But not in today’s line up, Gardner in there against the lefty Happ who I would like the Yankees to get. BTW Hale was DFA
Here is the line up
New York Yankees
Record: 56-29
LFBrett Gardner (L)
RFAaron Judge (R)
DHG. Stanton (R)
CFAaron Hicks (S)
3BMiguel Andujar (R)
SSDidi Gregorius (L)
2BBrandon Drury (R)
CKyle Higashioka (R)
1BGreg Bird (L)
he has a 4.03 era with 110 k's. That's is good not great. He is not worth giving up any of our top prospects for. He is a URFA next season.

I'd agree with that except he's done well vs the Sox. I don't want to give up a lot for him either but we still have a decent amount of games left vs the Sox and he could be a difference maker.
Would have to imagine Sheffield will be in line for a start soon. Or maybe Hale as he pitched well least night

I’d give up a good prospect for happ but like you said not an elite one. Happ is kind of perfect for the yanks — he’s a lefty and maybe a bit underrated. Won’t have to liquify the farm but he should represent an upgrade over the likes of gray or German or someone not named severino,CC or hopefully Tanaka. He would slide right into the 4th spot. Lefty in Yankee stadium... sign me up.

Same here. Then I'd go after Hamels if they can't get Happ but I want no part of Fulmer or Harvey.
I'd also see what it would take for Hand from SD while I'm at it. Even though I know he'd be costly.
We have to winder whether this is a "conveninently timed" injury- the Yanks need to limit Loaisiga's innings, and this allows them to shut him down for a few weeks and help keep him near the cap.

"shoulder inflammation" according to Bryan Hoch. He'll see another doctor on Monday.

No. Yanks can do whatever they want with him down in minors. Rest him without DL'able injury. You dont give someone a MRI, and lessen his trade value with a fake injury. Stupid theory.
SELLERS looking for 'groceries' at the Yankees Farm(pun intended).
Haha. Here I am saying how I didn't like what I was seeing from Gardy vs lefties and he leads off the game going yard vs one!
Maybe seeing Frazier get called up did have something to do with it. Kinda like Bird last week when they called Drury up.
Hale's been in the league since 2013, so he's out of options and has to pass through waivers before going to the minors.
I don't think this is what is going to happen.
I think Tanaka pitches one of the games- but I think with Loiasiga going down, there is a good chance that the Yanks might start Sheffield.
Sheffield is the scheduled starter tomorrow for AAA. It would not be a big deal to bump his start back one day. Remember that the Yanks just opened a 40 man roster spot by DFAing Hale. That can easily go to Sheffield.
Tip your cap to him. He’s on a mission to help out his future team. Kudos to him for his forward thinking

Lol. That would explain all the walks and his helping Stanton on that infield grounder...
What’s the rush? Longer you wait the less you might have to give.
I would think that the ump has a problem if both sides have people tossed arguing balls and strikes. This is the shit that MLB needs to discipline umpires for.
Yeah, not to sharp today. Hope he can get through 5...

It would be nice if they’d hurry this up. Like, within the next half hour? Unless of course he already knows he has a good chance to end up in NY and goes out there and does us a solid today...

It went over your head apparently

Cessa will now make the other start on Monday in double header. He will be the extra player for the double header and then go right back down to minors. DFA'ing Hale was a no brainer since he wouldn't be available for 4-5 days. Already carrying an extra pitcher so a position player was the move. Not to mention def needed Frazier with the two lefties pitching this weekend and a double header on Monday. Tanaka back on Tuesday.

Wrong Rich. Tanaka is pitching TU. CC is pitching one of the DH games. Cessa will be pitching the other. They're not going to commit a 40 man spot to Sheffield yet, unless he is really needed. And a one-time spot start for a DH is not that.
"Cramping in his left leg"
Sounds like *phew* moment...
Bummed I will not see Torres
Yeah, just heard that. Thanks...
Maybe so but Gardy misplayed the 2nd one. His first step or two was back and that cost him any chance of coming in and making the catch.

Almost effed up the 1st pop up in the 7th and Gardner bailed him out. Then looked like he got in Gardner's way on the 2nd one, giving Grandy a double.

While the drop step slowed him, the ball dropped 10 feet in front of him and he had stopped because of Drury running straight out. No Drury, and Gardner gets there. Drury had no chance at the ball.
So I disagree. Gardner catches it without Drury in the way.
or not...

C'mon man. I know you like Gardy and we all do but that was clearly on him and was a bit more than a drop step. More like a full step/step and a half back. Had he broke in immediately he would've had a shot at catching it regardless of whatever Drury did. If he's charging in the whole way chances are he's calling for it the whole time and Drury isn't anywhere near the play. Can't fault Drury for going back and trying to catch it.
I also think he stopped because once he knew he couldn't get it, he didn't want the ball bouncing over his head like it did to Pillar earlier. Which was the smart play there. No doubt he took the hint from the Pillar play.
He was 10 ft from the ball when it hit the turf. That is one running step - 1. Gardy was standing still when it landed. If he is running he catches it. OFs often misjudge
flies and the fast ones can make up for it.
Wanna blame him, fine if it makes you happy. Point is Drury had no chance whatsoever on the 1st pop up and almost got in the way and had none on the 2nd and he did was get in everyone's way.
Another how can you possibly miss that call pitch...
because he hadn't pitched since July 3 and does worse the more rest he has.
Are closers only supposed to pitch in save situations? Have you ever watched how every manager uses their closer? I know I sound like a dick but that is a ridiculous comment.

Was Chapman even pitching in a non save situation

Yep, closers and setup men all need work to stay sharp. Hey, the alternative was Shreve...
Oh wait, it was anyway.
And wow they still won! Remarkable.

With Sonny Gary in their Rotation. He always struggles and rarely gets to the 5th inning with a lead. He is an Automatic loss, and a bull pen killer. The Yankees have to make a deal to replace Gray or bite the bullet and promote Sheffield. Sheffield has nastier stuff than Gray and is a AAA all star with a low ERA and high strike out %. He is also a lefty. Many fans and sports writers claim that the Yankees would be worse off with Sheffield that Gray, because Sheffield has not pitched in the major leagues . All I can say is that Sheffield is a better pitcher than Gray who could not replace Sheffield as the Ace in Scranton. He is also better than Johny " Lasgana" who was promoted from AA, pitched for the Yanks and was sent down to AAA. I don't understand the logic of "you cant promote an unproven Starter" Under that logic no young pitcher in your organization would ever make it to the majors. It is ridiculous to make the argument that a young pitcher is not ready yet. How do you ever know when a pitcher is ready? Sheffield is 22 y/o and not 19 and has shown he has the stuff to pitch in MLB and his stats show that he is ready If he is traded to a last place team for a re-tread ML starter the writers would say ,,its now ok to start him in MLB with that struggling team because there is no pressure. There is pressure everywhere in the Major Leagues compared to AAA due to the higher level of competition to keep your job and the MONEY you are paid and need to protect. What is the MLB minimum salary now.. is it not over $2 million a year? That is why the Major leagues is referred to as the "SHOW" by players on the way up who don't see that kind of money in AAA or below. Cashman made a trade in 2016 to acquire Sheffield for a reason. He has the TALENT to succeed in MLB. We have seen the decline of Sonny Gray and how he hurts your entire pitching staff by not providing enough quality innings. When he pitches the game is usually over by the third inning. I am not sure what Cashman or the scouts saw in Gray when he was pitching for Oakland. Whatever they saw was a mirage. The time for Sheffield is NOW, or forget about winning the division.

Troll or no troll, Sonny Gray needs to be off this team. As in N.O.W.
can we stop it with his obvious troll?
off the team doesn’t fix the problem. It’s obviously best he fixes it here and becomes a longterm asset, if that’s still a possibility, maybe out of the pen for awhile.
He can be shelved for a few weeks because of the break, and maybe go to the back of the pen.
After the break if he's not straightened out, then maybe he can be part of a waiver trade.
You are a real piece of shit. You register in November 2017, make a fool of yourself every single time you post, and you say I’m a Red Sox fan or Mets fan? Just more evidence that your sorry ass has no clue what you’re talking about.
Are you ever going to tell us what your last handle was, troll? What a pathetic, pathetic life.
