Ackley’s hurt and so is Big Mike. Enough to be worrisome, of course.
It’s Tanaka Time as the Yanks return home to face the Red Sox. Henry Owens, one of their pitching prospects, makes his first start in the majors tonightski.

Never mind those chirpin’ birdies gainin’ on ya:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Just hope the boys don't get URPed.
Nice play, Chris.
Guys I'm not going to be around tonight to see the game. If there are any details worth noting please leave 'em in the comments section here. I'll check out the thread later and compile a recap based on your account.
Thanks!
LET'S GO YANK-EES!
AB
Owens strikes me out to start his ML debut.
Not exactly a blast, but we'll take that, Mark.
Blech, should have been more than one.
What the fuck guys? Completely catchable. Boooooooooo!
Really, Hanley. Tanaka-san is that good.
Oh, fer crying out loud! Tanaka Headley collision on the bunt. Fielding tonight is going to be on the blooper reel.
Tied up, of course
Lonely? This game has been disturbing. Offense better wake up.
This Sox rookie pitcher is fearless.
URP
Get the kid out of there.
Now that's a sweet DP, Tanaka!
Woo hoo, untied!
Just one more hit and order is restored.
There goes the insurance
Tanaka ok, but will he ever be that early thing we experienced again?
Sit down schweinhund
This is the right move. I had a bad feeling about Wilson. That fastball is straight as an arrow, only a matter of time before it gets hit out.
I hate Joe bringing in Betances mid-count. 1-2, Wilson can get the out. All to protect Tanaka's win? I hope it doesn't bite his ass.
Unusual
I didn't like the cuts they were getting off Wilson. I really think he was going to get hit hard.
[18] Yes, I wonder that every time. It's really painful to think he won't, isn't it?
McCann hadn't been the same since he took that foul off his hand.
Bravo.
Luck helps too.
[25] I missed that, when did that happen?
[27] Hahah. Better to be lucky than good.
Swinehart's AB? It was this inning.
[28]
I saw that unfolding. He sure lollygagged that one.
This game has no feeling to it. It's off key
[30] Ah. I must have been refreshing my beverage.
Alex is going to hit it out.
Alas, I was wrong.
At least insurance is back.
Rodney up the middle. That two run cushion feels alright with this bullpen.
Omg, I can't believe it's still only the seventh.
This asshole looks like that Mike PIazza asshole.
[32] off beat? Or off base?
That's for the one Alex failed to hit!
McCann can! This has been his game.
Hell yeah!
Crack!
Man, he got good wood on that baseball.
Crack, indeed!
Brian!
Double digits?
Remember the Sox rookie pitcher? He was good, what day was that?
Jesus, they're just smacking the ball all around the park.
BP.
Just got under it.
What a gorgeous little line drive.
Double Diggies!
hahahahahah!!
This is incredible!!
It's making me merry!
No mercy!
Burn the pen in the opening game
Chris Young!
These are some nice hits, too. Just really squarely hit balls.
Mercifully over.
I'm going to hit the hay, night all.
Hanley Ramirez, now in oblivian?
