terrysharon+FollowJ.C. Escarra Out—Baby on Deck!Tough timing for the Bronx Bombers as J.C. Escarra, who’s been clutch behind the plate, is missing tonight’s Reds game for the best reason—he’s becoming a dad! After his standout game vs. the O’s (helping Schmidt go hitless and launching a homer), Escarra’s absence leaves a gap, especially since the Yanks can’t get a backup in time. Boone’s praise says it all: this guy’s earned his pinstripes. Thoughts on how the lineup adjusts tonight? #Yankees #JCEscarra #MLB #Sports #Baseball00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowBen Rice Behind the Plate: What’s Next?Yankees fans, did you catch the lineup shakeup vs. the Angels? With Big G (Giancarlo Stanton) back, Ben Rice got his first start at catcher, and JC Escarra’s spot suddenly feels less secure. Escarra’s been clutch defensively and has caught all four of our 1-0 shutouts, so it’s wild to think he could be squeezed out. Is this just a one-off to keep Rice’s bat in the mix, or is the backup catcher job up for grabs? Let’s hear your takes—does Escarra deserve to stay? #Yankees #BenRice #JCEscarra #Sports #Baseball00Share
