NY YANKEES - 2021

- Start date
Really bad loss tonight. Again no hitting with RISP, too many LOB. Once again the pitching was more than good enough to win. Torres at SS will kill this team as long as they leave him out there. 17 Orioles struck out and they had 4 hits and yet they won. Like I said, bad loss.
Urshela was taking grounders at short in spring training. Might be time to try him over there, with Torres at 2B, and DJ shifting over to third.Delaware post=430875 said:
The major problem with Torres is that he just doesn't seem to have the arm strength to play short. Even when his throws get outs, Bruce (and before him Voit) have to reach out to make sure they get it. That's something that's not going to get much better, even with work.
Even worse, is that, like last year, he has been taking those defensive struggles to the plate with him.
game 7.
for the first time in this young season, the pitchers let the team down.
but the gloves were terrible.
wade at second lets 2 grounders to his left play him.
dj at third makes a fine scoop on a slow grounder and then throws the ball away.
torres runs a long way for a popup then runs past the ball.
the tauch poorly plays a ball over his head that gardy probably gets to.
clint poorly plays a ball that hits the wall that is #99's signature play.
all the above plays lead directly to rays runs.

game 8.
rays continue to dominate the yanks.
yanks bats ice cold. few hits, fewer runs.
maybe they should have sent to scranton the starting lineup.
german gave up a foul pole homer, and a blast to center field.
the other 2 runs were walk, hit batter, and comeback to mound that went off german's glove.
kraken should never/never/never throw to first trying to pick off a runner.
the daily torres-will make-an*error award goes to gio.

game 10.
higgy hot and hotter. kraken who.
higgy had 2 gettys, each over 400 feet.
yanks played like boone mapped it.
starter goes 5 or 6 innings. lights out bullpen takes over. yanks sticks eke out a few runs.
cashman gets another one week extension as recently acquired odor eater does well in back to back games.
