Sorry for you Murphdogg, but the radar is extremely ugly. I would have been surprised to see them play.

Not until 830. Looks like a restart window at 10. Should have started on time. Not starting a game when there is no rain for more than an hour? When the team has to make a special trip out to make it up? Stupid.

Yep, I told you I was coming out to this game. Heading back to Baltimore tomorrow, so I am screwed if they don't get it in tonight.

Murph, if you would like to go to a game at Yankee Stadium this year, your ticket is on me.

It will be an upper-deck cheapie, but at least it's something.

The big front on the left isn't the problem. It's actually blowing north and missing the city. The problem is there is an even bigger one coming up from the south off the screen.

Yep. It looks like it will start raining heavily around 9 PM.

      What is your takeaway from the Yankees series?

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      My thoughts: Judge looks like he's not aging well. He just looks un-athletic. I anticipate regression with him becoming a one-dimensional player soon. Soto is a good hitter. I'm not sure why anyone would pitch to him. He's the one guy in the lineup you don't let beat you. Stanton is now what Judge looks like he will become. He's a shadow of his former self. Their closer is very good.  Rodon looks like his best days are behind him. Completely hittable. To use an old Chick Hearn phrase, "the mustard has come off the hotdog," with regard to Cortez. He's not fooling guys anymore. The franchise in general is very un-Yankeelike. They used to be the organization that was light-years ahead of everyone else. Not anymore. They just don't play fundementally sound baseball anymore. Their defense was exposed in the series. Their situational hitting was poor. Boone seems a bit lost at times. They just don't look like the Yankees.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By interloper · Posted

      I chuckled when I checked the box score. 0-2 with 4 BB is a very "minor league pitching" kind of line.

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By LookinUp · Posted

      I think Holliday is still the priority. I honestly think his swing was ready for AA/AAA pitchers, but not ML stuff. He has to shorten up. Get to contact first. Get to power later. He was trying to just jump to power and his swing got long. That said, his defense needed work too, so another month+ and my guess is he'll have re-established himself. I think Mayo started similarly to Holliday actually. Put up some video game numbers early, but struck out a ton and made bad errors. I really think both came out big D swinging and trying to mash the league. That won't play at the majors. You have to walk before you run. I think Mayo's doing that now. He's k'ing less and I haven't heard bad reports about his defense recently, though I could just be in the dark. I can see Mayo getting the Gunnar treatment, but I could also see him forcing his way up earlier.  So Holliday first, but not assuming that Mayo will wait until September.

      Playing catch is better than being fully shut down. If there was something more serious, he wouldn't be playing catch. I think they're probably continuing to test the level of inflammation to determine when to start ramping him back up? Just guessing.  There's also no rush to fire him back up, so you might as well take your time with it.

      It COULD be a track meet in facing Elly De La Cruz

      Oh man, I was expecting CoC to start a thread about Elly De La Cruz.

      We're the better team, is my take away.

      By HelenaEngineer · Posted

      It is remarkable to have three shortstops at age 21-22 with the talent of Henderson, De La Cruz and Witt all blossoming into superstars in such a short time window. It would be interesting to see a real deep dive analysis with assessments from scouts and execs comparing the three. I have a bias toward Gunnar and see him far more than the other two, but objectively, I am not even sure who you would pick if you could take one of the three. It would be a hard call. One good thing is that after this weekend, the O's won't face either Witt or De La Cruz again this season, until October, if then.
