the weakness in the strategy of trying to single out one country for tariff action is that China will just trans-ship through 3rd countries or even do some nominal finish value added there. The only way it actually works is if the rest of the world cooperates to pressure China - but of course cooperation is anathema to Trump, which is why all this screwing around appears to likely to fail in the end.

Riley scuffling.

Kreidler just over matched against Fried.

oops

Well, Fried didn't lose his concentration over the Yankees missing their opportunity

we need to get Riley going again.

It was fun to see how frustrated Judge was. Nothing worse than to be your team's best player and not be able to do a thing to escape your fate there.

contact play leaves Aaron out to dry.

gonna need a little good luck to get out of this clean.

Indeed, Note I didn't say I thought the overall situation would get better!

either can American industry. TBH - I think it won't continue that long. Trump will continue to be a model of inconsistency and chaos, but I think he will soon enough be bored of the topic and book whatever wins he imagines he's made on Tariffs and move on to other things..

that would have been a really nice place for JHM to draw his walk.

A front office with no turnover has to be a bad one. If it were good, other teams would be poaching.

why does JHM bother to put on a sliding glove against a LHP? Guy had 1 steal all last season. Give him credit for being an optimist.

I bet Aaron Boone just said the same thing.

Lee, they might as well make you Sec of Commerce.....

plate moving around on jack that inning but he escaped clean.

96 mph GO for Tork. If he hit it 85 Riley might have beaten Chisholm to 2b

serious AB there for Judge and Flaherty.

Dingler isn't going to catch 30 straight games - they have to find someone better than Nido to back fill. MLB story says Nido is a 'plus' defender. If he is he was sure keeping it a secret in ST.

Coming out of the gate the Yankees have had too many guys hitting way over their career norms - they will be moving to the left. Tiger may well be also

My guess would be that it was because Deer not only K'd a lot, he looked BAD doing it. That always makes it even worse to the fans than the actual numbers (e.g. Baez).

I thought Palmer had put up better numbers than he did but he never broke 2 WAR with Detroit.

There is a serious problem and I certainly don't know the best way out of it but I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't either. We do need to persuade China that they have no alternative but to start restructuring their economy to a normal one, but that is not going to be an easy task because the Chinese don't understand how to do that themselves. They've gone the housing investment route and that has blown up, now they are on a new industrial production export investment binge and Trump is trying to make sure that blows that up for them as well. Europe doesn't like what the US is doing but they also have a problem with China and don't what to get in bed with them over US policy, but the US is effectively pushing them there - one of many mistakes Trump is making. But the Chinese are going to fight change as hard as they can because any change that threatens the status quo threatens the regime.

He played for Lakeland last night - 1/3
