I really don’t like Casas’ play, he’s so lackadaisical, almost Manny level without the hitting (and possibly worse defense) I need to see a season plus of Casas before dragging him. Again, his defense wasn’t this bad in the minors, so I’m pretty sure it should be better as the season progresses. And again, his overall numbers have gotten better and better with each month. Patience is key. It’s not his bottom line numbers, his peripherals aren’t bad, OBP is solid. He just doesn’t show any game awareness or hustle. Pedroia had a crappy start to his career (late 2006 and April 2007), but he always hustled so it made it easier to watch. You can't judge a hitter until they have 1000 PA's, but you can judge the lack of hustle. It's toxic for team culture especially if you're a rookie…I don't believe in rookie hazing, but rookie entitlement?? that's 2023 for you

I legitimately don't know if he doesn't run hard sometimes or he's just that slow. He is an unbelievably slow human being.

Reminds me of the JD Drew criticism. I’m not seeing entitlement. I mean we are talking about a guy who lets out a yell after a long walk, I wouldn’t say he is lackadaisical or unfocused out there. I think he’s just a weirdo

I think he’s just a weirdo Idk, JD also barely grounded into any DPs, always had solid baserunning and fundamentals. It just bothers me that he doesn’t run hard while Verdugo runs harder on average and gets benched the one time he doesn’t. I’ll try to enjoy the game though, I sound like a boomer haha

The Yankees are playing some Red Sox like defense. It's amazing they're still at about 8 games above .500. Don't know how they do it. I guess they have good pitching according to the stats, with Cole and a bunch of no names doing the job in the pen and Aaron Judge of course, but beyond that, not an overly impressive team.
The Sox offense had been catatonic until they woke up against Colorado in the last game.
The offense was due to have a bust out game - no better team to do it against than these MFers, I mean MFY.

More Red Sox like defense from the Yankees, lol. Wow they are horrendous in all phases of the game tonight. I hope the Red Sox show up Sat and Sun if it doesn't rain all weekend and beat the hell out of the Yankees and sweep them.

The Yankees Reddit game thread is absolute gold right now. Some highlights: "Guys, Donaldson won an MVP 12 years ago. Sit back n relax he’ll find it" "Fuck it, I want DJ, Rizzo, Stanton pitching. This is there punishment" "Thousands of kids are going to get diabetes from overeating tonight"

Woof, that’s gotta hurt but at least it’s an injury that shouldn’t keep him out for too long.
