MLB Daily Thread: 06-22-17: Yanks end 7 game losing streak and are back in 1st

Poor Red Sox couldn't even hold the division lead for 24 hours lmao

it was fun while it lasted

I could appreciate Girardi putting Clippard in to build some confidence in that spot

But boy he is brutal


As i said a couple of weeks back, time for Chad Greene to see an expanded and more important role in that pen......He's the new 7th inning guy

Yep. I approve. At this point, Girardi is probably better off playing Clippard on the road in mop situations because the crowd hates him at this point

I agree, Green to the pen and Chance Adams to the rotation.

This entire "40 man roster" thing which i dont understand, is killing me

Apparently Tyler Wade is ready to take over at 3rd, and they could move Headley to 1st

And of course Chance Adams

But they arent on the 40 man, which is the big issue


Im telling you now, they are asking for trouble if they plan on making Holliday the every day 1st basemen......he is the perfect DH at his age, and with his injury history

huge statement win for the D Bags

I had the Colorado starter

Look up and seeing 9-0 in the 3rd is always fun

It's a really big deal, especially with all they players they'll have eligible for the Rule 5 Draft in December. Clint Frazier, Tyler Wade, and Dustin Fowler among them. They have some tough decisions ahead.

When the fuck is Bird coming back and when will Austin get the call?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Clint

Reason number 352 as to how I know I'm a pervert: I can't see that name without thinking "clit."

It's like a mashup of clit and ****.

Ouch, so how do they protect them?

if they call them up, they need to be protected, if they dont call them up, they dont need to?

So stupid. You can talk about as many cunts as you want, but if you mention just one, it gets auto-botted.

Apparently Austin is striking out a ton, I just think they dont like him for some reason

Bird got a cortizone shot and they are hoping he can resume this week, but this is a Bird problem dating back to his entire minor league career, he is always hurt

They have to be on the 40 man at the time of the Rule 5 Draft or they can lose them and get nothing back. So their options are to DFA guys or stick to guys already on the 40 Man that have options left.

Nick Johnson 2.0?

Nick Johnson 2.0?

Sounds about right

happy news

Chris Carter - 1B - Yankees
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that Chris Carter is "still the best alternative" at first base.

With Greg Bird still down with an ankle injury and looking a ways off from his return, Carter has seen the bulk of at-bats at first for the Yankees this season. Unfortunately. The sometime-slugger is hitting just .201/.287/.384 and has struck out in 66 of 159 at-bats. Cashman said that first base prospect Tyler Austin is "not ready yet." Looks like the Chris Carter Experience will continue until further notice.

sad news

Hanley Ramirez - DH - Red Sox
Hanley Ramirez flied out as a pinch-hitter after being held out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the Royals.

Ramirez, who has been bothered by right shoulder problems all year long, is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday.
