Good to see the Yanks have gone back to the future. Just got back from the game. Yes, his League of Justince Mega Chin is eerily reminiscent of the late 90's Deep Balls past the Walls session, but this guy is CLUTH and BELTS one when we need one to keep HOPE alive. I was at Friday's incredible extra inning comeback and now this one. This team has such hints of this e GLORIOUS YANKEE MAGIC teams of the late 90's. I LOVE this team, so much fun to watch.

Good to see the Yanks have gone back to the future. He's actually slimmed down from last year. He gets tested, and if he shows positive,then I hope he gets suspended. I guess it's not possible he's just a really big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to get CC throwing more than 4 innings a start again. That offense, they do not quit. Down by 4, ok. Down by 8, ok. Just keeps coming on. Gardner real hot after an awful start, couple hits, couple walks yesterday, wearing pitchers out. He saw 27 pitches last night. Judge fouling pitches off to finally go deep with one. Holiday hitting better and better, players hitting to all fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never want the whole team to be 34, there's no energy. But that whole infield, no one is even 28 yet. Gardner and Ellsbury can still be productive, but with the deeper bench they can get more days off. Let them play 120 games and stay fresh instead of 145 and wearing down. It'll all be about health and if the starting pitching holds up. Girardi is even doing a better job of not killing Betances yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know CC wasn't good last night but he fought through and was still able to get through about 5 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanks are 2nd in least runs allowed in AL and 1st in runs scored. I think that if the Yanks are still in 1st place or in striking distance by late summer before trade deadline, Cashman will get a front line starter.

Torre kept throwing him out there and making the excuse, "It was just one bad inning." But, yeah, if you give up 5 runs in an inning, it ruins the whole game. The problem for CC, just like with Cone, is also that this "bad inning" is early in the game so Girardi can't pull him early because it screws with the bullpen. Right now CC is really the 5th starter but he's slotted to be the No. 2, pitching after Tanaka. Hopefully after the All-Star Game Girardi can re-set the rotation to move CC down so it's Tanaka, Severino, Pineda, Montgomery, CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember him having a limit in his first season and that was lifted in his second season, but since he was so awful last year and moved to the bullpen he didn't hit the limit.

Just has no velocity left. Seemed like the year might be okay for him earlier on. Not so much now. I can't see him getting too much longer of a leash. Maybe a trip to the DL to give him some time off. Then one more shot at it in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
