Making Giolito this year look like Tortuga with easy 97-99 mph high octane. Moncada...could see him consciously realizing he should get the hell away from Anderson.

98... Lost a bit of the feel for his slider location...#9 with the recovery on 3-2. Pitch count more of an enemy than Yankees.

Rodon on pace for 28 starts...already three behind Cole. Conserving him for second half/playoffs.

99....

He has gone 4, 4, 2 earned runs last three....

Garcia on the Rangers if he’s still a rookie. Randy Arrozarena, Yermin, Wander Franco, Kelenic...

One of the Maine high schools...or the one where Hahn went, some connection there.

Abreu not picking up the ball at all...

Please don’t give us Leury at second base when Engel returns. Give Mendick a legit extended opportunity for once.

Let him show some emotions...the biggest rap before was that he was like a robot out there. In past years, those runs score seemingly 75-85% of the time with that big of a defensive miscue.

Maybe...but it’s really hard to break through and get that first one when your rep is bat first, below average defender in the early part of your career. Rodon getting REALLY emotional there with the K....shouting over the crowd.

Nice throw by Abreu. LaRussa had the corners in, middle infield conceding.

Shades of Game 3 last year...

Madrigal rushing yet another throw...SIGH.

Nice hustle, Madrigal. Montgomery brought his A game tonight as well, that curveball can be downright nasty.

Burger with his 5th homer. .208/.817 Mahtook with his second.

Katz has really worked on Rodon’s lower half....getting him to work more efficiently. Better leg extension and drive, less stiff, momentum right through to the target instead of falling off to the sides or losing balance. FB average up from 92.8 to 95. Better riding action, elite spin rate for first time on his four seamer. LHB 2/26 against Rodon. Odor and Gardner should struggle.

Will need to make his second big adjustment or face going down for Goodwin...or Sox trade. Yankees also missing Hicks (along with Stanton), could be out for most of the year.

Also brought up Tino Martinez being hit by Armando Benitez...similar retribution HBP, fractured or chipped his scapula and he was never the same again. What if Yermin was sitting on the DL tonight, out for weeks with a broken wrist?

“When a position player is on the mound, all bets are off.” David Cone Let the kids play. Have fun, brought up the Rizzo outing for the Cubs. Also, that Madison Bumgarner would be one of those rare enforcers of the glory days rules.

Rodon campaigning to start the ASG with that opening. Nasty sliders. Only one hit in 37 this year on that pitch, and that was of the infield variety.

Grandal getting lots of off days this year. Collins against LHP usually no bueno. Garcia keeps getting Lion’s share of PT. Nearing a Mendick/Eaton platoon in RF. Abreu and TA7 both 2/6 against Montgomery, Hamilton 0/3. Not much to go on there.

Yankees are pursuing Delino DeShields...basically a slightly better Leury.

Might want to stay out of crypto, too...some seismic changes taking place.

RayRay going all CIA/Snowden...
