  1. How do you possibly complain about the velocity on Gil in the first inning of his first game back from the injured list? If it’s noticeably lower in, like, the fourth or whatever, that’s fair enough, but in the FIRST?

  2. Pete Crow-Armstrong is a pretty sick baseball name. Sounds like he should be going in spikes-up into second to take out Topsy “Old Tuberculosis” Stanwick of the Chicago Orphans in the first game of a day-day-night tripleheader.

    1. Agreed. So much of this season’s success is based on Gil and Schmidt being #2 and #3 worthy starters in the playoffs. If they are, then this team can obviously win with Rodon as the #4 playoff starter. I might just leave Stroman and Cortes off of the playoff roster period.

    2. I’m not as sold on Schmidt. This has been kind of a career year and has he solved his problems with LHBs?

    1. i was annoyed to see cousins in. we just never try anything different but these guys love to argue with results.

    2. I guess I can see them wanting to see Cousins get back to his good stuff before giving him the ninth. He HAD given up a run in three straight appearances, ya know? Two of those innings were bad luck, but still.

      Now that he went back to looking sharp, hopefully he gets the ninth. Weaver seems too valuable as a multi-inning reliever.

  3. No Holmes even with a 3 run lead? I guess that means he’s out. Until tomorrow when they use him up 5-4 and he gives up a run.

    Yay win. Another non-losing season! 32 in a row.

    1. I think there was no way he was getting in this particular game, but yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets into the next close game as the closer.

    1. It is when the wind blows out but very different when it blows in, and it was blowing in a gale today.

  4. As I pointed out in the previous thread, all games are 2:20 PM starts. Now, they did win the first game, so it will be good to get the losses out of the way early the next two days.

  5. RAB Hamilton and Schmidt are both coming back tomorrow and the Yankees need 40-man spots for both. Sending just Marinaccio down likely means one MLB player (Bickford?) and one minor leaguer (Misiewicz?) are getting DFAed.
