He's already gone too far in this game without the Yankees having a baserunner

He is awful

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

I love how we are at the point with Ellsbury where he is put in the lineup just to keep him happy, not because he contributes anything to this team

Annnnnd a DP grounder as I type that

No runs

Cause of Ellsbury

Clint Frazier RBI single

Ellsbury looking more and more like a Sandoval possibility by the day

Member when the Yankees cheap'd out on Cano but signed Ellsbury to a yuuuge deal that would almost certainly end badly? I member.

7 years ago, Heyman made this glorious tweet.

Hey! That's my middle testicle you're mocking, navamind.

Your boys better sweep the sox this weekend. No excuses

The media will crucify players/managers/etc. over the stupidest things, but god forbid they ever call each other out.

Bring back Fire Joe Morgan!

Cashman does it again!

Sure, it will go down as the worst transaction by Cashman/Yankee ownership in his tenure

To feel better, Cano's last 3 or 4 years will probably be pretty damn ugly, but Ellsburys' already is

Well, he just became no worse than their 3rd best hitter for Jeters sake

When you're so scared of upside you start Eduardo Nunez and hope his average props up an already mediocre plate of offense.

Sweet - just what the Sox needed. I can't wait for all those homers he'll be hitting. Oh wait. . . . nevermind.

Cereal, you remember when I used to LOVE Nunez and Down38 with suffocate and bombard me with his minor league numbers and tell me how shitty he was?


Karma

Can Nunez reliably lay down a bunt? That alone would put him ahead of 3 or 4 other hitters in the line up.
