That ball would have only gone out of 2 ballparks this one and LAA.

If you added Montgomery to Coles column, the difference would be even scarier... |

Only the Texas Rangers have a worse record in the America League than the Yankees. And, Rougned Odor couldn’t make their team. I know, it’s early.

While the record and starting pitching are concerning, I'm more perplexed by the lack of offense. Hicks and Bruce are ensconced in the line-up and they only get a hit every 3 or 4 games. Stanton is in a funk. No one is tearing it up. Maybe it will turn around. I think the pitching settles down. We've got a lot of guys that haven't pitched in 2 years

That lineup Boone put out there today was one of the worse I have seen in years. In what universe does Hicks lead off?

Maybe he will get better. |

I can't watch weekday afternoon games but maybe it was a good thing that I missed this one. That said, I just don't get this organization. We are only two weeks into the regular season, the Yankees are off tomorrow and they need to start winning games, yet D.J. and Stanton were both on the bench. Seriously, do healthy players even want two consecutive days off during the season?

Pippsheadache here. I didn't know this was a day game, but reading about it I think my time was better spent anyway running errands.
Who is dictating this bizarre rest policy? Boone or the front office? My guess is the suits, and Boone just dutifully obeys. In any event after a mere 12 games nobody has played in all of them and only LeMahieu has missed just one. Twelve freaking games and they act like it's the dog days of August.
Resting three starters against a key division rival with an off-day tomorrow is just nuts. The franchise that gave us The Iron Horse and Mantle playing with blood seeping through his uniform and the Yankee Clipper gutting it out with a bone spur in his heel has to have nap time for perfectly healthy players less than two weeks into the season.
What would Miller Huggins say? Hell, what would Joe Girardi say? Man I'm in the wrong century.
BTW I still can't log in because I am told my user name is invalid. No big deal, I can post as a guest. I'll just think of myself as a special guest if you don't mind.

You know what, Orpheus? If I had may way, we’d have nine starting offensive players that would never get a day off. And our four starting pitchers would combine to start and complete 162 games. The bench and bullpen could sit there and cut out little paper dolls...
