Brito gets another shot to prove himself. Let's not let Baltimore build confidence against us for the season, eh?
Huh:

Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Recalled RHP Jhony Brito from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
• Placed INF Josh Donaldson on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to 4/6) with a right hamstring strain.
• Placed RHP Jonathan Loáisiga on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 4/6) with right elbow inflammation.
• Signed OF Willie Calhoun to a Major League contract and selected him to active roster.
• Transferred RHP Tommy Kahnle to the 60-day injured list.
Nice! With a lefty going for BAL, good chance you get Hicks in the lineup, so when he resuscitates his career starting tonight, you can take full credit.I’ll be in attendance at the game tonight, I’m kinda excited to see how fast the game moves when you are in the stadium.
LOL I will take it.Nice! With a lefty going for BAL, good chance you get Hicks in the lineup, so when he resuscitates his career starting tonight, you can take full credit.
It def does.Brito thru 4 innings. His stuff plays at this level.
$22M AAV! He is also a solid OF when they actually let him play.The way salaries are rising, Stanton is almost underpaid, especially if you just count what the Yanks are paying him ($29M).
Must be pretty cool to be there for one of those! Although blink and you miss it as it heads into orbit...Stanton bomb.
He fields his position, too. Made a real athletic play on a chopper towards first base.Gleyber of course has been incredible so far but he was projected as a 4 WAR player, Brito was actually optioned down to minor league camp before Rodon and Severino couldn't go, and again to AAA in between his first two starts (not sure if he actually went, he did not pitch there). He has been NY's savior through 7+ games, he didn't even have his best stuff tonight but he does not give in.
Hardest hit HR ever at Camden Yards!! (Statcast Era, since 2015)Stanton bomb.
I remember that number from your posts on the topic but Cot’s confused me. Not hard to do.$22M AAV! He is also a solid OF when they actually let him play.
There are two sets of numbers there, actual money owed on the left and AAV on the right. AAV for him is 25 but MIA pays 3 of it annually, actual money owed is 32 (29+3).I remember that number from your posts on the topic but Cot’s confused me. Not hard to do.
His change is incredible, those two above were almost identical pitches back to back and Rutschman was nowhere near either.Brito fans Rutschman to end fifth on this pitch sequence: 79 mph curve, 87 change, 88 change. He hits 95 with his fast ball so that’s 16 mph difference from heat to slow curve.

It got out fast. The wall being pushed back doesn’t matter much for guys like Stanton and Judge.Hardest hit HR ever at Camden Yards!! (Statcast Era, since 2015)
Yeah it definitely moved quickly, not a lot of non-action on the field, which was really nice. It was a little cold at the stadium for sure.2 hours, 47 minutes. Not especially fast but an hour shorter than most Yankee games in Baltimore.
Velocity is still down a bit but he looked better last night.I love the beginning of the season surprises. Gleyber, Stanton, and Brito. Would be good if King can hit his stride.
I like that Jimmy only needed 13 pitches to get 3 outs. He threw 11 strikes. I thought he would be more of a wild man. Jimmy did good.Too bad Abreu let in Nestor’s runs, but he did seem out of gas.
Cordero gave up a HR and almost a second but his stuff is absurd. He threw one pitch that broke down so much I thought it was a change, then I saw it was 99.
Also YES credited Franchy’s HR to Jimmy, I need to find a pic.
