NY Yankees

With 2 outs in the first inning and no one on base Cam was looking pretty good. The Jays then proceeded to get dinky seeing eye hits and broken bat hits to score 3 runs. I figured it was not going to be the Yankees night so I decided to watch something else. Good decision on my part. I did switch back once and saw Stanton's home run. Checked the box score this morning and saw that the pen continued the trend of every reliever that entered the game allowed a run.

True, and that is what Cashman said he fixed before the trading deadline. I remember thinking these guys are no better than what we had.

One thing I have not mentioned this year that is bothering me and it just reared it's ugly head in today's game again. It's the Yankees inability to consistently turn double plays. Either Volpe plays back waiting on grounders losing precious time or he double clutches the throws or tosses them too slow underhanded to Jazz. The pivots by Jazz is he also double clutches the ball or fails to make a clean catch and neither of them throw ball to first base straight on their pivots. Toronto just scored a run because the Yankees had a chance at back to back double plays and failed by a step on both of them because of what I just mentioned above. And I'm falling out of favor with Gil. His walks are out of control. 2 straight walks with no outs led to a run.

Really need to win today to pickup a game on the Jays for this series.

What a huge win by the Yankees and what a throw by Wells to catch the runner stealing in the 9th inning. Got to keep this train rolling.
Tigers up next.

Definitely a big win today. 4 - 2 through this tough 12 game stretch. Keep it rolling.

Really tough spot to be in regarding the playoffs if we don’t win the East. It’s almost guaranteed we face the Red Sox in the wild card series if we finish behind the Blue Jays. If we can win the East we’d likely get that first round bye. Just a huge difference this season.

Blue Jays also have the tie breaker with the Yankees so we have got win the division outright. Troubling that the Yankees are something like 24-40 against the AL East. I haven't checked that figure lately but that is close. Not good. Need to pay the Red Sox back this weekend. Also, the O's have been a thorn in the Yankees side for years. The Yankees have their work cut out for them that's for sure.
