Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well. I’m coming to you with Bobby from the pond at Eisenhower park on this beautiful but humid Wednesday. This will probably be my last blog until I come back from a little R&R at summer camp.
As many Yankee fans know, the yanks have had a roller
coaster of a season so far. They took a significant nosedive last night and may
have regressed offensively. Jhony Brito dealt a high quality start but the bats
didn’t come along for the ride. The only offensive scoring was produced, ironically,
by Josh Donaldson. Coming off his recent IL stint, Donaldson is sporting a .132
avg and was the only player to manufacture a run for the bombers last night.
Even though Anthony Volpe had a good game last night going 3/4, his offensive production
has a lot of room for improvement. Volpe seems
trapped in his own head and is trying to unlock his own potential. Last night’s
performance may be the key that he has been looking for to solidify himself as
the Yankee shortstop of the future.
Domingo German takes the hill once again
tonight. This reporter is ever hopeful that he can find his mojo and put his
early seasons bad starts in the rearview mirror. Hopefully the Yankee bats can
follow close behind Domingo and seal the deal against the worst bullpen in the
league.
The Yankees big money off season acquisition,
Carlos Rodon, is reportedly going to make his pinstripe debut in early July.
That should fortify the starting rotation and take a major weight from the
shoulders of Gerrit Cole. The team is ever hopeful that Aaron Judge will return
but my prediction sits at 50/50 for a return this season.
Hopefully the Yankees can have a party out in
Oakland tonight to even the series. With a day game tomorrow, a rubber match
would be preferred over a game to prevent the A’s bringing out the brooms.
I hope everyone enjoys the game tonight. This
has been Mr. Yankee! GO YANKS!
