Yankee4Life Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Congratulations to the Diamondbacks and the fact that they beat the Phillies was a bonus. Did you see how they won this series? 1.Sacrifice bunts. 2.Stolen bases. 3.Aggressive base running. Aggressive base running all the time. 4 Singles and line drive hits that advance runners and provide pressure on the opposition. 5. Consistent hustling defense. 6. Consistent starting pitching. Now do the Yankees do any of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Domingo German, Matt Bowman, Franchy Cordero, Jimmy Cordero, Billy McKinney and Ryan Weber were outrighted off its 40-man roster today. I don’t see anything wrong with this and it was a good move by Cashman and the Yankees. It was also an easy move on their part so we will see how well they do when the transactions and acquisitions get harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Hey!!! Ok!!! Spring training opens and we have already received our first exaggeration of the season. Aaron Boone just said the Yankees are "hellbent on being a champion." Wooo, what do you think of that? Gives you goose bumps doesn’t it? He neglects to say that this organization is always “hellbent” on this and it seems to me he is already putting up smoke and mirrors ahead of the first rash of injuries that should happen next week or the very latest the last week of February. I am conditioned now not to believe anything this guy says ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Gerrit Cole to miss at least 1 to 2 months as Yankees ace visits noted surgeon The Yankees will be without Gerrit Cole to at least the start of the season. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will be out at least one-to-two months and will head to Los Angeles for an appointment with noted sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, The Post has learned. Several Yankees doctors and ElAttrache have viewed Cole’s preliminary film, and while none has detected a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament, there’s enough concern about the ligament that ElAttrache has suggested an in-person visit. Word is that the defending AL Cy Young Award winner will be out for an “extended period,” although for now, the hope and belief is that Cole has a chance to return sometime in May or early June. The initial readings of Cole earlier in the week were optimistic, with the belief the issue could be resolved with rest and other conservative treatments, but ElAttrache has recommended more testing, raising the level of worry. Yankees manager Aaron Boone publicly ruled out Opening Day, but it’s clear Cole will need more time than that now. At the very least, Cole will need to wait for swelling and inflammation to subside, and once that does, he would need to re-ramp back up to get into major league pitching shape. The 33-year-old has shown his usual excellent velocity and command this spring, but his recovery, normally no problem for one of baseball’s most dependable starters, has been an issue. His most recent spring outing was a three-inning, 47-pitch live batting practice Thursday. “His recovery, before getting to his next start, has been more akin to what he feels during the season, when he’s making 100 pitches,” Boone said Monday, when Cole underwent the initial MRI exam. That turned out to be just the start of testing that has been going on for a few days and will continue in California with ElAttrache. Former Yankees great Masahiro Tanaka was able to pitch successfully with a weakened elbow ligament, but many pitchers are not. Gerrit Cole talks to the press at the start of Yankees spring training. Since the start of the 2020 season, no one has pitched more innings in baseball than Cole (664), who has performed like the workhorse the Yankees believed he would be when they signed him to a $324 million contract. Cole has been the rare combination of excellent and durable, never undergoing Tommy John surgery and consistently taking the ball for the Yankees every fifth day. There is no good time to lose Cole, but extended missed time this year would be especially devastating. Gerrit Cole will miss at least 1-to-2 months. In what will be an all-in year for the Yankees — who mortgaged part of their pitching future in a trade for Juan Soto, who will be a free agent after this season — there are significant questions behind Cole in the rotation. Marcus Stroman pitched just 24 innings in the second half of last season due to hip and rib-cage issues. There are questions of durability and effectiveness with lefties Carlos Rodon and Nestor Cortes, both coming off seasons to forget. In his first full season as a major league starter last year, Clarke Schmidt was OK (4.64 ERA) but not special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
