    4/17: Stroman vs. Gausman

    Nice defense. Good to see that.

    4/17: Stroman vs. Gausman

    I kind of expected a frustrated strikeout after Judge got screwed on an earlier pitch.

    4/17: Stroman vs. Gausman

    Great job from Trevino.

    The Krafts

    Wow. Who knows if any of that is true, but if so, Kraft must really hate BB. Or really not want to see him coach successfully elsewhere. Or both. Makes Kraft sound small.

    Anthony Volpe And What Can He VolBe?

    I look forward to DJ batting sixth and pushing Gleyber down a ways. This lineup has so much potential if vets like Gleyber and DJ are even moderately productive at the plate.

    It is high....it is far....John Sterling is gone from the Yankees broadcast booth

    This is true. He had some moments, but far more often than not, I think he was looking for good things to say about players on both rosters. I don't know if it could be considered old fashioned or not, but he had a gentlemanly way of calling a game. Opposite of edgy.

    4/15: Gil vs. Bassitt

    Yeah, I was a little critical of Flaherty yesterday, probably my least favorite Yankees broadcaster. Seems like a jerk. However, I will say one positive thing about him: he was better than I thought he would be doing the play-by-play stuff instead of the analyst bit most former players stick...

    It is high....it is far....John Sterling is gone from the Yankees broadcast booth

    I’ll miss Sterling. We’ve talked about him a bunch over the years, good and bad. Like Rizzuto was, he’s been a part of my fandom for a very long time. I appreciate his work and enjoyed the banter he had with Waldman. It was a comfortable listening experience. I hope his health is ok and he...

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    Still, another series win on the road. On to Toronto.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    This soon-to-be loss is definitely due to poor defense all damn day. A lot of poor execution even beyond obvious errors.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    Yeah, I saw a replay. You're right. Dogging it probably isn't the right description, but Verdugo's situational awareness or baseball IQ or whatever you want to call doesn't seem especially high.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    I guess I looked away and missed that. Did he really dog it down the line?

    That was good defense from Cleveland.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    Look, there's gotta be obstacles for Cabrera to overcome on his hero's journey. Hopefully Verdugo or Trevino can get on base before he comes up third.

    Soto is not exactly a gazelle out in RF, is he? At least he makes most of the plays.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    Nestor ran out of gas pretty quickly over the last inning. I guess I'm not surprised after he had a long outing his previous start and it is still early in the season.

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    Flaherty seems like an odd dude. When he calling yesterday's game he had an awkward sidebar with Jeff Nelson about the trivia question where he put Nelson on the spot about looking up the answer on the computer. It was all joking around, but it came off as a little strange to me. Like he was...

    4/14 - Cortes vs. Allen

    I was just about to post how Nestor's location was looking really good and that he was putting the ball right where Trevino wants it. And then two pitches in a row to Ramirez where he missed by a lot, the second of which ended up in the seats. Not great.

    Also, thanks crom for holding down the fort mostly solo lately.
