sounds like a set back for Greg - we'll find out. Or is it protection when the trade deadline nears to get a starting pitcher??? wheels are turningby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
at this rate of inconsistency we'll be fighting to even make the playoffs. We've witnessed how fickle baseball can be within 24 hours. Tanaka is struggling much like the beginning of 2017 - the pitching coach needs to do his job to figure out if it's weather, mechanics or physical injury. As for $tanton - I wasn't sure getting him was a great idea. It's only April & we've seen other solid plaby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
expected to miss tonight's game with stiffness in the back - hopefully due to inclement weather and nothing serious. Wait & seeby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
This is weird: Luis Cessa was called back up after being sent to S/WB over the weekend. Means an injury - BUT TO WHO?????? So far there has been name announced by the Yankees. Will update we have a name - most likely a pitcherby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
He also had cold symptoms so removal was precautionary/ Don't give up he still could come up the end of the week - if Tyler Wade doesn't start hitting.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Greg Bird was at the Stadium and throwing a baseball once they took the tarp off the field - good sign he is on schedule to return by mid May. Brandon Drury was also at the Stadium and says he is confident med staff is making progress with his migraines/blurred vision; he's not worried. Now the shocker: Ellsbury who is on the DL for an oblique then hip injury and now a new injury - sorry I was soby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
It's still possible - Cessa & Dom were both brought up at the time CC & Drury were placed on the DL. Andjuar still needs seasoning on his D. I was thinking Gley would be brought closer to May 1 - patienceby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
we learned from Joe G that those decisions don't come from the manager. Cash & cyber team will decide what computers spit out - not many decisions in baseball seem to be made by humans yet the errors, batting slumps, missing location or control - are human factors. Becoming to dependent on machines & I don't like it. I will continue to support my Yankees but is it fair to yell at managersby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Game 2 has been postponed and could be made up as a DHer on June 4th. Both teams are off & the Yankees would be traveling between Baltimore & Toronto so a stopover in Detroit wouldn't be inconvenient. June 7th is also an off day for the Yankees which might be beneficial to the pitchers.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
so far that's 5 pp'd in Detroit . Wish they would just say tonight is postponed so the Yankees can be back to NY. Looks like Cessa will lose out on this & be going back to S/WB - CC is eligible to come off the DL Tuesday & is on schedule. Timing for the batters is going to suffer with this too.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Smart move IF the weather clears first game starts with YES pregame at noon. First game 1:10 night game at 7 - give me the old-fashioned twinbill - two games for the price of one. BUT can't wait - the only thing that will keep me away from my telly would be Stacey asking me to go to a wake for one her classmates - it really sucks when I lose my friends but my child should not, Any how probablyby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Motor City & the Midwest is being hit with bad weather - the Yankees/Tiggers along with other games have already been postponed. Has not been rescheduled yetby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
only two games with the Marlins. We need to go on a roll & kick butt before the big guns come in with Toronto, Cleveland, Boston, etc Is time to worry about Dellin??? He almost blew that lead last night & like a good manager Boone is defending him.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
was hoping the brawl would ignite a fire under their collective butts to come out swinging - bats not fists last night. Let's see what the Motor City has in store.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
beginning to look like Sonny doesn't have the mettle to pitch for the Yankees - he says he has to attack the batters when he does, his stuff is unhittable we saw that against the O's but last night he was tenuous after getting two strikes & he has no confidence in Sanchez, keeps shaking him off. Appears to be a prima donna and not Yankee material. Might had a better chance starting Dom &by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Aaron Hicks rejoins the team for the finale tonight as the DH. Tyler Austin is on the bench Neil Walker is on 1st; Torreyes is at 3rd. Making room for Hicks, Shane Robinson has been DFA.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Tyler Austin received 5 games - will appeal. Joe Kelly - 6 games (which is BS for a pitcher throwing at a batter) also appealing. Both were fined along with Phil Nevin, Joey Cora, CC, Dustin Pedoria. Xander Bogarts & Martinez (four players who are on the DL getting involved automatic fine) . Nevin was cool last night in his interview just wanted to how much his fine would be & pay it.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I never liked him as a player and now managing the Sux he takes it to a new level. I can see defending his player in the brawl - any good manager & teammate would. But is sign language to Phil Nevins warranted his ejection - if he had the guts to yell it, he would have been. It was an insult and degrading - more reasons to hate the Sux. Other managers I wouldn't like just because they were thby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Got to watch ENCORE this morning - I need to figure out what Kahnle did - thinking the umpires might have screwed up on his ejection. Post Game - Aaron Judge was cool with his part - didn't really answer questions. Stanton could take a lesson on being less committal with answers especially n that situation & get rid of that smug lookby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
In all started when Tyler Austin slid into 2nd feet first - Brock Holt took exception when the spike clipped his ankle/lower leg. In the 7th Joe Kelly missed one attempt to hit Tyler but connected on the second. Ty threw down his bat and went after Kelly - when the smoke cleared. The steam roller effect of Judge & Stanton with CC bringing up the rear had effectively pushed the Sux players wayby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
wasn't a trade but I wish we had signed Toddler to the 2-year deal he wanted. Andjuar is a long way from being a ML hot corner even adequate everyday player.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I suffered through to the bitter end but didn't have the heart for post game. I did my own. We endured 5-5 with mediocre teams including two devastating extra inning losses at home vs. the O's. Thought last night was our best shot against the Sux with Severino on the mound - But he really couldn't do anything from the first inning even though Boone let him struggle through 5 (maybe trying to saveby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
As the bottom of the first gets underway, there was no BP because of weather. We have two "rookie" OFers - Stanton in Left & Robinson in Center - who have no experience with the green monster. Worst - Severino is off to a horrid start - double, walk & rbi single 0 outs.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
The Yankees signed OFer Shane Robinson to a major league contract - & he gets to start in center field at Funkway tonight. To make room on the 40-man roster Jace Peterson has been DFA. Aaron Boone was on Michael Kay - Aaron Hicks is playing tonight in Scranton and could be activated for Thursday's game 3.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Severino vs. Sale has the ear mark for a pitching duel - BUT both must bring their "A" game. No Gardy in tonight's lineup - Sanchez will DH as Boone has tweaked another lineup -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ten games into the 2018 season - so far plenty of disappointments. Only won one series out of three; the big guns struggle in the clutch; pen has sputtered; injuries & illness have taken a toll. Following a devastating weekend AT HOME against Showalter & the O's, we head to BeanTown still unsure who will start the 3rd game. Am I disappointed, upset, frustrated & upset - of course. Wilby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
time for Stanton to wake up - he was fine in game 1 at Toronto but not much since; 2 games he K's 5 times a first in his career. Is putting too much pressure on himself - we've seen from others. He needs to settle down. I like Montgomery but when he didn't have his stuff early & wasn't finding it, should have been taken out earlier. I'm not the pitching coach but could see Jordy just wasn't oby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
