Holy crap! Renfroe with the SLAM! yes! BEAT LA! GET YO ASSES BACK UP THE 5! Best game I’ve ever been to in person. The ebb and flow. Wins are wins though I guess. Great game and killer finish, still waiting for Renfroe to emerge with consistency but he certainly has shown the promise. Pimped that one too. I was telling my wife that this is the spot where you put Renfroe and BAM! I also told her this this is part where the Padres leave runners on the base so.. LOL!

Let’s not pretend it wasn’t competitive. Those games could have gone either way.

I think besides Lacey Evans; Luke Voit might be my new favorite human being.

Lacey Evans? Ew. Luuuuke is pretty cool though. That Gio Urshela is ight too, and a happy fella. Gio Urshela has been amazing. People act like it's a fluke or he's over-performing and this might die down....but maybe not. Maybe this is the player he is when he gets the chance to play every day. He's never been an every day player before. He'd never played more than 81 games in his career and even with the 27 he's played with us so far this year he's still only played in 194 games TOTAL for his career AND he's only 27 years old. Some guys figure it out later than others, and other people need a chance to play every day. I don't know if 148 games with Cleveland and 19 with Toronto showed us who Gio Urshela REALLY was.....he's getting that chance now with the Yankees and he's cashing in. Same thing with Voit....it looked like a throw away trade last year, Chasen Shreve traded just for the sake of getting rid of him because he sucked so bad and let's just get this Luke Voit guy because he's a first basemen and we've had the worst production in MLB at first base the last few season with Teixeira's injuries, Bird's injuries, people like Garrett Cooper, Chris Carter, Tyler Austin, Ji-Man Choi,...we even tried Headley there. None of it worked. So we get this Voit guy, who like Urshela, really had no career numbers to speak of because he'd never been a starter. So who really knew what to expect? Voit had only played 70 career games over the course of 2 seasons with St. Louis. Now, Luke Voit has cranked out 24 home runs and 62 RBI's in 74 games with the Yankees and he's a star. And DJ LeMahieu is awesome as well. He's a guy I've wanted the Yankees to get for years ever since we didn't bring back Cano. He's a star. Obviously you never want injuries, but the make up of this team seems really strong. The organizational depth that Cashman has built up has allowed the Yankees to not only tread water, but THRIVE into a winning team while missing players such as Luis Severino (ACE), Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton (two of the best power hitters in ALL of MLB), Did Gregorius (one of the best SS in the game), Betances (one of the best RP in the game), and Aaron Hicks who projected to be our starting Center Fielder. We'll see if Jonathan Loasiga can help fill in for James Paxton for a few starts. Early season Yankee heros: Domingo German - Giving you everything and more that we hoped we'd be getting from LUIS SEVERINO. He's stepped in and been THE Ace. Urshela and LeMahieu - Great infield defense, clutch hitting from them both. Tommy Khanle - This is the guy we traded for in 2017. He's been a real stopper. Luke Voit - Continues to pound the ball and prove that LUKE IS NO FLUKE! I'm hoping the Yankees can avoid any further critical injuries, continue to play well, and when we get guys like Stanton, Judge, Betances and Severino back I'm hoping then we can really go on a massive roll and really start obliterating teams. Yanks are having good games, they are scrappy, and they are gutting these games out and finding a way to win, but when we get all those guys back and if everyone stays healthy...we should start really blowing teams away on a regular basis. And Lacey Evans is smokin' hot:

Voit just continues to mash, its amazing. He's seriously reminding me of Jason Giambi in his prime, and thats not a bad thing. I'm a big fan of that kid and I hope he's not just a fluke and will be a productive first baseman on this team for years. The "Greg Bird Experience" is over, at this point his trade value is a 3 pack of cracker jacks, so when he's healthy he should be sent to AAA, and hope he can rake there so we can trade him for some "cash considerations"

I long for the day Bob Nutting has an unfortunate accident at one of his ski resorts and this team can get into the hands of a proper owner.

Andujar back on the IL. Maybe they'll give him the surgery now. He clearly couldn't hit since he's been back so clearly there is an issue there. Let's stop screwing around and just do the surgery and maybe he'll be ready for next season. He's going to need the surgery anyway, so the longer they "rehab" this and he comes back and can't play and goes back on the IL, wash, rinse, repeat,....they are just costing him games for NEXT SEASON.

Yes, get it over with. They tried what they tried, and clearly it wasn't gonna be good enough unfortunately, so get surgery and fix it. We've got DJ and Gio, we'll be good. Especially when Didi is back.

Especially when Didi is back. Exactly. Yanks are fine from a middle IF perspective (knock on wood, bc we said that about OF's last year and then EVERYONE got hurt and we had Shane Robinson out there for 25 games, lol). We've got DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres, Gio Urshela, Thairo Estrada, Tyler Wade, and like you said, Didi is coming back. And who knows about Tulo, but maybe he gets back at some point.

My Nats suck the biggest one. Do you think Strasburg might get traded if they fall out of contention? He has 2 opt outs and even if he doesnt use them, he has 4 yrs/$100 million remaining on his deal, which isnt that bad for most teams to take on.

Yoenis Cespedes slipped, fell on his ass at his ranch, shattered his ankle and is most likely out for the rest of the year. Thats $27.5 million for 0 games played.

i cant even believe how good the Yankees are playing this year. there was at one point what? 17 guys on the injured list? they lost their starting 3b and uncrowned Rookie of the Year from 2018, their starting Ace pitcher, Aaron Judge AND Giancarlo stanton....just those 4 alone would normally cripple a team to Orioles levels of bad
yet here they are, more than halfway through May sitting in 1st place.
what an amazing season so far

Just in: Josh Bell is playing so well and keeping the Pirates alive and kicking that he's been traded to the New York Yankees for a three day old, canned mushroom pizza by Pirates owner Bob Nutting.
I expect this to be real news any day now.
