Yarbrough is one of the most underrated players on the team. How he gets guys out with the slop he throws is anyone's guess.
Yankees 2025 Season
- Thread starter espken
- Start date
Teams don't see pitchers like that too often. When he's facing them for the first time, it can throw an offense off.
Probably a better weapon in the starting rotation than out of the bullpen, since he can't afford to miss over the plate. If that happens, at the speed he throws, it's probably not going to get hit for a single, if you know what I mean. A starter can overcome that, but a bullpen guy might not be able to.
Apparently, Weaver was unavailable tonight due to a hamstring issues. Hopefully, it's just tightness.
Dominguez also left injured. Jammed his thumb. He'll go for tests when they get back to New York.
The Yankees are now finished with the NL West completely (they went 7-8), and have only 19 games remaining outside of the Eastern Time Zone (3 of which are next week in Kansas City, so it's only 16 after that). Their latest scheduled start time from now to the end of the regular season, is 8:15 pm Eastern Time.
Used to be I got excited when my team had a new pitcher that could throw gas but now with everyone throwing heat I’m excited to see a junk baller.
Good win last night to finish a 6-3 road trip. Which is what I was hoping for before the trip. Have to say that Fried and Warren getting exposed concerned me. Hope they get back on track with the Guardians and Red Sux coming to town.
Who was that guy in the DJLM uniform?
Hopefully the Dominguez and Weaver hurts are minor and not longterm.

I'd like to see Cruz get the first shot at it.

Cruz can lose the strike zone a little too often for my tastes as a closer.
Blake just needs to tell Williams that it's the 8th inning and not the 9th, and the problem will be solved.
