Where oh where have the bats gone? The simplest answer is “The Injured List”, but the Yankees previously had been able to keep producing runs even after seeing some huge bats go down. Their luck has run out lately, however, with the team’s wounded lineup now struggling at the end of June and giving fans visions of a midsummer malaise. It’s up to Carlos Rodón to prevent a sweep in Boston tonight, or else the Bombers will return to New York nursing a four-game losing streak.
It’s an NBC Sunday night
joint tonight, so ahead of the game, get caught up with Peter’s Rivalry Roundup, and enjoy Matt’s profile of Al Downing for our Yankees Birthday series. Later, John spins around this week in Yankees social media, and Scott tracks an uptick in attendance, for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

Questions/Prompts:
1. How are you feeling about the Yankee offense’s ability to weather the storm without some of their top bats after this recent downturn?
2. Will the Yankees be handle to hold off the Rays while Aaron Judge heals, or do you think they’re doomed to see the Rays pass them by the time Judge returns now that Tampa has tied them?
