I don't expect a lot from him. That was a lot of time on the IL, and only a few starts in the minors. Gotta be damned rusty and lack stamina.

NEW YORK — The warning signs were there all along. When the New York Yankees acquired closer Devin Williams from Milwaukee last winter, scouts throughout the league whispered concerns about whether the two-time National League Reliever of the Year could handle the bright lights of the Bronx.

Those concerns proved prophetic Friday night at Yankee Stadium, where Williams surrendered three runs in the 10th inning of a 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros, marking his third game-ending failure in four appearances.

Now, Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake has acknowledged what many observers suspected: the pressure of pitching in New York might be affecting Williams’ performance.

The Rizz says moving to the Yankees was the best thing that ever happened to him, even above his WS win as a Cub. I always liked the guy. He's 35 and lost a step or two, but he's a class act.

"I am not anti-Boone the way most are because I think that Aaron Boone is managing the way the organization wants him to manage," Kay said. "Those are the rules of engagement. This is his eighth year. He's always managed this way. And they just gave him a two year contract extension at the beginning of the year."

And therein lies the problem.

Stanton playing right field today. He's not great, but neither was Soto.

In his past 27 games, Stanton is 11-for-26 (.423) with 17 RBIs with runners in scoring position.

First female ump in two minutes. Good luck, Jen! Hofstra graduate, like me.
