1. Today's Yankee line-up has 4 starters batting between .200 and .238.
2. Domingo Herman is named to, " stop the bleeding."
I have liked Domingo from day one. He reminds me of a slighter Luis Severino. Talk about opportunity and pressure?
Domingo is on a run of 6 hitless innings against Boston.
If he proves his worth today, he settles in as a Yankee starter. Just as Montgomery did last year.
Quite a pleasant surprise. Until he gets injured or traded.
Hope for the best.
The season skies are getting darker. Mostly because:
Our defense is the worst.
Our offense is over-rated.
Sanchez cannot catch.
Sonny cannot pitch.
We lead the world in strikeouts.
Swinging at air is not interesting to watch.

ReplyDeleteAs Charlie Brown would say, AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is not that Sanchez can't catch, it's that now he can't hit!
ReplyDeleteThat at-bat last night was plum pitiful, compounded by his Little-League-like insistence that he had fouled off the last pitch.
Irksome.
The guy I just can't stand though—and I know I was totally in favor of getting him—is Scranton. Nothing ever seems to lead to anything else. There never seems to be an extended, traditional power-hitter run. He is the king of the two-homer, one-off game.
No hit no catch is no way to go through life, son.
ReplyDeleteEvery Yankee win is a big win.
ReplyDeleteSanchez should be traded. Sell-high Sanchez.
ReplyDeleteTrade a young catcher with the highest WAR at his position in the AL in 2017 because he got off to a slow start at the plate and because he boxed a few balls at the plate, even though he has the best arm of any catcher in the game and a dWAR no worse than Romine's. Sheer genius.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in LA, I saw Larry King dragging a trash can out onto a baseball field. His suspenders were down and I could see about two fingers of his backside. I wasn't looking, I just saw it. He said, son can you help me get this can to the first base side of second? I said sure. So I did. Another man with the build of Herve Villechaize except with bigger forearms if you can imagine that carried a sack of baseballs to home plate. After catching his breath, Larry proceeded to suit up in Angels catcher’s gear and squat behind the plate. I asked if it was Butch Wynegar’s gear but Larry said “go fuck yourself. I’m busy.” So I did. I hid behind a tree for a while and saw him throw just about every ball into that trash can. I can still hear the sound.
ReplyDeleteBill White, I just snorted wine through my nose reading that. It's not a pretty feeling, but it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteBill White - this is why I come to this site. Sheer poetry.
