Austin Wells Yankees first round pick in the cage. Launch angle? Sure doesn't appear they want him hitting line drives or putting it in play. on the ground.

Luis Severino is throwing at 120ft. Aaron Boone said he is expected to get on the mound for the first time in a few weeks #yankees

The Yankees have a new state of the art building at their minor league complex, with high-tech pitching equipment. Their bullpens are being thrown indoors.
They're calling it "the gas station."
Unless you have 70-80 speed you don't really want to put the ball on the ground.Quote:

Aside from a DP, a ground ball is better than a K, all day. It forces them to field, throw and catch.
How about guy on second and no one out? Or to get in a run?
Again, aside from hitting to the situation, if there's less than two strikes? Of course, drive the ball but once there's two? Make the defense do something.

Zack Britton on Domingo Germán's return to the Yankees:
"Sometimes, you don't get to control who your teammates are. I don't agree with what he did, I don't think it has any place in the game or off the field at all."
And some here thought Bauer would have been unpopular with his fellow players and a distraction in the clubhouse . I said it months ago and I will say it again , the Yankees should have traded German after his suspension was up , even if they could only get a bag of baseballs tor himQuote:

The Instagram post was signed MV. His girlfriend / wife ( Mara Vega) penned it. Assume the relationship is over.Quote:

Doesn’t matter who wrote it , and I believe it was on his account so it is still a distraction and German is atleast an indirect cause of it . Then there is the media circus that Britton rightfully caused with his opinion of German . Either way you look at it German is still causing the Yankees trouble in the media and giving unwanted attention to his team . Bottom line he should have been traded by nowQuote:

Again no excuse for his behavior, but throwing a teammate under the bus in ST is not the best way to start the season. I imagine the atmosphere in the bullpen or "gas station" is heating up as we speak. Again no excuse for the behavior, I condemned it then as I do now, just question why Britton needs to go there at this moment?Quote:

Of course it matters. Think Jorge.Quote:
