Another day, another injury. First Encarnacion gets hit on the wrist, then Hicks goes down, now Urshela (who I've heard is supposed to play today) and then Torres. Geez, can the playoffs start already before someone else goes on the DL!? Urshela and Torres injuries don’t seem serious so that’s a huge relief. You are right, above all we need to stay healthy. I am concerned about the Encarnacion injury those. Wrist injuries tend to zap the power of hitters and that's what Edwin is. I think we will be ok with or without him. Just need to keep hitting. And we need our starting pitching to hold up to get to the pen.

And we need our starting pitching to hold up to get to the pen. That's going to be the difference this year between us winning or losing. Hope we get Severino and Betances back soon so they can get some innings under them before the playoffs start. Wouldn't mind seeing Daivi Garcia called up next month either to see how he does. Can't be much worse than the way everyone else has been pitching as of late. Tanaka had a 6-1 lead the other night (against Baltimore) and coughed it up. Luckily the Yankees held on but still. To Baltimore!? That’s what happens when our offense keeps pressing. We can overcome mis-steps from starters. When we strikeout in an abundance like last season then we tend to suffer offensively. We’ve really turned into a better contact hitting team thanks to LeMahieu, Urshela and others.

Those fill in guys have been the difference thus far this season with all the injures we've had (especially to our top players). I still don't think Cashman and the rest of the front office get enough credit for taking a chance on these guys, many of whom were throwaways from other teams.

And if the yanks win the series this year then they will and we won’t hear the end of it.

I hope so. Boone deserves a lot of credit as well with the lineup. I just hope they get healthy in time for the playoffs because despite the amount of injures so far this season, they're still the best team in the AL and tied with the Dodgers for best in the league! That's incredible. Getting home field advantage through the postseason is a must Absolutely! Especially against Houston. I still feel if we had home field advantage in 2017 we would have won that series.

What happened with Gardner last night? Got thrown out for hitting his bat against the dugout again? Or was he mistaken for someone else shouting from the dugout? He was acting like a Jerk

The past 2 games. Hope they can at least salvage it. Was surprised German got knocked around in his outing. It seems as though Stanton hasn’t played in ages. Would love to see him back in the lineup. He hasn't. He's only played 9 games so far this season (31 plate appearances). But I'm hearing he's getting close to coming back and should rejoin the team next month and get some reps in before the playoffs begin, barring a setback of course. The past 2 games. Hope they can at least salvage it. Was surprised German got knocked around in his outing. They really looked completely out of character against the As based on the way they’ve been playing this season. Hitting just wasn’t there. Pitching wasn’t too good either but I was especially surprised by the lack of production at the plate. They looked great last night from what I saw on the highlights. They lit Ryu up! Great bounce back win after getting swept by Oakland.
