Yanks Win

Nathan Eovaldi is now 12 and 2.   It was not a great outing for him, but he was squeezed quite a bit comparted to the Clevelan starter.  I wonder if that's a poduct of the speed of his pitches.    Anyway, if he ever gets fine control, he could really be a monster.   Topped out at 100 today, and his curve ball got as low as 72.    Sheesh.   Let's hope Rothschilde can get him there.

The bullpen wasn't much better, but Jake and Gardy started to wake up and McCann and Drew homered. Bird was 0-5 with 3 hard hit outs and 2 K's.   He looked a lot sharper at first than Jones or McCann have, and that probably caught the manager's unbalanced eye.  Hopefully, they'll let him stick around until he does his thing.   He's going to be a big time Yankee.

I wonder when Yasiel Sierra will go up for bidding?

This next series is a little makey-breaky.

I was going to look at this at a database, but then found this at Rotoworld from 8/12:

Andrew Miller allowed two runs in the 10th inning, blowing a save in Tuesday's 16-inning loss to the Indians.
Francisco Lindor led off the 10th with an infield single, and Michael Brantley followed with a double. A sacrifice fly and a single later, the Yankees' 4-2 lead vanished. Since coming off of the disabled list on July 8, Miller has a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 innings, but he hadn't blown a save until Tuesday. He's 24-for-25 in save chances overall with a 2.08 ERA and a 57/13 K/BB ratio in 39 innings. Aug 12 - 12:21 AM

His command has not been the same. Is there concern that was the real reason they were reportedly willing to give up Mateo and take on a really bad 2B's contract for Kimbel?

Conceivably. He's been Wettelandy scary.

Jose Reyes has cleared waivers and looks like there is some contact with the Yankees


http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/25269676/jose-reyes-clears-waivers-yankees-poking-around

At least a couple teams are said to have been "poking around" regarding Reyes, who was acquired from the Blue Jays for franchise shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in a pre-deadline blockbuster, and word is there's been at least a little contact with the Yankees, though it isn't known whether the Yankees have any real interest.

Reyes is believed to love the idea of a return to New York, and his comments in New York this week did nothing to dispel that notion, but it's hard to see a real match with the Yankees right now. They love the improving Didi Gregorius at shortstop, and at the moment seem to be feeling better lately about the Stephen Drew/Brandan Ryan second-base combination. Reyes played second for the Mets to make room for Kaz Matsui at shortstop in 2004.

He cannot possibly believe this. There is no way he is this dumb:

@BryanHoch: Vote of confidence: Cashman says Stephen Drew is the best available option for the Yankees at second base. Refsnyder probably up in Sept.

Getting shut out again.

 
At 6:26 PM, Blogger Mike in Mississippi said...

They're intimidated by the Jays. It's that simple. Folded at the first sign of adversity in the division. So much for this team's makeup.

Beltran with a huge hit. Extremely clutch.

Now just 1 more win in this series to go

 
At 8:27 AM, Blogger Billy Martin said...

Since May 1, Beltran has been hitting 300 with a 515 ops -- I mean it wasn't a good signing but people on here act like he hasn't been doing anything

 
At 8:32 AM, Blogger Billy Martin said...

Headley has been pretty clutch lately too, big hit against the Indians the other night and then the ground rule double to knock price out last night. Bird is starting at 1b today, hoping he sticks with the same approach as the other night

 
At 8:48 AM, Blogger Lawyer in NJ said...
