    Only because DH comes after his name. DH includes 'Hitter.'

    And Casas isn’t exactly tearing up AAA.

    The Dugo and Arroyo show offensively tonight. Dugo scores 5 runs and Arroyo has 3 RBI.

    Doesn't really matter; Cora will keep unproductive JD at DH, even after Story returns. Arroyo will return to utility role. Sad, but most likely, true.

    Cora will find ways to use Arroyo…

    If JD can keep walking 2-3 times a game, he can be productive.

    I'm not sure why pitchers are so afraid to pitch to him, though.

    8-7 in the last 15 (since 8/1) Feels like a lot more but baby steps and 1 game at a time. Orioles finally lose a game to the Jays, so it is tightening up , with Rays-Yankees tied in the 9th. May they both burn up their bullpens

    The Yanks came back to beat the Rays!

    We are back to .500.

    We are now 4 down (5 in the loss column) to TBR & TOR. There are 3 teams between us and TBR/TOR.

    Lots of baseball left.

    This is not the same team as a few weeks ago.

    9 games coming up starting Friday with Div teams ahead of the Sox. That will tell if they are a different team, or not.

    .921 ops in august.

    My biggest concern with Casas is his platoon splits. Going down the stretch, after the 22nd he doesn’t start the service clock if brought up.

    Given his stature and recent level of play…..it should really be an option at this point.

    Yeah really. The Pitates blows so they should be sweeping this series. The Yankees were on a down spiral so I'm not convinced yet

    Just keep winning.
    They are winning with only 3 guys hitting, if the lineup clicks they can score more runs and give the bullpen some leeway
