The New York YANKEES start their 2024 season today. They start the season with their best pitcher, Gerrit Cole, on the DL (disabled list) and their starting third baseman, DJ LeMahieu also on the DL. It is estimated that Cole will be out of action for about two months, and LeMahieu out for anywhere from two weeks to two months. There are also several other players who will start the season on the DL.
The ultimate goal for the YANKEES is to win the World Series. There are many thresholds that must be met just to get to the World Series. Every threshold is met in only one way, WINS. Wins is the only stat that determines the best players and the best teams in baseball. Over the 162 game season the teams who win their division will move on to the playoffs, and the next teams in each league with the most wins will also go on to the playoffs. The playoffs then start and only the teams that WIN each round move forward towards the World Series.
Any team that loses any round is finished for the season. Only WINS determines which teams move forward, until only one team in each league is left, and they will be the two teams who will meet in the World Series to determine which team and their players are the best in baseball. No players individual stats mean a thing on which players and teams reach the World Series. Learn this fans, if you haven't already or if you are new to baseball, only WINS determines which players are and which team is the World Champions of baseball, by winning the World Series.
The YANKEES have upgraded their lineup and roster significantly by adding Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo, and Marcus Stroman to the team for the 2024 season. Anthony Volpe will be in his second season and still on the improve. Austin Wells, a promising youngster, has been added to the catching ranks. The YANKEES, will be looking for help from several young pitchers until their 'ace' Cole returns to the starting rotation.
In other news, this blog, the WIN METHOD YANKEE baseball blog, will break two billion views in the next several months. The WIN METHOD blog is the number one YANKEE baseball blog in the world with readers and contributors of opinions from all around the world. Yes, 2,000,000,000 views, from all over the world. Thank you all, wherever you are from for your viewership and your opinions.
As the season begins, lets all get behind and support our team, the New York YANKEES, and their run to the World Series. It will not be easy, there are thirty teams with the same goal.
Again, thank you everyone, for making the WIN METHOD what it is today, the best blog, forum, or site in the world, just as you all are, the best in the world readers and posters.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 2054 Newer› Newest»Gil tonight to even series instead of winning series. Every team loses games, giving games away needs to be completely avoided, but it will happen to every team. Giving a game away just leaves a sour feeling in your mouth.
Torres and Rizzo right now are weakening the infield defense.

No fooling around tonight. WIN
Top of first inning, one of the worst umpiring calls in the history of baseball was made. If you didn't see the play, I am sure there will many replays of the incident which will clearly show the incompetence, ignorance, and common sense of MLB umpires. Just regroup and respond with a win.
NJYANKEE, it is the way the world is today. Incompetence, ignorance, corruption, cheating, failure are all accepted, taken for granted, and have become the norm.
0-0 after 3.
Yankees bats stifled thru five innings. Gil is doing it again with five scoreless innings so far. Yanks lead 1-0. Need to score some runs.
Volpe leads off 7th with line drive to right field corner. Hustling all the way he tries for third forcing a throw, safe at third and throw goes into stands allowing him to score. 2-0 Yankees.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn, 2-1.
It wasn't easy but it was a win. 2-1 nailbiter down to last out. Gil another standout performance for the win.
Final. Yankees win 2-1. Gil brilliant again. Goes 8 innings allowing 1 run and 2 hits for the win. Holmes works a scoreless 9th which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Gets out of self created jam and earns the save. Verdugo HR and Volpe triple and scoring on wild throw trying to get him at third base the only Yankee runs. Defense solid tonight, but offense dead. Series tied at two with the rubber game tomorrow night.
Tough win last night.
Progressives and liberals are destroying America. They must be wiped out. Wake up America and vote for conservative republicans only in every elections everywhere.
Getting back to the first inning umpire boondoggle of incompetence last night.
There needs to be some room for common sense. The Angel fielder misjudged the popup and subsequently crashed into Soto who was literally standing on the base. You can't punish the runner for being where he is supposed to be. You can't call the runner out when the batter is already out because of the infield fly rule being called. The fielder ran into the runner who was standing on second base, exactly where he is supposed to be under the circumstances. The fielder did not have to catch the popup, because the batter was automatically out once the infield fly rule was called.
Final ruling should have been, bases loaded, one out, continue the game. But that would have meant common sense being used.
Rodon tries to win the series tonight. Help from the lineup would be nice.
Ralph--Yuma, you've got that right. They are trying to destroy freedom, individual choices, integrity, honesty, while replacing these things with control, limited choice, decrepit morals, and dishonesty.
One more step closer to the destruction of the United States of America by the progressive, liberal, radical left wing, democrat scum. There are more criminals in the progressive, liberal, radical left wing, democrat party than there are criminals in prison in the world.
Trump found guilty by the real criminals. OK people, time to step forward.

On this national day of despair, corruption and criminal actions by the politicians presently in charge of our country nothing would be better than a Yankee win.
Guy Padikian, thank you for acknowledging the man made cancer created in our nations capitol and festering throughout America, particularly here in New York City where I have lived all my life. This is a national disgrace.
Lets go Yankees.
Well, there was a lot of evidence including an audio recording of Trump discussing the crime and a lot of witness testimony and paper records. But who cares, we have to call it rigged.
Given Trump's advanced age and obvious dementia I hope the judge is lenient in his sentencing. I suggest no more than 3 years in prison. That is fair and when he gets out he can still enjoy a fulfilling life selling Trump Bibles and Trump sneakers.
Although he has a history of violence organizing the Jan 6 massacre. So let's go with 3.5 years.
Anonymous, you forgot your name. No problem, I'll fill it in for you and your comments.

The joe-bama/commie MALADY administration are celebrating their success today.
Joe Biden, the USA's worst president in history, has turned the USA into a "BANANA REPUBLIC".
Bats overdo to make noise. Lets take this series.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Finally, Yanks with a 5 run 7th inning. Scored 2 runs on bases loaded walks and 3 runs on bases loaded triple by Soto. Lead 7-1.
Yankees win game and series with an 8-3 win. Rodon went six strong inning, but when the Yankees had a long seventh inning at bat scoring 5 runs, Rodon came out flat in the seventh and was taken out of game. Bullpen went final 3 innings allowing no runs.
Final. Yankees win 8-3. Rodon gets the win going 6+ innings allowing 3 runs. Hamilton 2/3 innings 0 runs, Ferguson 1/3 innings 0 runs, Kahnle 1 inning 0 runs, and Tonkin 1 inning 0 runs.
Judge 2 run HR. Soto 3 rbi triple. Cabrera and Volpe rbi walks, and Trevino rbi sacfly. Yankees win another series and now head to San Francisco for a three game weekend series to conclude this 9 game road trip.
Clarke Schmidt is out for about two months with a lat strain. Poteet will take Schmidt's next scheduled start this weekend.
Yankee fans, baseball fans, MAGA fans. When you vote in November remember this. If the liberal democrat scum of America win the Presidential election, America as we know it, is done, over, kaput. Think about it, wake up and see what is happening to America. The words and world you will read about belong will no longer exist.

That's where we are at in America. Make your choice.
Barbara, that is ridiculous. The country will continue to exist and continue to be run by corporations and the uber rich who essentially control everything including all three branches of government and the military. Foolish to think anything changes whether the old man in the Whitehouse is a adulterer, pervert felon like Trump or not.
Poteet to start for Schmidt this weekend. Can he continue what has been one of best performing starting rotations in MLB history? We will see.
Barbara Brockmeyer, It will be my honor, and I will proudly vote for Donald Trump in November or at any time. I am so glad I left New York City.
Donald Trump is an American folk hero. He is as American as apple pie.
Stroman, Poteet, and Cortes starters for SF Giants series.
Anonymous, now known as Liar, will rot in hell with all progressives, liberals, and most democrats.
Grosner, don't be a fool. Yes, America will exist, however as I stated, not as we know it.
Trump is the only man who can save this country. He must be elected President. To save America from the criminals destroying it.
Laura, indeed. I recall reading about the folk heroes of my youth: Paul Bunyon, Daniel Boone, and John Henry, etc and their tales of mocking military veterans and walking up and sexually assaulting women by grabbing their genitalia. As American as apple pie!
As Molly Pitcher once said about military veterans: "what's in it for them?"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543
His Chief of Staff said this about convicted Felon Trump. You may think he makes a good president, but be sure he is a crap human being.
"A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them,'" Kelly said of Trump. "A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family — for all Gold Star families — on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
Win tonight and get off to a good start in this last series of western trip. Hope the bats produce plenty of runs.
Oh my oh my, Grosner is at it again. Posting debunked stories from a DC swamp dweller who tried to take down Trump from within. Looks like Grosner is part of America's problem, hates MAGA and what it stands for. Make America Great Again. The same MAGA the criminal Biden and his willful goons mock and malign almost every day. It is truly sad so many in our country hate it so much.
We just had a corrupt choreographed trial orchestrated by who? The scum of America, progressives, liberals, radical left-wingers, and democrats. Why? To try to prevent their opponent, Donald Trump for being voted into the Presidency in November 2024. Why? Because Donald Trump wants to and will make America great again. Why? Because he loves America and the American people. Once more, who are trying to prevent him from making America great again? The scum of America, progressives, liberals, radical left-wingers, and democrats.
Which side are you on and voting for? Make America great again - TRUMP. Or what you see happening right now, the destruction of America - Biden.

Stanton out against a tough right hander. Six lefty bats. Just need to produce when it counts.

Walt, John Kelly's own words are not "debunked". You can either believe the Marine Corp general with 40 years of service protecting our country in the Military or the guy selling Bibles branded with his name on it for $59.99 and just finished a trial that included testimony that he spanked a porn star with a rolled up magazine.
The choice is yours!
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn 6-2.
Nice pleasant win as Judge powers Yanks with two home runs and four rbi's in a 6-2 win.
Final. Yankees win 6-2. Judge all the rbi's on a 3 run HR and a solo HR. The other 2 runs both scored on the same wild pitch, Torres from third base and Rizzo from second base. Stroman with a fine game, goes 7 1/3 innings allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Weaver closes it out going 1 2/3 innings allowing 0 runs on 1 hit. Good quality pitching and just enough hitting for the win. Good start to this series.
With tonight's win the Yankee are 5-2 on this road trip with 2 more games to be played. It is a winning road trip and with 1 more win they will have won all three series and had a great road trip. Wins is what the game is all about and wins is the only stat that matters.
Grosner, you are right, but wrong. What is right, when someone is quoted, at least honestly, there is no question the person said what they said. What is wrong, it does not mean what they said is either true or fact, it just is no more than what they said. Trump over-ruled Kelly and Kelly did not like Trump not doing what Kelly wanted him to do. So Kelly maligned Trump and made a fool of himself. Trump kicked him out on his keister. Therefor, my choice is Trump.
With Poteet starting tonight the Yankees may need several innings out of the bullpen. Only Weaver was used last night, so the bullpen is rested and should be all hands-on deck when needed.
Grosner, Robert Mandel answered you and your "debunked' nonsense. Kelly's words were spoken by him, what the words said were debunked. Stop with your leftwing nonsense. Lets all just MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Because it sure as hell isn't now.
Cody Poteet may be a surprise to many fans. Look for a good effort from him tonight. How about at least five innings. With at worst just one or two runs given up.

Four pitchers in order, Hamilton, Ferguson, Kahnle, and Holmes each work and inning of scoreless ball. Offense, Judge 2 run HR, Soto sacfly rbi, Verdugo rbi single, Verdugo rbi triple, Stanton 2 run HR. Just as our posters called it. Yankees win series and play for a sweep tomorrow. One heck of a winning road trip.
Smile and be happy Yankee fans, tomorrow's final game of California road trip is a day game. 4pm game time on east coast.

Soto, 2 HRs and 3 rib's, a 2 run HR in the 9th for the win. Verdugo a 2 rbi double in the 5th to tie the game when Yankees were down. Stanton rbi double. Yankees sweep Giants and complete a 7-2 western road trip winning all three series. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
7-2 road trip, not bad !
Next weeks preview. Off day Monday, then six sold out night games at Yankee Stadium. Three with the Twins, Tue, Wed, and Thur. With a weekend series hosting the Dodgers, Fri, Sat, and Sun.
It looks as if Gil, Rodon, and Stroman will face the Twins.
FREE TRUMP and he will FREE AMERICA.
It appears to me that the Yankee outfield of Verdugo, Judge, and Soto from left to right, are the best outfield in baseball - offensively and defensively - plus the best 2,3,4 hitters in baseball.
OFF DAY TODAY
Three game series with Minnesota Twins starts tomorrow. Gil, Rodon, and Stroman scheduled Yankee starters.
Tom Wilson, I agree. When all the democrat corruptness is shown, Trump will be cleared. However, it may not be until after he is elected President.
The next six series the Yankees have, one is with a .500 team, the other five are over .550 to .650. One 4 game series and 5 three game series. I guess it is time to start playing better baseball. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, Biden has the corrupt justice department going after Trump and his own son. This man is cold.
Yes. corrupt DOJ and doing Biden's bidding. If it weren't for one judge, Hunter would be free already. The judge wouldn't accept the corrupt DOJ pleas deal. A whole heck of a lot of string pulling and monetary payoffs going on.
19 games with good teams and two starting pitcher out. Of course I would like the Yankees to win 19 games. But I do not think that will happen. I would not be unhappy even going 9-10. And elated with 12-7. Lets see what happens.
Gerrit Cole will make his first rehab appearance with the Yankees AA farm team the Somerset Patriots in Bridgewater, NJ tomorrow night. Slow and easy does it, no rush, and good luck.
Don't want to put pressure on Yankees of Gil, but winning this first game of nineteen tonight would be a good start. One game at a time, one win at a time.
Just think how great this country would be if we eradicated progressives, liberals, wokeness, DEI, the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and their appointees throughout the government.

Kahnle a solo HR in 7th, Hamilton a scoreless 8th, Weaver a scoreless 9th. Offense, Torres solo HR, Judge 2 rbi double, Stanton 2 rbi HR for John Hartnett's "tac-on" runs.😊
Gil has been special. Cole had an excellent game tonight. Never expected 3 innings and 45 pitches. I was thinking an inning and 20 pitches tops. He must be further along than any of us knew.
Playing some really fine baseball right now. Confidence building. For the umpteenth time, Your not as bad when at your worse, and your not as good as when at your best.
Rodon tomorrow with a chance to take series. Bats need to keep producing. We get both we get the win.
A vote for Biden is a vote by an imbecile.
Swen, you are being nice. The only good that can be said about Biden over is entire lifespan will be - - - "today Joe Biden has died, the only good thing he did for America".
It is highly likely that in the coming years the Joe Biden family of criminals, liars, thieves, and traitors, will go down in history as the most disgusting and deplorable in American presidential history, as well it should.
When any team plays as well as the Yankees are now, isn't it possible that the players feed off each other. The pitchers don't want to be the one fails and costs the team a game, the offensive players want to produce when it matters most so as not to let down the offense, and defensively no player wants to make an error that costs the team a game.
Yankees put up a 4 spot in the first. 4-0.
Yanks up 4-0 after 3.
Yankees double their lead to 8-0 after five innings on their second 4 run inning.
Strong commanding effort from Rodon. Retired the first 16 batters he faced, then allowed a HR to the 17th batter. Allowed a couple of hits and 1 more run to complete 6 innings and leaves game leading 9-2 as Yanks score another run in 6th.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn, 9-5.
A laugher tonight. 8-0 lead after five. 9-5 final score. Rodon with 5 1/3 innings of perfect pitching. Judge 5 rbi's.
Final. Yankees win 9-5. Rodon earns the win going six innings with a perfect game for 5 1/3 innings. Then gives up 2 runs in the 6th. Santana in 7th and 8th and very bad, but in a meaningless situation. Gives up 3 runs in 2 innings. Tonkin with a 1,2,3 9th. Offense, mostly Judge with 5 rbi's. 1 on a ground out, 1 on a bases loaded walk, and 3 on a bases loaded triple.
Verdugo rbi sacfly, Stanton rbi single, and Torres with a 2 rbi double. Yanks take this series and play for a sweep tomorrow.
Nice comfortable win. Now for the cold water and hard facts. The Yankees will lose more games this season.
Cory, yes they will, but you didn't have to say it.
Here is some food for thought.
Teams in the AL East are 50 games over .500
Teams in the AL Central are 3 games over .500
Teams in the AL West are 32 games under .500
Teams in the NL East are 5 games under .500
Teams in the NL Central are 1 game over .500
Teams in the NL West are 14 games under .500

Verdugo out? In my opinion, that is a big deal. Nonetheless, lets sweep up.
Grisham has 2 hits for the season, 2-39. I say he doubles his hit total tonight.
Carlos Pepe. You called it. I don't care if he gets the 2nd hit, the 2 run HR is worth the difference.
There's the first hit. Two run home run gives Yanks 2-1 lead in second inning.
Yanks up 7-2 after 4.
Stroman has a bad game, only goes 4 2/3 innings. Gives up 5 runs and 8 its. Leaves leading 7-5 but cannot earn a win. Need a few more runs now. Still a long way to go.
Grisham, sacrifice fly for an rbi when it mattered most. Is that as good as hit?
RAIN DELAY
Great post and prediction re Grisham, Carlos Pepe. Fans here really know their baseball.
Yankees win 8-5. Long hour rain delayed game, it wasn't pretty, but a win. Sweep series with Twins.
Not a crisp game, stretched an extra hour because of rain. Boone used six pitchers, and it felt like the Twins were always one big hit from winning. Twins outhit Yankees 10 to 7 and also had 4 walks, but failed to deliver the big blow. So Yankees won 8-5 winning and sweeping the series.
Final. Yankees win 8-5. Yanks used six pitchers. Stroman went 4 2/3 innings allowing 5 runs for a no decision. Stroman did not have his best stuff and grinded out what he could. Hamilton came in for the last out in the 5th. Because of a hour rain delay that was it for Hamilton. Gonzalez in for the 6th and went 2/3 inning, 0 runs. Weaver in for the last out in the 6th and completed the 7th allowing 0 runs and was credited with the win. Kahnle worked a scoreless 8th for a hold, and Holmes a scoreless 9th for the save, his 18th on the season. Yankee offense Grisham a 2 run HR. Torres a 2 rbi double and Wells a sacfly rbi. Volpe steals third base and scores on a throwing error. Stanton rbi single, and final run scores on Grisham sacfly rbi his third rbi of game.
The halfwit to no wit posters at the nyyfan forum are wetting their pants, whining, and bemoaning the Yankees about Soto's forearm issue. Their comments are absurd and display each posters sheer ignorance. Soto issue is likely minor to minimal. Lets see if he plays in the weekend series.
Dodgers aka known as the "Bums" when they were in Brooklyn, NY are here for a three game weekend series. Yankee starters, Poteet, Cortes, and Gil. If the Yankees win this series, it would be really saying something. "If"
Trump for President >>> Save America >>> Make America Great Again >>> Trump for President
Soto underwent an MRI today, and it appears the initial results were positive. Soto, who was taken out of night's game early due to left forearm discomfort, appears to be dealing with inflammation. He will have further tests and will not be in the starting lineup for tonight's game.

How sweet would it be if Poteet and the Yankees win tonight!
0-0 after 3.
Almost. Poteet goes 4 2/3 innings of scoreless ball. Gonzalez gets the third out. 0-0 mid fifth.
No score thru five innings. Poteet did a great job going 4 2/3 innings, 0 runs, 2 hits, 3 walks. Can't ask for more. Yamamoto is pounding the strike zone, fast ball after fast ball.
0-0 thru 9, now little league extra innings. This is a disgrace to baseball fans.
Final. Yankees lose 2-1 in eleven innings. A truly great game played by the Yanks, and a tough loss. I am to tired to go through the details. Quickly, Hamilton gives up 2 runs in the 11th on a 2 rbi double. That was the only runs the Yankee pitching gave up in the game and many guys pitched. Hamilton was in his second inning of high pressure pitching. Starting innings with a ghost runner each inning. Yankee only run on a Judge single in the 11th. Stanton and Rizzo batting 4th and 5th failed every at bat. No matter, the team should be proud of the way they played under the circumstances and the events of the day.
Yanks, played to well to lose, but so did the Dodgers and someone had to lose. Cortes tomorrow. Bullpen was hard used tonight. Could be tough game to get through. Soto, another off day?
Would have it have been better to lose by 8 runs? Not really, the guys showed a lot of grit.
Cortes needs to step up. He has struggled in almost every start.
Four Israeli hostages rescued by Israeli Defense Force after raid in Gaza today.
BenRosen/Israel, great news, keep up the good work, destroy Hamas.
Cortes has pitched well at the Stadium this season. Need a big effort tonight, and many goose egg innings from LA.

Need Cortes to pitch well, no more than a run, max 2. Need the lineup to score runs, 5 or more.
Would love to even this series today.
Cortes struggling again, and this time at home. 2-2 thru four innings. Yankee bats so far matching runs given up by Cortes.
Yanks down 3-2 after 5.
Cortes taken out after 5 1/3 innings and another poor performance. Leaves with Yankees down 4-2.
Torres error in 8th on a very likely double play grounder opens flood gates and allows a four run inning putting Yanks down 8-2.
Yanks lose 11-3. Good score to lose by. Lose first series in a month. Gil tomorrow to prevent a Dodger sweep.
Final. Yanks lose 11-3. Yankee runs, Wells ground out rbi and Judge 2 solo home runs. Pitching, ugh, Cortes 5 1/3 innings allows 4 runs and 7 hits, always in trouble, takes the loss. Tonkin 1 2/3 no runs no hits, good job. Kahnle not so good 1/3 inning 4 runs 1 hit 2 walks and Torres costly error. Santana 1 1/3 innings dreadful pitching, 3 runs, 3 hits 2 walks. Cabrera gets last out 0 runs 0 hits. Series is lost. Gil tomorrow for the dreadful espn Sunday night fiasco game.
We lost two games with our best left handed by out of action. Soto is not only our best left handed bat, but possibly the best left handed bat in the game, surely in the top two or three.
The Dodgers, you would think, should be a big test for Gil. Yanks have lost both games, Soto likely not in lineup. Packed Stadium, big stage, bright lights, big noise level, pressure.
Cole making his second rehab start with Somerset Patriots (AA) today. Goal, build up arm, no setbacks, recover, male next rehab start, repeat again, when ready start MLB game, help lead to playoffs, advance thru playoffs, win WS.
Cole went 4 2/3 innings today. Gave up a run and 2 hits, on3 a solo HR, and 0 walks. Looked like he was throwing free and easy. Threw 57 pitches 44 strikes.

Soto out again, 1 game 2 game 3. If Gil does not get help from his lineup, he will have to win the game almost on his own, The kid does not need that kind of pressure. Hope it not a lost weekend.
Stanton still batting cleanup. The only thing he has cleaned this series, is the bases every time he fails. You could honestly say he cost the Yanks the first game of the series.
Scoreless thru two.
0-0 after 2.
2-2 after 5.
Gil goes 5 2/3 and leaves down 3-2.
Grisham 3 run home run when it matters most for a 5-3 Yankee lead after six innings.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn 6-4.
Great game, great win, unexpected hero in Grisham who provided the biggest hit of the game, a three run HR when it counted the most. When you produce over how much you produce is WIN METHOD baseball.
Yanks win 6-4. Win final game of series and avoid LA sweep. Grisham the hero with big three run home run giving the Yankees a lead they didn't give up.
Final. Yankees win 6-4. Gil was solid, going 5 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs and keeping the Yankees in the game. Ferguson goes 1/3 inning and earns the win (undeserved). Weaver goes 2 innings allowing 1 run and earn a hold. Holmes throws a scoreless 9th for his 19th save. Lineup in order Cabrera solo HR, Judge rbi double, Grisham when it matter most, a game winning 3 run HR, Judge solo, insurance run HR. Yankees salvage the series without Soto playing.
Getting a win in this series after losing the first two games and playing without Soto was big.
Good job guys. More wins are on the way.
A team win tonight. A lot of guys contributed.
No rest for the weary. Yanks immediately fly to KC tonight for a four game series with the Royals. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night games and a Thursday afternoon game. Rodon, Stroman, Poteet, and Cortes. The fly to Boston for three weekend games with the sux. All night games. Should be Gil, Rodon, and Stroman.
Likely to see Soto in the KC series. How much?
Adding to the pressure on Grisham last night when he hit the three run home run, had to be the fans in the ballpark screaming "we want Soto, we want Soto". The fans did not get Soto, but they did get the biggest hit of the game and a win from they guy who they wanted Soto to hit for.
Grisham responded to the pressure of the moment and delivered when it mattered most. Kudos to him. A win for the team from a bench player.

Soto in, Judge out. Stanton out. Rizzo out. Can only do out best.
Yanks hold 2-0 lead after third.
Yanks up 4-0 after 4.
Rodon gives up his first hit of game in fifth. Leads four to nothing after five.
Yanks nursing a 4-2 lead after eight.
Yanks win it 4-2. Defeat KC 'ace'.
Final. Yankees win 4-2. Rodon in command, goes seven innings allowing 1 run and 5 hits for the win. Hamilton goes the eight allowing 1 run and 2 hits striking out 3. Earn a hold. Tonkin closes out the ninth allowing just a walk and earn just the second save of his MLB career. Yankee offense Verdugo rbi single and LeMahieu sac bunt rbi, The big hit was a two out 2 rbi single by Trevino, yes, when it mattered most. Not bad outcome with three of your opening day lineup not in the game.
Yanks take opening game of a four game series in Kansas City. Win 4-2 with Rodon getting is ninth win on the season.
Road trip off to a good start as Yanks win 4-2. Rodon with a fine seven innings giving up just 1 run. And Tonkin who had only 1 save in his career closing out the game and getting his 2nd save.
Stroman starts game two tomorrow. Lineup and bullpen should be at full strength. Let go Yankees, do it again.
A part of having a top starting rotation is the mixture of pitchers and how they pitch. What is each pitcher's best asset. I believe a rotation that has both left and right-handed pitchers is a plus. Power hard throwers, mixed with stuff pitchers, pitchers who throw with great movement to their pitches, a mixture of combinations can keep the offense of opposing teams guessing. Most important, is throwing strikes, and/or making the hitter a pitch think the pitch will be a strike, even if it is not.
Democrats have lost their moral legitimacy to rule. By siding with the criminal radical leftwing, liberals, and progressives the democrat party is destroying America. They are the ones who must be destroyed. The American people are getting sick and tired of what is going on in the country.
Hunter Biden found guilty of all charges.
Get of load of this mendacious loser of a father and loser President. We need a real President who never accepts accountability for anything, not this reasonable, soft hearted twit. Give me the porn payoff, bible selling, military mocking guy who use to pal around with Jeffrey Epstein anyday!
Utterly despicable:
“As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery,” Biden said.
He added, “As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”
Production when it mattered most won the last two games. Production from non star names. That is the WIN METHOD and that is why the best players and best teams win. Stat frauds are fools.

Nothing to say. But the DH is do for a hit. One big one would suffice.
OK fans, lets have some fun.
Look at todays lineup.
Close your eyes and imagine.
Don't think about any position anyone is playing.
Open your eyes and seeing.
Jasson Dominguez name instead of Stanton.
Greg Hale >> I'm salivating.
Grosner, looks like you accept corrupt and are easily fooled. Trump and the Trump family have broken no laws. Biden and the Biden family have committed multiple crimes.
Yankees with two runs in the first take quick 2-0 lead after one.
Wells 3 run home in 4th puts Yanks up 6-0.
Yanks up 7-0 after 6.
This game has been a laugher for a long time now. Just waiting for it to end.
No contest, a rout, a laugher, whatever you want to call it. 10-1 Yanks.
Final. Yankees win 10-1. Stroman 5 2/3 innings, 0 runs 4 hits and the win. Marinaccio 2 1/3 innings, 1 run 1 hit, and Gonzalez 1 inning, 0 runs 0 hits. All pitchers were in control and had no issues. Offensively, Wells 3 run HR, Judge 2 run HR, Stanton solo HR. Judge rbi single, Stanton rbi fielders choice, Torres rbi single and Cabrera rbi single. Not much of a game, but a win and wins are all that matter and what counts more than anything else.
Poteet starts tomorrow.
Four game series with the Royals. Yanks won first two. Can win series with one more win and can sweep series winning two more games. Lets go Yankees. Getting that feeling.
Takes more than overanalyzing stats to win in this league and this is coming from a former stat head with fantasy baseball and baseball in general. When you watch baseball long enough... you realize there are no stats to measure grittyness.
Based on his current form, if I'm an opposing manager and my pitcher throws a strike to Judge I would yank him out of the game immediately. He should be walked every at bat. Thankfully, the egos of opposing pitchers won't allow that so he continues on an offensive streak unlike any other.
Yankees facing a TJ pitcher who hasn't pitched in MLB the last few years. Hope the Yankee lineup doesn't feel sorry for him tonight.
Grosner, The pitcher does not have to throw a pitch to any batter. All the manager needs to do is hold up four fingers to let the umpire know to put the batter on first base intentionally. And yes, the offensive streak Judge is on now is very very rare. But he has had runs like this several times over his career so far. I might add, he is likely one of the top hitters in baseball history, right up there with the names of immortals.
