QuoteHitman23 Two out of three against the Pesky Rays... Good weekend!!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuotePRYanksFan Everyone Boone’s tried today has been lousy! Green, Nestor Who??, they bring up Adams and he hasn’t gotten a sniff yet. In the meantime, everyone today is getting bombed. I hope someone is still available after the draft in June. Otherwise, I might as well go out there and pitch, and believe me, you don’t want to see that! These injuries are killing our starting pitching! lol PIby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga no one was hitting - Hicks needs to get his timing - thought that was why he spent the extra 3 days with S/WB. - missed the final innings going to church so won't say anything about Cessa. Don't forget we had the bases loaded and didn't score I will. Cessa is not good. I would rather an extra hitter than have him use up a roster spot for what he brings to the mound.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Severino I think is legit - think it had a lot to do with throwing at high velocity late in games - over-extending his arm. Any arm can only endure so much, had so many pitches & fewer high velocity. Thought the problem actually started around AS break last year when he was struggling. Betances never got in game ready conditioning before ST - using the new baby as his reason. I reby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Well, this might be a good way to see if Urshela can be as productive as Miggy was last year given a whole year to impress.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
I don't know the start time for the 2nd game but glad to hear they got GM1. Torres is great. MLB station was supposed to carry 1st gm in a last minute schedule change, but the scheduled game went long so I missed out on Yankee baseball out here in CA. MLB station is usually pretty good about carrying Yankee games, but this upcoming 2 weeks they are carrying red sox more I guess it's a prettyby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
That's what I'm talkin bout, Gator. And I am not complaining about ALL of these ILs. But, as toga inferred about the "Sux" guy, and additionally Stanton and Bird. I question their toughness/desire. The rest who knows? Betances? I don't know? Severino? I don't know. Hicks is back...I think... The rest seem to be legit. Montgomery Gregorius Andujar Judge Florial? Loaisiga?by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Well, again, as I stated in other thread, pick up half his salary for 5 yrs, Some team would have to be interested in Stanton at 14 mil per/yr. Let it be the Rays or some interdivisional team if need be. I bet he'd be great for the Rays.Toss in Bird... Snell?by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Miggy, yes, I believe he's hurt torn labrum or something. Stanton? Had a sore forearm...now it's a shoulder? It sounds like another Bird coming down the pike. Let's offer Stanton and 1/2 his salary for 5 yrs and Bird, for Yelich. A man can dream...by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Great. Just great. Fuck it. Trade him too. So goddamm sick of these injuries. Play the kids. Ship the prima ballerinas and get the very best SP you can find. Get to work cashman.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
I like it but writing on the wall for Bird. Cashman better get top compensation for Bird. He will be very good anywhere else but he will have to grow up and play with a hangnail. I'm so done with him. Loved him when he came up. Now? Ship him.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
That's the guy...by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga hope he goes for the corrective surgery so he can come back for 2020 - didn't surprise - could see how off he was since returning. I kept thinking he should have stayed at S/WB to get his timing back - not sure if they would have figured it out. If we're talking Andujar, this is a blessing in disguise. We now have more space for this productive yet crowded infield.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Jonathan Loaisigna was schedule to pitch tonight against the Orioles - he replaced Pax. Now Louis Cessa is taking his spot as Loaisigna has been placed on the Dl or IL with shoulder soreness. Ridiculous. Yankees should offer "Pacifier Night" to first 30,000 fans to put up with this.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuoteGator Quotecan't leave Jimmy Key off the starters and a BP of Mariano, Jeff Nelson, Ramiro Mendoza, Mike Stanton - let's take note that were fewer pitchers and deeper bench even then. Watched Sparky Lyle Yankeeography this afternoon and started thinking how pitching staff has ballooned from 8-10 to 13-14 - totally makes a difference in constructing a team great post, toga!!! Agreed Gatorby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
QuotePRYanksFan That a lot of pitchers, be them starters or relievers have started wearing their hair like the Mets’ “Thor”? No originality left, like it’s gonna make them pitch like Syndergard! I think I might attribute that look to that guy whose name escapes me right now but he came on the scene like gangbusters his 1st 5 years or so with the SF Giants. About 10 years ago. He looked about 1by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com

Right! I did forget that. Another proven veteran of San Francisco baseball Giantsby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Hah! Indeed, although I would score that play as a 1-4-3 double play. Otto slowed that ball and gave LaMahieu a better path to 2nd base thus helping himself dig out of that jam he found himself in. And Urshela AGAIN gets the late inning huge hit. He's saying "Hey Jethro, I'm not going anywhere!" lol. It's certainly not that I don't like the guy. In fact, where would the Yankees be w/by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com

I think they are evaluated periodically throughout the year. Not sure if that's also how they choose the umpires for playoffs/championship/all-star game?by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ya better buy LeMahieu a big thick steak!by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
That's true. Do they have to wait to a certain period to sign him to save a supplemental draft pick or something?by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga not sure what we could get for Betances right now -his future is questionable until he starts throwing & shows he still has control & heat. there was reason the Sux didn't resign Ellsbury & we're still paying for that contract - Kimbrel doesn't really impress & there was reason he didn't get a contract including he over-valued himself. I hear that. The reason I thinkby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga Interesting ideas: not sure if the Mets will deal with us maybe the new GM. Nobody is going to take Ellsbury unless he's an add-on. Bird might do better in another environment. Chapman is in his last year so would be trade bait for someone at the deadline. Britton resigned with the Yankees -my feeling the idea is for him to close in the future. So far I'm impressed with Urshela - he cby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Snell's warming back up. I hope we see him later in the series but I think he's due sooner rather than later.by Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Thanks Gator. It's going to be a fun season. I like the friendly banter here and people know alot more than I do re. analytics etc. lol Half the abbreviations lose me... But these young men donning the pinstripes in the early going are total entertainment. They even won after trailing in the 8th inning! Take that injured vets! haha. I laugh but these new guys are challenging not only for playiby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
Quotetoga I hear ya Jethro - I remember the pictures of The Mick pregame having his legs wrapped from thigh to ankle - going out there leading by example/giving his all for the team. Everyone at TYB has ostracized Ellsbum - he should just admit he's done as a player. The only consolation is insurance is paying for his contract. After Stanton's recent interview, I'm totally confused - he talks aboby Jethro Bodine - TheYankeesBoard.com
