the ONLY inning they’ve scored in (I actually don’t know if getting picked off at second to end the inning counts as stranding a runner in scoring position, but I’m counting it).

  3. Following today’s game, the Yankees optioned RHP Jake Bird and C J.C. Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Elmer Rodríguez will start tomorrow, Aaron Boone said. Inserting him into rotation to provide starters with extra rest. Gerrit Cole moves to Monday at Detroit.

  4. Cole pushed back to Monday in Detroit, Elmer to start Sunday’s game in the Bronx. I imagine they can then give Cam an extra day as well.

  5. Yeah, it makes sense to me, as well, to give them all a rest, and then you send Cruz down for Yovanny Cruz to help the bullpen (or do you let ERC pitch out of the bullpen?).

    I feel bad for Escarra, he handled things well when Wells went down.

    1. By the numbers Y Cruz hasn’t been great 3.46 era,1.27 WHIP, 12.6 k/9. Chivilli small sample only 8 games, 1.50 era, WHIP 0.75, 11.6 K/9, 3 years younger than Cruz.

  6. Tactical surrender
