    4/15: Gil vs. Bassitt

    Yeah, I was a little critical of Flaherty yesterday, probably my least favorite Yankees broadcaster. Seems like a jerk. However, I will say one positive thing about him: he was better than I thought he would be doing the play-by-play stuff instead of the analyst bit most former players stick...

    It is high....it is far....John Sterling is gone from the Yankees broadcast booth

    I’ll miss Sterling. We’ve talked about him a bunch over the years, good and bad. Like Rizzuto was, he’s been a part of my fandom for a very long time. I appreciate his work and enjoyed the banter he had with Waldman. It was a comfortable listening experience. I hope his health is ok and he...

    Still, another series win on the road. On to Toronto.

    This soon-to-be loss is definitely due to poor defense all damn day. A lot of poor execution even beyond obvious errors.

    Yeah, I saw a replay. You're right. Dogging it probably isn't the right description, but Verdugo's situational awareness or baseball IQ or whatever you want to call doesn't seem especially high.

    I guess I looked away and missed that. Did he really dog it down the line?

    That was good defense from Cleveland.

    Look, there's gotta be obstacles for Cabrera to overcome on his hero's journey. Hopefully Verdugo or Trevino can get on base before he comes up third.

    Soto is not exactly a gazelle out in RF, is he? At least he makes most of the plays.

    Nestor ran out of gas pretty quickly over the last inning. I guess I'm not surprised after he had a long outing his previous start and it is still early in the season.

    Flaherty seems like an odd dude. When he calling yesterday's game he had an awkward sidebar with Jeff Nelson about the trivia question where he put Nelson on the spot about looking up the answer on the computer. It was all joking around, but it came off as a little strange to me. Like he was...

    I was just about to post how Nestor's location was looking really good and that he was putting the ball right where Trevino wants it. And then two pitches in a row to Ramirez where he missed by a lot, the second of which ended up in the seats. Not great.

    Also, thanks crom for holding down the fort mostly solo lately.

    I'm starting to worry a little less about the daytime offense. Daytime defense may be an issue, but it looks like the guys are having good at bats.
