Greene is batting clean up today. I can't wait for all the grand slams.

My guess: if Tork doesn’t show a pulse in the next 4 games, he will be optioned before next weekend’s home stand

The Book:

"Your three best hitters should bat somewhere in the #1, #2, and #4 slots. Your fourth- and fifth-best hitters should occupy the #3 and #5 slots. The #1 and #2 slots will have players with more walks than those in the #4 and #5 slots. From slot #6 through #9, put the players in descending order of quality."

Rain is forecast for the entire afternoon in NYC.

I still remember what Jim Kaat said in regards to Nestor.

It’s getting to that point.  Obviously Meadows and Urshela factor into the team transactions as well.  And I wonder if Jose Abreu’s recent demotion might restrict any push back Torkelson might have on a demotion.  Maybe he wouldn’t push back to begin with, I don’t know.

Anyone else get this with the Bally’s app? I can already tell this app is hot garbage.

Seldom. Going out and back in usually works on my Roku. But the user interface sucks eggs...

I read Abreu welcomed it and wanted it. That may be all BS though...I mean, what's he supposed to say?

Whelp, that called strike one that was easily an outside ball on Vierling already got me pining for #robotumps only two hitters in

Careful what you wish for. An uncalibrated robot ump could actually be worse. At least we can complain about human error now. When the machines take over and make us all slaves, we're screwed. 😆

[gehringer_2]

yanks got their run. This one is over.

[Tigermojo]

Tork did a thing 

[gehringer_2]

Tork did not take the thigh high outside strike.  Baby steps.

[AZTigersfan]

Lots and lots of strikeouts so far. Cortes is painting but getting a lot of help from the ump.

[Tigermojo]

This ump is worse than yesterday and that guy gave the Yankees +0.41 runs.

This is a tough AB (Keith's K)

Going to waste a Skubal start?

Funny you mention this.  Just accepted a marketing role with a company named Cyberdyne Systems.  They are doing some interesting stuff.

Skubal not really fooling anyone today.

[Dtrain72]

I'm envious of the Yankees and their MLB caliber 1-9 hitters
