DANGER! High Voitage - The 2019 New York Yankees thread

New season. Same Luke. pic.twitter.com/NlIMOlGY0k

— New York Yankees (@Yankees) March 28, 2019

a thread of home runs

Voit! Hits one to Beloit! Cool hand Luke!

the call i heard was "cool hand luke fills the voit"

shoot js

Let’s get this sh1t started! Yeeeahhhhh! Everybody down, down on the floor!

Auspicious start on this 40th anniversary of the Baseball Furies!

Gary f’in Sanchez

things in the world that are uglier than Giancarlo Stanton's swing:

(blanking)

Long afternoon at the stadium today

Stanton to IL w/ bicep strain. Maybe he will now have to incorporate legs and hips when trying to hit a baseball.

Red Thunder on the way.

Tulowitzki on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain; recalled Thairo Estrada from Triple-A

i'm surprised it took him this long.

a thread of injuries

https://unfccc.int/news/new-york-yankees-first-major-north-american-team-to-join-un-sports-for-climate-action

also finally holding their first gay pride night this year!

welcome to the resistance

I'm sure George is pleased

per new Bob Klapisch book, the NYY Latin American player development program involves literacy and nutrition programs + college tuition for kids who don't move beyond AA

Interesting

Interesting stuff in interview re: literacy...that the breadth and reach of the development program requires more than ESL, some of these communities are remote and poor enough that basic literacy is an issue, so they are starting from the ground up in addition to basic acculturation (e.g. eating in restaurants)

He also said Cashman was out on Harper/Machado from get-go due to perceived character stuff and clubhouse noise, didn’t want MM in particular around Sanchez, Gleyber, Andujar

frazier > stanton

yes

severino setback; returning to nyc for another mri

Set back for Betances as well.

Now Greg Bird to the IL.

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/fantasy/injuries/#team147

That needs some updating, but you get the gist.

unbelievable

between the injuries and the badness, wonder if the yanks will bring bird back

that said, a plantar fascia tear sounds pretty unpleasant

I was at the game on Friday against the White Sox and Bird was getting some stick from the crowd, even though it was a depleted one due to the bad weather

What does it mean when the Yankees bobble head day has heroes from 20 years ago and the Mets have syndergard

the worm has turned

also Yankee crowds are richer and older

Kate Smith suspended

https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-kate-smith-god-bless-america-20190418-wfkyednrvrherh57sfmb4h7s5y-story.html

Fantastic!

Now, lose the song altogether

Goin for 500

homers?

Judge leaves game with what appears to be an oblique injury

jesus

off to NY Presbyterian for MRI

couldn't happen to a nicer franchise

now now

license to IL

I know no one feels bad for Yankees fans, but the Yankees have 55% more combined previous-season WAR on the injured list right now than any other team has had at any point since 2002 (h/t @Bsb_Inj_Consult for the raw data and @JessieABarbour for research).https://t.co/rDQRqILQxR pic.twitter.com/872ERqwLvB

— Ben Lindbergh (@BenLindbergh) April 23, 2019

12-10 .545 seems miraculous

like the 'B' team they paid for can't beat the O's and Angels

Yes they really splurged on the likes of Gio Urshela and Mike Tauchman

extreme examples (but they pay for good scouts)

well last year’s A team couldn’t beat the Orioles

Coley Harvey, ESPN Staff Writer:

The Yankees have formally reinstated Gary Sánchez off the 10-day injured list, and promoted lefty reliever Stephen Tarpley. Reliever Chad Green, who has struggled so far this season, is being sent to Triple-A, along with catcher Kyle Higashioka.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Boone indicated that the Yankees don't plan on sending Green to Scranton to get right. Says they will figure it out together.

— Lindsey Adler (@lindseyadler) April 24, 2019

Clint Frazier, your turn

.324/.342/.632 6 HR

partial tear, ankle

maybe time to press top prospect Estevan Florial into serv—oh right, broken wrist

the yankees have acquired once and future detroit tigers outfielder cameron maybin

"We don't have our big dogs, but we're finding a way and it's a lot of fun," LeMahieu said.
WOOF

they really need to start putting the names on the back of the jerseys— i can’t tell who any of these guys are

Gio Urshela, storied franchise hero since 9 PM EDT

Paxton looking pretty good?
Only two games back

Paxton always has been that's why they got him

DJ LaMahieu exits game in 4th inning with banged-up knee

Super-sub Gio Urshela drilled in hand with pitch, exits game

RFLMAO

Pretty sure there’s a dude selling $2 Dasanis out of a cooler a block from the stadium who could sub

I am stretching, applying eye black

how in the fuck are they 17-11?! is there anyone left alive in their starting line-up?!

It’s still a High Voitage area

They traded Chasen Shreve to get him, unbelievable

how in the fuck are they 17-11?

this weekend they played the Giants

alternate theory:

YANKEE MAGIC

they've played exactly one good team so far -- the astros, who swept them

the yankee magic is managing to have an easy schedule in the early part of the season when everyone is hurt

4/23/19
Yankees 6, Angels 5

LeMahieu
Voit DH
Gardner CF
Torres SS
Ford 1B
Tauchman RF
Romine C
Estrada 2B
Wade RF

^this lineup should not be beating *any* major league team

but thet rank fifth in the league in ERA and WHIP

these guys -- who will all be dfa'd when the yankees get healthy -- better get playoff shares

"There are 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies."

"Like a good Gleyber, Torres is there."

These people do the same job.

— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) April 28, 2019

the only problem w/ that call is he doesn't actually sing it

raise those standards Hade

just working with what I got

consider: "Tyler [Austin] a yellow ribbon on that one"

he's the Trump of play by play

"That is below the Brandon Belt!"

gio urshela, the most happy fella

oh Christ

how many of JS's listeners know that The Most Happy Fella was a hit Broadway musical 60+ years ago?

this was also his Jose Pirela call

there have been a lot of low (high? I can't tell anymore) points but

Rob (Korean American) Refsnyder has Seoul

congrats to the yankees for finishing april, five games over .500, without beating a team with a winning record

facetiousness aside, this was a real achievement!

The Douchebacks stadium has a hot tub?

yep. the one time i went to a game there, there was a home run hit into the hot tub

or maybe it's a small swimming pool

the d-bax made a red-assed fuss a few years ago when the dodgers clinched there and celebrated by jumping in the pool

Andujar on a plane to NYC. Will be activated tomorrow for DH duties.

Replacees win again, Paxton leaves after 3 innings w/ sore knee

i am not anti-yankee in general but i have to say the "no names on the uniforms" thing is dumb, especially when the team is 90% back-ups. i watched a few minutes of the game on saturday and had no idea who anyone was

heresy

just go to gameday or whatever

it's not like that sells extra programs anymore, right?

Paxton to IL icymi

I am just pretending it's not happening

Severino will be out for longer than originally anticipated, still shut down, looking at July return.

Looking forward to this series with Seattle

going up to see my first game of the year tonight

dunno how I feel abt these 6:30 starts...it leaves little time to get an affordable beer outside the park before first pitch

Weak shit In right field
Somebody catch the fucking ball
Gardener and Frazier a couple of chumps
Shame!

outrageous

affordable beer outside the park = $9 Lagunitas

Due up: Torres / Urshela / Maybin
Who dem what?

SEND FRAZIER BACK TO T BALL

to be clear I was referring to Frazier *and* the price of a beer

Due up: Torres / Urshela / Maybin
Who dem what?

John Sterling's call for Cameron Maybin was a good one: "Hammerin' Cameron!"

— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) May 15, 2019

6.5/10

someone in my office suggested 'call me maybin', which is about 70 years too recent a reference for sterling

Definitely Maybin

season-ending surgery for andujar

Maybin I'm Amazed

^^^solid

cmon, Sterling's Most Happy Fella ref only dates from 1956

btw Sterling no longer guards his age; he'll be 81 on July 4

are you . . . defending john sterling?

you just can't predict i love baseball, suzyn

$14.50 Bud Lights at the stadium

completely fucked up

premium fandom comes with premium horsepiss

Gary F’in Sanchez
Definitely seems close to a majority of Y fans at Camden yards tonight just judging from the audio

this was kind of brutal to watch

BTW, the Orioles feed when Gleyber homers has become mandatory listening. pic.twitter.com/x6a0ENbf0Z

— New York Yankees (@Yankees) May 23, 2019

gleyber has four multi-HR games against the orioles this season. 10 of his 12 home runs have come against the orioles. unfortunately he isn't starting today.

an act of mercy

2019 HOME RUN LEADERBOARD*

1. Gleyber Torres, 10
2. Gary Sanchez, 9
3. Clint Frazier, 5
4. Nelson Cruz, 4
Khris Davis, 4
Max Kepler, 4
Eddie Rosario, 4
8. Randal Grichuk, 3
C.J. Cron, 3

* Only vs. Baltimore, believe it or not

— patsfb (@patsfb) May 23, 2019

update: Clint Frazier, 6

the legend grows

Urshela now 7 for 14 this season with two outs and RISP

— Erik Boland (@eboland11) May 23, 2019

Frazier follies in RF continue ... wtf

he's off-balance because they made him cut his hair

Funny bounce
Do over

oy more like Red Blunder

HEY GINGER
GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA YO AZZ

I’m convinced our boy has some concussion symptoms still that make him unplayable

I think the question may be, is he a more valuable DH than the other options? In any case, he has to be removed from the field.

yeah and then he'll be sent down—not when Didi comes back but for Stanton

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/down-goes-frazier-when-it-comes-to-defensive-metrics

Hey--Edwin to the Yankees!

https://www.mlb.com/news/edwin-encarnacion-trade-yankees

Countdown to when he goes on the IL...

this is such a weird move

because? stockpiling sluggers is the Yankee Way.

This is probably as right-handed as the Yankees have been since they moved into Yankee Stadium in 1923: DJ, Judge, Stanton, Encarnacion, Sanchez, Torres, Voit, Urshela, Frazier. You would assume Astros, Rays, Oakland, Twins, Red Sox will assess RHed bullpen options before 7/31.

— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) June 16, 2019

this^ is one reason it's weird. There's gotta be a trade coming.

frazier just got sent down and i reckon maybin's time as a yankee is just about over

Frazier’s a talented kid who deserves to play but I’m not particular broken up by this news

Frazier should be able to get them a decent pitcher. They could probably use a starting pitcher, if anything.

such a loathsome entity, this team

your provincialism is showing

omg I love this so much

Gary f’in Sanchez

Chad Green is the opener tonight.

F’ing LaMahieuuuuu

your calls are unvaried

keeping a close eye on LaMahieu in the dugout these past few weeks and thinking he might be a sociopath

also has probably sold his soul to the devil

Love dat kidd DJ

he has been unreal

stanton hurt again?

apparently not too bad.

i saw that on Dick Nixon's Twitter

yankees have now scored at least one run in 162 straight games (and homered in 29 straight)

stanton to the dl il lol

Gleyber coming through
Why was Britton in for Chapman? Dude was wild

he's been shaky in big moments all season

damn Blue Jays

Why was Britton in for Chapman?

they will not use him three straight days

now they're jetting off to london, showing a commitment to screwing over weekly-matchup fantasy players across the globe.

Hey Gio, fancy a pint

I feel like Tommy Kahnle's your man for a late night

Gary And DJ both starting in the AS game
Little turd Altuve will be watching from the bench

way to pack the ballot box, the Sopranos musta voted a lot

yes those guys are completely undeserving, the system is rigged

lol j/k I voted for LeMahieu

Stanks suck tho = baseball's Trumpists

at least they’re not owned by the ricketts family i guess

these londoners are really getting what they paid for

yeah me too

Severino shut down again, readjusted timetable, looking like another 6+ weeks.

“Clearly, in hindsight, he should have never started his throwing program," Brian Cashman said of Luis Severino. The Yankees, who have been looking into their many injuries this season, admit some regret about a setback: https://t.co/aH0HLAUHYf

The HR streak is over!

Voit to IL with abdominal strain

look at you all cock 'o the block w/ that .453 winning pctg

Disgusting savages one might say

like John Savage?

like savage detectives

F’ing Rays man

one-game suspension for boone. maybe for bumping the bill of the ump's cap? idk

for having really good zings instead of just going "aaaargh"

"My guys are fucking savages in that box" is amazing. If MLB wants to increase ratings they should have all manager arguments mic'ed up.

WRTAUER DELAY?

DJ LeMahieu is playing gold glove defense at three positions and leading the league in hitting, all with a paralyzed face.

Just called Guerrero Jr a fat fuck at the bar and a moment of silence was observed

Higashioka seems cool, not in the lineup tonight

Had that 11 pitch at bat a couple days ago

Gardner and Booney channeling that 1985 WWF drama vibe

love that Gardy is sticking w the bat thump

lol xxxp but Mike Ford makes Vlad Jr look positively svelt

I like this Toronto team though, even if they are 34 games below 500. Gotta lotta fire

and Didi is almost too cool

Calstars r u mad, Cashman has been magic

Anyway welcome back big Gary

what a mystifying player, it's easy to see him being this team's best or worst player down the stretch

the dreaded six-homer loss

Singled to death.

The Tigers beat the Yankees 12-11 in a game where New York had a 6-0 lead after the first 2 innings. The Yankees had won 104 consecutive games in which they had led by 6+ runs. Their last such loss was on August 16, 2016, in which they led the Blue Jays... https://t.co/WvWIV9fodH

Encarnacion: oblique
Happ: forearm tendinitis

how is it possible

severino almost back tho

and Stanton returning in time for LDS and front-line pitching to exploit massive hole in his swing

EE had been looking like their best hitter

All Stanton talk belongs on the Hall of Fame thread where we wildly extrapolate his career trajectory based on the 12 games he plays this season.

Aaaaaaaannnnnd.....Sanchez. Groin.

Higashioka gonna be the magic bullet in the Post

Saw more Yankees caps out today than the whole season put together. Everyone’s a fan
