Looking real good
Nice win last night. The Pads stink but these are the teams the Yanks are expected to beat. Play .500 ball against the good teams, beat up on the bad teams and you have a real good shot at making the playoffs.
I cannot see the A’s and Rays playing as good as they have all season. The Yanks are 3.5 games back in the wold card and 4 in the loss column in both the East and Wild Card.
Need a big game from Rasner tonight. Peavy is a very good pitcher. Hopefully rasner will not feel the pressure and lose his command. He needs to be a good #4 starter the rest of the way.
I still cannot see Geise being a long term solution in the #5 role. He is much better suited for long relief. Aceves at AA is getting a lot of chatter. He needs a start or 2 at AAA before he is called up. They will need someone for the June 27th double header against the Mets. They have options but it will be interesting to see who gets the call. Igawa, Kartsens, Aceves.
Aceves pitched last night at Trenton so 1 start at AAA and he would be on schedule to pitch a game June 27th.
