Syndergaard lasted one inning today in his first start in over a week.  Apparently has a blister.

I'll buy seats behind the dish and get a rainbow afro wig. See you there

Today I learned 29 year old and former platinum glove winner Byron Buxton is the twins' full time DH.  I know he's only played 100 games once before, he's only missed 3 games so far this year, and they brought in Michael Taylor who's good in CF himself, but seems like they're losing a lot of his potential value just having him hit.

 

Whatever works I guess

I don't think the DH thing is permanent... it's due to his most recent injuries.  At least, I think that's the case.

Yankee fan boys are butthurt about getting beat by the Ray's and landing in last place with a $200 million dollar roster.

Evan Roberts, an afternoon drive host on WFAN, said there is "something suspicious" about their historic start.

His co-host, Craig Carton, added that they are "probably cheating," a leap that Roberts wouldn't say with his own words, but he insinuated he believed that was the case.

I don’t believe that.  As usual Tampa has a solid team that plays good baseball.  They had a super weak schedule to start the year and won the games they should.  Mix in some luck and there you go.

Good team with good fundamentals, plus pitching.
