Could be a lot worse. Should be back in September.Chip fracture in his wrist. No surgery. Out at least three weeks.
Fuck.
Seriously. Yanks got lucky.Could be a lot worse. Should be back in September.
Guessing this is the source the Yankees are using? If so, IANAD, but given the phrasing 'Conservative therapy involving immobilization of the injured wrist for 3 weeks proved to be successful' it sounds like the latter?What does game situation mean? 3 weeks before he can swing a bat in a game, or 3 weeks before he can swing a bat at all?
About that, not sure this is possible at the moment either.Bring on the Billy McKinney era!
This is probably good news for Yankees. Now Harper probably coming 4 months sooner.Seriously. Yanks got lucky.

The latter, if things turn out well:Guessing this is the source the Yankees are using? If so, IANAD, but given the phrasing 'Conservative therapy involving immobilization of the injured wrist for 3 weeks proved to be successful' it sounds like the latter?
The hamate bone is implicated too, which brings back memories of Big Papi's lost year.If the bone fragment healed, it took 6 to 8 weeks.
That's a good call. Or if the Nats are selling, see how cheap the Yanks can get Daniel Murphy.Dan Federico on Twitter mentions Mark Reynolds, always liked him.
I'm not sure the Nats are sellers yet since Phillies and Braves both could be caught, and with the myriad of injuries they are facing, guys like Reynolds are actually needed/seeing a lot of playing time....That's a good call. Or if the Nats are selling, see how cheap the Yanks can get Daniel Murphy.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that thought. Seriously?The most appalling and frightening aspect of this whole thing is Boone calling him "Judgey".
Sure, but since Stanton can move from DH to RF, NY can bring in any hitter, no need for them to play defense. So there should be plenty of non-pricy options whether Judge is out three weeks or the rest of the season.It's also advisable to minimize the reported impact of any injuries as much as possible before the trade deadline.
+1. Hope Judge has a speedy, uneventful recovery, and the Sox manage to win the AL East.I am as passionate a Red Sox lover and Yankee hater as the next SoSHer, but this bums me out. Judge seems like a good dude. I hope he recovers well. Okay by me if he takes his time.
I have a friend with the same last name. That’s his nickname, so it didn’t register with me. Except that I still don’t like managers using nicknames.The most appalling and frightening aspect of this whole thing is Boone calling him "Judgey".
I take it you are not a hockey fan then?I have a friend with the same last name. That’s his nickname, so it didn’t register with me. Except that I still don’t like managers using nicknames.
I am. Good point.I take it you are not a hockey fan then?
Babe Ruth loved the kids, too. He was a kid almost all his life. Ted Williams loved kids. I am not as cynical as you. There are players who care how the game looks to the kids. I would bet Mookie does, too.The kids? C’mon. It’s never about the kids. It’s about a bunch of rich ball players feeling like they could have made more money if not for peers not being on the same page about exactly how much shadiness is permitted by baseball’s sacred unwritten rules.
I like Judge, fwiw. He’s hard to dislike.
You’re suggesting Mookie wants 12/$420... for the kids?Babe Ruth loved the kids, too. He was a kid almost all his life. Ted Williams loved kids. I am not as cynical as you. There are players who care how the game looks to the kids. I would bet Mookie does, too.
Hey, I feel your pain. My feelings about baseball changed when free agency came into existence. I was bitter over players changing teams because of money. Now I ignore the money and root for the players who love playing the game. Mookie is one of them. He deserves what he can get. Same for Judge when his time comes. But along the way, I watch how these guys react with the kids before games. Judge likes to pick out a kid in the front row and play catch between innings. That’s the only thing we have left of the sport’s childhood innocence. And I worry that if Judge ever left the Yankees, the team would never be the same to those kids who idolized him.You’re suggesting Mookie wants 12/$420... for the kids?
There is something I could say here about a couple of fairly recent Yankee WS champs, but I am not gonna make it.Babe Ruth loved the kids, too. He was a kid almost all his life.

Go ahead. There is a larger issue here about how we fans have to view the game as we grow older. Very few of us were happy when A-Rod (and Clemens) joined the Yankees with fat contracts bloating the payroll.There is something I could say here about a couple of fairly recent Yankee WS champs, but I am not gonna make it.
I think you missed what I was trying to say. Google Chad Curtis and John Wettland.Go ahead. There is a larger issue here about how we fans have to view the game as we grow older. Very few of us were happy when A-Rod (and Clemens) joined the Yankees with fat contracts bloating the payroll.
More perspective and outside opinions are needed. I get what Lomb is saying. But we are all at different stages of our lives, and our fandom. Just having three or four homegrown Yankee players I can admire is enough for me.
Oh. Going for the bad actors? Baseball is rife with them, going back into the late 1800s.I think you missed what I was trying to say. Google Chad Curtis and John Wettland.
