It was Andrew Heaney’s start in Yankee Stadium today. Bummer!
Inning #1
David Fletcher hit a fly out to center field. One away. Shohei Ohtani hit a fly out to right field. Two away. Tony Two-Bags hit a double to center field. Jared Walsh struck out to waste it. 0-0.
DJ LeMahieu grounded out to second on the first pitch he saw. Aaron Judge struck out. Promising? Well, Gary Sanchez homered to make it 1-0 Yankees. Giancarlo Stanton then walked but Luke Voit struck out to end the inning.
Inning #2

Gleyber Torres popped out to second base. Gio Urshela walked on six pitches. Miguel Andujar singled on a liner to center field. Urshela advanced to third. Brett Gardner hit a sacrifice fly to left field. 2-2 is the score. We got this. Right? DJ LeMahieu singled on a liner to right field to make in 3-2 Yankees. OK. That’s not so bad. Aaron Judge homered to center field to make it 5-2 Yankees. Now it’s getting bad. At least Gary Sanchez popped out to short to end the inning.
Inning #3
David Fletcher grounded out to third base. Shohei Ohtani hit his first homer of the evening to make it 5-3 Yankees. Anthony Rendon singled on a line drive to left field. It’s nice to see him getting hot. Jared Walsh hit into a force out at second base. It’s not nice to see him getting not hot. At least he advanced to second base on a wild pitch.

DJ LeMahieu hit a fly ball out to right field. Aaron Judge lined out to left. Unfortunately, Gary Sanchez doubled to Schebler in left to score Brett Gardner. 7-3 Yankees. Giancarlo Stanton walked. Luke Voit doubled to center field to score Gary Sanchez. Giancarlo Stanton advanced to third base on the play. Gleyber Torres hit a ground ball to right field to score both Stanton and Voit. Sheesh! 10-3 Yankees. Mercifully, Gio Urshela struck out to end the fourth inning.
Inning #5
David Fletcher singled on a ground ball to center field. Shohei Ohtani hit a laser home run to right to make it 10-5 Yankees. Anthony Rendon walked. Jared Walsh struck out, whereupon Max Stassi hit into a double play to kill the Angels half of the fifth inning.

Miguel Andujar grounded out to Junior Guerra. Brett Gardner walked. DJ LeMahieu walked. Junior Guerra then uncorked a wild pitch to advance both runners by one base. Aaron Judge walked to load them up. Gary Sanchez hit into a double play to end the fifth inning. Dang! This stuff makes me into an old man! Well, I guess I already was.
Inning #6
Luis Rengifo made out on a fly ball to center. Nothing to see here. Jose Iglesias, though, singled on a line drive to left field.
Nestor Cortes replaced Jamieson Taillon at this point.
Phil Gosselin pinch hit for Scott Schebler. Gosselin then struck out in his best Scott Schebler imitation. Consistency is everything. Taylor Ward singled to center and then ran into a bonehead out at second base to end the Angels half of the sixth inning.

Trade him!
Add Suarez to the rotation…NOW. Look at his stats this year. He is missing bats consistently with his slider, changeup, and fastball. This is what he did early on in the minors. What in the world is Maddon waiting for? Heaney is too unreliable and often looks like he’s throwing batting practice. And then there’s Bundy. Dump Bundy or Heaney–both of whom are free agents at year’s end–and put Suarez in the rotation. Ohtani, Sandoval, and Suarez would give us three promising young starting pitchers that the team has control over for a while. Canning and Cobb have been decent, and, OK, I guess Heaney or Bundy can stay as our 6th starter until Detmers is ready, maybe in August?
So when you say that Cobb has been “decent”, I assume you are referring to the 16 Earned Runs he’s given up over his last 20 innings?
Good point about Cobb’s “lack of greatness,” of course. But you know something? Of the 7 starting pitchers Maddon has designated so far this year, I would say that Cobb is, yes, relatively “decent.” Where do you rank him compared to this year’s Bundy, Quintana, and Heaney?
Anyway, my main point is that there is NO reason for Maddon to keep Suarez out of the rotation. It’s asinine that guys like Bundy, Quintana, Heaney, and Cobb get so many opportunities, but Suarez is still just an occasional “long relief guy.”
Scrolled too quick and read Albert Abreu as Albert Pujols, at least that nightmare is over.
I knew Hoyt would be taking the mound tonight and it wouldn’t be pretty. Unless you’re thinking it was pretty bad.
That’s what it was. If I had good pictures of Hoyt and Guerra they would both be up there with red “no way in Hell” circles in the hall of shame.
You have to wonder why they would bring up, and play a pitcher with an 11+ era in AAA. Only thing I can think is that they were raising the white flag and giving up winning the game. You know Hoyt would get shelled in the stadium. Yeeeesh.
Should’ve brought in Q for multiple innings for Hean like Suarez yesterday.
Ohtani with 3 HRs in 2 Days at Yankee Stadium
.
What a bunch of pansies…. Vlad Jr, Tatis, Schwarber, MFY hitters, etc bailing out of a HR Derby @ Coors Field. Seriously. Griffey Jr was BOO’d on warms up then participates and wins the contest.
Shohei is pitching AND hitting and will participate. I’m selfishly saying this but at the same time kind of weak so far with Shohei, Alonso, Story, Mancini and whoever actually accepts the invitation. Tatis, Jr, etc talking a big game, no better time to step up. Glad Ohtani is!!!
Baseball is a long grind. I have no ill will towards whoever decides to take care of himself during an exhibition that does not matter.
Those are some violent swings, and those players will be taking a lot of them.
Saturday Night is alright for F____in’ ?
Are you sure? It was a pretty close game, only something like 11-5.
Well if we scored that touchdown we would have won 12-11
Again? I think the word we’re looking for is “still”
I talked to Adam Sandler and he said maybe if there’s a part 2
We NEVER STOPPED SUCKING.
If anyone believes otherwise, medicate.
