Yankees pushing back Tanaka's start from Sunday vs Orioles to Monday vs Angels. Yankee people feel Tanaka will fare better against lighter hitting Angels. I say hogwash! Pampering this guy on the major league level is total nonsense. If there is concern, Cashman should let Tanaka work out his problems in Scranton. Personally, Tanaka's problems will persist. He's become a headcase, and those problems just do not disappear!
...CC went from the dog house to the penthouse...so maybe Tanaka can somehow figure his problems....but I checked and my magic 8-ball says "Ask again later".
Gardner -LF Hicks -CF Judge -RF Holliday-DH Castro -2B Sanchez -DH Gregorious -SS Headley -3B Romine -C
In the book "Balls" Graig Nettles made the profound statement that "on any given day one major league team could beat another. Tanka need to pitch according to rotation order instead of being a spoiled little guppy. If he can't solve his "problem" continue his dose or recent humility in the minor leagues. Heard there's a kid named Chance Adams down there who's pitching pretty well, Lets bring him up for a cup of coffee and see what happens. Make these guys play for their jobs,
Come on guys, 3 hits through five innings! That won't do. Let's get some more for runs! Falling into bad habits................0 for 6 with RISP! Details, details, details ........it's all in the details.
Hicks seals the deal! He is on fuego! Hicks is doing everything what Yankees thought Ellsbury would do! Ellsbury getting hurt was best thing for the Yankees & Hicks!
Hicks has earned his pinstripes fair and square. The Yankees have a legit centerfielder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellsbury should be very embarrassed that he signed a 7 year what 150 mil deal, and is getting his ass kicked by Hicks. I say he should be but is probably not. I once heard Girardi omment on Hicks that aking to the Red Sox not giving up on Bradley the Yankees were not giving up on Hicks. Looks like Girardi made the right call.
Damn fine job by Jmo this evening. Yeah the Orioles were hitting Clippard hard. Hicks made an outstanding play on that Adam Jones fly ball.
^^^^Ellsbury will never be embarrassed with his signing. Cashman is the one who should be embarrassed & ridiculed for the Ellsbury signing!
^^^this...thought Ells' contract is an albatross for the Yanx, Cashman was the one who made the inflated offer and Ellsbury would have been foolish not to take it...Cashman's offer to Ellsbury was simply a knee jerk reaction by Cashman after Cano said no to the 7 year/$170 Mil offer from the Yanx...Cano said he felt the Yanx "disrespected" him with such an offer and then later said "it wasn't about the money"... sure Robbie, if you say so. ...still does not change the fact that Ellsbury has been a huge disappointment...and oh, btw, fuck Cano.
...first time in over a month that the Yanx have won more than 2 games in a row...with the schedule favoring the Yanx over the next 3 weeks, they have a good chance to distance themselves from the rest of the division.
