They didn't even offer Bernie a spring training invite iir.

I mean the guy is a borderline HOFer in my opinion, and one of the core guys who helped them win 4 world series. I think they owed him that much.

I didn't know all that about Donnie. Honestly I think Girardi has over managed and even though I never thought I would say this, Mattingly might have been a better baseball choice here, as he's done a great job with a much lesser team.

Well, Houdini drowned in the water torture chamber last night

Terrible. I'm tellin ya D-Rob and his antics are not good long term for that position unless something changes. It should be Soriano's job to lose - the guy rang up 45 saves with the Rays his last year. Come on Joe.

Yankees win 6-2 over the Mariners today. Best outing for Hughes this season.

BC didnt want Sori, he had to be talked into it.
I think JG and the owners forced him to sign Sori.

You have to go by the performance of both pitchers from last year and this year so far. Robertson was the best reliever in baseball last year and this year until the blown save. I think what you will end up seeing is both guys get save opportunities. Keep them rotating and the arms fresh since they both like to throw a lot of pitches.
[Reply]

That makes sense to me, i think the other day was a fluke.
[Reply]

Robertson needs to be more economical with his pitch count, and needs to walk less batters.

If he gets those two things clamped down, he'll be our closer for many years to come.
[Reply]

I think Robertson is going to be more than fine. Just know that he isn't going to be Mariano and you will be ok with him. Is he going to blow 2 out of 10 saves? Probably. Its something new for yankee fans, but welcome to what its like to be a fan of any other team. Insecurity at closer is just something that you have to get used too.

It would be nice if Mo could teach someone before he goes to the HoF.
[Reply]

Not sure its about teaching. I think you either have it or don't have it, and as far as IT is concerned, Mariano has IT like nobody else. There has never been anybody like him, and likely there won't be anybody like him for a long time.

Welcome back Andy! Goodluck this afternoon...
[Reply]

Yeah, like a ghost from the past.
Now there is still 2 from the core 4.
Is the game on TBS?
[Reply]

Andy looked pretty good most of the game. The offense seemed to take the day off.
[Reply]

ya not the first team we have seen that this month...
:-)
[Reply]

So do I

It's going to be tough for the younger guys who don't remember what it was like before Mo and the almost always save at the end of every game.

I'm not one of those younger guys, so I do remember what it's like not having him there.
[Reply]

Add Robertson to the list of players on the DL. Waiting to see if they put Nova on it also after his ankle injury.
[Reply]

Bats are aslee

perhaps they should sacrifice a chicken in the locker room to wake them up...along with some rum for Jobu!
[Reply]

Andy looked quite Dandy!

8 Shut out innings with 1 walk and 9 SO's
