Birthday Boy
CC being able to grind out these games is phenomenal. I get oddly proud watching him shut teams down with smart and precise pitching. This guy was lost a couple years ago. We thought he was done. The fastball was gone and it seemed with that went his entire arsenal. Nope! He just needed a sweet knee brace and a new approach. Give me old man CC Sabathia all day. I love it. https://twitter.com/Jomboy_/status/888615912089075712
The Offense Is About to Explode
We had a lot of guys coming into this game in slumps. All of them got hits. Gary, Holliday, Castro, Judge. Everyone got a hit today besides Todd Frazier (he only struck out once though so still better than Carter). Not only did Judge get a hit. He also hit the moon. Clint Frazier heard Cashman say he's sending him down when Hicks comes back and went out there saying "do it, I dare you". That decision may already be made but Clint is going to give Cashman a hell of a headache over it. https://twitter.com/Jomboy_/status/888597882399412224
Bullpen, Yeah The Trade was Nice
Kahnle dominated. Robertson dominated. Betances didn't allow a run. Warren did great. I think this trade worked out well huh?
