  1. I don’t think Tim Hill pitching big spots in the eighth will be a solution in the long run and Devin got helped yesterday by the ump and Lindor. He was ungood in his previous appearance.

    1. I agree on Hill, but it’s better to have a guy performing over his head while everyone else sucks than having EVERYone suck, ya know?

    1. Career Yankee OPS 689. Peraza career OPS 567, 487 this year. phenom career 668. Waldo career 641.

  2. Warren, Schlittler (prob) and Stroman vs Seattle Gilbert, Evans and Woo. Advantage Seattle each game.Toronto gets the Chisox and townies get Colorado at home. After Seattle the Cubbies come in. Could be a long hot Summer week.

    1. Yeah, it definitely is not a great end of the first half for the Yankees, schedule-wise. At least the Red Sox and the Rays play each other while the Yankees are playing the Cubs.

  3. Boone says they’re the best team in the AL; who they play shouldn’t matter. Did the 1998 Yankees care? The 1927 team? No! So neither should the 2025 future world champions!
    We will not lose today!

    1. They’re playing the Rockies at home. I wouldn’t take too much from it. Why, by the way, are the Red Sox hosting the Rockies while the Yankees had to play the Rockies in Coors?

  4. Good news Yankees now in sole possession of second place in the East. Bad news now 3.5 behind Toronto and only 3 ahead of the townies.

  5. Jazz officially back to second base!

    The weird thing, though, is that the move will now send LeMahieu to the bench. They must reeeeeally think he can’t play third base anymore.

    Peraza is an excellent third baseman defensively, but he can’t hit at ALL!

    1. They really did have to upgrade the defense. And they can always DFA LeMahieu.

    2. maybe dj gets a few late at bats and then gives any runs back in the field?

      if peraza doesn’t start hitting maybe they call up rojas or make a trade.

    3. Kirschner Boone on how DJ took the news: “not great necessarily, but that’s kind of the situation we’re in right now.”
      Aaron Boone said playing third base is a challenge for DJ LeMahieu physically. There are no plans of playing him there. He’s viewed as a bench bat.

    4. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is expected to be the everyday 2B, Aaron Boone said. Oswald Peraza is at 3B tonight “and we’ll see.”

      That’s encouraging

  6. My opinion of Boone is he’s a nice guy just a little slow. It’s why he’s always a batter or two too late to take out a struggling relief pitcher. Why he’s always late recognizing batters who are slumping. This move of Jazz is just another example; weeks after we called for it here he wakes up and makes the move.

    And it’s why they’ll never win a WS with him as the manager.

  7. More good news Yankees Place Mark Leiter Jr. On IL With Fibular Head Stress Fracture. he suffered the injury while covering first base in a game against the Reds on June 24th. Leiter was racing Elly De La Cruz to first and landed a bit awkwardly around the bag.

    Beeter up
