The Yankees put up 10 in the 7th inning tonight as Wells, Grisham, Rice (x2), Bellinger, Volpe, and Wells again (x4) each collected RBI's! Yankees win 12-3!

"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."

all is well that ends Wells, awesome!!
the deluge of runs scored was very, very welcome
but it might be important to note that Schmidt pitched a pretty good game.
he scattered a few too many hits
and allowed two runs over six innings,
but he pitched look someone who belongs in a major league rotation.
Schmidt would give the Yankees their third legit starter
three allows a rotation to begin to solidify
four is good...... and Gil might be back and in reasonable shape before July
and that might mean that Cashman needn't pull a panic move for a starter.
I did nto comment in game time, but I was super impressed and happy to see Cruz give up the hit and run, but come back to get a huge K on machado to end it!!
after game, Boone said Cruz never gave in. with that statement, I TOTALLY disagree!! one or both Wells and Cruz decided to give in and throw a 3-1 fastball to Tatis. that was a mistake. throw the freaking splitter. if he lets it go and it drops below the zone and he walks, FINE
then you go after Araaez
after seeing the 7th, is anyone thinking that perhaps some of our hitters can take a different approach to more ABs? the one AB that stands out is the second AB of the inning (Volpe). he seemed to very clearly be focused on hitting the ball to RF and consequently smoked a ball right up the middle vs a very good pitcher.
I did not see any real noticeable change from any other hitter, but I am hoping in a HUGE way that this inning throws some gas on the fire for Wells and Belli. super nice ABs lefty on lefty
I feel bad for Wandy (not so bad that I wish he'd shut the Yankees down, of course). He had a 2.82 ERA with the Yanks across 3 years. He was like the anti-Whitson; he can only pitch for New York!
