My schedule says Yes for both

Is so important, just look at the great results from it. I am too old I think, my time has passed, better for me to just cheer for my teams and don't bother to have an opinion. I simply do not understand at all anymore. We are talking about fucking baseball, these injuries are mind boggling, and I do not feel that it is the medical staff or the trainers either.

Anyone have any faith that Severino will be back this season and pitching well?

What about your opinions of Judge and Stanton? Anyone remember when Stanton was always injured, early in his career?

This is now the second year in a row that Judge has had a significant injury. Sure he was hit by a pitch last season, it can't be prevented, I agree completely with that, yet here we are.

I guess you all must be beaming with confidence over Andujar's injury, another DL stint should straighten this right out.


If you are like me you have no concern at all over Hicks, this is just a back injury, and he just got his long term contract, so he should be ready to roll, no concern at all.


Of coarse I am being sarcastic, I am concerned and frustrated as a Yankee fan about them all. Is it me that feels even more concerned when I see players being rested at times I feel it is pathetic to do so? Why are we going out of our way to rest players constantly, it never ends, every game there is someone, the A lineup is never used, because we are always resting someone. I know this is all me, but it all concerns me, I never seen these things with the Jeter teams, or with the Munson teams, Mantle wanted to kill himself before he would be taken out of a lineup, at least when you see that type of attitude it makes you feel like the players are all in. Like I said, I am a dinosaur.

this year. Judge hard to say. Hopefully after the all star break but probably closer to September if at all. Stanton? Who cares? They're probably better off without him in the playoffs and they probably don't need him to get there.

I just sometimes wonder how dumb fans can get. The guy is coming off a long injury with a back and you want him to play a double header his first games back. Man, oh man.

for game 2..

I hear ya Paul. In the old world you were expected to actually play every day and play hurt to help your team. Those days are over. Todays players are juicing and live in the gym to add even more muscle mass/bulk. Their frames are maxed out and most of the injuries are weight training related and not baseball injuries. Rarely will anyone play more than 140 games now. It is ironic that being unnaturally stronger and bigger makes you even more susceptible to injury. But that is baseball today.

You’re better off ignoring assclowns like Mike Graves, averagejoe and prdave. They simply aren’t very bright and make us all worse off for having to read their bullshit.

Yeah cause a guy like Stanton with a career .905 OPS is not needed at all. Ignore that he helped carry this team last year after the Judge injury and this team would not have made the playoffs last year without him.

I see the fan dumb is strong today.

gives up the HR to Mancini....

If opinions you don't agree with offend you don't read them. And then maybe go have a good cry.

the visitor's BP....monster shot. 1-1

That has to be an out.

in his one year with the Yankees. NL games for a bottom feeder team are meaningless. His .444 ALDS OPS and K'ing 33% of the time was invaluable too. I hope he goes on the Ellsbury plan.

427 foot shot for Torres after a 443 footer from Sanchez

with a big fly to straight away CF.....

Defense is the new moneyball in MLB. Completely undervalued.

if the season continues the way it has, Cash may sign some of the fans!

so long as Happ can hold this AAAA lineup at bay.

was Bernie that bad in CF? I know he had a noodle arm but I feel like his range was really good when he first came up.

Posada was a total butcher though. No way the Yankees were winning any WS titles with defense like that at catcher.

He had enough speed then to outrun his bad routes and slow reactions, but he was one of the worst outfielders I've ever seen over the second half of his career. His arm was atrocious and once he lost a step or two he couldn't get to anything.

So many good vibes from the B and C team winning that no one's really noticed how ice cold he's been....now riding a 2-31 streak after that strikeout.

Was always a good CF with a bad arm

Steaming hot to now ice cold. And it is not like he's being blown away. He's just missing pitches.

to well below average at pretty much the same time he started winning gold gloves. Of course going a full season in CF without recording an error looked at lot more impressive then than it does now.

he makes me happy we forewent Corbin to get Happy for three years of slowpitch.

3-3

I'm going to think...."We could have had Corbin for a few million more per year."

Signing Happ over Corbin didn't make sense at the time....and looks like a horrific decision now.

Who could have guessed that a 36 year old pitcher overly reliant on his FB could go south so quickly?

is we had Corbin in the building and we let him go .

It's 3 more years, as Happy signed a 3 year deal. Plus Corbin has an enormous amount of deferred money....present day value is probably around $20 million year vs. $17million for Happ.

.

but I'd gladly pay $6million more a year for Corbin than Happ.

2 with the third year option like Dune posted.

he is less then 10 feet from the bag at first looking clearly at the play but calls the batter safe on the double play throw. Who is that blind ump that the replay had to show up?

but if he's pitching like this he won't be in the rotation long enough next year for it to vest (165 IP or 27 starts).

So we can just cherry pick stats? His NL stats and MVP are meaningless? My god. He has a career .905 OPS and +wRC 142. Those are both better than Bryce Harper who some fans wanted to throw 13 year contracts at.

I really don't know how fans can get this dumb.

That was really close, talking a few inches. And they go by sound more than see. I thought he was safe in real time.

of a doubleheader . At lest wait for him to give up a baserunner before pulling him early . Just taxing your bullpen like this is stupid

can usually take what arnie says and apply the opposite to it and you'll be right more than the current Jeopardy champion.

Did happ leave with an injury. He only had 64 pitches,and e have another game today.

Nope. Just pulled him.

the pen is rested and they have Cortes up to eat innings if necessary. Boone would be getting blasted if he left Happ in and it backfired.

Nope. Just retired 4 in a row. But he wasn't sharp and I guess boone decided to bullpen it.
If he had a three or four run lead, he probably stays in the game.

but he is cooked. He should at least bat 9th at this point when he does play

Thanks guys.

He’s done much better than I’d initially expected and he has carved out a nice career. Other than the grand slam, I can’t recall any clutch hits from him this year. It’s time for him to ride off into the sunset after this season.

Yeah, he needs to sit more and he will once Hicks is established. At this point he is a defensive replacement.

but I'm not sure how much longer I can watch that dude pour baby powder on his junk at the bottom of every thread.

Set to start after this commercial - about 6:40ish

we have to pound Cashner this time.

He looks lost at the plate

can't fucking call those low strikes. 3 true outcome BS is guaranteed when they give pitchers extra help.

Before that at bat why not sit him this game play Morales at first and DH Sanchez who did not play Sunday followed by two rain outs and a off day tomorrow. This Boone really drives me nuts with these line up decisions

pitch thinking FB getting change. You just saw an umpire get fooled by a change up. Looked like a FB strike on the way and fell of the table just in front of the plate. It was under Hicks' front knee before reaching the plate.

some support here.

If he throws strikes, we've got a top 3 starter here, or even better.

right on the nose but right at people.

a quiet but good day

That extension was smart

playing left because Hicks is back...

are really missing the big names now . They are winning games recently with great pitching and defense but the offense has been sleeping

coming up in the zone the last two innings...

And Why oh Why is Cessa up and not Britton or Kahnle?

Come on German. One more.

German baby!

Out of a jam there. We'll probably see Cessa next inning.

Hello, offense, please do something against the Orioles at home.

allowing German to work out of it. Big confidence boost and learning moment....

Please get Britton, Kahnle, Green or Ottavino up for the 8th.

going 7 strong . I wish 2 of the big 4 were available to close out the game so we didn't have to rely on cessa to close it out

Kind of surprising to me, though.

has been very impressive

Per YES. Just made a thread for those not watching the game.

Done for the season

He just didn't look right since he came back. I give him credit for trying, though.

Especially since something is seriously wrong with Robertson. The Phillies say it is a flexor strain- but he was bad when he pitched, they rehabed him- and when he tried to throw, they had to shut him down for at least 3 more weeks.

Wouldn't be surprised if this turned into TJ for Robertson.

- batting righty this time.

and has been for a long time now going back to last year . I really hope hicks, frazier, and maybin get a majority of the playing time with morales at DH until stanton is back

He looks more like 2014-2016 Zach Britton who was basically unhittable with that 97mph two seamer. Obviously if he throws like that he is much better than Robertson. He is also 3 years younger which is important.

Throwing 101...

Great pitching

Bases loaded no one out. Sawx up 5-2

both cessa and adams were warming up today so that means they weren't planning on starting either of them this weekend

Ace.

This team is unbelievable. Well deserved day off tomorrow and then we show the Rays what’s up.

I look forward to Friday’s game thread with the usual cast of characters killing Boone on his lineup decisions. He’s obviously an imbecile that can’t get out of his own way. Doesn’t know who to start, who to rest, where to put the guys in the batting order and which pitchers to bring in and when. Good times!

team. Seems to push all the right buttons.

Need to give credit where credit is due.

from the shitbag Marlins, who have scored 0 runs vs the Rays through 15 innings thus far.

Nice.

Good to see the Pinstripers, with a double dip!
It sounds like Happ wasn't too excited being taken out
in Game 1, but didn't make a stink about it at least.
