Yanks win 14 - 1. Tanaka bounces back. Stanton 4 for 4 with a HR (crushed). Didi grand slam. Andujar is mashing the ball. Glayber Torres 1st career hit. .
Austin is a pleasant surprise, Tanaka removed his head from ass, Andujar is the real deal, Didi has been amazing, Stanton sighting, that HR hit the space shuttle, look out AL 27 is alive and kicking finally
4 straight W's. Didi continuing his power surge, Judge a triple short of a cycle, Sanchez with 2 blasts, and CC with a strong start. Gray needs to step up tomorrow.
Gary with the walk off blast. 6 straight for the Bombers as the west coast awaits. Not bad after getting no hit for 6 innings.
Which is a problem because he wants a personal catcher. That means if you want Gray to pitch well you need to take Sanchez off of home plate and lose his bat to Romine, unless you DH him which is what Boone did last night but either way Romine is a downgrade offensively
Monty leaves after an inning with a tight elbow, German pitches 4 scoreless innings, bullpen completes the shutout - Yankees win 4-0 Betances and Chapman both strikeout the side, Sanchez breaks the ice with a bomb in the 9th prompting Astro reliever Ken Giles to go off the deep end and punch himself in the face:
There's a special sadness when you see a promising young pitcher with a sore/tender/stiff elbow. We all know what usually comes next. If Montgomery needs TJ surgery, you can bet Cashman will looking to trade for another starter. Let's just hope he doesn't go after another Sonny Gray. Memo to Clint Frazier: keep your bags packed. Betances makes me real nervous. I get the sense that he's always on the precipice of disaster. Even though the box score shows he pitched a clean inning last night, his control was way off. How can you count on him in an important game? Betances is lucky he plays in an era where bunts and stolen bases are frowned on. Otherwise, teams would have bunted and stolen him out of the league.
