The Official New York Yankees Thread

That was about as bad of a debut as you could have for Weissert
James Tallion (12-4) received all the support he needed and then some. Weissert relieved him in the seventh and nearly everything went wrong after the 27-year-old right-hander came up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

He hit Jonah Bride with his first pitch, then balked Bride to second. Then Weissert's second career pitch plunked Skye Bolt. After retiring Nick Allen on a flyball, Weissert walked Tony Kemp on four pitches. Then another free pass to Vimael Machin and Weissert's forgettable first night was done.

"Only up from there," manager Aaron Boone said. "But it doesn't change what we think about him. We think he can really help us. Get that one out of the way and try to get him back out there in another situation because he's certainly capable."
 
The last couple months have been painful to watch. I'm trying to tell myself they are just getting the losses out of the way now and will turn it back on in September/October.
