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.
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.
