I always enjoy telling compelling baseball stories. This one details how the classy Jim Abbott impacted an 11-year old Little Leaguer.

You’re welcome. It was my pleasure to report on and talk about Christian’s journey and his connection with Jim Abbott. Thanks for sharing.

Clay Holmes gave up a walk-off grand slam tonight. Bob Lorenz and JackCurryYES discuss the reliever's ninth inning. #YANKSonYES

Game 139 takeaways: Holmes didn’t protect 1-run lead & allowed walkoff grand slam for 11th blown save. He lost feel for sinker & couldn’t throw strikes. Boone wouldn’t say if Holmes is still closer, but Yanks will likely try other options. Rodon K’d 11 in six IP. It was wasted.

Before last night’s deflating loss, we aired a feel-good commentary about how Jim Abbott impacted an 11-year old Little Leaguer from NJ. As always, Jim Abbott exuded class.

Aaron Judge and the Yankees are back tonight against Texas. Coverage starts at 7:30 PM on ⁦Sports on Prime⁩

Boone said the Yankees will get “creative” with the closer role in the short term. He said Holmes could still be in the mix. I don’t think Boone wants to publicly say Holmes has lost his job, even temporarily. Expect the Yankees to go with matchups for foreseeable future.

So great to see! Let’s push things forward. Go Christian, live the life you dream of.

When Boone was asked if Gil or Schmidt could be late inning bullpen options, he said, “Never say never.” Boone said 1 starter will need to go to the pen when everyone is back. But what is most relevant is whether Yanks would give a starter w/ swing & miss stuff a chance to close

Game 140 takeaways: Offense was listless vs Eovaldi as he only gave up Soto’s 2-run HR in 7 IP. Stroman (5R in 3 2/3) said he didn’t execute pitches. Rangers were aggressive early in count. Down 8, Grisham had 9th inning GS. Stanton’s bid for 3-run HR caught at fence to end it.
