Still do! But he still sucks on defense, and he's been way hotter in the second half.

It's unbelievable the number of AAA players they are starting every night in a pennant race. Cashman could've filled some of these holes...

Engel is a piece of poo poo.

Turns out that when you try to win big games with multiple players in your lineup who aren't major league hitters, those guys come up in big spots and cost you games. Who would've thunk it...

Dirty takeout slide of Torres at second. They should bean him.

There's no video on Gameday so absent any evidence to the contrary I'll assume my beautiful home run-robbing son with the creepy circus walk-up music was just moving faster than his teeny frame could stop and is now sorry if he scared you.

E: Careful what you wish for, E1 nailing him in the rear end on the pickoff attempt.

Im really glad I tuned in just in time for the 1st and 2nd, no out rally with higeshioka and torreyes due up next.

Are any of the injured guys coming back any time soon or is this it for the foreseeable future?

You don't get a consistent effort from this team every night. That's why they keep embarrassing themselves vs the dregs of baseball over and over.

I’m a little worried about Judge. He is still experiencing pain in his hand, so he hasn’t even started swinging a bat yet. The minor league seasons are pretty much done, too, so he’ll have to rehab in simulated games (or up in the majors). He probably won’t be 100% for the playoffs.

did u ever think it's because they're missing a third of the lineup and are playing AAA bats to keep the flexibility alive

like seriously the team is 15-11 this month, and 16-6 since the five game losing streak, give it a rest already

No they are the worst team in baseball, a good baseball team goes 162-0 and if the yankees dont go undefeated then the team is an unmitigated failure.

Judge should be back around September 11 (never forget) and Gary and Didi are back next week. This team is going to be fine and healthy in time for the playoffs, which is all that matters.

I'm not taking any Judge return dates seriously until he's at least taking BP.

Worst case he just hits one-handed and the ball only goes 405 feet instead of 450.

They were 5 back yesterday and had at least a longshot chance of catching Boston and not having to play the WC game...

This post is as good as Greg Bird this season.

Getting knocked around the park by a bottom 3 lineup in baseball while getting 1 hit by a pitcher who has been TERRIBLE all season. Blocking me won't change any of that...

Andujar is the only yankee with a pulse as usual these days.

Nope. It's not lumped. You actually have to give your credit card and it's charged 9 bucks a month.
