Severino injured rotator cuff

 

can the Yankees stop messing around and sign Keuchel already?  Jeez

The word I heard is Keuchel wants Yu Darvish money.   No way I give that guy 6 and 120 million.  He is 31, was hurt 2 of the past 3 years.    If he wants a 3 year, 50-60, I'd look at that

2/5 of the rotation is already injured and Tanaka is eventually going to need Tommy John once his elbow finally gives out

 

I’m sorry I’m not looking forward to watching Domingo German and Luis Cessa make a combined 40 starts

Interesting start.

Hicks, 2 shots to his lower back.   2 starters on the DL.    Betances on the DL.

Sorry.   IL    People were offended by the term "disabled list", so they had to change it.

Gardner can play CF until Hicks comes back.  Our bullpen has terrific depth

 

40% of the rotation injured concerns me. Signing Gio is a good start

Btw those internal options Cashman wanted to use instead of signing Keuchel?  German has actually looked worse than he did last year in spring training and Loisaga is not ready 

German is looking like a bullpen option.

Depends on what Keuchel wanted.   If he is insisting on 6 years, then no way.

Is that why they changed the name?

Yes.   People found the term Disabled List offensive.

Like, that's what bothers you?   A 100 year old term for an injured player, when that player is injured (disabled) and unable to play.

Darn disabled people and their rights

I'm not infringing on their rights.   Well, I'm not doing anything.   But that was offensive enough to warrant a formal protest?   

Whatever, it's done.  It's not a big deal.  ON TO OPENING DAY

Are injured people now offended by the IL?

Yankees win but this team is getting slaughtered by injuries.  I guess LaMaheiu is the 3B until Gregorious comes back in late July

CC, Severino, Betances, Hicks, Stanton, Didi, now Andujar may be out for the year.

Brutal loss to the Tigers tonight. Offense disappeared and if I am honest I'm not a big Chapman fan. In my eyes he has been a disappointment and frustrates me once more letting up 2 in the ninth. Oh well gotta bounce back and play game 3.

Chapman giving up two runs in that spot c’mon

If Boone continues to bench good hitters for no reason while half the team is injured I’d seriously consider firing him if I was Hal

All is not well in Yankee land. Only caught the end of today's game but one run tells the story and 18 K's is unacceptable. 

A ton of injuries.  I also don’t like the feast or famine offense

Maybe the silver lining of the injury avalanche is some young kids get a chance to play and maybe they can do crazy stuff like steal bases and bunt I know what a concept 

 

Fortunately the Gay Sox are also playing like crap.  Chris Sale is throwing 87 mph after getting a $140 million!

Cant ignore the warning signs anymore. This team lack fundamentals last year and its the same nonsense again this year.

Boone is in over his head. 

Yanks need to make a move with a new manager or they are gonna blow this window of opportunity.

I haven't been able to watch the games, what has Boone been doing wrong lately?  

I don't know that he is actively doing anything wrong, but...

I was at the game Saturday.  First, Torres takes off on a long fly by LaMahieu.  He crosses 2nd and then gets thrown out at first.  Not because the ball beat him, but because he apparently stepped on 2nd going, but not coming back.  We couldn't see it and my Dad (watching on TV in NY) said it seemed like bullsh*t.  Then later bases loaded, no outs.  Sanchez gets picked off at 3rd.  Not because the ball beat him, but because he didn't even slide, tripped over the base and got tagged out.  We thought he was injured.  It was pathetic.  Next guy strikes out and they don't score.  WTF?  Bases loaded, no outs and they don't score?  There wasn't even a  DP. They have a complete inability to score unless there is a HR.  Bullpen handling seemed a bit curious too.  He left Holder out there pretty long. 

OTOH, Camden Yards is great.  We were in the first row in left.  You can see us jumping up and down when Red Thunder homered over our heads.  I hear he hates that nickname, but he re-tweeted and commented on my step-sons picture of him in left.
