Well, Gary Sanchez was exciting. The problem was CC in today’s finale against the Jays; he got clobbered and the Yankees ended up losing two of three. I must admit I was hoping the momentum of having all the kids up at the major league level would give the team a boost, but the lack of consistent pitching and timely hitting is still a problem.
This is the tough part of being in a rebuilding phase. You have to deal with the reality that the team isn’t a juggernaut just yet. There are too many missing pieces – pieces Cashman will need to address in the off-season. McCann seems to be on the bubble and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him leave. Headley made another error today (he’s having an Eduardo Scissorhands kind of year), so I’d love an upgrade at third. And I know it’s sacrilegious to say this but is Brett Gardner pulling his weight these days? Not so sure.
Anyway, it’s on to Anaheim for a series against the Angels. May the rally monkey be on vacation.
The new kids have been very exciting. Sorry to see them lose a series at home but what can you do. They’re still like 6 games out of the post-season but there’s still time. Let’s hope they get lucky and that the pitching does what it needs to do to support the bats that have come alive. GO YANKEES!!!
Six games and not much time, Diane. They need a real winning streak. Would be great to see.
