[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

2-2 tie...end of 4.

Big Bad Bob Gsellman is coming in for the 5th....

If Lugo and Gsellman can end up as good bullpen guys this team will be a lot better, real fast. Green was a damn revelation for the Yanks last year.

Once Thor is back up to speed from the lay off it will be interesting to see who has the most 100 mph pitches, him or Severino. Severino is through 6, 7K's one run. If these two pitch against each other during the subway series I'm going

Giancarlo Stanton's NYC housemate, AJ Ramos, is on the mound for the Mets in the 8th.

And it's another 1-2-3 inning thrown by the metsies' bully.

Probably should come off the bench or PH today...he doesn't hit Strasburg very well

Looks like he's penciled in at the leadoff spot.
I'm okay with it.

Well all righty then

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well all righty then

I would've preferred if he spent 7-10 days in Vegas getting his swing back etc. but I guess the PTB thought otherwise.

btw: the PCL season opens today.

Conforto with a contested homer!
