NFT: Tanaka having general arm soreness

worth a try, but please let's just get it done with.

now.

not his elbow. FWIW.

?

I'm wondering, though, why they released Joseph yesterday if they were making the Hill move for Outman today. We now have an open spot on the 40.

tonight i will definitely be praying. If he has TJ surgery that is going to be just fucking awful.

Then I don't see the need to panic. From all reports up to today he has been doing very well.

they'll keep pushing it back as long as they can. It would suck to lose him for part of 2016 along with all of next season.

Love these comments...

I'm pretty sure Joseph wasn't on the 40-man. He was released and resigned in the offseason, IIRC. If he was it was probably to clear room for someone on a 9/1 call-up.

Ellsbury hit the first ever HR off Loup by a lefty, according to Feinsand.

...

1) It is not his elbow, it is described as general arm soreness

2) I wish everyone would stop with the hysterics over him. You don't just scream get the surgery every time a guy has elbow pain. Plus, not all the surgeries for elbow pain are TJS.

3) This is really not a surprise. Even though the Yankees camp (or was it just the beat writers) were saying 1 more rehab start, Tanaka himself, through his interpreter, said he wasn't ready. He felt his arm was still not strong enough to pitch in the majors.

4) Back to #2, if he still only has a slight tear, TJS is not the prescribed course of treatment.

That was blocking the plate.

He was both safe AND the catcher blocked the plate. How was that possibly overturned?

There's no rhyme or reason to when they call it.

Great job by Robertson.

it'll take more than that to get back into things, but I'm still glad to see some fight in them.
