Yanks win 3 of 4 this weekend.

Take that to the bank

24-6 vs LHP, although all that is with Judge.

If they can beat the two lefties, I like their chances to take one of the Pomeranz/Eovaldi starts.

As far as this year's draft goes, the Sox signed their first 13 picks and 18 of their first 20. Nick Lucky (2B, 14th round) stuck with his commitment to Coastal Carolina and Kason Howell (OF, 20th round) is going to Auburn. Pretty excited about Decker and Casas' power potential but they won't be in the majors anytime soon. Durbin Feltman's dominating and the Sox could very well bring him up to the majors this year. Jarren Duran (2B, 7th round) has hit .348/.393/.548 with 17 XBH (10 triples!) and 12 stolen bases in 37 games in Lowell.

Lopez is the lone guy in BA's top 50, ranked 20th. He was 24th on MLB Pipeline's top 30.

Yankees just signed Osiel Rodriguez 2 days ago. Nice to see he's at #10.

Still a few in that list unsigned. Hmmm.

One of the top pitchers on the international market this year, Rodriguez is the latest in a long line of Cuban stars chasing the big league dream.

The right-hander's fastball has been clocked at 97 mph and the pitch usually hovers in the low to mid-90s.


He's 16. Jeez.

Happ is no sure thing either. Might be Cessa. He was called up for something.

In 27 plate appearances against Price in 2018, Yankees have 12 hits and 6 HR.

I had to doublecheck. That is insane.

In ten innings vs Boston Tanaka has given up 10 runs and 4 homers bring the popcorn 1st team to 20 wins

Yankees placed LHP J.A. Happ on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 30, with hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Happ contracted the virus last week and will miss his scheduled start Saturday against the Red Sox, though he should be ready to return when first eligible. The veteran left-hander allowed just one run on three hits over six innings in his Yankees debut last weekend against the Royals.

Yep. Cessa on Saturday it looks like.

Yuck.

Cool little nugget:

The last time the Yankees and Red Sox faced each other this late in the season with the 2 best records in baseball was game number 163 in 1978.

Here's hoping this season ends like that one.

you had better hope that the sox don't wear Baltimore jerseys!

Nah. They play lousy vs bad teams, but have the best record in baseball against teams over .500.

I expect they'll play to the level of their competition, as per usual.

Sonny Gray officially removed from the rotation.

Be funny if it went around the Yankee clubhouse.
