Yanks-Cleveland Tuesday night

[mrmel29]

If we don’t beat Cleveland Boone should be fired in the dugout after the last out. Yanks in 3 or 4.

 

[yankeesince59]

Cleveland is on a hot streak...but at least we don't have to face the Jays or Rays.

 

[Messiah717]

Toronto blows an 8-1 lead and Seattle moves on to Houston with a 10-9 win.

 

[yankeesince59]

Slightly off-topic;

...tip o' the cap to Yadi Molina and Albert Pujols...two of the best ever, surefire first ballot HOFers.

 

[cagedlion]

Well, I guess you all know who’s starting Tuesday nite for the Yankees……their “ace”…..Gerrit Cole. Surprise, surprise.

 

[yankeesince59]

Good riddance you POS...

Aroldis Chapman left off Yankees' roster for missing workout

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34760715/aroldis-chapman-left-yankees-roster-missing-workout


NEW YORK -- Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman has been ruled out for the American League Division Series after he skipped a mandatory workout, leading to a fine and likely ending the All-Star's seven-year tenure with New York.

The 34-year-old flamethrower probably would not have been on the 26-man roster for the best-of-five series against Cleveland that starts Tuesday night due to erratic performances and inconsistent mechanics.

Chapman, who has not gotten a save since May 17, had been scheduled to pitch batting practice Friday at Yankee Stadium, but the team said he instead was in Miami. After speaking with Chapman, manager Aaron Boone told general manager Brian Cashman he instructed the pitcher to stay away from the club.

"I think he questioned whether he was going to be on the roster or not," Boone said.

Chapman had disrupted an already depleted bullpen when he went on the injured list from Aug. 24 until Sept. 16 due to an infection in a leg caused by getting a tattoo.

"It's unfortunate that he wasn't here Friday," Cashman said Sunday. "Clearly disappointing, but at the same time not surprised by how things are starting to play out over the course of the season. So it was surprising at first, like a little shocking, but then after the shock wore off, when you add everything up, it's not surprising. There's some questions about whether he's been all-in or not for a little while, and he's maintained verbally that he's in, but at times actions don't match those words."

Cashman, who has worked for the Yankees since 1986, could not recall another player missing a workout. In October 2015, New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey missed a workout three days before his team's Division Series opener.

Chapman's agent, Scott Shapiro, said he and his client had no comment. While the Yankees did not rule out Chapman for later rounds, they left the impression his return is unlikely.

Wish they would have put peraza on the roster instead of the useless Martin Gonzalez. If Boone had any balls peraza would be starting at short as he's better offensively and defensively over IKF.

 

[yankeesince59]

Cole actually pitched well in his 2 starts vs Cleveland this year...let's just hope that continues tonight.

 

[Messiah717]

Quantril vs Cole

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The 26 Man Roster

Imo Hicks and Marwin should have been left off, and LeMahieu and Peraza should have been on it even with LeMahieu's bothersome toe!

I don't see any point to having Higgy as a backup catcher either. If a backup Catcher is needed, then IKF could fill that role, even though he's not caught a game in 4 years.

Thank our lucky stars Chapman is done, never again to wear pinstripes.

Tonights Lineup-

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Astros come from a 7 to 2 deficit vs Seattle, with a three-run walk off homerun in the top of the 9th

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Alvarez walk off home run, destroyed Mariners momentum.

 

[Messiah717]

Unfortunately, it seems like DJ is done for the season. Probably will end up getting surgery.

 

[Messiah717]

Effross needs TJ surgery. Good lord this pen is beat up.

 

[yankeesince59]

Damnit !...IKF must not return to this roster next year.

 

[yankeesince59]

What happened to this thread?

 

[yankeesince59]

That's TWO miscues on IKF.

 

[yankeesince59]

WTF was Boone arguing there?

 

[mrmel29]

Why peraza should be at short. Now Cole has to throw an extra 10 pitches because they don’t want to hurt IKF’s feelings. He should be on like I said instead of gonzalez. And if he was Boone would be pressured to put him there

^^^ Boone..."Stupid is as stupid does".

 

[mrmel29]

Peraza should be at
Shadier and that’s all there is to it

 

[mrmel29]

Can we combine the 2 threads into one

 

[yankeesince59]

Mess can.

 

[yankeesince59]

Effross needs TJ surgery. Good lord this pen is beat up.

Yanx have never been good at keeping their staff healthy...yet even more managerial deficiencies.

 

[mrmel29]

IKF continues to pay dividends

 

[yankeesince59]

After the pitcher walks 2 of the first 3 batters, IKF is first pitch hackin'...inning ending DP.

 

[mrmel29]

And gopher boy givers up another homer and it’s 1-0 Cleveland.

 

[mrmel29]

Cole not great but deceit seems not helping at all so far

 

[yankeesince59]

Piss poor non-strike call on Cole.
