WINNING IS CONTAGIOUS

Didi Gregorius does it again. Can't say enough about this guy and all he's offering to this Yankee team this season.

With the Yankees on the West coast, sometimes things change.  Many times it's a reset and consistency of winning doesn't always translate because of an away game, new location, time change... whatever.  Not last night though.  Last night the Yankees stayed consistent.  We also learned something significant. Winning? It's contagious for this young Yankee team.

Our guy Bryan Hoch writes this...

"The roars flowed in cascading waves toward the visiting dugout, making Angel Stadium sound like a West Coast version of The Bronx, and Didi Gregorius was unsure how -- or whether -- he should respond. Aaron Judge pushed his teammate to the top step, where a curtain call was accepted some 3,000 miles from the Yankees' home.

'It was a little weird for me, but there's a lot of [Yankees] fans here,' Gregorius said, having delivered the deciding homer in the Yankees' wild 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Angels on Friday evening. 'I didn't expect that, to be honest. Judge said, 'Give the fans what they want.'

The Yankees have won a season-high seven straight contests, and a crucial part of that run has been Gregorius, who is providing the Yankees with more than they could have imagined. Friday's extra-inning blast off Blake Parker was Gregorius' fifth homer in six games and his 10th on the season, giving him a share of the big league lead alongside the Halos' Mike Trout."

Gotta love this kid.  Everything is Didi right now.  Love it!

Yanks win again.  Keep Grinding!

BLAKE PARKER JUST GOT SIGNED


Yanks are making moves by picking player up off waivers.  This morning we reported the Yankees signed Tommy Layne.  Read WE GOT TOMMY LAYNE... HERE WE GO! for more on that. Well, there's now more...


Now it appears we got Blake Parker.  MLB Trade Rumors writes: "The Yankees have announced that they’ve claimed righty Blake Parker from the Mariners.... The Mariners designated Parker for assignment when they acquired Arquimedes Caminero from the Pirates over the weekend. Parker has only pitched one inning in the big leagues this season, but he’s had a very impressive campaign in Triple-A, posting a 2.72 ERA, 12.7 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 39 2/3 innings for Tacoma."

So there you go...


I love offering celebration GIFs...
