To be perfectly clear, I was solidly against the Yankees acquiring Taijan Walker last winter. He’s been too pedestrian, I said. He’s injured all the time, I said. Hmm. 6-3; 2.38. Not a bad first half. I hope Yankee batters give be some support, because right now I’m feeling a little dumb on this matter. Let’s score enough against this guy to give that ERA at least a bit of a jolt, okay?… Brian Cashman didn't want him either. Perhaps worse, he not only didn't make a move to get lifelong Yankee fan Marcus Stroman when he was available, he had to throw in a typically gratuitous insult that Stroman "wasn't a difference maker." Full disclosure-- I wasn't terribly interested in Stroman either, but I'm not getting paid a small fortune to be General Manager of the Yankees. Anyway, Stroman's 157 ERA+ and 1.109 WHIP would look pretty good right about now. |

Instead Cashman gave millions to Kluber, who is a good pitcher, but to the surprise of no one, is spending a lot of time on the injured list. He then wasted more money on old relievers, Wilson and O'Day. The jam the Yankees find themselves in starts at the top. |

I suppose it’s likely that the numbers Walker and Strohman (who maxes on helluva loaf of bread by the way) would be modified a bit had they started the year with Yankees. They would have been regularly seeing the DH and regularly pulled in the fifth inning… |

Good job by Gumby. Bend but don’t break…
I’m surprised that I actually had a Gumby. I was probably four or five years old when I got it… I had a Slinky, too. Those two were heavily advertised on TV…

Credit Monty for not folding on a tough at bat from McCann. Credit Cone for calling the change up outside!

Great high 4 seamer to strike out Alonso!
