Ruh-roh


Just a day after pitching a nice game, CC is placed on the DL for reasons unknown.




Who exactly is 33-year-old George Kontos and why isn't he Justus Sheffield?



UPDATE: The injury is being called "right knee inflammation".

BIG UPDATE: In a related roster move, Ronald Torreyes is back!

Yikes.

Sheffield must be what?

Hurt?

Lousy?

Waiting out an option?

Irrelevant to the Yankee's plans?

Not needed to edge out Oakland and Seattle for the one game play-in?

Joe of AZ said...

But fear not CC may be breaking down faster than Chernobyl nuclear plant....BUT according to the Post Judge had dinner with his ex girlfriend... -_-

Such drama, such pathos!

JM said...

Shef is coming September 1, with the expanded roster. September might be really weird this year. I should say, weirder than usual.

I'll cryptically leave it at that. Hate typing on the phone.

If CC is hurt, so was Chris Sale.

Oh lookey! Bird struck out on a high fastball!

Joe of AZ said...

Someone tell Hicks you stay in the box till the pitcher is actually DONE THROWING the pitch

Ken of Brooklyn said...

At this point, I welcome any and all weirdness. This is beyond pathetic,,,,

This is an absolute embarrassment. George must be spinning around in his grave like a rotisserie.

ranger_lp said...

BTW, should Keith wait another 23 years before he calls another game?

ranger_lp said...

More little league baseball....smh

At least Bird bunted today.

Publius said...

Keith wasn't bad. Stick to baseball, he's fine. Today's Yanks very definitely had a "Hey, they put CC on the DL to decrease his workload so we might have a somewhat effective staryer in the WC game...which means we'll be in the WC game, so fuck it" vibe.

Will somebody PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put Luis Severino on the Dl, for cryin'out loud? Also, Aroldia Chapman?

It's obvious that neither of these guys can pitch just now. How many awful efforts do they have to turn in before somebody in the Yankees' front office will believe it???

ENOUGH!!!

As for the rest of it...has no one else noticed that A.J. Cole's 15 minutes are over? And as for the Zach Britton question, i think we have an answer: no, that complete bum will never help us. Oy.

HOSS IS RIGHT....

SEE WHAT BOSTON DID WITH SALE?

THEY PUT SALE ON A NICE 10 DAY DL SABBATICAL TO REST HIS ARM AND SHOULDER, AND HE COMES BACK GANGBUSTERS.

THEY DID IT LAST YEAR TOO.

SEVERINO NEEDS THIS.

PUT HIM ON THE 10 DAY DL AND MAKE HIM MISS 2 STARTS.

I THINK HE IS GOING THROUGH A DEAD ARM PERIOD, AND IT ALSO LOOKS TO ME LIKE HE HAS BECOME A 2 PITCH PITCHER AGAIN.

HE RARELY USES HIS CHANGEUP ANYMORE, WHICH WAS SETTING HIM APART FROM THE PACK EARLIER IN THE SEASON.

I WENT TONIGHT....NEVER AGAIN WITH MET GAMES...TOO AGGRAVATING WITH FUCKED UP MET FANS ACTING LIKE DOUCHBAGS IN OUR HOUSE. CAN'T DO IT.

HOW COULD BOONE GO WITH COLE FOR 2 INNINGS? [3 HOME RUNS]!...GREEN COULDN'T GO 2 INNINGS??? WTF??

....AND MY PATIENCE FOR BIRD HAS JUST ABOUT RUN OUT. TO BE HONEST, HE BELONGS BACK IN THE MINORS. HE HAS NO LIFE IN HIS BAT AT ALL. HIS SWINGS ALL LOOK LATE AND SLOW.

OH HOW I HATE LOSING TO THE MF'ING METS.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I hear ya, ALL-CAPS. And good points all around.

Somebody was telling me that Sevvy's arm was okay because he was throwing 100 mph.

If so, do we not have anybody who can tell if he is tipping pitches?

Is our manager completely incapable of getting these guys motivated for a Monday make-up game? How come this team so often looks as if it would rather be somewhere else for the evening?

Joe of AZ said...

Why are Boone and Rothschild allowed to continue their miserable reign as coaches.... Show their lame asses the door.... They're both pathetic and ineffective leaders

ranger_lp said...

IMHO, Evan nailed it yesterday... summed it up pretty well

re: Justus coming up Sept. 1.

I am pretty sure about this rule: Teams can only bring up players on that date who are already on the 40-man roster.

As of this moment -- Sheffield ain't.

JM said...

Sorry, Joe. I didn't realize that. I was going by what Suzyn said the other day about Sheffield--which was that he would come up when the roster expanded.

Crap.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Can't get it, ranger. Can you give us a summary?

HoraceClarke66 said...

And Toe is back! Hooray!
