They'd prefer that Estrada plays every day. He was going to be the corresponding move for Torres if he needed an IL stint - but since Gleyber is expected to be back in the lineup soon, there's nowhere for Thairo to really get regular PT so he'd be relegated to the bench most games.
Valera obviously isn't ideal - but it's easier to just have him ride the pine 5 times a week so that Estrada can keep getting AB's in Scranton.
6 inches over the zone that was 4 inches higher than the ball he called for Janssen with Janssen being much taller. So chest high on Valera - strike. 2 inches over belt high on Janssen ball.

calls out an umpire, but Segal got some "love" this morning. In the post game interview, Crew Chief Iassogna tried to explain away the ejection saying Gardy had hit the dugout roof with his bat. But the Post's Ken Davidoff questions whether that is relevant(even if it was, it was the previous pitch). And Coney explained that you cannot call the umpire terrible(personal), but normally saying a call was terrible is acceptable(within reason of course). Segal said Grady (it was Maybin) said he was effin terrible, but actually Maybin said the call was effin terrible. So Segal not only heard the wrong thing, he blamed the wrong person. So his hearing was as bad as his vision.
Also, nobody questioned the double hit it call on Maybin's dribbler.
BTW, the umps did not lose that game, Happ did, with some help.
is that there is no accountability. Segal didn't make himself available to the media after. The crew chief dodged questions. Meanwhile you can force a 20 something year old player to face a barrage of media after messing up a game. Segal wont be called in, fined or reprimanded even behind the scenes.
I wonder if we'd be thinking this if not for the juiced balls...
Happ's 4-seamer generates a ton of fly balls, and a lot of fly ball guys are having problems this year.
Not totally defending Happ, but some of the HR numbers around the league are absurd right now. It's August 10th and we already have 4 guys right on the precipice of 40 HR's (Yelich, Trout, Alonso, Bellinger) - at least one of these guys is going to hit 50+ and my guess is all 4 will at least get close.
A guy like Freddy Galvis is going to hit 20+ HR's this year and he's not even playing full time now that Bichette has been called up.
performance science and analytics team are at identifying and acquiring position players they are that bad at identifying and acquiring starting pitchers. Hopefully Severino and Betances can be available and effective in the playoffs. Because the Yankees are going to have to try to win 3 playoff series with very limited starting pitching.
Didi ripped that.
Bichette is a tremendous fucking pain in the ass already.
Anyone have the foggiest why Estrada isn't up?

LOL... I can just picture him saying this and it's cracking me up.
6-2
Was unreal.
...pitching in the 4th.
Wow, does he absolutely suck this year, and I don't give a shit if his team gave the Blue Jays 20 outs in that inning.
Happ pitched scared.
Gotta drop him out of the rotation come playoff time.

I think he is hurt.

Happ pitched scared.
He just does not have a put away pitch. How many two strike hits did he give up? I'm guessing most of his hits given up were with two strikes.
It's just as bad as freaking ever... every night.
both of them.....
Before that he had a streak of six hitless appearences...
He needs to pitch angrier
Not only thin skinned, but a huge strike zone. It made for bad baseball.
Also, nobody questioned the double hit it call on Maybin's dribbler.

...my next door neighbor's Yellow Lab can call better balls and strikes.

3rd year option - ( New Window )
I don’t really care if they light their money on fire, but for as long as ownership has an upper bound on the payroll, I can’t help but care.
It would be lunacy to just stroll along like nothing is wrong and stumble into the third year of that awful deal.
