Cole one away from Guidry's record. Chi rooting against him.  Guidry would have struck out 349 of today's hitters. |

Rizzo calls Cashman mid-game and asks "Can I DFA Hicks?"

At the four and two-thirds innings point, Rizzo should send Boone to the showers.

I bought four pints of ice cream at the store. Just got back - I needed dog food for Greta. Who predicted Judge would be DH today? Brooklyn? Good job! Four pints of ice cream! I'd be in heaven! What flavors? I’d be on a slab in the morgue… |

Andujar got another hit and RBI today. After three games he is 4-11 with five RBIs. Of course it's a little different doing it against the Reds in meaningless late September games. I'm not pining for his return. Yea, wishing him the best, but not really missing him. |

With Andujar at third, we made it to the seventh game of the ALCS. |

I'm not pining for his return. Yea, wishing him the best, but not really missing him. The primary issue I always had with Andujar was the he was a one-dimensional player. He could hit. That was it. I do give him credit for becoming a reasonable facsimile of a left fielder… |

My first hope is that Beni and Carp are both back and we won't need them. I was about to say Hicks because he's been hitting lately, but after that dunderhead play I am reevaluating. Benintendi and Carpenter we can get to later. Right now, it's Locastro vs. Hicks. Upon further review, I probably still stay with Hicks because while I know Locastro can run like the wind he is useless with the bat. The benches are so thin that I don't think the Yankees can afford the luxury of a pinch runner. With an 11 man pitching staff, I'd be happy to have a running specialist. |

What's strange is the biggest concern about Andujar was his defense and where could the Yankees play him. Turns out he was fine in LF, but just didn't hit. |

Okay to for everyone except Pipps: Locastro or Marwin Gonzalez?
Pipps? Hicks or Marwin Gonzalez?

Marwin playing a pretty nifty first base. So far Cole's performance has been reassuring.
I just don't want the three-run home run.

Hicks vs. Locastro:
Bat: Slight edge to Hicks because of his power and OBP ability.
Fielding: Slight edge to Hicks. Range is similar, Hicks takes better routes and his arm is back.
Baserunning: Gigantic edge to Locastro, though Hicks still retains respectable foot speed.
Base Stealing: Gigantic edge to Locastro
Situational value: Either should be bench pieces. The Yankees don’t offer a lot of pinch hitting chances, and are more likely to employ a pinch runner.
I’d take Locastro for his legs…

I know Marwin is more versatile, but if I illegally put in some context of DJLM returning, we don't need him. So with great sorrow I still take Hicks. You'd be hard-pressed to name another player over whom I would take Hicks unless we're going full Jonathan Davis. Or maybe Stanton. |
