Yankees hope to bounce back after bad series vs. Blue Jays

“We have had some discussions, taking a look at fourth outfielder candidates”, Anthopoulos said.

Every season is its own year, and the young players of today can help lead teams.

Even after the Blue Jays completed their sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday, players like Alex Rodriguez were saying: “This is no time to panic for us”, while trusting they have a good team in place.

From Friday to Sunday, the Yankees were entrenched in a divisional battle against the retooled and recharged Toronto Blue Jays; with a four-and-a-half game lead in the American League East plus six games up in the loss column, all the Bronx Bombers needed to do was avoid a sweep and they would make it out into this upcoming week in decent shape.

Frank Stanford asked be to join him on his talk show, to discuss whether or not we’re all on the Toronto Blue Jays’ bandwagon.

On an agitating afternoon for the Yankees, Brett Gardner slammed down his helmet with two hands after grounding out with a runner on second to end the third.

“They’re hot right now, and they got us in a bad offensive moment”, Cashman said of a Toronto team that has whittled what had been a seven-game lead in the AL East by the Yankees to just 1½ games.

A day after R.A. Dickey and the Blue Jays beat New York 2-1 in a 10-inning matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors, Price (11-4) dominated. WP: Marco Estrada (10-6). He was relieved after only 80 pitches. He sent a pitch over the head of Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton, and his teammates rushed in from the dugout. The umpires granted Teixeira a homerun on that play. In 2012 he played 30 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates and hit.229.

Kang greeted reliever Joel Peralta with his ninth homer of the season. Adding someone like Tulowitzki, who is considered to be the best offensive shortstop in the game, to a lineup that already included Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Russell Martin only creates more nightmares for their opposition.

Yes, the Yankees still hold first place.

MARINERS 4, RANGERS 2: Streaking Nelson Cruz hit his 33rd home run for Seattle, and Felix Hernandez earned his 14th win in a victory over Texas. It happened in Colorado in 2012, after a Diamondbacks fan threw back a home run that Jordan Pacheco had hit into the left-field bleachers. And though this is three games at the relative beginning of August, there is more concern because the hitting has stopped and the runs are not coming across.

Tyler Duffey and Kyle Gibson started the final two games in Toronto and were both knocked around. He was 0-3 with a 5.48 ERA versus the Rockies while pitching for Arizona.

This means that even if you know a team’s run differential, it also pays quite a bit to know its W-L record. The A’s have won three in a row and six of nine. The Orioles managed take two of three before losing two of three against the Los Angeles Angels. Murphy also had a three-run homer in the third. With the overwhelming support he received, Price had no doubt in his mind that he will exhaust all possible measures to bring home the Major League Baseball championship to Toronto.
