Guys been huge for us, as have others (Urshela comes to mind). Glad DJ didn't get snubbed with the All-Star nomination (Gleyber too)

Really dropped the ball in game 1 against the rays yesterday. Would be nice to pull out a win tonight and tomorrow.

Yea if you remember he won a batting title in Denver too. I really wished the Rockies would have kept him, but with all the hype of Brendan Rodgers and Garrett Hampson we decided he was expendable and as I figured he's killing it. I'm happy for him though, he didn't do anything wrong so like Tulo I hope he does well. Now Rodgers tore his shoulder up and is out for the year and Hampson only plays when McMahon (another youngster) sits and even though I had high hopes for Hampson he's simply not getting the at bats that he should. He easily runs 1st to 3rd in 6.48 is what they clocked him at two nights ago but he'll never learn playing once a week. McMahon has hype because he batted like .400 to beat Hampson out for 2nd in the spring but as I figured he's hitting like .245 now just like the last couple of years and he'll never be more than that. Oddly enough hitting is hurting the Rockies more than usual and the main reason they are back under .500 Of course the pitching is horrendous but keep looking for this name, German Marquez. I have a feeling the Rockies will try to deal him or Jon Gray eventually and Marquez is the ace. His numbers will not blow you away because of playing in Denver but the guy has #2-#3 legit starter all over him. He has a nasty cutter and slider. The key seems to be power pitchers in Denver but we can't seem to draft one that knows "how" to pitch. Just throwing hard doesn't cut it.

Gray has great stuff

Pulled off a great win last night. Today got rained out. Tampa's not going away. I have a feeling they're going to be nibbling on our heels the rest of the season.

The Yankees found that out about Michael Pineda. The guy has great stuff but can't consistently put it together from start-to-start

Took 3 out of 4 from Tampa and increased our lead over them to 8 games, with Boston now 10 back! Plus a 2 1/2 game lead over Houston for the best record in the AL and tied with the Dodgers for the best in all of baseball. It's still early, but I love the way this team is playing!

Great story on DJ or as y'all call him now, The Machine! I'm happy for him, I really am and he's still loved in Denver. It still pisses me off they thought he was expendable. $12 million was more than enough to keep him in Denver, but it also explains why the Rockies are losing too letting talent leave like that for cheap prices.

Revis, Gray does have good stuff but he just can't seem to put it all together in Denver. I think we could flip him for two good arms or a good young 2nd baseman/outfielder. The pitching situation really can't get any worse for the Rockies at this point. If we trade Marquez though I'm done. LOL. But I think he could be gone once he becomes a free agent.

Yanks kinda took a chance on him though. A lot of people I think thought he couldn't hit outside of Colorado. But yes, the Yankees scooped up another diamond. I honestly don't believe Cashman and the team gets enough credit for the moves they make sometimes (Didi, DJ, Urshela, etc.).

I understand that too, but most of the time hitting in Denver involves with more home runs than say batting average. It's hard to win a batting title no matter where you play and he unfairly got that label. Just like Nolan Arenado catches hell about his home run totals even though he hits more on the road than he does at home.

I hear that. Same with the Yankees because of their dimensions. I've suggested having the fence be the same length at every ballpark, to make it more uniform and fair, but that was shot down by others. Baseball is the only sport where the size of the playing field changes from park to park. Think about it, football, basketball, hockey, they're all the same. Baseball is the only sport where the size of the field changes from city to city.

I could see both sides of that argument. Marquez is pitching pretty good today against the Yanks. Hopefully the pen doesn't blow this one

I'm happy with 2 out of 3. Another series win.

So am I. Big series against the Twins. 4 games, both teams could make a big move for starting pitching before the deadline.

CC had a terrible game last night. 4 home runs!?

Great come from behind win yesterday for the Yankees. Way to grind it out! The pitching needs to settle down and stop surrendering so many home runs lately.

Man the Yankees need pitching. The last 5 games have been laughable for the rotation. Nobody's pitched well and has been giving up too many homeruns! Only 4 more days until the trade deadline. Let's see what Cashman has up his sleeve. I'm hoping they don't trade Fraizer or the kid in Double A they're raving about, Deivi Garcia. They're comparing him to Pedro Martinez.

Kind of an odd start to the trading deadling. Stroman to the Mets? Bauer to the Reds? What's going on here?

I am surprised at the reds getting Bauer. Cashman didn’t pull the trigger on anyone. We will know if he was right or wrong when we see how the postseason plays out. They have been slumping lately but I think they will bounce back.

Yeah they've been in a real bad slump lately but I'm glad they held on to the prospects (especially Frazier and Garcia). Like you said, time will tell. Hopefully we can maybe get Jordan Montgomery, Severino or Losiagna back soon.

If Garcia is the real deal then it looks like he’ll be up in a month to help out.

Yeah when the rosters expand in September he could get a shot. I just hope they don't rush him is all.

I had the Yanks cruising to the Series until the 'Stros robbed Greinke from the D'backs. Houston has a NASTY pitching rotation!

Still a lot of baseball to be played and remember, we should still be getting Severino and Betances back before the end of the season. The Yankees have the 2nd best record in the AL with a league leading amount of players on the DL AND without their ace all season.

Great series against Boston. A sweep could really help us get on a roll.

Would love to see it! These last 3 games puts Boston squarely out of contention for the division this year me thinks. Only hope for the playoffs would be a wild card.

Great series. Minus Torres and Urshela being hurt. Thinking they’ll be ready soon.

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.
