Chris Bassitt starts for the Jays tonight. When healthy, he's been a good #3 type starter the last six years. From 2018 through the start of this season, in 136 starts, he's 61-33 with a 3.40 ERA. with a WHIP of 1.18, both very good numbers. Last year for the Jays, he led the AL in wins, games started and batters faced. He was 16-8 with a 3.60 ERA. In 200 innings,he allowed 176 hits, 88 runs (80 earned), 28 HR, 59 BB and K'd 186. His WHIP last year was a solid 1.175. In 3 starts this seaons, he's 1-2 with an ERA of 5.06. He's allowed 10 hits, 10 runs (9 earned), 3 HR and 9 BB in 16 innings, with 17 K's, and has a WHIP of 1.813.
He's pitched exceedingly well in his 3 career starts against the Yanks: he's 1-0 with 2 no-decisions and an ERA of 0.87. In 20 2/3 innings, he's allowed 14 hits, 2 earned runs, 1 HR and just 4 BB with 26 K's. With the Jays last year, he shut the Yankees out for 7 innings in a game in Toronto in May, and for 7 2/3 innings in a game in Toronto in September. Given those results, it's not surprising that the Yankees' team quadruple slash line against Bassitt is an awful .187/.238/.253/.491.
Bassitt is a 6 pitch righty and he commands all of his repertoire well. No significant changes in his repertoire so far this season: 92 FB about 47% of the time, 89 cutter about 18% of the time, 78 slider about 15% of the time, 70-1 curve about 12% of the time, 83 splitter about 5% of the time, and an 84 change about 3% of the time.
===============
Luis Gil makes his 3rd start this season for the Yanks. In his first two starts, his stuff has made him hard to hit, but his command is so shaky he hasn't been able to go five innings in either one. In 9 innings, he's allowed just 3 hits, 3 runs, 0 HR, but has walked 7. He's fanned 14, and his K rate in this tiny sample is a preposterous 37%, the same as the injured Spencer Strider has had in his career, over a much much larger sample.
Tonight will be Gil's 3rd career start against the Jays. He threw 91 pitches and walked 7 in just 3 1/3 innings in a 2021 start against them, and his last start was agaiinst the Jays as well: 4 1/3 innings, 2 hits, 2 run, 4 BB and 8 K with a HBP thrown in. Combined, he's given up 3 hits, 5 runs and 11 BB against the Jays in 7 2/3 innings, but has struck out 14 and hasn't allowed them a HR yet. The Jays quadruple slash line against him is a weirdly ineffective .115/.395/.154/.549.
Gil throws upper 90's and has a slider and change, but his command of them is subpar, at least so far in his very short MLB career.

stanton sits against bassitt so judge gets a day off in CF. stanton 1-4 w a double against bassitt. over his last 7 games, he's as hot as any yankee batting .357 w a 1.150 OPS 3 HR 8 RBI and even more importantly only a 16% K rate. stanton does seem to be seeing the ball batter lately and hasn't been chasing that slider out of the zone as much during this stretch.
guess it's good to get grisham some ABs to hopefully get him untracked as much as he can get untracked but grisham for stanton is not something i wanna see right now.

Grisham is, or should be, a late inning defensive replacement. For those who believe Cashman wanted him...more likely SD required Yanks to take him to complete the Soto deal. |

He’s likely to be dealt away as soon as Dominguez proves capable of playing. Right now he’s a wasted roster space that is only on the team to get Judge off his feet for a day or two here and there. Dominguez’ return will give us an extra outfielder, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen when that comes about, but there’s time to assess that situation… |

Bob, I forget what thread we were on when we were discussing Ohtani, but my final statement having thought the situation through and not a knee-jerk reaction like my last one was which you rightfully called me out on is: They’re is ONE rule that’s important enough that it’s posted in every clubhouse in MLB. Don’t gamble. It doesn’t matter if he only bet kn his team to win, or if he only bet by proxy. The point of the rule is that you NEVER put yourself in a position where you — and therefore, the integrity of the game — can be compromised. If he did that in any way I will have no further use for him and wish him to be banished. If he didn’t and was truly the victim of theft by his interpreter, he may have learned a lesson about trusting, but verifying… and he’s good with me at that point. We’ve all been there before, though only a few of us have his salary and bank account to watch… |

Yanks started the day 2 1/2 up on the O's, 3 up on the Red Sox and Rays, and 4 up on the Jays, but have already gained a 1/2 game on Boston, which lost the early Patriots' Day game in Boston, 6-0 to the Guardians. Same story for the Sox, their starter threw a great game: Kutter Crawford threw 5 2/3 shutout innings, allowing just 2 hits and no BB and striking out 6, but all four relievers gave up 1 or 2 runs each in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings.
O's scored two in the first, lead the Twins, 2-0 top 2nd in Baltimore. The Angels got two singles in their half of the 1st but didn't score that Rays game is 0-0 bottom 1st.

I appreciate that, and I’m not one to mind at all to be challenged to explain or rethink my position. It’s a good mental exercise for any of us, and a reminder that our words carry weight. The more careful we are with those words the more weight the words carry. Imagine being Ohtani right now having to pick and choose what to say in front of tens of millions of people vs. in front of this rather intimate group of posters. Not speaking is the coward’s way out, but that most likely comes under his attorneys’ advice. One wrong word in a language that is not your native tongue could light a fuse. |

Volpe...
0-1 sinker inside jams Volpe, his soft chop is taken by Guerrero and he beats Volpe to the bag, 1 down.

Soto...
Sinker outside corner, 0-1
Change hits the bottom of the zone, 0-2
Sinker inside and up, and Soto barely misses, flies out to Keirmeier in pretty deep right of center, 2 down.
