So far, they say the two are completely unrelated.
Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a slight strain of his right forearm and right wrist tendinitis, general manager Brian Cashman said during Tuesday night's game against the Rays.

Cashman said that Tanaka had an MRI taken Tuesday afternoon that revealed the slight strain. The examination showed no significant changes to Tanaka's right elbow, but Cashman said that it will "conservatively" be about a month until Tanaka can return to the big league rotation.

Aside from the expected Tanaka news... the Yankees are doing it again... they're 13-8. How are they doing it? Very much like the Orioles had. Home runs, and dat bullpen.

I know bullpens are volatile from year to year -- still, in today's game, a top bullpen will win you a lot of games.

A lot of the pro-Miller people give him most the credit. But they completely rebuilt their bullpen over the winter. I watched one game and the announcers said they all throw over 95.

Hell, Chris Martin was out of baseball a few years ago delivering packages. Built up his shoulder strength doing that.

ARod ties Mays with a smoked line drive over the Green Monster. The Red Sox crowd really let him have it over the entire at bat. To his credit ARod didn't let it affect him, instead he stood in the box as if he belonged at Fenway more than the partisan crowd did.

I detest the Yankees and I especially detest Alex Rodriguez, but I'm glad I saw this live.

  • 2 weeks later...

Whitley got a call from Uncle TJ... but the Jacoby Ellsbury knee injury may be more costly. His .411 OBP is fourth in the AL and he was playing a perfect leadoff man. His absence now means Gardner leads off and someone moves up to the #2, shortening the lineup.

So far, they're saying it's a 2 week injury.

    • You should totally sue them. What gall they have to kinda, sorta imply that their baseball replays are accurate to the tenths of a second when they might not actually be that. That's exactly what leads to distrust of all institutions, chaos, revolution, and then we're living in some kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape, boiling our own shoes for the meager nutrition in the leather.
    • I think I used elite a little too loosely. Still, not a ton of hitters do better than 1:2 over a full season.
    • Baumeister threw 4.2 scoreless innings last night, 2 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts.  He pounded the strike zone, throwing 49 strikes in 71 pitches.   In 14 innings spanning 4 outings, he’s got a 1.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 1.8 K/BB.  The walks have been high, 10 in 14 innings, but not crazy high for a guy just getting his feet wet.  Decent start for Baumeister. 
    • I always thought that if you weren't around 10:1 you weren't trying hard enough.
    • Adley was a nearly finished product when picked, if not for tradition and service time stuff he could have been in the majors shortly after he left college. Gunnar needed 1000+ minor league plate appearances as a high school pick. Ask this same question about the 1990-2017 Orioles with their development system. They certainly could have found a way to screw up Gunnar, would have been harder with Adley.
    • I don’t think it was weird at all.  EDC said it but I thought it unfolded as expected.  You knew the QBs would go. You knew tons of OT and WR would go.   This was always going to be an offense dominated first round. The Oline and WR depth is in every round. I suspect that they go Oline twice or Oline/WR tonight.  Obviously you never know how the board falls but I think that’s what is likely.   This is mainly going to be an offense draft. EDC said a few weeks ago that they will draft a RB.  My guess is that the RB goes sometime in day 3. They will come out of this draft with at least 2 more Olineman, one WR and one RB.  I suspect they take a safety at some point as well. The question will be do they take 9 players.  The Ravens didn’t feel this was a draft with as many draftable players as years past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some kind of a trade. 
    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.
