First.....HAPPY #62 TO ME!!!


RHP - Ivan Nova (3-2, 3.65 ERA)

VS.

RHP - Marco Estrada (2-2, 2.76 ERA)

Lineups to follow........
 
Since A-Roids return he's 1 for 16 with 9 strikeouts.
 
Happy Birthday Rick, shall we have a party??? :party:
 
Yankees send Luis Severino to Triple-A, place Dustin Ackley (Dislocated Shoulder) on the 15-day DL and recall Rob Refsnyder as per Bryan Hoch
 
Time to move Ackley and keep Ref up there put old Chemical King on the bench.
 
Alex Rodriguez is getting the night off Monday as per Joel Sherman.
 
Girardi said Ackley has a Torn Labrum and surgery is possible as per Mark Feinsand.
 
Don't like to see anyone hurt but if further absence on Ackley part keeps Ref up well cool deal. A-hole needs lot of nights off. I'm starting to refer to him as Whiff as much as he strikes. Word get around his at bat foibles he's going to be toast. Joe G take note doing the same thing over and expecting different results is insanity. Happy B-Day Rick you young whipper snapper.
 
Another guy facing surgery after diving into a base. Didn't that happen to Mason Williams? Well Nick Swisher will be next up when Tex gets his next hang nail.
 
TONIGHT'S STARTING LINEUP........


CF - Ellsbury (279)
LF - Gardner (221)
DH - Beltran (263)
C - McCann (230)
1B - Teixeira (170)
2B - Castro (253)
3B - Headley (235)
SS - Gregorius (266)
RF - Hicks (194)

GO YANKEES!
 
From what I last heard Swisher was not doing well in the minors, but then again at this point in time quite a few Yankees are not doing well in the majors.

Yep, Ackley injury now opens up a door for Refsnyder. Hopefully Ref is here for the long run.
They had him playing 3d/RF AAA, the idiots should've also given him a good look at 1b as they knew Bird was going to be gone for the year.
Anyway, he's here now. Sooner or later we knew one or a couple more of the farmhands would get the call when the long term injuries* popped up.
Refsnyder has done nothing but hit for the Yanks - AAA and ML.

Meanwhile Ackley was in the process of cementing his reputation as a total 1st round (2nd pick) bust with his first two ML teams.

lol…...as if I needed to "explain".....lol
 
Nova can really take a step in becoming a positive factor for the SP, Yanks have gotten good performances from three of their SP over the past few weeks.....would be nice if Nova can take hold of a spot in the rotation......not holding my breath tonight in Toronto.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if they lit him up....which leaves the possibility of him becoming a very pleasant surprise. ⬅ Needed to put on my rose colored pinstriped homerific glasses to say such an outrageous thing.

He needs to -IMO- pitch backwards by throwing his curveball early in the count but he's another of those knucklehead pitchers without the killer instincts of a "pitcher" and has no natural feel of how to set up individual hitters and needs to be led around in the dark by the catcher.
 
Theres our shortstop "Stranfer" Gregorius with men on base. Don't no what anyone else thinks but if a Yankee Pitcher is not named Tanaka or Eovaldi I don't have much confidence especially being backed by this teams office. ESPN sports gave Nova a nice write up on the day of his last assignment and the man went out and shit the bed.
 
Speaking of horseshoes, Didi DP grounder looked like it was headed to CF but caught a piece of the pitcher.
I much rather "complain" about Yankees getting lucky with horseshoes....I'm kinda wacky in that way.
 
Nova has allowed four runs, bad gig for this anemic once again offense playing station to station ball. Prior to this season I'd always say wait till the ninth or later. With this group sad to relate but at this point the game for them is probably over. Saw a report that picked the Yankee Home uniform as baseballs sharpest, too bad it's being filled by such dull talent.
 
One hit last night & only 2 tonight through 7. Just pathetic.
 
Not even watching it to be honest with you. It's too predictable at this point. Need to start selling what they can.
 
I think Castro could of scored on Hicks LF liner...? I'd like to of seen the full replay one more time... (not DVR'ng this one) ....

Even if you don't care for Hockey, The Stanley Cup Final Game One is on, more entertaining no doubt..... never too late to become a Hockey Fan Rick....!
 
I'll even watch the NBA over this crap. I can't watch a team where half the lineup is either close or is hitting under .200.
 
Off to watch the Stanley Cup and Basketball. Enough of this garbage.

No secret, Yankee offense is terrible.....how bad?
Next to last in league- runs scored.
Dead LAST by nine points BA w/risp .214

If this shit continues they probably will finish in or near the basement.
