MLB: Misc. General Thread Baseball Season 2017

We'll see how it plays out. BUT, it was Scahill who got the Crew into trouble in that inning (three straight baserunners). Unfortunately, Webb made one bad pitch and it was in the worst situation possible.
Rutherford, Clippard and Clarkin at least.
Frazier is piece #3 of the deal. Robertson is as good as ever and Kahnle is the best middle reliever in baseball this year
I could live with that as a Yankee fan.
Would really shore up the bullpen. Bullpen was good early but not so much the last month or so. Clippard could use a change of scenery.
And the new guys are here with the Yanks for the matinee game this afternoon.
Glad I opted to not attend the game....no Judge or Holiday in the lineup. I get it, afternoon after a night game and Judge is slumping some and played most every game and Holiday is to (not recovered from that virus I think).

I honestly thought Miguel Anduar was going to take over 3rd base duties. That guy seems to be next in line for some playing time.
Maybe next year or 2019 since Todd F. is a rental and Headly is gone after this year or the next (contact through next year). Or he's trade bait if Torres ends up at 3rd.
So, interesting Yanks versus Reds game so far. Yankees have the bases loaded with no outs and Todd Frazier* hits into a triple play. Not sure I've seen one live before and if I have I bet I have watched more no-hitters.
BTW, Montgomery is no-hitting the Reds through five complete. Jinx!
* This guy sucks so far, glad he is just a rental and gone after the season. Woof!

Can the Yankees just send Luis Cessa down to the minors or throw him in with a trade. JFC, if you had just left him in the minors this spring maybe another team could have been fooled into thinking he might learn to pitch.
Hmmm, with a bunch of guys collectively slumping at the plate and Castro out I was not expecting the Yankees to get back into 1st. I had sorta relegated my hopes back to my pre-season "let's get a wildcard." Red Sox floundering since the break helped, of course. And kid Frazier has been amazing so far. And the old man Sabathia has been pretty awesome. Throws too many pitches to get past 5 or 6 innings but those 5-6 have been really good.
Clearly biased, but the Red Sox - Indians game was awesome and might have been one of the best games of the year! Sox down 5-0, then tie it up 5-5. Go down 7-5. Then, take a 9-7 lead into the 8th inning, and a 9-8 lead into the 9th inning. Kimbrel with a blown save, and go to the bottom of the 9th down 10-9.
Two wild pitches in the 9th for Allen, a strikeout for Moreland but gets to first on one of the them, then the other advances runners to 2nd and 3rd, and then Vazquez with the walk-off homerun!! Absolutely nuts! And, Sale was on the mound to start the game. Wooh! back in first!
