other than not getting more hits, the players have played pretty clean

Boone? what is the point of trading for platoon bats if he refuses to use them?

we have 2 GREAT RH platoon bats (Goldy and Rosario) and another solid bat (Caballero) on the bench but Boone refuses to put them in the game. instead he believes the correct move is to let Rice and Wells to face a LHP in the 8th inning of a tie game

so the Yankees need to take care of their own business, BUT there are getting to be an awful lot of calls very much negatively impacting the Yankees in the late innings

Ump was supposed to be pitcher friendly

Warren did…

Replying to

Why does he keep throwing him in to sight situaions, especially now when the games are so meaningfull? I so. wish Judge was able to play OF. Stanton's bat has bee so helpful, but his defense is costing us runs. Also, I hate that we are not helping JD develop.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
