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.

You are right. A couple of WTF posts that are truly annoying.

HR! 3-2

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 .

A few million? What $7 mill per season.

Through 1995, he was. After that? Not so much.

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.
