Truly despise this signing. Every inning a nightmare.

Sad what happened to him. No confidence that he can get anyone out.

Jacoby Ellsbury - hip issue (strange, but better on the DL than anything else) Greg Bird - surgery on bone spur in foot (unlucky feet I guess and not enough time watching Happy Feet) Aaron Hicks - Grade 1 Strain on Intercostal Muscle (working out too hard) Clint Frazier - concussion (can't play a wall) Billy McKinney - shoulder sprain (can't play a wall) Other: Yankee Bullpen: Strained Left Brain Receptacle

Guy needs to start hitting. Call up Mike Ford. Let Walker play 2B more.

This means that outfielders Ellsbury, Hicks, and Frazier have been on the disabled list this year and last year. The last two times the Yankees opened in Toronto, they got an injury during the first game (or whenever Hicks's injury...

https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinsh01.shtml has his statistics. He's 33, made his MLB debut in 2009, and has 795 career plate appearances with a BA/OBP/SLG/OPS of .226/.294/.297/.590. He plays all outfield positions. Last year he played 24 innings in LF, 29 innings in CF, 35 1/3 innings in RF, and 1 game at DH. Jace Peterson was DFAed.

Tonight he became the first pitcher since 1912 (probably ever) to have a game with all of this: 1 1/3 or fewer innings At least 3 strikeouts (I doubt anybody had 3 strikeouts in 1 1/3 or fewer innings before 1912) At least 1 reached on error At least 1 grand slam At least 1 walk At least 1 hit by pitch At least 4 unearned runs 0 earned runs

He had 3 hits and 3 RBI for the first time in his career.

In all the excitement over Didi's 8 RBI and Giancarlo's 5 Ks, let's not forget that our sparkplug sparked today ... He was on base three times and scored three of those runs Didi batted in. :) Oh, and he also had an outfield assist. About time he had a thread of his own!

Please DFA this guy immediately. He should never touch a baseball as a member of the Yankees again. I've seen enough Cashman, if you see this thread... everyone wants him gone. Guys, back me up here. He's a pathetic pitcher quite honestly. That's all lol

My guess is none of these got enough innings in Spring Training. The org wanted to take it slow due to the postseason workload. I think what's being experienced early in the season is a result of that.

3 days in: 1) Bird's foot is a problem. 2) McKinney gets hurt 3) Warren got hurt 4) Hicks worked out too hard Luck, step it up.

Pitched poorly. Might be injured. Give me German, please no Cessa.

I’m worried after the workload last postseason. 2 games and no Ks is extremely rare for him.

Welcome Neil to the real New York baseball club...

If I can keep up with it, this will be a daily tracker. Gm 1: 15 PAs, 6 hits, 4 XBH, 1 BB, 4 RS, 2 HRs, 5 RBI, 4 Ks, 4 LOB, .428/.467/1.000/1.467 I'll include game results and running totals for the trio. I think it might be fun to compare results to these top 3 sluggers from the Astros & the Red Sox after each quarter (40 games): Astros: Altuve, Correa, Springer Red Sox: Martinez, Benintendi, Betts

McKinney is 23. He was one of four players acquired by trading Chapman. In Spring Training, he was tied for 13th in MLB with 5 home runs, tied for 26th with 13 RBI, and tied for 10th with 10 walks.

After a mediocre regular season last year, Tanaka showed us exactly what he's capable of in the post-season and delivered some absolute masterful performances. Tonight he picked up exactly where he left off again Houston in the ALCS. Took him a few innings to warm up but my god was he dealing. Hopefully he can stay healthy and keep it up for the rest of the season :)
