I'm not positive on the COVID roster rules, but I think they can call Gill back up for his next start without waiting the standard 10 days. I think so too. |

I just watched Ridings’ inning again. This guy’s breaking stuff is late, his fastball is an easy 97-101, and he doesn’t walk batters. Gil still needs a little work, though teams like the Rays would have him do that at the major league level with his stuff, but it’s not the Yankees’ way. Ridings, though, needs to stay up on the big club. He could just be another late inning guy like Loaisiga.

We may be able to work around that since his hits per nine were about the same, but do expect him to walk some guys. Gil was so surprisingly smooth. He reminded me of Dievi’s first few MLB starts, only instead of have a deceptive fast ball that got on you quicker than you thought, he had a fastball that was explosively fast… |

A lot to like about last night's game. 7-13 with runners in scoring position, only 3 runners left on base, 5 strikeouts in 38 plate appearances and excellent pitching. What a difference a day makes.

This team is looking better after the AS break. I love the addition of Rizzo, and some of the young talent from the minors getting a chance. The Yankee announcers seemed quite impressed with both Gil and Ridding. The opposing scouts will study the tape for any pitch-tipping before their next appearance, so we will see if they can keep repeating those outings. Go Yankees. |

He reminded me of Dievi’s first few MLB starts, only instead of have a deceptive fast ball that got on you quicker than you thought, he had a fastball that was explosively fast… That was in 2019. He only has 4 walks and 42 strikeouts in 2021. Last night, he fell behind the first batter 3-0, then came back to strike him out. Three strikeouts, one hit, no walks. There’s some tenacity in this guy. He’s 6’ 8” tall, and tall pitchers can get out of sync, but this is how he is pitching now and has been all season. The Yankees take too much caution with their prospects. Seemingly, they are never ready enough, that is unless there’s an injury or the cupboard is bare. Then, they screw around with them until they are stultified during competition from overthinking about mechanics or are just a plain mess. Ridings is pitching well NOW. And, the Yankees have lost enough close games in the late innings. Is there any doubt this guy would be in the majors if he were in a Rays uniform? Or, any other uniform except Pinstripes? I’m surprised Boston wasn’t able to pick him up in the Rule V draft like Garrett Whitlock. Meanwhile, Deivi Garcia went from a control pitcher to having no command at all. |

I just hope he doesn’t tell the press he pitches like his hair is on fire… when he threw his first pitch at 101 Ben McDonald on the Oriole Broadcast sounded like he almost fell out of his chair, even though it was ball one. A lot to like. I sure hope he stays, too. I always think about the guys like Dwight Gooden and Vida Blue that enjoyed long term success, but we’re never as good as those amazing first season or two. Bring em up. Get em in the games while they’re young and frisky and flexible. I hear the term 24 or 25 year old rookie too often when a Yankee pitcher makes his debut… |

I hear the term 24 or 25 year old rookie too often when a Yankee pitcher makes his debut… Both Gooden and Blue had drug problems, which prevented Hall of Fame careers. Ridings is 25 years old. I often wonder if Vlad Jr. and Tatis, Jr. would still be in the minors with the Yankees. Maybe not Tatis, since Gleyber was brought up early. |

I must not have heard them announce Ridings age last night. Or maybe I did and it prompted me to recall that I hear 25 year old rookie too often. I hope he stays. To me, at 25 he’s pretty much what he’s gonna be. Shit or get off the pot time, young man. Bring the cheese 🧀… |
