Fans might have been surprised by Robbie, but former Yankee teammate Mark Teixeira wasn't. In his weekly segment on Michael Kay, Mark stated it didn't surprise him that Robbie was caught and there are players in the HOF & others playing or recently retired who have gone under the surveillance..by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
somehow with Stanton's arrival the idea of Harper has waned - but Gardy will probably be gone for 2019, Red Thunder might be a trade chip for pitching. Let's see what wheeling & dealing Cash does by the tradeline - we might have a better idea about thisby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
actually Thursday doesn't have a good DC forecast either - let's see what we can get in the booksby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
he's eligible to return in August - but if the M's make the playoffs, he's not eligible. $11.84 mil & no HOF I doubt that bothers him at all. If he really at interest in anything but $228 mil contract, he would have accepted the Yankees 7 year offer but then we wouldn't have Gley so I'm glad he left. Just think there should be bigger penalties for drug abusers.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
$11.84 mil is only a drop in the bucket compared to that contract - at least he isn't supposed to get for being suspended but does he collect for being on the DL?? still think Mariners should void his contract on the morals or ethics clause . Time to let these high profiled athletes know that cheaters don't profit from ped/hgh abuseby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Nah - Tony LaRussa I like the idea thoughby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Red Thunder is activated for tonight's game - David Hale had been DFA'd.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
he's already on the DL for 2 months - so where's the punishment????? now if they ran consecutively rather than concurrently and maybe Seattle voided the remainder of his contract -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Brandon Drury has been upgraded to the 10-day DL list and assigned to S/WB. Greg Bird & Billy McKinney have been moved up to Trenton for rehab gams.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
no, probably because we were standing in line at DD & the clerk knew I was getting impatient & annoyed waiting. The clerk knows me well tooby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
It's baseball so I can't say QB's - but these people really piss me off - but at least this morning I held my mouth shut instead of telling him off. First he admits Severino is an Ace but totally ragged on his performance last year - guess 3rd in CY voting meant nothing. Then Stanton only hits against bad teams - only two 4 hit games - oh but both were instrumental in getting Ws on the board. He'by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Nothing like a solid 6 from Sevy; 4/4/ from Giancarlo; great relief from Dellin in spite of a bloody finger; & Shreve closes out the 9th for W . Just saw the headline that Robbie Cano fractured his pinkie (right hand) when hbp - no eta for his returnby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ryan Rucco just reported Justus took the strength tests and said just feels the normal soreness from pitching a game. He expects to be back maybe a couple days extra with no problem. - That probably gives him the throw days to get readyby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
thanks Steve - it's up to the Yankees how it endsby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm beginning to think his "numbness" is in his head. He's getting hammered AGAIN by the Yankees and OM it's numbness but he can make his next start. Next start scheduled against the Yankees and behold the numbness reappears two days before his start - so let's send him to Bawstin for tests. Only "slight case of carpal tunnel" - sounds bogus to me & he's back on the benchby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
as long as that's all it is - concern will hit IF he's out longer or has further tests.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
capped a great Saturday - watching ENCORE because I missed the ending - first going to church and then out to dinner with Stacey & Tim, Timmy & Adria, & Courtney to celebrate Mother's Day followed by some hysterical bowling (for me it had been 40 years) - and yes I'm feeling it this morningby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
he can't pitch in the Bronx - he needs to attack from the first pitch and not just throw & nibble. He's not being aggressive & when he is he does fine. It's not about the catcher, it's what's in his head, his demeanor. He has nasty stuff but he has to pitch with attitude not pussy-foot around the corners.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sonny makes skies gray in the Bronx - just not sure he is going to cut - Kenny Rogers couldn't pitch in the Bronx either- just the way it isby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
The 2018 season is maybe 6 weeks in and we've seen plenty of reversals. First as a team - we got off to a 9-9 while the Sux were 17-1; then we went on a roll against the top teams 17-1 finding new ways to win each game - now a 2 game losing streak, will it end soon as the kids suck it up and return to playing tough games. Mental errors & stupid mistakes contributed last night not just the ineby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
to be expected - the adrenalin rush of playing above .500 teams & quality pitchers ran it's course - coming back to Earth against the weaker A's & Graveman. Expected the odds to catch up with us - and with Gray pitching even to "his catcher" the stars were aligned. Gray is showing he doesn't have the mettle to pitch in the Bronx - he doesn't pitch, he throws with no aggression.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
we don't need 'All-Stars' at every position. Gardy will probably be gone at the end of the year unless maybe he becomes a coach. We have Frazier & Flores coming up. I don't see Harper fitting and would rather spend the $$$ for some starting pitchers. Homegrown talent contributes & keeps the payroll in check - gone are the days of $200 mil Yankee payrolls.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
this is not the time to extend Dellin for two innings - not in close games and never experiment those things against the Sux or Muts. This will test the resiliency of this Team - can they get back on the winning track after losing a heartbreaker to Yankee enemy #1.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Game 3 of the Sux series tonight is on PIX 11 but ENCORE, pre & Post game will be on YES.CC takes the mound with his maybe 80 pitch count - If he can be economical he will give us a solid 6 - 7 innings. Listening to his interview about the future - if there is a ring at the end of 2018, he intends to retire & looks forward to no winter workouts. BUT short of that, no thoughts - he is realby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
The first episode of Home Grown: The Path to Pinstripes 2018 has arrived - looks to be another cool series & year for the S/WB players hoping to make the big club. Some new players, a new manager, some new coaches, etc. - so much fun watching as Gley gets his call up.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
let's not get too cocky - another big game tonight - but oh doesn't this feel goodby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Hicks won't go far as long as he's in Cash's good graces - for some reason those in charge are still high on him. Would you rather have Ellsbury????by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
