  1. Dodgers Designate Amed Rosario For Assignment. He can sign with anybody right? Hes OPSing 816 against LHPs this year, 807 for his career.
    Could he play LF against LHPs and occasionally fill in at SS or 2b? Verdugo OPS against LHPs 613.

    1. How about play him at second base?

      Gleyber .705 OPS in July, and .676 in August. A whopping .731 OPS vs. lefties this season.

    1. Why not except for Judge and Soto everyone on this team has sucked for stretches. I guess to paraphrase Flash maybe the Yankees aren’t always up for certain opponents.

    1. Does anybody actually coach him? Or is he a prima donna? Judge’s personal hitting coach nailed it a while back.

    2. He has his approach and he’s sticking to it. Sometimes he’s even good for a while. His OPS is almost 700, not too shabby.

  14. Gil is probably at too many innings, or maybe he’s just another million dollar arm,10¢ head, to struggle against another mediocre line up (even worse than the Angels line up).

    That first inning was classic Yankees the last 2+ months show.

  15. The fly balls always seem to come at the wrong time. Two innings, five men LOB. If they had walked Judge in the first to load the bases it would’ve been 6 LOB and no runs.

    2. bwehehehe, let’s see how tim hill suffices with a crappier defense behind him. rice time!

  42. In the event that the Yankees make the playoffs at least they don’t have to worry about facing these guys as I think they’ve already been eliminated.

  56. Rosario needs to be on this team now. They really don’t need Verdugo with Jazz/Rosario/Cabrera and the Martian coming.

    Can some dfa an above league average pitcher? Or closer?!

    2. dfa lemahieu, or have lemahieu unfurl unsavory remarks at fans cooccurring w suspend hammer

    4. 113+ this year.

      verdugo, gleyber, phenom, and cabrera all getting too many at bats.

      peraza also has 4 home runs this month….

    5. Meh, he’s fungible. If Amed Rosario is an answer, then this team is in worse shape than we thought. Pick him up, I don’t really care. Maybe he’ll help, maybe the bright lights and the big city and he’ll wilt.

  64. Boone has “a lot of confidence in the bullpen”, a few guys are “struggling.” De Los Santos needs to do a better job with 2 strikes.

    De Los Santos Yankees 6.1ip 10 runs 13 hits 3 walks. Do you like it?

  66. Katie Sharp Yankees: 2nd time in franchise history they had 20+ baserunners and scored 2 or fewer runs in a 9-inning game.
    They also did it September 6, 1912 vs A’s.

    White Sox vs Yankees tonight:
    – season-high 12 runs
    – season-high 18 hits
    – first win by 10+ runs this season

  68. What the hell is this? Chris Kirschner
    Alex Verdugo said the bunt attempt he had was a decision he made on his own.

    “I kind of didn’t really want to bunt but I was already kind of out there. I just got a little lazy with it and popped it up. That’s, like, the first bunt I’ve ever popped up. It happens.”

  71. April and May are doing a lot of work to prop this team up.

    I can’t believe they’re .500 let alone a half game out of first. That was an embarrassing loss. De Los Santos should have been DFA’d after the game. There has to be a kid in AAA who can pitch better than that.

  72. Sir Excalibur asks if this team is in worse shape than we thought. I can’t gauge where anyone thinks this team is but

    our two best pitchers are suspect (innings cap and injuries)

    our next best pitcher sucked
    last year and has had stretches of suckiness

    the pen sucks. it’s all trash.

    we have two really good hitters a couple average ones and many below average ones.

    if the season isn’t going to be lost it’s not a question of getting healthy, it’s about jettisoning dead weight and plugging other pieces in to see if the team improves.

    1. His swing looks much better now, actually.
      Who hit the home run in the previous at bat?

    5. My theory is there are a higher % of Tylers in baseball than in the general population.

  77. RAB Verdugo has a .279 OBP since May 1 and admitted he “got a little lazy” with the bunt try yesterday, yet there he is, hitting leadoff. He also jogs out grounders with impunity even though others (i.e. Gleyber) get benched for it. The Yankees aren’t subtle when they play favorites.

    Yet Boone likes what he’s seen. Cashman on The Martian Speaking to reporters over the weekend, however, Yankees GM Brian Cashman splashed some cold water on those dreams, saying that “There’s currently no lane for us to bring him.”

    1. Since he’s already accrued some ABs last year, the Yankees have no incentive to bring him up this year and waste his rookie eligibility. He could net them a draft pick next year as a potential ROY candidate (they have 2 this year in Gil and Wells).

      If he hadn’t gotten injured, I think the Yankees would have found a way to get him playing time, but now they’ll only promote him if Verdugo continue to fail AND Dominguez dominates for the next month.

    2. In all fairness since his return the Martian is hitting .149/.231/.192 and he has just two extra-base hits in that span (7-for-47) while striking out 15 times. So it’s reasonable to keep him in Scranton. My question is what would they do if he were OPSing over 800?

    3. It would make the decision harder, but I think they’d still try to limp through the season without expending his rookie eligibility.

  79. We are so fucked. Jazz 1062 OPS as a Yankee to IL.

    Jazz Chisholm Jr. is likely headed to the IL with a left UCL injury. Club is attempting to determine severity and if surgery will be needed.

    His non throwing elbow but still one of the few Yankees with a pulse.

  80. Soon, very soon, Trevino. Verdugo (OBP 279 since May 1 – see above), Gleyber, and LeMahieu in the CashBoone Dream Line Up. They’re going to need really big plaques in CF for Cashman and Boone, so many achievements to mark.
