Dude or dudet is into some S&M.

*Dude, and baseball does do strange things to me

Baez should at least start the ninth. Might as well preserve the pen as long as we can.

[HOF-Wieters]

Very impressive outing for Baez. He's only thrown 20 pitches. I'd love to see him out there to finish it off in the 9th.

[Elrod]

It really pisses me off that MLB's Gameday has Cano's 2B as the only video highlight.

[RShack]

3 up 3 down:clap3:

Wasn't it 6 up and 6 down? Or did I miss something?

Baez should at least start the ninth. Might as well preserve the pen as long as we can.

Agreed, he could also pick up a save.

[J.D.]

Well someone is telling the truth. Either way, that is bad for one of the two teams. Glad to see Baez getting another inning.

It's not like it's saying something awful. Tampa won the AL last year. It's not like they were the same old Rays or anything.

No that was us. We lost 15 out of 18 to the Rays. The Yankees went 11-7 vs. them...

You're right.

Yeah, I don't remember taking many against them. Especially earlier in the year. It seemed like Pena hit a homer every other at bat against us.

That's funny. We won two of the three we won against them in April. I was there for those.

[Mike B]

Baez is lights out with the bases empty. It's when he has to pitch from the stretch when he struggles, just like Ray...

That is true, but I do not remember him throwing this hard at anytime we haver had him. Let's see if they try to let him finish it.

[Gurgi]

Agreed, he could also pick up a save.

Let him go 3. After all we stretched him out this spring he should be able to.

I was talking about the 8th inning

[snatch311]

I'd be surprised if we got 15 innings out of the next 3 starters, so it would be nice if Baez could go that one more inning.

[Jdan14]

The way Zaun plays the game, I am excited for him to teach Wieters how to play. If Weiters plays as hard as Zaun things will be very exciting.

[J.D.]

Wasn't it 6 up and 6 down? Or did I miss something?

Nope. Baez hasn't allowed a base runner. That's really encouraging.

Posada made an awful read on that play. Either that, or he just let it go.

[Mike B]

Let him go 3. After all we stretched him out this spring he should be able to.

Yep, and it would be an old fashion save.

[JTrea81]

Another ball that would be at least a double, if not out of the park in July...
