Watching Aaron Boone

SU is keeping an eye on rookie manager, Aaron Boone, following last night’s 14-1 blowout up in Beantown.  He is sticking with his line up batting Judge 2nd and Stanton 3rd.  OK, SU says it’s early – you did this for a reason and don’t want to look like you are panicking.  Tyler Wade in there tonight against a tough lefty in David Price even though Torreyes had a good series over the weekend and is a right-handed hitter.   Hmmm.  That one is a no-brainer.  Of course, Wade is cooking along at .136 and still seems over matched in 2018 just like 2017.  But what do I know?

I do know that Cashman wants him to play Wade.  So there is that.  Meanwhile, Gleyber Torres is red hot in Scranton.  His time is coming and soon says SU.

Gary Sanchez is scarily hitting something like 2 for 33 this year.  He is a key guy.

Tonight is a gut check game.  You don’t have to win but you do need to look like you can win.  SU says show some spine.  That is what SU is now looking for.  Spine.  Of course, SU is looking for that in Washington these days as well.

The Mets are just cruising along.  D’Arnaud is on the DL which is a loss but the key is pitching and if the starters can stay healthy, no reason to think they won’t be in the mix.  They can fly under the radar in NY for now.

Last year, the Yankees played with house money.  No expectations.  The pressure is there this season.  Let’s how the youngsters respond.  Judge is coming along.  Sanchez is making me nervous and I have no expectations for Stanton.  Waiting to be surprised.

One thought on “Watching Aaron Boone”

  1. Torres called up on the first day after they gain another year of control over him- April 15th or something like that? Even Cashman wouldn’t want to play Wade over Torres
