GAME on YES

Baez misses the ball by an even wider margin than Stanton
Uh-oh. Holmes in the 9th with a four-run lead. This is tempting fate.
Yesterday, it was Detroit with the fatal "go on contact from third" play. Today, it's the old "second and third, one out, no runs" routine. It's like watching the Yankees in stereo.
Bader has been waived, too, according to YES.
I guess I was right about Cabrera & the bench.
