Millions in salaries, cents in abilities, a real shame to see this group suit up in those classy pinstripe unis.

Balls? Then why do I still see ARod in the lineup. Somebody please jab a needle in the guy, the cheater was easier to watch.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^well, at least he dropped him down to 6th.

 

[totus44]

Hey this is looking promising......not.

 

[Rick2583]

After a 25 pitch 1st inning it looks like another outing of a Yankee pitcher that doesn't go beyond the 5th inning.

^^^well, at least he dropped him down to 6th.

And Headley is on the bench.

 

[Messiah717]

While Tex just missed the problem is with runners on all these guys are trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark. Most of the time they just keep pounding the ball into the ground towards second.

 

[totus44]

Gardner got on and swiped a bag, that's his job. But 0fer with RISP is getting tiresome.

 

[Messiah717]

What do you know? An A-bomb by Arod makes it 2-1 Yankees.

He'll be peeing in cup shortly....

18 pitches for the next 2 innings....nice adjustments by Tanaka & McCann and/or timely hacking by the Ms.

 

[totus44]

Just noticed....Ketel Marte? You have to wonder is he has other siblings named from the liquor cabinet?

 

[Rick2583]

Yeah that is good to see. It would be nice to have one of these guys go AT LEAST 7 innings for a change.

 

[yankeesince59]

...nice to see Tanaka showing some resilience.

 

[yankeesince59]

...poor judgment by Ellsbury in the OF.

 

[Messiah717]

Ellsbury is starting to become a real adventure out in center field to start the season. There was no chance for him to catch that ball.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Betances in...and I assume then Miller for the salvage of the final game of the series.

 

[Rick2583]

Good morning, Good afternoon & Goodnight by Betances. Hey we may actually win this game.

 

[yankeesince59]

...ball game...good guys win.
