I'm now fully on board with JA's Yankee sacrifice, but if they're both gonna win, that's fine with me.

Also, absolutely huge outing for Williams. If something is gonna turn him around, you'd think that would be it.
It's not even that they had Soto last year. Like RAB pointed out, it's that they gave Verdugo 600 at bats while Grisham just rotted on the bench.
For whatever reason, Grish hasn't played LF but for 21 games in 2019 for Milwaukee. If he could do it, I think the Yankees would have put him out there last year when Verdugo was struggling. And if not LF, where? Judge, Soto, and Stanton were the priority bats.
Admittedly, I still find it hard to believe they didn't at least try it.

Also the Yankees have genuinely the most ridiculous schedule I've ever seen over the next few weeks:
They fly from NY to start a West Coast trip on Friday, May 9.
3@A's
3@SEA
Then they fly back cross-country for six home games, Mets 3 and TEX 3.
Then they fly back cross-country for another West Coast trip, starting May 23.
3@COL
3@LAA
3@LAD
Fly home.
4 cross-country trips in three weeks, their only two West Coast trips of their season with a week in NY in between. Alrighty!

The worst part of being a West coast Yankees fan is having to stay up late for their games.
What do you mean it's 7:11 and they've barely started? I'm used to being super angry at 4pm

Damn, if I would have realized they had second and third with no outs and didn't score, well, I'd be more pissed.
I thought I was going to see Will pitch Tuesday, but then realized it doesn't add up.
I guess I'm seeing Yarbrough on Tuesday?

Dominguez again. 431 feet .. Righthanded, off a breaking ball.
Warren with 7 innings of 2-hit ball.
The kids are alright.

Insanely good news. Yanks need these two kids to contribute more than they have. Tonight is crazy good for their confidence.
I like his home run trot. Puts the bat down, sets a good pace around the bases. Shades of Paul O’Neill.
NY wanted DJ to play consecutive games before being activated, which was initially supposed to be Tuesday/Wednesday. But Scranton got rained out Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so now they’re hoping he plays today/tomorrow and activated next series.
NY would have a huge division lead if Devin Williams had done his job.

Wow, hell of a rally. Two homers for Judge, a walk for Bellinger, double for Volpe, and a laser from Peraza. Needed that today.
Grisham could have caught the double. It stayed in the park and he seemed to be lining it up in his final few steps.
Another ball hit over Grisham’s head. He’s a good CF but I don’t trust him on deep balls.
Rested bullpen gives up 7 runs. That’s baseball, Suzyn.

Yankees’ color man on YES says you can’t drift back on balls in this park. Run to the wall first.
Severino can’t get anyone out in second inning. First five runners reach. Less painful to watch now.
5-0 after 1 1/2 innings. Ex-Yankee pitchers have been kind to their old teammates — Nestor, Wandy and now Severino. Only Michael King pitched well. Clay Holmes looming on the horizon.
YES reports DJ LeMahieu played all 9 innings at second base today for Scranton, went 1-for-4. Expectation is he joins the team in Seattle tomorrow. After a long plane ride, it might be best to sit Old Bones out for a day.
Sears pitched well yesterday too. I forgot about Nestor, that is three massive blowups.
Judge with a diving catch in an 11-2 game and nearly doubled Urshela off first with a throw from his knees,
Boone and NY are doing a fantastic job protecting Judge, who despite being far and away the best hitter in MLB so far this year, is somehow only tied for 17th in BBs with just 24. I think teams would love to walk him more but Rice and Goldschmidt and Grisham are doing a nice job protecting him.
Cortes 2 innings, 8 ER
Severino 4 innings, 8 ER
Wandy .2 innings, 6 ER
Total: 6.2 innings, 22 ERs.
NY has scored 235 runs so far, so that is almost 10 percent of their ERs for the season in those 6.2 innings against those three recent Yanks. Thanks guys!

Those 235 runs in the first 40 games put them on pace for 951 for the season, which would be the 10th most any team has scored since 1960, and the most any team would have scored since NY in 2007 (968, 4th highest since 1960).
The 1999 Indians are still the only team to crack 1000 (1009) since 1960, both BOS and NY fans remember those Indians teams well.
