Just a place to pitch until he hits free agency.  Most free agents to be will give the obligatory I would love to stay here speech, even if they plan to sell their services to the high bidder.  I've never heard that from Burnes.

I don’t mean in terms of whether he is going to stay or is even interested in doing so.  I just can’t tell if he is having fun or likes the players he is around.

Was he running hard?

I can’t figure out if Burnes likes it here, hates it here, or just looks at this as a way stop. 

I think he likes it well enough, he just not about to get attached in his walk year.  Can't blame him.

As you that attached to your job?

I accept that the Yankees decision tree if they lose Soto as I hope goes to Burne$ and/or $antander.

Red Sox are already on their 3rd pitcher in the 2nd inning.  It would be nice to get to their pitchers to knock one of them out and abuse their bullpen.  The Red Sox manager must be a Hyde fan.

Nope. Just hard enough that he wouldn’t get doubled up

[FlaO'sFan]

Nice. thought he was going to be out.

[mrbig1]

Urians is the man.

[Just Regular]

Holliday sprint speed 93rd percentile in the early going and it mattered on that play.

[Roy Firestone]

How about a SAC FLY? Can we do it?

[mrbig1]

Big hit for McCann.

[eddie83]

Get this in.

I think Burnes is laboring tonight...and he usually doesnt go too deep in games after 85 pitches...

Huh?  In his 24 starts, Burnes has thrown less than 90 pitches on just three occasions, opening day (82) and May13th (85), and June27th (88).  Otherwise he averages and consistently goes mid to high 90s in terms of pitch counts. 

after a couple dink hits in 1st inning, he looks fine to me tonight. 

[Roy Firestone]

First pitch swing...dammit.
