As a Yankee fan, it has been a marvelous 66 year ride - ups & downs - glory added to myth with 15 championships. I've witnessed a season of winning 103 games only to come in second place in AL - there were only 8 teams then; AS's & HOF's; ROYs; MVP's even our own triple crown winner. I've struggled through losing seasons with my fiery temper - through it all my loyalty has never been in dby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I don't second guess Joe but was so heartbroken as Sanchez flew out - couldn't even switch to YES for their post game interview. You don't want to show Chap you've lost or are losing confidence in him but when he gave up the bomb, I was ready to take him out there, let alone pitch the 10th. His stuff just isn't right - I'm hoping it's mechanical & not an injury. Us oldtimers just can't takeby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
his problems were beginning before the derby - no problem with sitting him a few days. Sometimes you just need a break - remember this is his first full season and he's been in almost every game plus the AS festivities add all the hype & media attention. and give his some time with Paul O'Neill.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
One thing we learned from 1996 - Derek Jeter is a leader not a follower - he said he wanted to own a team, not be a manager. Expect he will have a lot to say about all baseball decisions & business decisions between him & MJ should be interesting. Just give Donnie something to work.

hate to see anyone suffer an injury - but being old fashioned feel that F/A was one of the things that ruined the game. There is no loyalty it's all about the money - kids are getting too much at a young age and have no sense of responsibility. There's something to be said for stability - knowing the core of your team year to year instead of speculating on trades/FA. Manny had his scare with hisby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I stopped reading articles because got sick of media trying to create controversy My observation began when the hype - Judge's Chamber; face of the Yankees, face of MLB; the nonsense with the HR derby - and the fact that this is just his first full season in the majors. He's succumbed to it - it may be mostly mechanical but unless the coaches sit down & talk to him, it will become mental andby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

gotta be a little good news some place for us - left for church following the Sanchez dinger & Severino coasting - come home to disaster is the Bronx. how can anyone expect to say good things about Beantownby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
early indications Jordy will be fine and make start tomorrow - concussion protocol has been checked. BUT with the way things have gone lately, going to wait till tomorrow & see how he feels then. Take it from one who took a line drive off the bat of Bernie to the chest -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
This is just breaking - Jordy Montgomery was signing autographs during BP earlier this afternoon when he was hit in the right side of the head by the ball . He was assisted to the dugout to sit down and is now receiving treatment. More should be revealed during the game - hopes are first that he wasn't seriously injured; second that he will be able to start tomorrow night.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
If this happened in June or even July I wouldn't have been surprised - but never expected this shocker. We'll have to see who will make that next start - what a time to lose two starters from the rotation.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
This is the part I love about YES - especially for wins - getting to watch the game in a more relaxed frame of mind. Watching for little things that might have been missed during the tenseness of life game. When Jaime was taken out in the 6th, he immediately went to sit near CC - can't read lips but am thinking it was for tutoring/tips and input to make him a better pitcher.

The other day in Toronto CC was removed from the game with knee pain; though the MRI shows no new structural damage and that's just inflammation, Sabathia was placed on the 10-DL retroactive to 8-9. Jordy Montgomery has been called up from AAA and is scheduled to pitch Sunday against the Sux. In another move, Tyler Austin was activated from the DL and optioned to S/WB.

How stupid is he? He took to twitter claiming he can hit a softball farther The Judge can hit a baseball - Aaron hit the bottom of the jumbtron but the coverboy for "juice" claims he can do better. Guess he must be out of $$$ so looks for a way to make a few bucks.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Watching another pitiful game tonight - these thoughts again crossed my mind. I won't use injuries for any excuse for what's been happening - a death spiral. We've had injuries to nearly every major player on the team some more than once. Gregorius started the season on the DL followed quickly by Sanchez, Ellsbury, Chapman, Sabathia, Castro, Byrd, Pineda, Hicks, Holliday, Fowler, Frasier. Coupleby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
This was anticipated after Clint Frasier was scratched last night from the lineup with tightness in the oblique. His post game interview revealed he had been experiencing something for a few days but the adrenalin of game action covered it. He said anything to Joe G, coaches or med staff - fortunately Joe saw him grabbing the side during BP and took action. Since Aaron Hicks was ready & wouldby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

at least Hicks is ready - but it's the same story a kid who cracked the ML ranks trying to fight through an injury for days before anyone noticed there was something wrong. Wonder how long & how much he had to do with his production slipping.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

well the way he's been pitching lately not sure that's a good thing - he tanked the last two months in 2016 and it's starting againby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Somehow this doesn't surprise - Sabathia has struggled in his last few games and showing disappointment when Joe Would take hime out. After three innings in Toronto, his night ended but this time it was determined that his right knee was flaring up in pain. He will be heading back to NY for tests & most likely headed to the DL. Any bets that Jordy gets recalled in time for the rivalry weekendby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I think you're right G - they got off to such a great start and couldn't maintain for the long run. The challenge now instead of the WS might be just hanging on for a playoff spot. Cockrell needs to teach them situational hitting. Sabathia isn't much good beyond midJUly so don't expect him in the rotation next year.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Whether you call it the SkyDome or Rogers Centre, it's where the Yankees will be for the next three games. Tonight Sabathia takes the mound for the Yankees. Some cool memories of that building & Toronto - who knows maybe one day I'll return. side note: Yankee Stadium has the Judge's chamber and thanks to Timmy I have my personal Judge's corner.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
He catches up with all of us - it takes longer to heal or recover as we age - I thought that had a lot to do with Matt coming back from the viral infection & backs are no fun. With the influx of OFers & Jake under contract that makes him untradeable, most likely he will be 2018's DH. Matt was good for moral & working with the kids - could make a good hitting coach.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
