Mariano Rivera’s preliminary diagnosis is a twisted knee and he’s going for an MRI. No further details are known at this time. He was hurt while trying to make leaping catch on the warning track during batting practice.
robo to close.
hopefully it’s just a strain and no structural damage….
soriano-hughes-drob
Jason Nix hit the ball that hurt Mo….not the best start to his day
Really like Ross Detwiler. Didn’t realize he was a former 6th overall pick. Looks like he’s coming into his own so far this season.
depth=sori-hughes-drob
“soriano-hughes-drob”
if Mo’s injury is significant (and lets hope it’s not)….then that’s what they should do…..Hughes could still be an awesome reliever and I’d trust him more right now than I would Soriano.
silver lining- drob is a better closer than anyone in the al east
Thinking only good thoughts. <3
What a stupid thing for Rivera to do as his shagging flyballs have always been.
NO MORE SHAGGING FLYBALLS FOR HIM WHEN HE RETURNS HEALTHY!!!!!!!!
I don’t give a #@#$ if he doesn’t like it, he’s a pitcher and more specficially the Yanks closer and #1 reason for living i.e. for making the postseason, not an outfielder. No way he plays the outfield save in a game the Yanks are up by five or more runs (out of grandslam tying the game range) with no one on in the ninth where if a ball is hit his way, he doesn’t make a move towards it even if it means an inside the park homerun, if he wants to play out his fantasy of playing in the outfield. Stick him in RF and let Granderson get whatever ball hit Mo’s way.
Now we will see how Robertson does as a closer. I have full confidence D-Rob can do the job while Mo is on the disabled list. It will be intriguing to say the least as when was the last time someone other than Mo came in to close three or more games in a row?
I’d rather Hughes start.
“I’d rather Hughes start.”
Yea….I would too really…but we’ll see where that goes..
I don’t care who closes, who is the EIG or whatever. I just want Mo be OK.
*to be OK*
I’d rather Hughes be designated for assignment.
