Thanks. He'll help.He was supposed to be and then he decided he needed another few rehab games, so he’s back Tuesday.

Does Cabrera have options? I assume so. Is his ability to play both IF and OF so important? Is it the PR'ing? He is not that good of a hitter (imho).What would I do? Make these moves before the Tuesday game:
DFA Donaldson and Calhoun
Send down Volpe
Add Bader, Peraza and Florial
Huge defensive upgrade there, and the offense couldn't possibly be worse.
Good move for you guys, I missed that.Also in the real world (not my hopeful one), Cabrera did actually get sent down tonight, presumably for Bader.
I mean, it was very obviously concrete, don't try to run through concrete. If anything, NY could sue Judge for being a reckless idiot with their $360M investment (I am joking here).My husband, who roots for the NYY, wonders if there has been any consideration of the NYY suing the Dodgers for the fence malfunction, or whatever that was. I can't imagine mlb letting anything like that happen, but has there been discussion, anger, etc. towards the Dodgers for lack of attention to that fence?
Your hubby probably knows Pete Reiser was on his way to the HOF with Brooklyn but he kept running into the brick wall at Ebbetts Field in the 1940s. Pete introduced the word “concussions“ to MLB.My husband, who roots for the NYY, wonders if there has been any consideration of the NYY suing the Dodgers for the fence malfunction, or whatever that was.

It feels like we are wasting Cole and Judge's prime years by rolling out the corpse of JoDo, plus a bunch of random veterans and too green youngsters. I don't know what the answer is, but first-line depth of Willie Calhoun and Jake Bauers ain't it.I’ve been having a controversial chat with my friends using that tweet above on RISP. To say Yankees fans aren’t happy right now would be an understatement. Just not exciting baseball and Judge will not solve the other problems in the lineup.
To be fair, Yankee fans are almost universally incredibly stupid (this may be true for most fan bases). Yankee fans act like it is somehow their birthright to win 100 games and a WS every year, and none of the other teams are trying. They only remember bad personnel moves, never the good ones. Last year NY won 99 games and made the ALCS and the fan base acted like they had gone 42-120.To say Yankees fans aren’t happy right now would be an understatement. J
You say this a lot and it's not that I disagree but Yankee fans do have a point about the general roster construction issues that have seemingly been a trend the last couple of years. When they want to spend more money, they're morons. When they are begging for 1yr+ to drop Donaldson and Hicks only to watch themselves get proven right...I don't blame them. I've got this perhaps incorrect but growing perception of Cashman that he feels like he has a somewhat complete team that he needs to tweak here and here opportunistically and that's in direct conflict with much of the fanbase that sees a very unimpressive lineup that looks like it needs a complete revamp. All that exacerbated by some very recent trades that don't seem to be working out and a Rodon signing that we were happy with but didn't need compared to the obvious offensive holes....To be fair, Yankee fans are almost universally incredibly stupid (this may be true for most fan bases).

Anyway, HOU and LAD are struggling as much as NYY, NYM and SDP and STL even more. Baseball is hard.
It's only "look ins," but the game is on mlbn atm.OK, let's see:
1) Luis Castillo, who owns the Yankees as much as any current pitcher.
2) a terrible current NY lineup.
3) the game is on Prime, which kills my viewing experience as I pretty much have to watch in real time.
So I'm out for tonight, I'll watch the score and watch the rebroadcast on YES later if it seems worthwhile.
Yeah, I have Prime, I just don't want to watch.It's only "look ins," but the game is on mlbn atm.
Yankees always look better with lefty hitters reaching the seats. Even AAAA players like Bauers and McKinney can do it.So Bauers and McKinney are going to carry the offense for a while. Go figure.
Really I think it's been always, tonight at least he counterbalanced it with the incredible pitch counts (24 in his first 3 ABs off Castillo) and the play on the Volpe pinball to bail him out, I think in the 6th or 7th?What is the deal with Gleyber? It's just been constant mental lapses. He's always had a bit of that in his game, but this is different.
Something is definitely off about him lately especially during that rough 10 game stretch the yanks just hadWhat is the deal with Gleyber? It's just been constant mental lapses. He's always had a bit of that in his game, but this is different.
I think NY would be happy with that too, stash him on the 60 day IL for emergency and not occupy a 40 man spot.If I'm Calhoun, it's not the worst thing in the world for this injury to suddenly become season ending. Hang out on the IL, avoid getting DFA'd when Judge comes back, and rack up that sweet sweet service time.
That's baseball, Ernie.Wasn't sure where to throw this but took me a few seconds to realize who I was listening to.

Bauers and McKinney are playing with urgency because they are fighting for their jobs. What’s Stanton fighting for? Or Donaldson. I see no urgency in either, just occasional frustration and embarrassment.With all the bad news today, I really didn't expect a win.
Both with negative bWAR for the season so far, I wonder what the worst season ever for former MVP/now teammates is.Bauers and McKinney are playing with urgency because they are fighting for their jobs.

This is the worst ever. Jess’s computer will confirm.Both with negative bWAR for the season so far, I wonder what the worst season ever for former MVP/now teammates is.
