He waits...

Posted by el duque at 11:45 AM

What was that? A snapping sound? It came from Aaron Hicks' buttocks...

Dantes said...: I heard he was taking reps at short after watching ikf’s start to the season; April 10, 2022 at 12:12 PM
AboveAverage said...: In addition, Gardy just wrapped up his Evelyn Wood speed home business management course just in case Ca$h's annual "rappelling ends with a felling"; April 10, 2022 at 1:04 PM
JM said...: I do miss the old codger. But, it's only a matter of time with Hicks out there. Even though the OF should be Gallo (does he have to bat?), Judge, Stanton, to begin with.

That long-term Hicks signing has a chance of reaching Damonesque status.; April 10, 2022 at 2:42 PM
DickAllen said...: Meanwhile, The Sanchino hit a granny in his first at-bat today. Watch him have a career year. Wouldn't that be something?; April 10, 2022 at 2:45 PM
Alphonso said...: Gallo did not exactly " flash leather" yesterday, either. He badly mis-played the sinking liner ( not enough speed to get there )and should have caught that fly ball ( that hit the wall and zipped right past him). Once again, his sloth like foot-speed prevented him from making the catch.

To make up for those gaffs, he decided to leg out his hit to right field and make it into a double. Once again, the sloth like tendencies caught him up about 10 feet short of the bag.

This can't continue. The problem is ; Gardy is next man up. We have no young outfielders who show any talent.; April 10, 2022 at 3:03 PM
el duque said...: Estavan Florial!; April 10, 2022 at 3:28 PM
el duque said...: The Florial Arrangement.; April 10, 2022 at 3:28 PM
AboveAverage said...: el duque - it makes sense so long as you remember to : trim his stems; change his water daily; keep him in indirect sunlight and most importantly - feed him a high quality flower food; April 10, 2022 at 3:59 PM
Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...: Florial arrangements… as seen at funerals. When this season is dead and buried, maybe they’ll consider bringing up a minor leaguer. But only then to showcase, inevitably devalue, and trade.

One more Coupa ad and I’l gonna shoot the radio.; April 10, 2022 at 5:50 PM
JM said...: And Monty gets a shot on the ankle. How many days on the IL? Broken?

Whoa, he's shaking it off and back to the mound.; April 10, 2022 at 7:18 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: It's not that Gallo lost a step. On that single off the wall, he stood at home and watched his shot, sure it was out. Then he ran.

Or let's say, he's lost a mental step.; April 10, 2022 at 8:15 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Wow, Eduardo Perez an even more over-the-top Yankees hater than the usual ESPN crew. He actually gave Verdugo credit for NOT throwing home when Rizzo should have been dead to rights.; April 10, 2022 at 8:25 PM
Doug K. said...: So the Kay Rod broadcast with A-Rod / Ortiz and now Clemens is basically,"steroids-on-parade"?

Come to think of it - Michael Kay's head is large as well.; April 10, 2022 at 8:27 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Isn't Hicks overdue for his next injury?; April 10, 2022 at 8:28 PM
Doug K. said...: At 67 MPH hicks should have taken the hit; April 10, 2022 at 8:31 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I'll say. It would have also been mid-body. Changes the whole game.; April 10, 2022 at 8:41 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And yes, another major fielding flub by a guy brought in for his defense, and who can't hit his way out of a paper bag.; April 10, 2022 at 8:42 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: So Judge throws the ball...to shortstop?; April 10, 2022 at 8:46 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: All right, nice work by Schmidt.; April 10, 2022 at 8:50 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Now Donaldson decided to take a pitch. Oy.; April 10, 2022 at 8:57 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Houck had nothing. Very bad they couldn't get to him.; April 10, 2022 at 8:58 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Early returns on offseason pickups.
Rizzo good. Donaldson not so much.

When are Yankees pitchers going to stick up for their guys being thrown at? Goose Gossage is clearly not on the roster anymore.; April 10, 2022 at 9:02 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: ESPN just broadcasting the vital fact that Giancarlo has produced 27 of the 34 hardest hit balls "in the Statcast era," and has the hardest hit ball in 16 different parks.

Yeah, those are pretty important stats, all right, sort of like saying you're thrown the hardest football passes, without telling us whether they were complete or not.; April 10, 2022 at 9:28 PM
Publius said...: Watching Hicks step into the box is depressing.; April 10, 2022 at 9:30 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Wow, Hicks is just miserable. At least he only made one out this time.; April 10, 2022 at 9:31 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Love Falafel trying to pull low, outside breaking balls. Yeah, that'll work.; April 10, 2022 at 9:33 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Couldn't hit that pitch, couldn't lay off it. Terrible pickup.; April 10, 2022 at 9:34 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Hoss, Glass Mike probably has the fastest bat speed on swinging strikes also.; April 10, 2022 at 10:03 PM
ranger_lp said...: Four hours I’m not getting back….; April 10, 2022 at 10:52 PM
Platoni said...: This was one of those bad taste losses. 3-11 with RISP and in one of those hits, the guy on second didn't even take 3rd; April 10, 2022 at 10:54 PM
DickAllen said...: If it already has been said, the Yankees left 29 runners on base. If it had been said it’s worth repeating: the Yankees left 29 runners on base.

Also, would someone please explain why Donaldson is our lead off hitter?; April 10, 2022 at 11:38 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: It's all about bat speed. None of those archaic concepts, like *contact*!

But boy, did those guys striking out in ninth look like they would have had great launch angles if they ever put one in play. That was exciting rally baseball right there!; April 11, 2022 at 12:01 AM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Actually, the Yankees left 11 guys on base, if we're talking about how LOB is traditionally figured. 29 is a number derived by adding up how many times each batter failed with guys on base.

But 11 is plenty, and that 29 does tell us something. And I agree: it was a bad loss, one in which the team blew numerous opportunities.

The good news is that based on a very small sample size, the Sox don't look like they have much to offer this year—certainly not much pitching.

The bad new is that, faced with slow pitchers they were able to whack hard...the Yanks scored a grand total of 13 runs in 3 games, including 2 Manfred Men.

Once again: going for the fences every time, all the time, doesn't guarantee you anything. Two more singles in the right situations tonight would've had the Yanks winning in a romp.

And again: too much dead wood. Hitters who can't hit, fielders who can't field.; April 11, 2022 at 12:30 AM
Oasisdave said...: Only a matter of time before the same old flaws sink this team. Cashman needs to go, nothing will change until he does and Hal quits penny pinching; April 11, 2022 at 1:59 AM
The Archangel said...: Went to bed to read when the game was tied and Yanks had men in scoring position.
Woke up up with the Yanks still at 3 runs.
I think that the entire team gets the yipes at the plate.
Could we please acquire a gap hitter
Where's a Roy White or Lou Pinella ?; April 11, 2022 at 6:26 AM
