On Manfred's comment about the "piece of metal" World Series Trophy: Next World Series Trophy presentation- hand the Trophy over and say- " Here's a worthless piece of metal, You might want to recycle it." https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodg...ld-series?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true From J. Lester-
And people thought Bud Lite was ad. Manfred the wonder dog is not making friends and influencing people in his "crisis management" mode. There will be fans, the media, and players chasing his ass like a pack of dogs until this scheme is dealt with. Still no further word on Boston did that get swept under the rug.
Yankees top pitching prospect Deivi García will throw his first big league camp live BP tomorrow. García said he’s really excited and that he’s embracing the comparisons to Pedro Martínez. “I love it,” García told me. “It makes me want to work harder to one day be like Pedro.”
Speaking of pitching per MLB Network today Severino is experiencing shoulder problems and will be checked out by medical staff.
Again... to reiterate: Paxton, now Severino?? A new Training Crew, and there will be injuries in this game, especially in ST. Hopefully it's not major, yada yada. But, this isn't good in any way!! Let's hope it doesn't snowball! Bring in the Exorcist TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino has been shut down from throwing for the second consecutive spring training, this time because of right forearm soreness. Severino, who turned 26 on Thursday, was sidelined until the final weeks of the regular season last year. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Severino has been feeling on and off discomfort since October. “That’s certainly concerning,” Boone said. “We’ll just have to continue see how this declares itself.” Severino also has a loose body in his right elbow that the manager said has not been an issue. New York already expects to be without left- Continued- https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/yankees-luis-severino-has-sore-right-forearm-shut-down-022020
the scandal... from Kershaw's losing perspective. Game 5, 2017 World Series- Kershaw was 71-1 in all games in which he had a 4 Run lead!! https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/02/20/astros-cheating-scandal-clayton-kershaw
Note- 5 (non-roster) Catcher's are in Tampa, 5. Who will replace Romine? I"d be shocked if it were Higgy!
1- Cole 2- Tanaka 3- Happ 4- Monty 5- King, Lasagna or Cesspool?? Should be- Cole Severino Tank German Paxton Not necessarily in that order... The Yankees are still paying the price for a totally incompetent training staff of 2019! I seriously thought Cessa would have been traded for a legit Starter by now! Obviously Trashman can't see through his love for Cessa's 97mph fastball. Cesspool will be 28 yrs old in April. With 4 Season's under his belt, it's obvious he's incapable of being a Quality SP/RP. 2019 IP 81.0 Hits 75 Runs 42 HR. 14 BB 31 SO 75 H/9 8.6 HR/9 1.3 BB/9 3.4 SO/9 8.3 I'd like to see what King can do. Cesspool has never impressed. Lasagna? He's gotta step up big time. Prove he's not another Cesspool!
^^^^^and Lasagna is rated very high in Trashman & BaBoone’s black log book! And Trashman couldn’t stand Joe Girardi’s black book! Will Trashman ever learn?
Rumors are running wild that the Yankees are very interested in NY Mets’ LHP Steven Matz.....God knows what Cashman is offering. We shall see where this rumor winds up!!!
I hope our GM can contain his insecurities enough, to NOT trade one of the Yanx blue chip prospects for a career *batting practice* pitcher!
Got a huge chuckle out of Heidi Watney reminding Boner that in spite of back to back 100 game winning seasons the Yankees haven't won a Championship since '09.
Yankees play the Phillies tonight, should be an interesting interactions between Girardi and the players. Not so much so with Boner and or Cashman if he shows his face, Still pissed off after the way the Yankee Brass treated Girardi.
