Thairo Estrada had to move to right field yesterday when Brett Gardner was ejected. Today he’s on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Tyler Wade on his way up from AAA.
And, somebody put Gardy in the clubhouse between innings!
Come on jints, Gardy is the black plague of the AL. He should be blamed. Banging the bat probably caused him to jump.
Guess that somehow will be a negative play because Urshela is not a good defensive player.
Also I liked that Gary partial blocked the plate.
I would not want to be around him when he does.

Same.
I feel like a side effect of too wide a zone is hitters adjust and start chasing more. Not that that excuses the swing. But, our hitters are in a really shitty spot.
It’s infuriating.

Yep, the umps should be held accountable and have to do press conferences after every series.
It’s infuriating.
Agree. Torre is full of crap with that. I dont like him in this role. And you are right with the umps not having to face the media. When Gardner was thrown out for doing nothing a few games back the ump "didn't make himself available to the media." I feel like officiating has always been suspect but it is worse now. And they are way to thin skinned and looking to eject people.
It's beyond rediculous at this point. I foolishly hoped it would get better as the season wore on but Judge continues to get royally screwed.
I hate the umps not being held accountable for their poor performances and having their own strike zones where they expect players to adjust to them instead of them adjusting to different players.
There's no way the same low pitch can be a strike to every player regardless of their height. It's mind boggling how they expect teams and fans to just accept this bullshit.
This is what I expected from CC today.
Getting roughed up, that's for sure.
I'd let him throw 100 pitches LOL
Is he cooked?

On one hand he might re-injure himself worse, on the other maybe he might as well throw 90 pitches since he's all warmed up anyway...

He'll be there this inning. He is toast.
That sounds good to me.
Is he cooked?
I think he is done. Cant ask for more.

Just not his day. That's all.

I hope so, but when you see his pitches high or rising his knee is barking.

Hasn't been his year, really.
Who knows? Definitely one of the weirder guys on the mound in a while.

Probably hasn't washed it in a week or so.
Damn, that Tauchman liner was just about what they needed to get back in it right away...
Even though I did not think any of them were. One was called fatboy Joe West, IIRC.
Umpire Cuzzi: Any way to keep him out of future Yankee games?
Clevinger has helped, too, of course.
Quote:
CC took them out of it almost right away.
Clevinger has helped, too, of course.
Sure. But giving up 4 runs in the first two innings hasn't helped.
I turned it off to watch golf. Freakin pointless to watch this and get angry at the calls.
Hal had better make some calls tomorrow morning.

Paul made a comment an inning or two ago about how he and his teammates knew George would be on the phone the next day if the umpires had a particularly atrocious game. And all I could think after hearing Paul say that was you just know Hal probably won't do that.
why?
But they will need to look real hard at CC. Yes his 1st game back, but I don't know what that was in the 2nd inning. Great 1st inning, good 3rd and what looked like knee pain in the 2nd.
6-2 homestand is excellent. Splitting with the red hot Indians was good in a bad starting pitching rotation situation that was unfortunate.
Yanks have been insanely good at home this year and I'm all for going for home field. Not at the expense of overusing the pitching but keeping the team playing exactly as they have this year. Keep the foot on the gas and no coasting to the finish line.
That's the spirit, LOL.
I figured this would be the Indians day, with this being
his first start back. They don't try and do rehab starts with CC, cuz of his knee I would presume.
..CC was gonna come off the injured list and light it up on his first start back on the mound???
