technically he only misses two games Austin would have caught Jordy today plus it being a short turn around from last nights MLB screwupby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
all I kept saying was c'mon umpires grow some balls and shove in SPN's face - I'm still pissed at the Commish for allowing the Sux network to manipulate the schedules anti-Yankee.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
me too - had to love the 2 out rally following the overturned call at 1st.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
it's official Hicks is on the DL - last time it took 6 weeks. No word yet on C> Frazier - that's the problem when the games not on YES. Idiots at SPN have no clue about baseball, especially the Yankees.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that was revealed post game - which is concern down the road BUT Red Thunder looms on the horizonby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
yep when you think about the "slide" coincided with Matty's slump the precursor of the illness. Remember Matt's old school where we play through the aches & pains, never admit to fatigue. Now for him to finish September to the back of his baseball card.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Welcome back Matt - goes deep for three giving the Yankees & Tanaka a 4-1 win. Tank was super going to 1 batter in the 8th - DRob closed out the 8th & Dellin whiffed the 3 in the 9th for the win - not a save situation but the pen did. Headley started the scoring taking Pomeranz deep. I don't care it's always special to beat the Sux or the Muts. Side note: Hicks was replaced by Ells = leavby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Jim RIce overstepped his bounds - but what would you expect from NESN. But Nunez is right, bunting is part of the game and if you can do it, go for it. Sabathia should have said more along the lines - if I hadn't made a throwing error, you would have been out, I'm getting better at fielding my position, knee brace & all. Instead he challenged every other team to lay down the bunts, challengeby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
still not sure what CC meant or if he was just trying to motivate - but if I was hitting against him I would bunt to - it was his knee that kept him from fielding the bunt- it was his errant throw that allowed Nunez to reachby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Matt Holliday has been activated prior to tonight's game from the DL. Ben Heller, Jordy Montgomery & Bryan Mitchell are September call-ups from S/WB. Luis Cessa has been placed on the 60-day DL with ribcage injury - makes room to put catcher Eric Kratz on the 40-man roster - necessary move with the pending suspensions to Sanchez & Romine.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Talk about trying to stack their deck - the Stros traded 3 draft picks to the Tigers for Justin Verlander. Detroit is really cutting salary - first Upton to the Halos now just in time so he will be eligible to pitch post season - Houston has 3 quality starters. Tell me they're not in it to win it ALL.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sabathia has really stepped up this year - coming through with solid pitching & even fielding those bunts. Looks like Bird is in form following that surgery. and Baltimore lost -that's a plusby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Four with the Sux then we head to Baltimore for 3. That's 7 HUGE games - Beantown leads the AL by 5.5 while we hold a 2.5 game lead over the Os - this caps off when we return to the Bronx for 4 games against the O's beginning the 14th. In a sense we do still control our destiny for 2017 - we need to win at least 8/11 of these plus do well with the remainder of the schedule.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Weather could play a factor in this weekend - a 4 game series with the Sux in the Bronx. For the our guys in pinstripes, this will have a huge bearing on the how the season will end. Joe has set the proposed rotation: Sabathia, Gray, Tanaka and Severino; with the horrid pitching yesterday the middle pen could be the problem as both Garcia & Jordy struggled. Trailing by 5.5 - even a sweep onlby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I knew he could have made the exchange - didn't realize you were season holder thought you bought a certain package - OH well, you're in better shape than the Yankees.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Jordy had nothing in the 1st inning - giving up 4 runs. Bats are dead in YankeeLand. Watching Aaron Judge after hearing he has experienced pain the shoulder since July - he's trying to shrug it off and every player goes through it doesn't hold water. Joe gave him 2 complete days off; he didn't pick up a bat until today and that shoulder still seems to be dipping (maybe not as much as Sunday but sby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Last night was a rainout and Game 1 was a *^%$#@$$# loss 1-2 - Garcia has not done much as a Yankee, not getting out the 5th inning in his starts - maybe it was only 2 runs - and yeah listening to Michael Kay the pass ball didn't help BUT neither missing location so pitches were hittable. Maybe he should be put in the bull pen for September - games are at a premium - every loss puts the ALE out oby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that sucks - he should at least split the differenceby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Guess it's raining in NYC - tonight's game against the Indians has been postponed. Tomorrow will be a straight (2 for 1) DHer beginning at 1 pm. Tickets for tomorrow will be honored. Tickets for tonight can be exchanged for games through the end of the 2018 season.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Lineup is out for tonight and Aaron Judge is on the bench. In pregame interviews, Joe said he will get a couple days off in hopes of recharging the batteries - took long enough. Hopefully he will come back and not dip that shoulder during his swings and start hitting to right/center & right field again. We need his power back.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
10 runs 15 hits but 2 errors by Toddler of the Baby Bombers. Tank was solid - able to maneuver until he found his curve, take control when he was in trouble with runners on or 3 balls - 6 hits, 1 run 1 w and 10 Ks - been lights out since the end of June. Looking for carryover with the Indians coming in for 3 - Severino, Garcia & Sabathia are scheduled to start. Final 10-1 awaiting the resultby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Not rally making fun of the M's - it could happen to any team including & yes it has to the Yankees. But I can't stop laughing , it's that sad. 5 errors in the bottom of the first. You have to see it to believe it - 6 runs scored, 1 earned. Some including A A RON who had 1 in the top of the inning might be a result of the tough left field sun. The M's SS, Seguro had 3 errors and leads the lby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
I'm watching ENCORE went to the fair with the grandkids & Stacey this afternoon - but know the Yankees won this one & the O's beat the Sux again. We managed to cut the lead to 3 games. Sonny does get the win - but have to agree with Michael Kay he is a slow deliberate guy. The abs look crisper than the lethargy last night, maybe it was aftereffects of the nonsense in Detroit.
