It's a sad state of affairs when the Yankees have to play a salvage game at home against the Reds.

Volpe dropped from lead off -- but he really needs a rest.

Rice gets next crack at lead off.

DJ sits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I'd love to see some Yankees fireworks, this lineup is more constructed for, at best, a sparkler.

 

REDS


India, 2B -- .272

De La Cruz, SS -- .251

Candelario, DH -- .240

Steer, 1B -- .239

Fraley, RF -- .274

Marte, 3B -- .167

Martini, LF -- .203

Maile, C -- .182

Benson, CF -- .191

Montas, 3-6, 4.23

 

YANKS


Rice, 1B -- .270 (116)

Soto, RF -- .300 (183)

Judge, DH -- .318 (216)

Verdugo, LF -- .241 (96)

Torres, 2B -- .223 (86)

Volpe, SS -- .256 (99)

Wells, C -- .213 (91)

Cabrera, 3B -- .234 (79)

Grisham, CF -- .157 (83)

Stroman, P -- 7-3, 3.29

 

Game on YES at 1 pm.

 

NEXT UP: Friday, July 5th, 7 pm, vs Boston

Swept at home by a team under .500...9-15 in last 24 games....they look like 2023 out there.

Try 5-14 in the last 19 games. One more loss to a .250 winning percentage -- that's the '62 Mets right there.

Rice takes a called strike three right down the middle.


Again, this game was over, but wouldn't you rather have Soto up in that spot? This is two games in a row where the leadoff man made the last out.


(granted Soto can't hit a 4-run homer with no one on, but you get the bigger point)

There is a "me," though.

I hope when the Reds leave town, they leave India behind.

Someone take this team to Denny's because they're toast.

"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."
