What happened? I saw the Yankees lost, but didn’t see why.

Pulled German who was dealing because he gave up a 1 out single in the 9th. And it was trash can Rosario coming up.

Booney does it again!!

Honestly, unless the Yankees get some real starting pitching, they will likely finish no higher than 3rd in the AL Central.

BKS owes us an apology for calling him “best manager in baseball” last year……

Oh yeah he is playing that old 1/2-dimensional chess.

Big night for Wong. 4-4 with a double and 2 homers, the 2nd being the game winner. Yoshida added another homer as well, now up to .298/.391/.511 (147 wRC+). I feel like he can be a .300/.400/.500 guy, especially with how excellent his plate discipline has looked so far. I'm fully on the Yoshida hype train.

I don’t know what’s gotten into Alex Verdugo all of a sudden, but he has been on a mission this year. He finally looks like the player he was in 2020. I thought he was a future all-star then. He’s finally showing it again.

Time to send Hicks to the cornfield......

Alex Verdugo on Evolving as Hitter (and Not Trying To Hit Home Runs)

Boston’s hottest hitter is at his best when he focuses on hitting line drives.

Sox are hitting .270/.342/.458 as a team with a 116 OPS+. 2nd in AL in OBP, SLG, home runs, and 3rd in runs.

Not too worried about Casas. Even in his struggles he's still showing good plate discipline, which I find encouraging. That .192 BABIP won't last forever.

Rotation still struggling. Bullpen's been weird. Jensen/Winckowski/Schreiber/Crawford/Martin looks very solid but Bleier is struggling and Brasier should have been DFA'd about a year ago.

Might have to keep an eye on Chase Meidroth. Drafted last year in the 4th round, hit .309/.424/.559 in 19 games at A ball with more walks than K's. Started the year in high A and he's hitting .367/.531/.500 with a 20:16 BB:K ratio. He could find himself in AA pretty soon. And speaking of Greenville players, Mayer's now hitting .299/.400/.481. Also possible we see him in AA in the summer.

Yorke's hitting .284/.415/.552 in AA so far after an injury riddled 2021 and he's got the BB/K ratios more in line with 2021. And he's only 21.

Hopefully Bader & Peraza can stay healthy……

Perfect time for Cashman to scoop him up.......
