Yanks, and especially the bullpen, get a much needed day off tomorrow before the Jays come in to the Bronx, fresh off losing three of four to the O's. Yanks won't have to face Kikuchi, now with the Astros, and also miss nemesis Chris Bassitt, who pitched yesterday (unless they push Bowden back in the 3rd game to pitch Bassitt on normal rest). And we fans won't have to deal with FOX, ESPN or Prime Video. All 3 games on YES. YAY!
1st game is Friday evening at 7:07 pm. Kevin Gausman another past Yankees nemesis starts for the Jays. He's 9-8 on the season with a 4.44 ERA, bbut has pitched well in 3 of his last 4 starts, incluing a complete game 9-3 win over Texas in which he gave up just 4 hits, no BB and struck out 8. Marcus Stroman (7-5, 3.64 ERA) will try to get through 6 innings for the first time in 6 starts. Stroman is 0-2 in his last 5 starts with a 5.64 ERA, and has gotten through 5 in only two of them.
2nd game is a Saturday matinee at 1:07 pm. Jose Berrios (9-8, 3.93 ERA) just ended a run of 4 bad starts in a row, and 7 of 8, with 7 shutout innings for a win against Texas. Carlos Rodon (11-7, 4.34 ERA) will try for his 3rd straight excellent start and win after a dreadful strech of 6 bad starts.
The series finale is the usual delayed 1:37 pm start. Rookie Bowden Francis goes for the Jays. He's back in the rotation after Kikuchi and Richards were sold off, is 4-2 on the season with a 5.64 ERA. He had a passable start in the 2nd game of the doubleheader Monday and got the win. Luis Gil tries to extend his current run of 4 good starts to five for the Yanks. He's now 12-6 on the season with a 3.20 ERA.
OK, that's the series preview. Going to check notifications now.

O's appeared to be revitalized by all the help management brought in, two starters, a reliever or two. And we will continue to watch our starters struggle to go past 5 innings most games then hand it over to a shaky (maybe slightly upgraded with Leiter) bullpen and a lousy closer. Huzzah! <New England accent> Ayup! |

That swing and miss stuff of Leiter's...did he forget to pack it to take with him from Chicago??
He must have heard you.  Barely in time, too, Max.  |

OK, notifications checked and responded to, I'll be getting going
Enjoy the evening.
Enjoy the off-day tomorrow.
Savor the sweetness of a GREAT road sweep against a top competitor, and a great road trip with multiple harrowing wins.
See you all back here Friday evening for the opener against the Jays.
Good afternoon to all.
Bye.

This team has consistently out performed and underperformed expectations. So now we are out performing again not long after getting swept by the Mets.
Strange.

The Yankees seriously only have 5 home wins since June 15th.
Yet are .5 games out of the division lead. (5-13 at home)
In comparison they have 16 wins on the road (16-12) since June 15th.
They also have 45 wins against above .500 opponents nobody else even has 40.
There is potential in this team. Start winning some home games and maybe they can pull away with this division.

Baseball is a funny game. For all the Yankees struggles, they are now once again tied for the most wins in MLB and just swept the bast team of the season so far in their place. I think the Yanks caught some good luck at coming to town when the Phillies are having a slump pf their own and Bryce Harper is scuffling. Also, 2 of these 3 wins were 1-run games. Imagine if the Yankees lost these and all the gloom and doom that would be out there. Either way, the bullpen needs to tighten up and we need Cole, Rodon and Gil to all pitch to their potential if we are going to have any shot in the playoffs. Like many, I just don't think the Yankees did enough at the deadline but I'd love to be proven wrong.

I think their chances of getting to the World Series are fine. Winning it? Totally different question but let's worry about the AL first which the competition seems to be on a similar level than them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk yup ALL teams have flaws and needs which is why after 110 games, we're tied for the most wins w the O's, guardians and phillies. dodgers just got swept by the padres (2-game series). the playing field is rather level. but of course yankee fans only see our flaws and think the other team's grass is greener. certainly think we coulda, shoulda done more at the TDL but the moves he did make should help. whether it's enough. we have 52 games to find out ... |

Totally but even the most optimistic fans like me do wonder if another bullpen piece and starter would have helped. Offense seems fine with jazz at 3rd now and Stanton back.
