Frazier playing RF and Westburg still doesn't start.  All Westburg did in the minors was drive in runs.  Glad the O's don't need someone like that.  

He got hit by a 100+ mph pitch directly to the hand yesterday.

Best bullpen in baseball the Yanks have, it will be tough to get insurance.

The guy leading the MLB in WHIP and pitching great is a nice 4th or 5th starter? How many teams have 3 guys pitching better than him? 

People just enjoy kicking some players when they’ve had a bad moment.  I’m as guilty of that as anyone but to pretend that Wells isn’t a very good pitcher is absurd.  I’m not saying he’s prime Verlander or Scherzer but he’s still good. 
 

He gave up two runs in six innings. Back to back solo shots and people lose their minds.

Wells is pitching a 3.0 ERA right now.  I'll take 3.0 in every game in this series.

Have to think at some point McKenna comes in for O’Hearn with Urias moving to 1st and Frazier to 2nd. O’Hearn is 5 batters away. Now 4.

Wells is a #3 and maybe Bradish (?).  Other than that we have 3 back of the rotation guys.  So totally agree 100%.

Bradish at the moment is probably a #3-#4, but his potential gives me hope that one day he can be a solid #2 or maybe even an adequate #1 if he over performs and reaches his potential.

Oops.  Palmer says it was his elbow.  

But still.

Mateo so close to breaking out of it!!

Here is another reason to hate the Yankees more: They may sign Otani next year for $500 mil that is pocket change for the Yankees.

I didn’t think he had his best stuff tonight either.

Serviceable might have been a better choice of word than adequate.

It’s getting really hard to watch Mateo. I really like the guy but this can’t go on much longer.

Good to see Adley doing well again.
