Brutal series. Can't split at home vs. the Athletics. The Yankees need to start hitting. Their pitching staff is carrying right now and I am unsure how long that can keep up. Volpe got warm again while Rodon & Nestor look fantastic. Let's talk.

Trivia: On July 24th, 2004, which Yankee was hit by Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo, prompting a bench-clearing brawl?

Thanks to Aaron Judge finally coming alive, the Yankees avoid the dreaded sweep in Toronto and head back home 13-6 on the season. Pitching length is an issue, infield defense still sucks, Stanton is producing under the radar, and Juan Soto is still very awesome. Let's talk!

Not an ideal ending to this series at all. This is a Marlins team that you really need to be sweeping. However, the Yankees did win themselves another series to make it four consecutive to start the season. We talk offense, pitching, Stanton's continued resurgence, the shaky defense, speed concerns, Judge's slump, a few controversial Boone decisions, and more.
