7/27: It's all falling to pieces
- Thread starter jon abbey
- Start date
That was really bad baserunning by Jazz. He needed to steal second there to stay out of the DP and also maybe be able to tag up. He never tried and then Gleyber hit the perfect fly to tag up from second to third. He knew this and overcompensated and ran when he shouldn't have and was out, live and learn.
Thanks! I was actually traveling this time, not just strategically ignoring the team.
Somehow feels like we lost this one, basically seemed like the same game as that Orioles one right before the break. Imagine being a Phillies fan tonight, oof.
The Yankees have scored 7+ runs in five straight games within a single season for just the 10th time this century. Haven't done so in 6+ straight since 2007 (seven).
Man, that was awesome. They hit the back end of the Philly bullpen really well overall, easy to miss in this given how many times this game was tied up.

And back to Warren, that couldn't have been a tougher way to debut, very short notice against the scary Phillies in Philly.
He was pretty impressive overall as has been said, shutting down PHI after the bomb in the 2nd and keeping them at 4, but what I was especially impressed by was what he did the third time through the order. As we all know, it's a big hurdle for many young pitchers to pitch effectively the third time they see guys, but Warren struck out Schwarber (end 4) then Turner then Harper then Bohm (end 5), four in a row.

I was having trouble thinking of good Yankee comparisons for Jazz but someone on Twitter said Curtis Granderson and that is very good. Also a lefty hitter and extremely athletic, who developed a ton of power later in his career (consecutive 40 HR seasons at age 30-31). Jazz is in his age 26 season and has 70 career HRs, Granderson had just 50 at that point and ended up with 344.
Granderson is good. I was thinking that Chisholm reminds me a little of (a left-handed) Alphonso Soriano, but maybe I'm too focused on that HR Soriano hit to start his career with the Yankees.
yankees will win the AL east unless they get on a cold steak if jazz keep this up does that mean we can play hardball with soto i wouild not but we have S Jones and J Domingez that will need at bats in the OF if we did sign juan long term them we couild filp S Jones to det for subal
He's not as big and athletic as Granderson, and probably not as talented. Granderson had 84 (!!) extra base hits in his age 26 season and was 2nd in the entire AL in WAR. Those 40+ HR seasons had some foreshadowing.
I actually think Jazz may profile more like a mid-career Brett Gardner. Not the same player, but both 5-11 speedy lefty hitters with pull power (Chisholm with more). Brett did somehow hit 28 HRs that one is-the-ball-juiced year.
Yankees up 4-0 so far. Stanton 2 for 2, DJ with a grand slam. Offense outside of Judge/Soto/Jazz is nice.
Nestor looks good too.

That was the first of his career, also the first HR recent All-Star Sanchez has given up at home all year.
After Friday’s loss to Boston, I thought the pinstripers could possibly lose the next five. But then Boston caved in and Yanks caught Philly in its first slump of the season. They look like the Yanks did for most of July.
After 5 straight wins, Yankees still have a few problems but morale is good again. Everyone was so happy for DJ. Jazz is happy all the time. Gleyber is just playing out his string. So what? He can get days off if he drags the team down. I still think you must have a good backup plan before you banish Gleyber..

Too many defensive plays that cost NY runs, I refuse to believe they would not be better with Peraza at 2B every day.
He didn't get an error for it, but Gleyber botched another play today. Given how fragile the pitching has been, I think tightening up the defense and helping the pitchers out is worth more than what Gleyber gives the team offensively. Seems like a low bar to clear.
Edit: And of course there is still an issue with backup SS. Bring up Peraza.
2nd edit: I guess I'm saying DFA Gleyber. That's the roster spot.

DJ earned himself a start or two at 2B, Jazz is going to play 3B for now and Rice 1B.
Next game is Stroman vs Gausman in NY on Friday, Stroman needs infielders to make plays behind him and that infield might be the best defensive one NY would have put behind him so far (Jazz/Volpe/DJ/Rice).

Also I forgot to say it last night, NY is not good at Manfred Man extra inning games usually but I really like that rule. They should obviously never institute it for a postseason game but I think it works great in regular season games, it's exciting.
I don't mind the rule, but partially because I hold the unpopular opinion that extra innings are kind of anticlimactic and not that fun.
It's open ended, the players generally want to go home, the pitchers get successively worse as the bullpens empty, and it's just kind of a fail-off until somebody finally ekes something out and mercifully ends it. The Manfred rule at least abbreviates that a bit
The Phillies could easily have won two of three if their top 4 hitters had done anything at all. Harper was hitless for the series. Now they go to Seattle and then LAD. Schedule is not letting up. Braves and Braves are showing up in rear view mirror.
DJ knocks in 6 and goes back to the bench, what incriminating documents does Gleyber have on Cashman?

It’s been decades, but once again I love Jazz.

It seems like so many big fish from small ponds come to New York and just can't do the work. It's nice to feel confident about a kid like Chisholm who rolls in with some swagger and is ready to take on the world. I don't think the environment is too big for him. It's going to be fun.
Still don't like him learning 3B on the job though, even if he seems like a natural.
