It’s 8:05. The grounds crew was out ready to take the tarp off. Now the men are walking off. So the delay continues.
Update, 8:15: The crew is back out and pulling the tarp off. First pitch will be about 8:50. Just announced.
who in the sam hill is jacob turner???
Apparently the tigers have contacted the rockies and told them that they are willing to include him in the deal.
I give up. I’ve conceded to the notion that UJ is not coming to the yankees. Lets just hope that colon can maintain his health for the remainder of the season.
Big congratulations to chien ming wang for finally making it back to the major leagues! it hasnt been pretty the mets are beating him up pretty good, but just making it this far after 2+ years deserves some credit. Good luck to Mr. Wang.
i think cash money is faking everyone out and angling for the last-second steal if the price does indeed come down.
Every team needs to do a Hope Week.
I think Cashman will make a significant deal. I think the odds are more than 80%.
the non-waiver trade deadline is not the end, cashman knows that other possiblilities exsist in august, too.
Jacob Turner, RHP
9th pick overall in 2009 draft
Prospect Ratings by Baseball America:
Pre-2010: Rated #26 Prospect

Pretty good numbers in AA this year at the age of 20

I guess he sort of like a righthanded Banuelos in terms of age and performance. Except Turner is 6’5″…
btw, when wang signed with washington, alot of people on here gave it to cashman hard for ‘letting him get away’ this is a good time to give some props to cash for staying away from the big guy…
Thanks for the update, Brian.
Would be good to get this game in. All part of my Even Steven plan.
tarp coming off. barring any further delays, they’ll be playing ’till around mn. the players will be exhausted tomorrow.
and we’ve got tickets to the first game.
Wang is out.
4 innings. It’s a start.
although wang deserves a world of credit for coming back, he’s getting clobbered. he’s having to pitch a lot differently, not sure how effective it will be.
Verlander, Ubaldo, Scherzer. = tough.
There is no question we will make at minimum one significant deal. The more I hear about the red sox and jimenez the more I believe we will get him.
A #2 starter and DH bat are what’s needed and I’m hopeful nobody within the organization is kidding themselves into believing this team as it stands is a world series team. Playoffs, sure, but not capable of advancing.
Really glad we made andrew brackman an untouchable and included him in the “killer bees” idiocy.
Joe In LI, I’m watching Brackman pitching and it’s sheer torture. 2 innings, no hits, no runs. The bad news, 5 walks, 0 strikeouts, 1 WP, 49 pitches, 20 strikes. 2 groundouts, 1 deep fly to center and 3 line drive outs. Low 90s fastball and a rolling curve. It’s like watching the last year of Steve Blass or Rick Ankiel. You have to feel for him, because it’s not like he’s doing it.
Montero is 1-2 with a run scored, Laird is 1-2 with an RBI sigle. Vazquez is 1-2 with a 2 run homer.
I never heard anyone say Andrew Brackman was “untouchable”.
“btw, when wang signed with washington, alot of people on here gave it to cashman hard for ‘letting him get away’ this is a good time to give some props to cash for staying away from the big guy…”
you’re not serious are you?
cashman’s mismanagement of wang’s lisfranc injury and having him go all out in spring training on a half strength hip ruined wang.
cashman was in charge of decisions when the yankees burned an all star pitcher and you want to praise him for letting him go.
actually you’re right. once you wreck something, it’s best to get rid of it.
Really glad we made andrew brackman an untouchable and included him in the “killer bees” idiocy====================
i couldn’t agree with you more…
Yclept – brackman, one of the infamous killer b’s. Untouchable, future star. Prospect hugging at its best. When he “figured it out”, they should have shipped him out for the best bag of balls they could fetch.
good to see you again randy, i see you still feel the need to pin everything on cashman. nice to see some things never change.
GB – that’s not a bad analogy, except that Blass and Ankiel had psychologic issues at play. Not sure what’s the deal with Brackman, except for bad/poorly reproducible mechanics.
Reminds me of when I took golf lessons, a few years back. I had one afternoon on the driving range, when everything came together and I was hitting one long drive after another, all right down the middle to 12 o’clock. The next day I couldn’t even hit the ball on the tee. Never got it right again, except when I put the clubs in the basement.
brackman is oh, so touchable. if they could still get anything for him im sure theyu’d jump at the chance.
Cashman diagnosed Wang and set his training regime?
Oh, Good. Joe’s wanting me to tell him about my golf. Do I start about bout who good I am or should I tell you the truth?
Blake-
Rasmus 3 ab’s 1 walk 2 strikeouts. Aren’t you glad the Yankees didn’t get him. Father now yelling at ump for the called 3rd strike!!
anything the ever happened bad with a pitcher is cashman’s fault according to randy. anything that ever happened good with a pitcher was the pitchers doing. he’s been on the dump cash campaign for several years although to his credit, he did back off for a month or two after the 09 championship.
“anything the ever happened bad with a pitcher is cashman’s fault according to randy”
everyone knows the yankees mishandled wang’s injury.
who was in charge?
you do the math.
In charge of rehab? Not cashman according to the jeter documentary. Seems randy has beef with gene or scott.
Wang was getting ground balls and DP balls like the Wang of old. Can’t wait to see him progress.
“who was in charge?
you do the math.”
…so when adam wainwright had to have tommy john surgery it was john moziliak’s fault?
Tin Cup…….I just saw your link from the previous thread, nice tract……..Back in October 2000 the week before the Subway Series, I played a links like course in Gloucester….I think it was the Bass Rock CC……It was behind the Hotel I was staying in and it was the last week before shutting down for the winter……Beautiful early morning and then all hell broke lose around 11:00 ….I was a solid 14-15 back then and I carded a 52 on the back…..Hardly a soul on the links that week as I guess all the tourists were long gone……..Yeah Wang was a setback that The Yanks are still trying to recover from, and if not careful the same fate could be in store for Hughes…….100 inning bump from 09 to 10 took a greater toll than I expected…..He should still be down in Trenton working on building up strength slowly and getting his innings in…..Why the rush to get him to The Bronx ???
Brackman is out of the game. 3.1 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, so far. 9 walks, 2 strikeouts, 2 wp
“Cashman diagnosed Wang and set his training regime?”
no , some other gm was in charge of making the decision which doctor to listen to.
as it was ,if a doctor said wang was ok to pitch in spring training he was wrong.
that’s an undeniable fact because wang had a half strength hip that by accident arod’s hip doctor discovered later. cutting wang’s rehab stints short when joba got hit by a line drive to then put wang in the bullpen only made things snowball downhill for wang.
it was total mismanagement of a pitcher’s rehab.
“.He should still be down in Trenton working on building up strength slowly and getting his innings in…..Why the rush to get him to The Bronx ???”
pat m-
i agree hughes should be in the minors. he’s totally young enough to go down and rebuild and come back and be the pitcher ha has the potential to be.
“…so when adam wainwright had to have tommy john surgery it was john moziliak’s fault?”
no it was cashman’s fault.
it’s always his fault
