May they win their 8th in a row on your birthday today!!!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Well, at least he was able to play... After replacing Maybin who left the game with a calf injury!!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Even with the innings limit, it is very good news. Considering the types of bad news it could've been. TJ surgery surgery for example.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
He was a trooper tonight. Hopefully with tomorrow night's game being on Fox 5, he'll regain his voice just in time for the Old Timer's Day festivities on Sunday.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
The weather for Saturday & Sunday should be beautiful.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga With Chad Green opening tonight, Nestor Cortex, Jr will probably be 2nd - he usually throws 50 or more pitches - if we delay activating Judge until after the game, we could send Nestor down after the game - activate Judge for Friday keeping Maybin. When Morales is eligible to come off the Il, just DFA him unless a trade is worked out before that.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
At Wednesday’s major league owners meetings, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner indicated that the team would be willing to spend beyond the third and final level of the luxury tax in order to improve his team’s World Series chances.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Then you know what? Go with one less reliever for a few games until Morales comes back, then release him and bring up a relief pitcher immediately after the move!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga because Morales is on the IL not the 25 man roster - otherwise would have a no brainer That's the reason?? In that case, when does Morales come back?!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga it's not the inning but the part of the batting order due up - O & Tommy have been flip flopping between the 6th & th depending on who's due up. Kahnle has good stuff but like all of us can miss his spot. Well, said, Toga..by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga and Maybin bombed one - 4 games in a row - how does Cash ax him?? I get it that they prefer thirteen pitchers and three bench players, over 12 & 4. With that said, why on earth isn't Morales' name mentioned over Maybin's??by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Another great win!!! Encarnacion hits his first home run as a Yankee!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga another perfectionist who wasn't completely satisfied - love his reaction when he misses with a pitch - my concern is his next start against Houston. Unless they can give him that extra day. Yes, give him an extra day again! Let him pitch on Old Timer's Day, on Sunday!!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
A complete game shutout!!! 1 1/2 up in 1st!!!by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga that's my thought - big question is who will go when Judge comes back??? Thinking maybe Maybin. Frazier's post games comments were 'too me' than team like he shouldn't be sent down for Encarnacion, Stanton or Judge. When asked about being a possible trade chip, snidely remarked he'd been traded before. Wonder how he will handle AAA this time. Yeah, he's not talking the Yankee wby Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
When Stanton comes back on Tuesday night, who then gets sent down? I'm guessing Tochman.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga think I like the lineup Jack Curry had with Encarnacion batting 5th behind Sanchez - but just hope the power potential doesn't lead to more K's. Brett still has a little pop left but really hope he let's this be his last season and doesn't try to linger. Frazier could be the trade bait for a pitcher - gotta trust Cash has a plan. Shuffle them any way they want, it's all fine witby Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuotePRYanksFan You make some good points hitter, I guess I’m just tired of seeing our starters getting rocked lately and we’re not even at the halfway point yet. Maybe a top shelf starter is in our future from a team that’s not going anywhere this year. Who knows.by Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
CHICAGO — Can Edwin Encarnacion pitch? Kidding, kidding. And you had best be kidding if you pose the same question. Of course the Yankees’ surprise acquisition of the American League home run leader Encarnacion from the Mariners doesn’t cure their starting rotation woes, just as a much-needed, 8-4 bullpen victory over the White Sox on Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field (worst ballparkby Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuotePRYanksFan This acquisition does not make any sense. We are in need of more pitching, not more hitting. Where the heck is Encarnacion supposed to play? If it’s first base, are they giving up on Luke Voit? I think not with 16 hrs so far. Is it DH? I think not if that’s where Stanton is supposed to land. And what does that do to our best hitter this year in LeMahieu? Why didn’t he (Cash) ask fby Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
The Seattle Mariners have traded Edwin Encarnacion to the New York Yankees, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN. The Mariners are including significant money on Encarnacion's contract, which includes a $20 million club option with a $5 million buyout for the 2020 season. In exchange, the Yankees send minor league pitcher Juan Then to Seattle. Then, 19, was previously acquired by the Yankeby Hitman23 - TheYankeesBoard.com
