Jesus Montero, C: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI – 13 for his last 30 (.433) with four doubles & three homers … that’s his third homer in the last four games … was pinch run for in the 8th, when they were down a run
Via @conorfoley: Interesting caught stealing stat: Cervelli – 16% CS, Posada – 17% CS, Austin Romine – 18% CS, Jesus Montero – 24% CS.
Via @bkabak: Since July 1, Jesus Montero is 40 for 106 (.377) with 8 HR and 9 2B.
Via @ledger_yankees Posada was unavailable to pinch hit due to a “cranky shoulder”.
Yeah. It’s time. Call up Jesus.

Overreaction to a loss with half the lineup getting the day off.

Normally, I’d agree, but have you seen Cervelli’s numbers since mid-May? And he’s getting regular playing time.
Montero’s been killing it the entire second half. I know he’s young, but he would not be the first ever 20 year old major leaguer. I know we’ll see him soon enough, but there will be much grumbling if Cervelli costs the Yanks a postseason game, or series.
