He can kick the ball back to the mound....Probably better than Sanchez back there.....

For at least the first few months, offensive production from C and 1B will be similar. A few tape measure HR, batting averages on the interstate, and lots and lots of Ks.

Good times.

Like a Yankee fan go to meme. Varitek, Vmart, etc.


Then I'd have to listen to village plumber and uno talk about how awesome the yankee catchers were at framing pitches.

 

[chappee11]

Yeah, it's not good, and I'm 1000% sure it could've been avoided.


Don't look now, but Judge hasn't played since Friday, and is out of the line-up again today.

And Stanton hasn’t played in the field at all this Spring??

 

[chappee11]

Cause I don’t see a real impact in the standings without any single player on this team, save Cole

now instead of cutting ties with Bruce or Tauchman, you get a 2 month audition for both, and let’s be honest, at that point someone else will be injured, so it won’t matter

win win as long as Voight is good to go for the last few months of the season

You make it sound good, somehow. Always quite the wordsmith.

Too many feast-or-famine type guys in that lineup. And virtually no speed. Jay Bruce sounds like a good solution to both issues.

 

[chappee11]

I’d send him to the minors if he’s injured

time to announce to the world this shit is unacceptable

They can’t send him to the minors now... Cashman just named him team captain.

 

[bksballer89]

Think the forecast for Friday in NY even worse

good thing they'r eoff

He's playing opening day according to cashman. Sounds like he was sick

 

[bksballer89]

Sanchez struck out all 3 ABs yesterday

midseason form. Good to know

one good thing Gleyber looking next level offensively this spring. Kinda flies under the radar, still a baby, he could explode into a superstar with the bat soon. I’ll always believe he’s a 2nd basemen on defense tho

Lol well my point was cancelling Thursdays game would be easy with an off day Friday, but not so easy if the forecast is worse

But Tyler Wade!

Absolutely crushing the ball this spring-especially the last week or so.

Has been better than I expected at SS, but still probably not everyday MLB caliber.

I remember when he came up and the comps were made to Carlos Correa. Then Correa, himself, really seemed to take a step back over the last couple years(injuries, trash cans, under-performance). Torres gets a pass for being MIA last year given how strange the whole season was. But he really should be an MVP candidate one of these years.

Apparently the Yankees don’t have any access to Claritin? Tree pollen????

AARON JUDGE, RF

Issue: Didn’t play Yankees’ last three spring games due to sickness caused by tree pollen.

2021 spring stats: .256 average, 43 AB, 6 runs, 11 hits, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 4 BB, 14 K, 16 games.

Status: Judge tested negatively for COVID and was cleared to return to New York with the Yankees.

Cashman update: “It’s just going through the normal spring training in the COVID environment, so any little issue that’s conveyed, you kind of react a little larger to. So we just sent him through all the protocols, and thankfully we eliminated all the stuff other than the fact that every now and then you can come up with not feeling really well. But he’s fine. He didn’t wake up feeling all that great over the last day or so. The pollen down here in Florida is pretty bad at times. It’ll get the best of any of us, and so he’s not been the first one we’ve had to deal with that in camp or the last. So that’s what we’re dealing with.”

Pollen has been brutal here to this point, but this sounds sketchy.

He didn't get his recommended yearly allowance of 19 Oriole games last season.
