Last winter, the Yankee front office banked a lot of money by skimming off TV rights to a few selected regular season games from the YES Network, and selling them to Apple TV.
Today, they're scrambling to avoid a situation where many in their loyal fan base might end up having to miss Aaron Judge make history.
But their biggest worry seems to be that the YES team won't get to call his record-breaking 61st and 62nd home runs.
That damn Judge - he's ruined everything.
Oh, yes, that's what will really upset Yankees fans. The fact that we might not get to hear Michael Kay call historic home runs. Not the fact that we may not be able to see them.
ReplyDeleteThey just don't have a clue, do they?
ReplyDeletehoss -
This x100
FWIW, Kay announced he will only be calling the YES games
ReplyDeletethere it goes.............................................................................
ReplyDeleteWith the game on Apple plus, the world will be driven to John Sterlings feet.
ReplyDeleteMiguel Andujar DFAed
ReplyDeleteAfter all the years of trade speculation involving Clint Frazier and Miguel Andujar, in the end they were both simply DFAed for nothing at all.
Great use of resources as always, Brian.
Dumb. But of course.
ReplyDeleteHey, Duque, didn't you see my public service post? Games on Apple are free, just follow the directions.
ReplyDeleteLike many of you I have a subscription to MLB. Com. I must have missed the notification that I wouldn't be able to watch all of the games. Will I reup for my fifteenth season next year? NOOOOOO,I DON'T THINK SO. And over time baseball will fade out of my life. Maybe I I'll spend the time learning a new language. Or watch "Leave it to Beaver".
ReplyDeleteNAILED IT, Zach!
ReplyDeleteI've been saying this for years. It's probably what drives me MOST crazy about Cashman.
Again and again and again, he lets players go for nothing. Either he hangs onto them too long—without playing them in the majors—as he did with Miggy and The Red Menace. Or he just doesn't look around.
Hey, I know that Sonny Gray was a big bust on the Yanks, and I wanted him gone. But traded for nothing? He had plenty left, obviously. No reason why Coops should not have got a decent, minor-league package for him.
And now this. Why even BOTHER to DFA Andujar now? What if somebody else gets hurt down the stretch?
He is an idiot. But then you all know that.
JM, Yes, I saw your post. I just know people who will refuse to sign up for a free game, because they don't want to get emails from Apple for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteDuque, I'm one of those stubborn bastards. I may as well sign up with Colombia House....
ReplyDeleteAnDUjar -- WTF?
ReplyDeleteFirst two posts again and again and again...
The fuckwad accountants -- I'm not disparaging *all* accountants. I personally know a few who are great people. I'm just talking about the brain-dead, silo-focused money-grubbing assholes in the Yankees front office -- have brought this upon themselves. Trying to pinch an extra penny from the horse-collared fans, but having their own nuts into a vise. Couldn't happen to bigger fucking assholes.
PS.
Fuck Boonie.
Fuck you, Ca$hole.
FUCK YOU HAL!
Sideways.
With sandblast grit.
And itching powder.
Forgot to mention.
ReplyDeleteInclude the dipshit MBA's with the accountants. Along with the same caveats. Not all are bad, but the ones in the Yankees front office certainly are.
The Andujar that everyone loves is in the past. Or else the scouts and GMs on teams around baseball would have been knocking on Cashman's door...
