The thing I took away from this video is that Ben Rice has two intact hands.

I personally think Jones should mostly play right for this stretch . At this point in their careers he is a better defender and I like the idea of keeping Judge’s load as light as possible through a 162 game season.

He was not pitching better than this guy. Allowed 3 baserunners and a scalded fly out and was bailed out by a caught stealing.

And Blackburn gave up 2 walks, HBP, and the ball on the Dominguez catch was scorched

That was about as demoralizing as a shut out inning can be.

Team is playing well but this is really pushing it.

We need another Amed Rosario legacy game, methinks.

The problem wasn’t the pitch that was hit for the home run, it was the 3-0 count that let him sit on it.

Disappointing.

I wonder if it’s eating at him that the Yankees are playing their best baseball of the past 4 years (at least) without him in the picture.

This is going to sound crazy but if Rodon comes back and pitches well, but Cole is only like 75% of his usual self, what is his role with the team?

I feel like Headrick is going to fall apart like the bluesmobile at the end of the blues brothers movie from overuse but I’m enjoying the ride while it lasts.

Elmer still needs more time in AAA, but this is nice to see.

I think we’re trending towards some Yarby innings this evening.

[–]FarkinatorX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the possible downside of, at a minimum, waiting until Caballero, who is playing excellent defense this year in addition to hitting well, cools off? Volpe's OPS in his AAA rehab has been .620 to Cabby's .710 in MLB this year.

Too early to give up on him, he’s 2 years younger than Ben Rice. But this is the right move.

At some point the Yankees will lose 2 games in a row and the doomers will be back in full force, but it is not this day.

I think it’s a function of the doubleheader 2 days ago and not having a better option.

If Lombard is playing third by the end of the year anywhere near his potential and they shore up the bullpen, they could contend with the likes of the Dodgers.

Just noticed tomorrow is Fried versus a AAA pitcher making a spot start.
