I support Jeffers having 2 days off in a row. He's played a lot this year at a demanding position and we're still only at the 1/3 mark.

He's played 28 games at catcher. That's hardly a burden.

i hope we win.

Jeffers isn't exactly tearing it up lately. His AVG has fallen by like 50 points in recent weeks. To me, his recent hitting suggests he could use a day off.

Man I can’t remember the last time I watched TBS. Bad memories of being forced to watch EVERY Atlanta Braves game back in the day……

[SwainZag]

With his propensity to give up the long ball combined with a tough Yankee lineup and that short right field porch.....Ober really needs to be on his game.  Gil was overly fantastic in his last 6 starts, he's due to start giving up some runs!

WGN + TBS were some of the most effective baseball marketing and building lifelong national fan bases. 

[Aggies7]

Surrounded by Yankee fans. Dread this series every year..

We had different thoughts on that then!  I absolutely loved that I could find a live baseball game to watch all the time, even if it was the Braves.

I’ll grant you that, plus it was a chance to see some National Leagues teams during the regular season. 

[Shaitan]

Exactly my memory. NL teams had those brighter uniforms in natural daylight. And the pitchers would bat. It was another world.

[Aggies7]

Gonna be a long night with this guy on the mound (jinx hopefully)

[Aggies7]

No way that one almost got out. Little league park

Same here. The game is blacked out for me on MLB.TV and TBS. I'm doing a self-imposed blackout on NY sports talk radio for the next three days.

Cant pitch  looking scared Bailey , go after them

[MMMordabito]

One inning and already tired of Plouffe.

[Aggies7]

Nice inning after some cautious nibbling

[TwinsCD]

Pretty funny that Soto got called for interference on a very similar situation last week.

No. I believe the Yankees have a lefty tomorrow and Rocco won't play Lewis 2 days in a row to start. So I expect Vazquez to catch tomorrow too with Jeffers DH'ing, Margot and Farmer in the line-up etc.

If Lewis can't play two days in a row the team should have kept him with St. Paul.

Believe me, it could be A LOT worse. So far on the Yankees broadcast, Gil is the cy young front runner and MVP is up for grabs between Soto and Judge. Barf a rama

[OvertheHill]

I’ll take that. I’m reminded that I don’t particularly enjoy watching Soto play. 

[SwainZag]

Royce gets to keep that shiny 3.500 OPS for at least one more AB.

[stringer bell]

Still hitting 1.000

All of that is true, though.

Roughly 10x that of Vazquez.

Stats are fun.

[CRF]

Luv that Buxton...all K's, all the time.

[Aggies7]

Are you now allowed to lick your fingers on the mound? Lol

[MABB1959]

Yippee.  Twins on Tv.
