Cordero gets the start as an Opemer.
Hicks is back!!! And in CF!!!!
Bader is off
Bauers leads off
DJ is off
Now, can someone explain to be why with the Yanks -- using a bull pen game -- do they decide to sit two productive hitters?

NEXT UP: Tues., 5/16, 7 pm, at Toronto
when I was lately ranting about Yankees losing but showing well, it was not looked upon as other than a bit of mulch.
tonight we witnessed a Toronto team that was throttled for 7 innings
and then was allowed to make a bit of an impression in the 8th.
it was not fully comparable to recent games, but the Jays put a hitch in the Yankees' swagger
This is what happens when you give a team five outs in an inning. The defense is grotesque.
BLAST OFF !
I'm happy, of course, that they are up 6-0, but there were also two innings with a runner on third and one out, and they got neither of them in. That's a recurring problem.
this big Toronto guy
is pitching like total manoah
