Nick Swisher HOME RUN! (fantasy baseball benefactor) Eric Chavez was put in as a defensive substitution for Nunez at 3B. Reassures me that Chavez is in game shape.
It's so obvious that Rivera pitches better when he pitches often so expect Girardi to now sit him for about 5 days straight.
Yes..then he can recover in September and Robertson can close..he will probably replace him next year anyway.
He can have 5 days off in August..he doesn't need it in April. What did he have, 3 appearances in spring training total? Something like that. If you noticed each of those last three appearances he got stronger, his velocity went up and his control became exact.
