From Bryan Hoch:
Churning around third base, Jazz Chisholm Jr. was slipping and sliding inside his left cleat, the perspiration from a summer Bronx afternoon already having soaked through his Yankees-issued socks by the second inning. When the laces came loose, there was no time to turn back.
His shoe abandoned somewhere up the third-base line, Chisholm reached home plate safely, winning a crash that jarred the baseball loose. It was just the beginning of his action-packed performance, which featured a late go-ahead knock in a 4-2 victory over the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
“That’s what I live for. That’s how I grew up playing baseball,” Chisholm said. “High school, Little League, that’s how I played. And I feel like there’s no need to change.”
Well, THAT turned out surprisingly well.
Will Warren put the first four Orioles on base, and then allowed a double, and yet somehow only gave up two runs thanks to a timely pickoff of a runner at second base. He then buckled down, and was excellent the rest of the game.
The Yankees kept coming close to scoring before finally breaking through in the eighth inning. Tampa Bay, Toronto, and Boston all lost, which was nice, and Boston, which is now just a game over .500 after losing the series to Rafael Devers’ San Francisco Giants, apparently is willing to sell in some more trades (like a Jarred Duran deal). That’d be nice. Then again, it’s also nice for THEM that they have so much young hitting talent that they can trade away all of these star hitters and still be in pretty good shape for the future.
Featured image is Warren walking off the mound after six strong innings. The Jazz collision at the plate where he lost his cleats is obviously a better photo, but I had to pay homage to Warren’s excellent outing.
If Marcus Stroman DOES return, what is the Yankees bullpen when Gil returns?
You need eight spots…
1. Williams
2. Weaver
3. Lo
4. Cruz
5. Leiter
6. Hill
7. Yarbrough
8. Hamilton
9. Brubaker
10. Stroman
Soooo….yeah, that’s not good.
The AAAA’er they called up for tonight has pitched 50 innings in AAA this year to the tune of a 0.9era.
It’s possibly asking a bit too much for him to keep that up but maybe he can keep it close in case the bats are still MIA?
Cash obviously liked Winans enough to let another guy go, so I think they have some faith in him.
why is he starting tonight again?
Yarbrough is on the IL.
I think it’s great that Boston has young talent they can run out of town and badmouth

Oh, 100% Cash wants one more swing and miss guy.
“Oh, 100% Cash wants one more swing and miss guy.”
The problem is that it’ll be a third baseman.
That’s why I want no part of Suarez. In THEORY that gives them a pretty sick lineup, homer-wise, of:
Goldy/Grisham/Rice 1B/CF/DH
Rice/Judge RF/DH/C
Judge/Belli LF/CF/RF
Belli/Goldy/Stanton LF/CF/1B/DH
Stanton/Goldy/Jazz DH/LF/1B/2B
Dominguez/Jazz LF/2B
Suarez 3B
Wells C
Volpe SS
In practice, Suarez will strike out three times a day.
NYY Lineup
CIN Lineup
P Goldschmidt (R) 1B
C Bellinger (L) CF
A Judge (R) RF
G Stanton (R) DH
J Chisholm Jr. (L) 3B
A Volpe (R) SS
A Wells (L) C
D LeMahieu (R) 2B
J Domínguez (S) LF
Martian 545 vs LHP, Rice and Trent each 635. I assume as the season wears on Jasson will either start hitting LHP or will sit against all LHPs. The Martian hasn’t homered in a month and is hitting 220/299/254 over the last 28 days. What happened?
Jasson has been bad defensively and offensively.
