Yankee Gameday Notes

Yankees on TV this morning. A few thoughts .....

• How long do you go with a second baseman and shortstop hitting .189 and .200 before trying something different? When does a "slow start" become the norm? This sure ain't the Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano days.
• I keep thinking that maybe this is the day that the team slump ends but it's not looking good. Giving up seven runs in the third inning two consecutive days doesn't help ...... Ummmm make that ten runs in today's third inning.
• Line score after three innings .... Texas: 10 Runs, 10 Hits / Yankees: 0 Runs, 0 Hits. Why am I still watching? Is Brian Cashman watching?
• 15-2 when they bring in rarely used Outfielder/First Baseman, Garret Jones to pitch. I've been hoping for something different but that's not what I had in mind.
• Bottom on the ninth inning, two outs and the Yankees down 15-4 .... and a group of people in the stands can be heard on TV chanting, "Lets go Yankees!" The definition of an optimist. 
• The Yankees called up their minor league phenom relief pitcher after the game. Wish they had a couple middle infield and starting pitching phenoms as well. They have an outfielder. Just the matter of releasing or benching a supposedly reliable, consistent and established veteran that's standing in his path.
