The team is already in NYC so the Pax man will simply be taken, by limo, to the Hospital for Special Surgery on the upper east side.
MRI's on knees don't always tell the tale. But tweaks are usually more than tweaks. He was able to go as long as he did, because he had an off season of rest. Another long rest, without the knife, will just get you a bit more of the same.
Pax man went down early yesterday, it just took the form of his lack of command. For the first time all year, he threw more balls than strikes.
If he needs surgery, that means the Yanks are down Ace #1 and Ace #2.
As Duque documented for you, there is no " next man up" as a starter.
Not in Scranton.
So, in the distorted belief that this team can win if it can get healthy, Cashman will be given the keys to the wine cellar.
Say goodby to any young prospects in which you have interest.
Maybe even draft picks.
Personally, I would do none of it. Because our winning, while great fun, has been a bit of an illusion.
Just throw Adams to the wolves and live with it. So what if he is 0-12? Maybe he'll find himself.
Otherwise, Cashman will roll back the clock to where we are, again, a team of old guys, and a franchise with a laughable farm system.
No future with considering.
Speaking of guys old beyond their time...Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill just informed us that they've never seen any of Star Wars or Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteAll right, I haven't been that much of a sci-fi fan myself, at least not after junior high. But c'mon. First no condiments, then no Star-anything for Kay?
If you're going to be a broadcaster for a popular entertainment, shouldn't you have SOME familiarity with the culture? I mean, it's not like Kay spends all his spare time reading Proust. Or, you know, learning anything much about the history of the game.
What do you mean "no condiments?"
ReplyDeleteThey eat hot dogs plain? Hamburgers?
ReplyDeleteAnd the answer is: Jake Barrett.
Called up from AAA to take Paxton's roster spot. The NY Post says:
"Barrett, 26, was claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates in early April, and is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA and 16 strikeouts in eight appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre."
ReplyDeleteBackground on Barrett, from a 4/4/19 NYPost article:

We won't be in the post season because our pitching sucks.
ReplyDeleteBoone...or is it bane?...is trotting out all the bullpen scrubs to ensure that no matter how many runs we score, the Twinks will score more. Barret just did his part by coughing up a home run to Cruz. His ERA is officially 9.00, I think.
ReplyDeleteSo instead of just having to correct for another hapless Happ outing, they have to score four in the ninth to tie.
There was a Gammonite story about how all the bullpens generally suck this year, though obviously there are exceptions. We are not one of them.
And really, would it have been so bad to give Gio G just a start or two, just in case we got lucky? Unless negotiations for Keuchel are in progress, it would've been at least a bit better than Adams.
So El Matador comes back, gets a walk and a hit...and makes two errors. Still, nice to see him.
ReplyDelete@HC66...btw John and Suzyn were talking about Game of Thrones night at Yankee Stadium and both admitted that they didn't know what the Iron Throne was (might of heard that the Iron Throne might appear there that night, but wasn't sure). John might think he knows that the Iron Throne might be a fixture in the Sloan yada yada broadcast booth bathroom that he uses. Suzyn then said that they should have called it the Iron Chair instead. Well, to sum up, they were clueless on this subject.
