DANGER! High Voitage - The 2019 New York Yankees thread

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

oh please, half of them were Italian tourists

pennant fever!

This September call-up "Severino" looks pretty good...

Dellin Betances suffered a "partial tear of the left achilles tendon," per Yankees.

you have got to be shitting me

HOF Projections may commence: John/Mike/Giancarlo Stanton is BACK!

(batting a very non-HOF-worth 7th in the lineup tho)

he will be the kiss of death to this lineup

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that New York Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán has been placed on Administrative Leave under the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy. Per the policy, the initial period of Administrative Leave may last up to seven days, barring an extension.

WTF

somewhere in Hell, Billy Martin is grateful no one tattled on the ages of his girlfriends in the '70s
