Jeter scratched from tonight’s game (UPDATED with reason and Girardi audio)

Posted by: Sam Borden - Posted in Misc on Mar 11, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

The Yankees have just handed out new lineups for tonight with Derek Jeter no longer hitting leadoff. There’s no further word on what happened, and the Yankees clubhouse is closed since the team is working out. Just speculation, but there has been a bad cold going around the Yankees clubhouse – it hit Tony Pena, Dave Eiland and Joe Girardi (to a lesser degree) – so perhaps Jeter picked up the bug. As soon as we hear something I’ll update the post.

Here’s the new lineup:

Winn DH
Swisher RF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Posada C
Thames LF
Hoffmann CF
Pena SS
Corona 2B

UPDATE, 3:53 p.m.: Yankees just announced that Jeter is out with the flu. Apparently the bug is picking up steam.

UPDATE, 4:34 p.m.: Yankees trainers sent Jeter home so he wouldn’t pass on his illness to anyone else, and Girardi said he hopes Jeter will play Saturday. For those wondering, here’s the travel roster for tomorrow’s looooong bus ride to Viera to play the Nationals:

Pitchers: Pettitte, Garcia, Logan, Mitre, Mitchell, Segovia
Catchers: Cervelli, Gil, Montero, Pilittere, Rivera
Infielders: Cano, Corona, Nick Johnson, Laird, Miranda, Nunez, Pena, Russo, Vazquez
Outfielders: Gardner, Curtis, Gorecki, Granderson, Hoffmann, Weber, Winfree, Winn

The bus is supposed to leave at 7:45 a.m. and Girardi said that, with an awful forecast for the east side of Florida, the Yankees expect to hear from the Nationals by 7:30 a.m. if the game will be played. If it isn’t, Pettitte will probably throw a simulated game in Tampa or the Yankees may play an intra-squad game.

In other news, Girardi said that he has encouraged Francisco Cervelli to consider wearing the extra-padded batting helmet that David Wright tried at one point last year. Also, Hal Steinbrenner was in the house today for meetings but Girardi said that wasn’t uncommon.

Here’s Girardi’s audio:

    You ever notice Leo Mazzone was a genius when he was coaching the likes of Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz but skirted the edges of idiocy when he was coaching guys like Daniel Cabrera???

    Hey, not even the best chef can make cow dung taste like a great steak.

    I believe the Yankees have talented arms in the minors; but they need someone to teach them how convert that talent into performance.

  2. Erin March 11th, 2010 at 3:44 pm

    Hopefully it’s nothing too serious for the captain.

  3. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 3:44 pm

    If it’s just a bad cold, I’ll be happy. I still prefer AJ not pitch in bad weather……no sense taking any chances.

  4. m March 11th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

    Betsy, please stop worrying about AJ! They’re not going to do anything foolish.

    Spring Training game or not, I’ve been away from Yankee Baseball too long for this game to be rained out tonight.

    I’ve been catching up on the past threads all morning. Lots of moves all around baseball I wasn’t aware of.

  6. blake March 11th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    I wanna see a Montero/Heyward hour derby before the game.

  7. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    M, I would feel the same way about any pitcher. I would prefer they cancel the game rather than take chances getting players injured.

  8. mick March 11th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    gf is back! feelin better?

  9. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    Hi GF! It’s so nice to have you back here – we missed you!

  10. mick March 11th, 2010 at 3:51 pm

    why play jeter in a meaningless exhibition game where it might rain?

  11. NYY626 March 11th, 2010 at 3:51 pm

    Ahh hopefully its nothing too serious. Jetes pretty much had a cough the entire 2009 season though. Sometimes he looked like he was going to hack up a lung!

    Thank you Betsy and mick. It’s been way too long.

    I have a feeling my stay at home will be permanent this time.

    For those that want to read a lot of scouting reports on the system kids. Beware that a few of them are repeats, not all are accurate and there are 14 pages worth. Many are from people/”scouts” that haven’t even seen them. I’d suggest saving them and reading them at your leisure.

    Most have complete stats histories. Worth the time, just to become somewhat familiar with the names.

    Oh, LOL M – I know you were teasing me (and to be honest, I might not have typed it 4 times for anyone other than Phil or AJ…Just kidding, I think).

    The weather up here is pretty lousy, too; I’ll bet it’s the same system. It’s going to rain buckets for the next couple of days.

    NYPost_Kernan As I thought with Jeter, Yankee flu. It’s running through the clubhouse, haven’t see coach Tony Pena in a week 52 seconds ago

  24. Lori March 11th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

    Someone needs to disinfect the Yankee clubhouse with a can of Lysol!

  25. Ken March 11th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

    Great, this season is going to stink.

    CC has been awful. Jeter is sick. Burnett is going to pitch and might get hit by a few raindrops.

  26. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 3:58 pm

    Ooh, nasty. Poor Jeter – well, let him take as long as it takes to get better. I expect Alex will be next as they’ve been car pooling lately, lol. Hopefully he’ll get better soon…

    Flu shots are mandatory in the military. It never failed that I’d end up with a worse case of the flu by taking them than I ever had before them.

  46. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 4:16 pm

    Erica, I remember that. The thing is, the regular flu shot is different than the swine flu shot. I need to get flu shots because although I don’t get sick (can’t remember the last time I got a fever), I have allergies and I get very bad colds. The flu shot has been a god-send to me.

  47. Yankz1 March 11th, 2010 at 4:17 pm

    Hey Sam…..Do you know if Vazquez is on the 6th inning list?

  48. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 4:17 pm

    Poor Reyes – I really feel badly for him. My sister’s boyfriend (way, way back – in high school) had a thyroid issue and he had to take pills for the rest of his life.

    Marv was a great minor league slugger for the yankees. He just couldn’t get it going in the majors. He was good for a laugh, though. The stories are legendary. In one of his first games with the Mets in 1962, he hit a two out bases loaded triple to put the Mets ahead. The umpire called him out on appeal at first base for missing the bag. Stengel comes out to argue and old time umpire Shag Crawford waved Casey back, saying, “Forget it Casey. He missed second base, too.” None of the runs scored and the Mets lost.

    Bronx Jeers -

    From what I read this morning, they were going to treat it like it was a temporary inflammation, but apparently there is a test that can more accurately diagnose the condition. I would imagine he’s either had or will be having that.

    I have Hashimoto’s Disease which is the opposite condition -underactive thyroid. So I take synthroid every day. No biggie.

  71. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

    Bronx Jeers, there ought to be some kind of thing where if you have to take medication long-term, there’s some kind of discount. To have to keep refilling prescriptions seems awfully expensive.

    What team is in Viera? Ick – nasty weather in Florida. Maybe the team should go to the arcade again, lol.

    this just in : george mitchell has just retired from public service.

    the red sox have signed him to a one minor league contract so he can retire a red sox.

    mitchell will then move to his new job as an impartial analyst for espn along with that other new impartial analyst nomar garciaparra .

    mitchell, in tears of gratitude, said it was a lifetime dream to return to the red sox after having to leave to clean up the rest of major league baseball.

    mitchell said.”unfortunately, not all teams are as ethical as the red sox. i told larry lucchino on leaving that i bet i don’t find anything about the red sox “.

    Doreen,

    I had Grave’s and had the radioactive iodine treatment. Now I take levothyroxin. Which I guess is the same thing as yours.

    I can see why they are going to wait it out. I used to take the pills for hyper and the side effects are kind of harsh. He could probably play but there’s concern as his heart rate and BP are probably inflated.

    Betsy,

    It’s not really the cost but the trouble of getting the prescriptions and having them filled all the time. It’s not a controlled substance or anything like that.

    I usually go to Ecuador once or twice a year so sometimes I’ll just buy it there without a prescription.

    Brian Giles was a steroid machine. Much like his bro Marcus.

    Illnesses like Mono can cause inflamation and lead to changes in thyroid hormone output. Usually is self limiting, hopefuly the case with Reyes.

    Giles is a horrible human, that should be kicked his face in plentiful times, but he is a hell of a baseball player, king of the OBP% until Nick Johnson and Albert Pujols dethroned him.

    Doreen,

    If you haven’t already, read the part of the Fasting Path (book you ordered with raw honey info) about radishes and raphinin.

    Very good for thyroid regulation.

    Todd Helton has a better OBP than both Giles and Johnson. His career OBP is actually equal to that of Albert.

    Did you end up calling Comcast?

    I just got off the phone with RCN because they raised my bill by 10 bucks and now I am actually paying less than before for the same service.

    Bodhi -

    I’m still waiting for the book!

    I had ordered another item (to bring the total up so I could get free shipping) which was not to be released until next week. Usually, they will send the items in two shipments, or at least they have in the past. This time, they did not do that. (Amazon)

    I did not, because the my plan is in effect for another year. Also, I have a problem (personally) with saying I can’t afford something when I can. I’d have to really think about that one. :?

    What I might feel comfortable doing is saying I’d switch providers if FiOS ever came into my neighborhood.

    GreenBeret–you can’t get the flu from a flu shot. It’s just not possible. The correlation of catching the flu around the same time as getting the vx (and I mean the virus, not a shot reaction) is because, generally, people who get the vx are at doctor’s offices and clinics with many other people, some of whom are already sick.

  99. Betsy -Romine wasn't built in a day March 11th, 2010 at 5:16 pm

    You can get the flu from a flu shot because it’s usually the weakened form of the virus…. it’s pretty rare, though.

    Don’t start telling me what I had. Reactions don’t last 5-7 days. After 20 years of getting them, I know the difference.

  101. Bodhisattva - Destiny Wears Pinstripes March 11th, 2010 at 5:18 pm

    Doreen,

    Wow, we had that discussion some time ago!

    Well, the upshot is, if you can stomach ‘em, eat radishes!

    (They also are great for the bones. Some pharmas predispose to osteo problems, and one way to check is with sulfur, like MSM or if supplements are a pain just good old radishes – black and red, & daikon, the long white carrot looking ones used in Asian cooking).

  102. LGY - Child Prodigy/GB7's Bestest Buddy March 11th, 2010 at 5:20 pm

    Doreen,

    I see. You have a serious ethical dilemma on your hands. LOL.
    I was really surprised this time actually. They raised the rates for every customer so they usually won’t cut you a break because it would be unfair. So, I just called to say I needed to cancel Showtime to make up for the increase and the guy just said right away don’t worry about it I can lower your bill.

  103. Tammi March 11th, 2010 at 5:21 pm

    GreenBeret-That is no way to treat a lady. She did not say that you got a reaction. You need to settle down. Elizabeth said you got the flu because you went to a doctor office, where the flu is more prevalent.

  104. LGY - Child Prodigy/GB7's Bestest Buddy March 11th, 2010 at 5:22 pm

  105. Joe from Long Island March 11th, 2010 at 5:24 pm

    Betsy – current influenza vaccine given intramuscularly is all killed/inactivated virus particles. It is biologically impossible to contract influenza infection from that. While one may develop soreness, muscle fatigue, even low-grade fever from that, it is due to personal reaction to the foreign antigen and not influenza infection.

    That is in contrast to the inhaled nasal spray, which is live, attenuated virus particle, and may, not infrequently, cause mild influenza disease.

    Just to be correct about it….

  106. Bodhisattva - Destiny Wears Pinstripes March 11th, 2010 at 5:25 pm

    Doreen,

    Just need to clarify: MSM, because it has sulfur, is good for bones, but it isn’t good for thyroid slowness.

    Radishes are also good for bones, but they are not goitregenic, as MSM would be for a person who’s hypo. Just to be clear!

    You’re not much better than she is. I was in the military for 35 years. I didn’t “go to the doctor’s office”. The shots were given well before flu seasons.

    “Kevin Towers, the former Padres general manager, is joining the Yankees as a special assistant to general manager Brian Cashman, according to two major league sources.

    Towers willl start with the Yankees next week in Tampa after being introduced on Tuesday. He’ll scout amateurs and professionals. Also, he’ll be a sounding board to Cashman, a longtime friend.

    The Yankees will pay him $50,000, according to a Padres official, and the Padres will pay Towers more than $1 million in remaining salary.

    http://www.prosportsdaily.com/.....37686.html

    Towers, who was unavailable for comment, has said he’d like to become a GM again.

    Now thats OOOOLD school. My father in law is a retired postal worker. Need to ask him if they have mail box combines with stop watches in hand. How do you open put and close a mail box in under a second when starting with the mail in your hand? BTW, have you gone out and purchased a pitbull yet to take care of that red sox problem you have?

  112. GreenBeret7 March 11th, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    Sorry, but the only things I’m allergic to is sulphur and penicillin. I’ve taken every shot from plague to yellow fever to diphtheria to malaria. I’m not allergic to the shots.

    lol GB. I think you two should do the honers. She sticks you in the can for a “SUPPOSIDE” flu shot and you shoot her with rabies shot.

    Im also allergic to penicilin(heard that was not a good thing), codine, red sox players, red sox fans and most of my keyboard letters.

    Was going to say my wife but you never know whos listening.

    I didn’t do much in my brief military career but I did get a whole bunch of shots.

    I remember it being like an assembly line.

    And the one in the rear really hurt for like 2 days.

    Yeah, I never knew that I was allergic to penicillin until I got hit in Vietnam and they gave me a couple of needles for the blood poisoning that developed. I went out like a light. Later, I found out that my dad had the same reaction to penicillin and iodine and that my mom had an allergy to sulphur, so, I had it checked and found out that I was too.

    The military probably uses live viruses, because they want you to be sick when they want you to be. I am glad you survived their help!

    I have had the Flu SHOT twice in my lifetime. I have had the flu bug only 5 or 6 times in my life as well, but both years I had the flu shot! Mine were given to me at work both times where a nurse administered them from the cafeteria after lunch for a week or 2.

    I am sure that the shots caused the virus! I have never felt that sick before either. I am over 50! LOL! I won’t be getting those shots again.
