Yanks Win!
Austin Romine just got his first career walk-off hit. In his previous AB he had tied the game up with a hit. Neither ever should have been necessary because James Paxton was once again super dominate pitching 6 shutout innings with another 1K, just 3 hits and 1 walk, one of the hits was was shift created. The Yanks were up 5-0 had come in and cleaned up a 2 on and no out for JP. But in the 8th Green loaded the bases then Ottavino gave up 2 jacks and the Yanks were down 6-5. Ridiculous, but they really couldn't have sustained this kind of loss when they are so undermanned. And they didn't. Romine came through with 2 big hits and now they have to fly to Cali. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a new reliever or two and maybe a new bat by tomorrow.
UPDATE: Stanton is going on the flight, so he could be activated on the trip. Andujar and some others are headed down to Tampa to rehab, and Sanchez could rejoin during the trip, maybe Wednesday.

When the Sisters Of The Poor offense hands you a 5-0 lead and Paxton pitches six strong innings, there is absolutely no excuse for the supposedly greatest pen of all time to blow it. Some guys need to be on the Scranton shuttle because it’s clear they aren’t figuring it out at the big-league level.
Credit to the replacements for both tying it and winning it.
I expect a slightly different team tomorrow.
Frazier continues to carry this team.
Too bad Boone keeps using Green.
OT, I’m in Moab, Utah. The Arches and rocks are ridiculously beautiful.
In Sedona again. Love it here.
Frazier is a tough mofo. Hope the ankle is ok in the am.
Same. Loving what he’s doing so far. When Stanton gets back I imagine he’ll man right field and Tauchman will play left to allow some time for it to heal.
Also liking Gio Urshela, especially the glove. Any chance he could play first in a pinch, I.E. as a late-inning defensive sub?
Second quality start in a row for Happ. Plus he went 7 innings. Looks like he might have found himself in the middle of that Sox start.
If that play by Wade to rob the Angels of a two-run home run in the bottom of the first is indicative of his ability to play the outfield, then he belongs on the roster regardless of whether or not he can hit.
How about the bunt? He can weaponize them.
We like him. To date, they have never shown they share that view.
Gardy's up to .250 with .850 OPS.
Chad Green is unusable.
Yeah, Green can’t even handle low-leverage innings at this point. Good thing the rest of the pen seems to be settling in.
Green and Higgy were sent down. Sanchez is back!
Boone has been doing a great job, he needs to get some credit.
I’m currently reading “Inside the Empire,” and it’s basically saying Boone’s decisions are mostly made by the analytics guys. So I don’t blame him for bad moves nor credit him for moves working out. But I will credit him for the replacements seemingly playing comfortably in the midst of a horrific rash of injuries. I liked Girardi, but he would have had them wound tightly.
Now they’re reporting Stanton had a cortisone shot in his left shoulder for something that “popped up” during rehab. I really hate to question the training staff, but this has gotten absurd.
Then they don’t use analytics well. Why?
No 100% is baseballl, thus things that should work don't always work and their riding a weird streak of events that go against the numbers.
If we criticize Boone’s dumb decisions, but they aren’t actually his own, then the criticism is still justified, only misdirected.
Not CC’s night. Happ will likely have a better season, but I trust CC way more in a big game.
Tied
