Best Royals song: Victoria

What can the Yankees do for an encore?

Expect big day from Judge after his couple of innings of rest.

McMahon starts vs LHP??

Talk about faltering. Royals DFA'd Falter.

Chisholm & Grisham sit.

Rosario at 2B & Caballero in LF -- what could possibly go wrong?

Over / Under: Outs by Cole, 15.5

Cruz got the 4 outs

and expended nearly 20 pitches in doing it.

they should give him a day off tomorrow

Yes, that's the joke.

I embrace Yankees 6 opponents 0 as being the perfect score for each game.

however, I'm willing to accept 7-0

I was also impressed by Magic

while my father was impressed by the re-imagining of Ross MacDonald's work for Harper

the guy was good

Oh, c'mon. Let him get out of the inning. I don't like this move. Cruz should be fine, but is he going to get 4 outs? Also, not to be churlish, between the 3-run 7th and the 6th (1st & 2nd, no outs, no runs), the Yankees are still down an expected run.

Replying to

he was visibly hot and tired

and the one thing to avoid is allowing a HR

Cruz is pretty stingy with them and fresh

gotta send Cole out for the 7th

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"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."
