Severino vs. Reid-Foley

Lineups to follow...

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Time was a Severino start was looked forward to auto instilling confidence in the fans, but not at this time. Line is on the Yankees now loaded with more if than can do. Day Baseball, the very best on a pretty, sunshine afternoon, Sinatra post game "New York, New York, kick dancing with the fans.

Stanton -DH
Hicks -CF

Andujar -3B

Mid August 2018 and Yankee baseball. Last nights’ storms leave the air fresh & clean. Hoping Seve
can start with a fresh win this afternoon. Pulling for this kid to turn it around. He is still our best
hope on the mound.

 

[Lillie]

Doo Doo with a Bomb 2-0.

 

[Lillie]

Andujar 5-0.

[cagedlion]

If Andujar is not this year’s ROY, there is something wrong with MLB to identify future talent..

Yankees up 6-0 end of 3.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Sir DiDi returning to form...
Batting Clean up- I've long questioned, other than his hot streak earlier in the year.

Greg bird has become Boo Bird, striking out again to a loud Yankee Stadium chorus of Booooos, which is deserved. IF BooBird doesn't start hitting soon, (correct that), if he proves incapable of hitting at least .250 for the year....
Then Mr. BooBird needs to become a Free Bird....

 

[Mattingly23NY]

An-just-Du-it-Jar with his 36 double on the season. The ROY is his to win or lose; for the taking....

 

[Lillie]

Stanton with a Bomb 7-0.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Game as it should be, all cylinders clicking end resulting in a "sit back and watch scenario." Thumping a non- contender something this team has been lacking in '18.

 

[stampedehero]

Today we have a rare lead in the early innings and added to the score stat as the game progresses. I* like that

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Commendable of those in the booth to pass out compliments about Joe Girardis contributions to the '98 Yankees!

 

[Lillie]

Andujar another Bomb 8-0.

 

[yankeesince59]

...offense showed up today...and it's great to see Seve pitch well again...I knows it's only the Jays, but still.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Good to see Stanton stepping up over the last couple weeks since Judge's been down.
An-just-Du-it-jar 8/20 over t/last 5 gms. HR #20 on the yr...!!

Gone-Carlo: HR 32; career HR #299...
Stanton should easily reach 600 HR's for his career and more. I would love to see Judge surpass him tho'., even tho Judge got a later career start...
IF Judge would of played for the Marlins (1 of few Minor Lg clubs masquerading as an MLB team in the last decade); He would have been on the roster at age 20-21 like Stanton.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Good to see baba-baBoone finally wearing a uniform. IMHO MLB should have a rule that all managers and coaches in the Dugout should be in uniform. Excluding trainers of course.

Hell if a bat boys in uniform why not the manager...???

 

[cagedlion]

As mentioned, all cylinders are in motion. Good to see. Best of all is to watch Seve improve
his game. Got to protect this guy at all cost.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

 

[Lillie]

Time to Blow out The Bullpen again.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

As my father used to say "There's always gotta be one." Today that one is Kahnle!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Another former Yankee scalds his team. Sure need Judge back in right field. Just when things were going well a couple of buttheads have to shit all over the game.

[cagedlion]

It doesn’t take much for a Yankee relief pitcher to demonstrate how to fuck up his job! Yankee outfielder(???)
just add insult to injury. Wow. Yankee OF depth really sucks. From a comfortable 8-0 lead to a very shaky
8-5 lead and it’s only the 7th inning!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

I get tired of hearing Kay justifying & defending Walker playing outfield for the first time in his 10 season career. 9 gms now.

Imo Kay should be questioning Boone's decision to put a player in any position he has never played b4 on an MLB field.

Learning and playing a new position should always be done on a minor league field, imho. Unless that player is extremely talented and athletic at any endeavor...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Just to imagine, this is where we would normally see chasing his tail Shreve on the mound. Thank God he is no longer a the Yankee...

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^you are not alone , Matt. If these boneheaded moves are experiments, junk them now.
BaBoone is playing double jeopardy with these moves.
Walker is only out there because the braintrust(?) decided to trade the best available subs
to Toronto(McKinney) and Minnesota(Austin) leaving the Yankees way short in OF help......
Trashman got temp starters for these kids. Well, just where will these moves get this team?
If you are thinking the World Series, think again!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Yanks been doing their damndest to make this a close game. From 8 to 0, now 8 to 5.

An-just-Du-it-Jar 3-4-3 i.e. 3/3. Just keeps on raking.
Like to see Nike bring back those "just do it" commercials. An-just-Du-it-Jar deserves his commercial in the spotlight....
