  1. Tauchman’s robbery was incredible on so many levels. Get him all the regular incredible props for an amazing catch in the third inning of a very close game. Yes. Outrageous timing. Classic Tauchman.

    But also, it was so very very Mike Tauchman. Subltle, slow to develop, suprising, but not really up on review, and also so incredibly economical. Everything Tauchman does successfully, it seems like he’s half asleep in the process, or maybe better said, if he used one ounce less of effort or had slightly less perfect timing, it wouldn’t work at all.

    Then he leads off the next inning reaching on a strikeout, because to hit a stinging single might have gotten him noticed.

    I’m not pining for Tauchman 2.0, and I’m glad he had most of his career away from here, except for 2019 he was a second division type player. Though he does seem to have learned some things about hitting in Korea.

    The other thing about that catch was that it was the literal difference in scoring in the game. He misses that catch, and everything else stays the same, it’s a Yankee win. Mike Tauchman.

    He gets to spend the early part of his thirties playing baseball for the two teams in the city he grew up near. This guy was great for Yankees fans in a way that exceeded any reasonable expectations. It’s wonderful to see the game being so good to him.

    I need to find something to do today.

  2. Tues: Framber Valdez vs. Max Fried
    Wed: Jason Alexander vs. Will Warren
    Thurs: Cristian Javier vs. Carlos Rodón

    If we pitched Fried in game 2 we might just be able to avoid the sweep.

    1. I don’t know, I like their chances against Constanza on Wednesday. He can’t be very effective at this point in his life.

    1. They’re worried about Boston and they’ll be rooting for the Yankees when they play Boston.

  3. Kirschner Boone said this on Saturday when asked if Giancarlo would play left field in Houston:
    “No, I don’t have plans on playing him in left field”

    Talkin Yanks “ Giancarlo Stanton will play left field in Houston tonight, per Aaron Boone. Stanton hasn’t played left field since September 14, 2023 in Boston

    Boone added that Aaron Judge is “getting close” to playing the field, but they don’t have a set date for that yet

    Judge has been getting close for quite a while.

    1. What’s the statue [sic] of limitations on ‘getting close?’

      Ask E. Jean.
      … or any of the roughly 10 people who are slated to appear on Capitol Hill tomorrow…

  4. “We all know that this is a super team,” Chisholm said. “We’ve got four MVPs on this team. We’ve got a bunch of other superstars on this team too. And we’ve got a lot of up-and-coming stars as well.”

    1. Mickey and Yogi saw only limited action in 1963, but their teammates that year included Roger Maris and Elston Howard (who won AL MVP that year, so I guess wasn’t technically a former MVP).

  5. P Goldschmidt (R) 1B
    C Bellinger (L) RF
    A Judge (R) DH
    G Stanton (R) LF
    T Grisham (L) CF
    A Volpe (R) SS
    J Chisholm Jr. (L) 2B
    J Caballero (R) 3B isn’t this why Rosario is here? 311/825 vs 228/739 vs LHPs
    A Wells (L) C
