NY Yankees

[2forheels]

Well, the Yankees won and that is what matters but they sure are a boring team. Mariners were up late in the game 1-0 despite having only 2 hits. The Yankees were 7-73 with RISP over their past 11 games. Girardi mentioned that all the batters seemed to be trying to be heroes instead of just putting the ball in play. I was going to turn the game off but decided to go one more inning and lo and behold the Yankees ERUPTED for 4 runs. Lol

It's amazing how Girardi, O'Neill, Cone, etc., can all see what seems to be wrong but the coaches don't see it. Or if they do they cannot fix it.

Might just be a coincidence but Rice has been awful at the plate since participating in the homerun derby.

Grisham has started to show signs of life at the plate.

I would have kept Dominguez on the roster and sent Spencer Jones down.

My wife loves Rice. I told her the other night the exact same thing you said. I said he has sucked since the home run derby. She told me to leave him alone. lol I also wonder how much him being just the DH is affecting him. Some players need to be in the field on a regular basis and fold when they are just the DH.

Jones will be sent down next week when Bellinger returns. The Yankees have seen what Dominguez has brought to the table. He has not lived up to his potential. Having Jones hang around a while to get more MLB exposure is a good move. And he's a better outfielder than Dominguez and reportedly is the 2nd fastest player on the team. One of those 2 will eventually be traded and I think it will be The Martian.

Grisham has a really weird swing because of the way he holds the bat. He swings straight armed and doesn't follow through, but he can smack it! I was a switch hitter. When I batted left handed I kept my ring finger and pinky under the knob. I found it gave me more power. To each his own. lol
