Geez, have a game Mookie Betts! 2 hits, 4 RBIs, a HR, and the Nats look like garbage.. wasn't this picked as a World Series contender? Let's hope Zimmermann isn't hurt.. with that lousy line, I wouldn't be surprised if he's injured..
Breslow's not available tomorrow, Varvaro's pitched back-to back, Layne's going to AAA.. and Ross is not one who can go multiple innings, after that disaster in Texas last season as a SP. Innings aren't really a good measure.. it's the number of pitches used. And Wright isn't even on the team now, as he was optioned to AAA yesterday.
Farrell's going to have a lot of explaining to do after this train wreck of a game. Better hope Porcello goes 7-8 innings tomorrow.. which won't be easy against that strong Nats pitching staff.
I wonder what Derek Jeter is thinking about with Gregorius.. at least despite the lack of range, Jeter made the plays! Gregorius has had a ton of mental errors since he became the SS for the Yankees..
Say, what's your bet Holt is pitching the 8th? If he's not, Farrell doesn't have a clue that he can't afford to keep blowing out bullpen arms in a game like this..
Former Royal and Brave Kyle Davies coming in for his first MLB appearance since 2011. Smart move by the Yanks.. don't waste the bullpen in a 9-run game, which apparently Farrell doesn't know.. Breslow and Layne are 1 inning guys at most.
And Tommy Layne walks in a run and will likely get rewarded with a bus ticket to Pawtucket after this with Robbie Ross(Uehara and a long-man will likely be recalled tomorrow).
As I said, why the hell didn't Farrell get a long-man called up after that 19 inning game?? At least the Yankees did something with Matt Tracy(DFAd today) and Kyle Davies(signed today)
This is more what we expect from Buchholz. 4-0 now, and Napoli's error doesn't help. And Farrell will look even worse if Buchholz is knocked out early.. he didn't call up a long man after Steven Wright was sent down so Joe Kelly could be activated.
Former Brave and Royal Kyle Davies is back in the majors for the first time in 4 years with the Yankees. Matt Tracy DFAd. Shows a severe lack of depth in the Yanks organization in pitching.. but they don't want to touch Whitley or Mitchell right now, especially considering the fragile rotation in NY.
