I can promise you that Minter won't be available tomorrow. Back to back games and 3 of 4. If we're in a save situation tomorrow, it'll be Viz.

Probably so. But Id hate to put Viz in a tough situation his first game back.

So Yankees fans are going crazy on twitter saying to DFA Robertson and im thinking.....Fuck, we'll take him.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Honestly, why do we keep bringing up these bums for long relief?? Biddle has done a really good job in long relief this year.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Nice start from Sanchez. Can't do anything about the joke of a park. That homer was an easy out in every other park in the Majors.

main board yankee fans are getting a little sensitive about your criticisms, but a LOT of people feel this way. another common criticism is that the new Yankee stadium doesn't get as loud as the old one.

Freddies Avg has fell from .345 to .311

 

[Mistaken4193]

We have until Friday to sign him.


Seriously, how does AA not know this before he drafts him.

Guess that means Evan Phillips will be up a little longer. Maybe he'll get in the game. I've heard a lot about him, but I want to see him pitch and see if he's actually better than what we've got.

But Reed had been killing it in AAA, would have liked to have seen what he could do as a 4th OFer.

And Peter Bourjos elected free agency, so unless we sign him again, we don't have to worry about calling him up again.

Should have DFA'd Flaherty..... but we keep holding on to him.

I'd like to see Flaherty gone, but I can justify his roster spot more than I can Sam Freeman's. At least Flaherty can play multiple positions and has a pretty good glove. Sam Freeman is a shitty reliever that seems to get used the most on the team.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Suzuki the DH today. I like Kurt but id rather have Charlie in RF and Markakis DH

 

[Hitman Hart]

lets go Braves

 

[Mistaken4193]

Hopefully we get to see Evan Phillips tonight. Also Chapman, Betances, and Robertson might not be available for them.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice Ender.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Good Steal Ender!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Fuck, wasted a leadoff hit.

 

[Mistaken4193]

 

[Mistaken4193]

Seriously...fuck this park.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Back to back games we give up a popup home run that isn't a homer in any other ballpark.

All the while we're playing with this short porch, Freddie can't stop either popping up to left or rolling over for weak groundouts.

I heard on the radio today that they might throw at Acuna for hotdogging his home run last night. If they do, break Stanton's jaw again.

May be a bit of a hot take here, but throwing at batters is one of my least favorite traditions in sports.

That, and the NBA being an absolute suckass league.
