Jonathan Loaisiga's shoulder injury? Last news was that the team was placing him on the 7-day DL with shoulder tightness and sending him for an MRI. That was about two weeks ago.
Fucking Clint Frazier has a concussion again  
superspynyg : 7/21/2018 11:03 am : link
we need to trade him before he becomes untradeable due to medical.

As for our pitching if we want a chance this season we need to add a SP but there is not much out there. Happ and Hamels and such are both 35 year old rentals not worth top prospects. And they are not worth a long term deal for big money.

Is Fulmers stock falling? I doubt the Giants trade Bumgardner.
Too late on Frazier the damage is done  
arniefez : 7/21/2018 11:07 am : link
Fulmar is on the DL with an oblique injury. I'm sure Cashman is trying to improve the team but it may not be possible this year. They can make a run with what they have now and depending on how this year ends we'll see what happens over the winter. The window for the next 5 years is wide open for this team.

How many times is this, 3? He may be untradeable at this point until he proves to last longer than a month without the symptoms.

Fulmer was placed on the 10 day DL with an oblique strain and it seems like it is going to be awhile until healthy. IMO, good. It sucks that another pitcher is probably off the market which may up the price for the limited SP already on the market but I wanted nothing to do with him.
Acevedo is probably up for a cup of coffee  
Beer Man : 7/21/2018 11:09 am : link
Read another article that they sent German down yesterday, Acevedo is already on the 40 man roster and only three hours away in Trenton (the AAA team is currently in Columbus), so it made sense to call him up to provide an extra RP arm for today's game.

I wonder if the idea is to showcase him as part of a trade, maybe even to the Mets.

Yes, he goes down when Cessa comes up to fill German's slot!

Correct, Cessa is really the one replacing German, but Cessa started yesterday...might as well use the 25-man spot for a usable arm the next 3-4 days.
No excuses today for the Yanks  
bigbluehoya : 7/21/2018 11:19 am : link
(Not that there were any acceptable ones yesterday)

Cespedes out of the lineup, Familia will not be used again (but still of course remains on the 25-man roster). Weak lineup, short bullpen.

Be smart, and make Matz throw a ton of pitches.

As for Sonny — there’s nothing he can do in 1 start to flip the script on his season, but this one sets up pretty well for him. Go get it done.

Drury gets the start at 2B, Gardy sits, Stanton in LF, Gary DH.

I’m not an alarmist, but a loss would simply not be acceptable today.

To the DL with an oblique. Longshot gets longer.

If he pitches well, this would make for two good starts in a row for him.

Yes, but against two shitty offenses. We'd all have to see more but maybe it'd give him some confidence. His last outing was one of the best I've seen from him as a Yankee.
Is this the game thread?

Thanks for adding the lineups
Wonder what the Yanks record has been...  
M.S. : 7/21/2018 11:48 am : link

...since their 2nd baseman went down?
Well  
Jeever : 7/21/2018 11:52 am : link
I think you include Frazier, German and some minor pieces for a SP. If it's a premium SP with control I'd be willing to put Andujar in that mix. Maybe Sonny Gray going the other way.

German has great stuff but his delivery is atrocious. Inconsistent and arm trouble waiting to happen. Hate to give Andujar away but you have to give something to get something. Cashman has played it pretty well so far. Let's hope he can work something out.

ZGiants98 : 7/21/2018 11:53 am : link
The Mets do have someone close to Yankee Stadium that they could conceivably activate, but they don't anticipate a Familia trade getting finalized before 1 p.m. Thus, they'll play short today.

Yup. I bet Acevedo is only here for today. Gallegos threw 40 pitches in 2.2 innings on TH night. And they are out in Columbus, Ohio. So Gallegos probably wasn't even available for today, let alone would have been real tight getting him here for a 1:00 game today.

But I would expect Gallegos to be swapped for Acevedo tomorrow. And then Gallegos will go back down, when they need Cessa to start in 4 days.
Sonny looking fantastic early

On the curveball / two-seam early. That pitch combination is really nice when he’s on.

Cabrera’s reaction  
bigbluehoya : 7/21/2018 2:38 pm : link
Was drastic enough that he didn’t really have a choice IMO.
Matz FIP  
Metnut : 7/21/2018 2:39 pm : link
has been near 5 all year. He’s a 5th starter at best. If Mets go into next year with Matz and Vargas as their 4/5 they are punting 2019.

I guess, I wish umps would be a bit more understanding of a poor initial reaction. If they continue after that, then fine toss them. But that was really quick.

Thats a major stretch. It's 4.71 for the year and as Ive pointed out it was much better in June than earlier in the year. He's a fine 4th starter if he's healthy.
