Satisfying win for a short handed Yankees team. Aaron Hicks had 3 hits, and caught a ball hit near the LF wall in the top of the ninth, and looked good doing it, almost athletic.

I remember the "71% of the world is covered by water" line being used for Melky after he robbed Manny Ramirez of a HR in the pre-Twitter days (and I'm sure for many other HR robberies on other teams I don't remember). Obviously Melky was not nearly the defender Bader is.

It was once said that “Ocean covers 3/4 of the earth’s surface and Garry Maddox covers the rest.”
As someone playing him in a home run league this week, it’s getting really annoying.
Be thankful his ball off the top of the wall last night ended up reversed into a double, it was very close to 6 in 5 games.
Ben Lively tried to sneak a 92 mph fastball past Judge, up in the zone. 431 feet later, 1-0.
That may have been an pitch clock violation automatic ball, assuming you're talking about the Henry Ramos AB
That makes more sense. Normally the app tells you if there was a violation, but that time it just called a pitch right down the middle a ball so I was pretty confused.
Very close to ugly though, the first batter was called out by this awful ump on a 3-2 pitch that missed, the next batter hit a bullet that DJ made a nice play on, the third batter walked.
Good job keeping Holmes out of the game.
Strange starting times the next two days, 4 PM tomorrow (depends on the ballpark but generally this means funky shadows for the first few innings) and then a ridiculous 11:30 AM start on Sunday because it's the Peacock game.

Pretty excited to see the corresponding Greg Allen move, Hicks being DFAd makes a lot of sense as Allen is also a switch-hitting 4th OF. I don't believe they'll actually dump Hicks until they do, but logically that should be the move.
(They'll probably DFA Calhoun)

Maybe Hicks is behind-the-scenes being a dick about his 4th OF role and the Yankees feel compelled to boot him for the sake of team chemistry. One can dream.
But yeah, it's going to be Calhoun.

Well, Aaron, we'll always have that one catch in Minnesota and the home runs pimped.
I always liked him, but he was never the same after the surgery.

Yankees hitting lasers this inning. Should be even better but a terrible send by the 3rd base coach.
Would have been nice for Brito to go long since I doubt Sevvy will tomorrow, but at least all those bullpen outs came in a winning effort.
This is for Severino, German will be back next weekend.

With Greg Allen around now, Cabrera should probably go down for Peraza when they're back home on Tuesday.
Torres DH
Judge RF
Rizzo 1B
LeMahieu 3B
Bader CF
Volpe 2B
Peraza SS
Rortvedt C
Allen LF
bench: Higgy, Bauers, IKF, Calhoun
That's a ton of SBs from the bottom half of the lineup, and a really good defensive team. Let's try that until Stanton is back, thanks.
