Wells gets the day off after an off day.
Stanton dropped to 5th in lineup.
Fangraphs has Yankees as 68% favorites -- must be because Stanton is batting 5th.
The Yankees should do something to honor Cabrera on his last visit to Yankee Stadium.

Wow, second and third, no outs, and I'm waiting for popup, strikeout, flyout, like it's been all year. Instead, both runs score on a double, and we're now still runner on second, no outs. Who are these guys in pinstripes? I don't recognize them.
Stanton fourth quickest to 400 home runs behind Ruth, McGwire and A-Fraud. So second fastest non-juicer.
Idea for between innings entertainment: foul line to foul line race between M. Cabrera, Stanton and the Freeze. Cabrera and Stanton get to start at the RF bullpen.
I wonder what that guy who was telling this morning what a genius Boone is thinks of that challenge
DJ seems to have found the Fountain of Yute.
