This is going to be a bloodbath. The last we see of Watkins.

The LF Wall Tracker thread is going to see a lot of action tonight.

New LF dims rob Judge of a homer.

I can’t believe he got out of that allowing only one run.

Philip was the last one who was on the Watkins island.  I haven't seen him on OH this year.  Hopefully he gets on before the 4th of July Texas series.  I was looking forward to making some Nadel jokes.

I’ve not missed him.

Urias gets the chain. Gonna need ten more of those.

Fastball down the middle to Aaron Judge = HR.  Who could possibly have predicted that, oh yeah.

[byrdz]

Yankees effectively deploying the ice move. That goes both ways gents.

[Il BuonO]

Horrible AB by Santander. Not one pitch in the strike zone.

Sometimes it's a double, thanks to Elrod's corner.
