Stroman on a rehab assignment -- he's trying to replace Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.

Wells NOT benched -- still bats 9th (How the mighty have fallen -- last year batted cleanup!)

Apparently Boone is not a blooping believer -- benches Dominguez!

Is was neck and neck whether Chisholm would play tonight.

Judge is nothing but a flirt -- needs to stop it and get back over .400!!!

Over/Under: Schmidt innings, 5.21

despite my constant reminders that Leiter is a regular victim of weak contact. I think that the top deadline priority probably needs to be a couple arms for the pen

option 1- offer the As whatever is needed to get Mason Miller

option 2- go big for Helsley from StL

after we get one of those 2, go get Jake Bird from Colorado

Replying to

Schlittler should be retained, Alan.

you're correct about that.

but is he going to be more than a 6th or 7th starter on a Yankee staff that features Cole, Rodon and Fried on big-money long-term contracts

and Gil, Schmidt and Warren on small-money terms.

the young starters are tied to the team for at least 3 seasons ...and the organization has several very promising starters on the farm.

is the organization going to be forced to away some starters?

it's a little bit funny

but this really is a game that was nowhere as close as the final score would indicate.

it was a bit of a joke. obviously we have no guarantee Judge hits another HR. Leiter is surely NOT lights out. what exactly are the lights out options in our pen? hence my insistence we add some big time help to the pen at deadline time. and we can go after Bird from Colorado tomorrow as far as I am concerned

That was actually a lovely performance by Williams. Tip of the cap to him.

"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."
