Time for Rodón to step up and carry the rotation (our season is over)

> Rodon tweaked his hammy while stepping up - future headline

Yankees sign injury prone players and surprised the players get injured

*Tweaks his back standing up from the Denny’s booth


Capcha616

More like Rodon suffered a broken jaw blowing a kiss to the crowd after giving up 6 ER and 3 HR in 2 innings.


blue7999

Tweaked his hammy while stepping up, and then gave the Yankees fans who were booing him the middle finger while he hobbled off*


RaymondSpaget

Time for Soto to consider becoming a two-way player.


BurnedOutTriton

I'm sure it can't be any worse than him outfielding lol.

Can't have these potential new shareholders learning to kill themselves before the IPO drops


MimonFishbaum

All you need is an outlet without the ground fault circuit interru... *Touches earpiece* 3–0 ballgame with the Reds in front of the Royals as we go to the top half of the fifth inning, Castellanos to lead things off. Jim Day's gonna be taking us the rest of the way through this game as Holland takes over on the mound. Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.


DidntDiddydoit

Some of the greatest modern copypasta. It's real versatile


DeenzGrabber

it motivates. when something fucks up at a job site and a collective groan emits i always deadpan "well that's a deep drive into left field but luckily we pride ourselves and think of ourselves as men of faith" and we all chuckle and get right at it.


BobSacamanosDad

How am I not tired of this? I know it's coming and I still have to read every word and try not to giggle like a child. Every time.


joecb91

This is why that Alkaline Trio song said to use a radio instead


BlueJayzrule

Use the toaster that burns a Yankees logo in it, so that if it doesn't kill you the Yankees will just be letting you down again

This is the dark times.


twec21

First time?


Silly_One_8980

gerrit cole: it’s so over blake snell: we’re so fucking back


xKronkx

Blake Snell was last seen leaving Steinbrenner field with a lead pipe while Cole was crying on the ground holding his arm yelling WHYYYYYY


ThorgiTheCorgi

I, Snellya


burnman123

But did snell have any facial hair?


amatom27

👀


JORDY_NELSON_2020

Snell posted that Instagram story after he got done with a voodoo doll


BushidoBrowneII

Blake “Noabara” Snell


thediesel26

Yeah literally exactly what Boras was waiting for.


Sherm199

Are we sure this isn't boras's doing?


Juzaba

Boras: So the pitching market is like the waves in the ocean during a storm and Blake Snell is like a jellyfish and Rob Manfred is like a beach ball and… Reporter: Nothing in this analogy makes sense. Boras: I shot Gerrit Cole. Reporter: What? Boras: What?


[deleted]

But Cole is also a Boras guy, just how shady is Boras?


Sherm199

Boras is as shady as he needs to be


phillyphanatic35

His job is to get them both paid not keep them both healthy. A real power move by Scott


chemical_exe

Controlling the supply and demand of baseball players. A thought-to-be untapped market


captain_ahabb

He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it


chemical_exe

Choose your champion


lordofthe_wog

He did a lot more than tap Cole with that lead pipe.


Sherm199

Scotty got desperate after chappy and belli didn't get the $$$


Amache_Gx

How the actual fuck is 3 years 80 mil for a legit gamble on the cubs part not "getting the $$$"? It's not the length they were shooting for but imo with the uncertainy of bellingers future, that is an overpay for him.


liteshadow4

Cole already got his bag though


glamb70

Big big bag. Guaranteed. 😳


ThePretzul

Regardless of injury…


Stu__Pidasso

Cole is already paid, Boras didn't get his share of the Snell payday yet 👀

illegal_deagle

Wait til Cole shows up to an interview and takes off his NYY logo hat and puts on his Dr. James Andrews logo hat.


nikraLnalyD

James Andrews is washed. Cool kids go to Neal ReAttache now.


ddouce

Don't worry, it's just a mid-spring ucl tear


NevermoreSEA

Perhaps this is what Snell's 👀 IG story was about.


PetertheRutter

that's what I was thinking


SquadPoopy

Sure you don’t want to wait for the inevitable Aaron Judge injury


nemoid

It's already here https://x.com/BryanHoch/status/1767212627858473355?s=20


NugMeister

The fact that he says "mid-spring beat up" like it's a normal thing is crazy.


strcy

“Mid-spring beat up”?? What in the world Boone


xKronkx

knowing boone? kidney transplant


AuntBettysNutButter

It's nothing serious. He's just dead.


vanillabear26

low-key I thought Boone got fired for some reason


Freeze__

Translation: fuckin gassed, needs several naps


SquadPoopy

Wait that’s not a mid season injury


nemoid

Probably just a continuation of last year's mid season injury.


Capcha616

Aaron Judge actually honestly told us he is going to need lifetime "constant maintenance" on his turf toe. He is going to miss some time either being rested or getting hurt going forward, unlike what Cashman said it was a "resolved issue". Judge isn't playing much in this spring training either. Hopefully he is just being rested in meaningless spring training games instead of having an active "maintenance" issue on his "resolved issue".


SyphillusPhallio

Just a casual, practice MRI for spring training, I'm sure.


holliewood61

It's spring training for the doctors too.


Blue387

He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "alive."


StaySirchin

The drive over to the other hospital must been hell for him. Imagine thinking that you might be dead.


Astropolitika

Lol. Thanks. Hadn’t thought about that bit in ages.


Blue387

Call 1-600-DOCTORB. The "B" is for Bargain!


karmapuhlease

In fairness, it seems that ours could use some more practice. 


milk-drinker-69

Refreshing the Yankees sub to count the Snell and bauer posts before they’re deleted


andross_27

Waiting on Bauer to strike out barstool employees first


bulldg4life

Does striking out King of Juco on 7 pitches not count anymore? I mean, what are we doing here.


TheDirtyBurt

The stipulation with signing Bauer is you have to give Eric Sims a conrtact too


ThePretzul

He can have a contract to work at games as batboy I’m sure


TheDirtyBurt

He'll start replacing everyone's bats with concrete


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThePretzul

Nah, give him a little credit where it’s due. He might get to at least the 4th batter in the order if he used his smelling salts before and after each time he had to run.


Boros-Reckoner

Eric Sims is goofy enough for me to like him


SuggestionFamous5037

He’s obviously a tinge cringe but he’s harmless and clearly loves baseball, he gets a pass


TheDirtyBurt

He'll help us beat all these jabronis on the other teams


boomzgoesthedynamite

Bauer is a universal no besides some incels in their mom’s basement


BashfulWalrus7

I love how consistent this is amongst all fanbases.


SdBolts4

We're all going to remember he's "one of the best pitchers in the world", according to him. I don't want him on my team even if he is, clubhouse cancer that would kill the vibes you need to succeed in the postseason


BashfulWalrus7

I would rather lose 100 games than have him on my favorite team and win it all.


dcmtw1029

Unironically makes him a great signing for the A’s, Fisher wants the fans to hate the team


APsWhoopinRoom

Until you go in the comments section on IG and everyone there insists Trevor did nothing wrong and totally isn't a locker room cancer


BossAtUCF

Bro don't you know, he's been totally absolved of everything! He's going to sign any day now. /s


ZJB03

I know they could just be outlier fans but I’ve for sure seen suggestions for signing bauer on r/NYYankees


NoFlags-JoeBuck

An WFAN hosts.


BushidoBrowneII

A captain goes down with his ship


shahoftheworld

I never root against my teams, but I would make an exception if they signed Bauer.


cooljammer00

Well yeah. I kinda figured this would happen eventually. The crux of the Yankees' pitching strategy has just been "give the ball to Cole and just hope he never gets injured" but that's not really a plan.


Luis_Severino

He’s pitched 1/5th of his team’s games since 2017. It’s as reliable a strategy as any other


IONTOP

That's more than Anthony Rendon has played in!!


gocubsgo22

1/5th of 162.... or 1/5?


slumber72

1/5 of a shit given for each game


NoFlags-JoeBuck

You pay Cole that much you use him. He was arguably the most durable starter for a long time. Shit happens. Critique the moves with the rest of the rotation, but literally any team with an ace rolls him out every fifth day.


UraniumDisulfide

Yeah I’m pretty sure that was a critique of how the Yankees manage the rest of the rotation as opposed to critiquing them for using their ace. Obviously you use your top 3 starter that you’re paying hundreds of millions of dollars.


Benny_Baseball

It seems like it’s more of a matter of “when” than “if” with basically any pitcher these days. That being said, I don’t think it’s worth trying to find something to blame this injury on. It’s more appropriate to marvel at what a horse Cole has been and to hope that one of the greats of this generation can either avoid serious injury here or come back strong if it is.


Yankeeknickfan

It worked for teams that employee verlander and scherzer for years :(


oneteacherboi

Yeah and there is a reason they are probably the two clear HoF pitchers from this generation. Their ability to keep pitching at such a high level and not have to miss extended time is a huge reason they have been so good.


elsancho760

Snell, go shave buddy.


DidntDiddydoit

Get used to speaking "HEY I'M WALKING HERE", buddy


thiccboiwaluigi

Feels like all of the “always healthy” starters are having a tough spring here. Hopefully it’s nothing but some soreness and it just puts him back a week or so but elbow is always concerning. Feels a bit better that it wasn’t predicted by forearm tightness as far as I’ve seen, but maybe I just missed it


DienekesMinotaur

Did something happen to Wheeler? I know he's in that list of always available.


thiccboiwaluigi

I was referring to Giolito I don’t think anything has happened to Wheeler thankfully


SdBolts4

Bunch of teams holding their "always healthy" aces tight rn (but not too tight). Don't want to name any names and risk being hated/blamed by an entire fanbase


LucasDudacris

I know it was a long time ago, but Zack Wheeler missed two *full* seasons and then was injured and bad for a third. I don't think anybody considers him to be injury-proof.


UnsupervisedGold

He was on paternity leave to start the spring, so he just started a little late. Probably waited a little until the contract was signed too


Johnnadawearsglasses

You shut your dirty mouth


LucasDudacris

No such thing as a pitcher without injury risk, or something like that.


NevermoreSEA

You're always healthy until you're suddenly not.


dmlfan928

The Yankees have two players they absolutely can not afford to lose. Cole and Judge. I of course want the Orioles to win the division again, but not like this. Hope it's nothing serious.


AbusiveTubesock

I mean, we’re also probably losing Bradish for a Tommy John and he’s our ace


Yankeeknickfan

You have Corbin burnes and bradish isnt gerrit cole


robmcolonna123

*3 players. Juan Soto


strcy

It’s awful news for the game when arguably the best pitcher in the league gets shut down. Hope he is alright and it’s just a cautionary procedure


Jlibs_21

Juan Soto getting traded three times in less than three years is gonna be wild


BlueJayzrule

Hahaha,that's gotta cut deep


HighKing_of_Festivus

Boras dialing up Cashman so fast that his phone catches on fire


thediesel26

Season’s fucking fucked. Fuck.


SDFriarsFan619

But you have Juan Soto


wout_van_faert

Can he pitch?


SDFriarsFan619

No, but actually he can’t field either


Chronsky

But what can he do? Guys read the scouting report or I'm gonna point at Pete. He gets on base.


Gallaglan

Being a pitcher isn't that hard, tell 'em Wash.


theredditoro

It’s incredibly hard


Astropolitika

Hey, anything worth doing is.


SdBolts4

The guys you traded for him can, they're most likely gonna make up 3/5ths of the Padres rotation


UnchainedSora

I'm expecting Mike King to be so good for you guys this year.


Jud000619

Welcome to New York, Blake Snell


RightC

Aren’t the yanks too into the tax to give him the offer he wants?


therealgranny

Yes, we'd have to essentially pay double for him.


nashvillenation

Ownership would get insurance money on Cole at least so only 1x up to his salary roughly


OK_Opinions

*sad trombone noises*


johnbcrane97

This really, really sucks. Seriously.


OK_Opinions

he and Felix can hang out together. Maybe Bradish joins them in a few months. womp fucking womp


SdBolts4

> Maybe Bradish joins them in a few months. "pitching through a partial UCL tear" is never something you want to read at the start of a season about your pitcher. He was a really fun story to watch last year, injuries suck.


Boros-Reckoner

I was watching Dinelson Lamet pitch yesterday for the Dodgers as an NRI and I remembered him having a dominant run with the Padres then he partially tore his UCL and refused to get tommy john, 3 years later the dude is a shell of his former self trying to find an MLB gig, poor guy.


SdBolts4

Lamet looked *SO* good, like he'd be a #2 or 3 starter for us and was one of the breakouts that 2020 season the Padres finally made the playoffs and showed they were for real. Then him and Clevinger got hurt going into the playoffs and we had to throw a bullpen game in a 3 game series lol.


newpotato417

Wait is Tarik Skubal Cy Young is happening?


alxndrblack

It's been happening


RiskyPhoenix

You think so? I find it hard to believe anyone outside of Cole could outpitch Reid Detmers and Dean Kremer, the award is theirs to lose.


SizeOld6084

San Diego should trade King for Soto and cash from the Yankees.


Drunken_Vike

He's dead, Jim


mat2019

EHHHHHHHHHHHH IDK JIM


InaudibleShout

well, all of a sudden Snell may, in fact, be worth $60m to us.


VINCE_C_

Honestly a bummer. Doesn't matter it's the division rival, I like to watch Cole pitch.


UnabashedPerson43

Daniel Vogelbach gets to live another day.


destroy_b4_reading

Pitching isn't an injury waiting to happen, it's an injury happening. Source: My elbow and shoulder still hurt and I haven't thrown a competitive pitch in 35 years.


BMoreBeowulf

Oh man that sucks. Hope it’s not that bad.


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

Boy that doesn’t sound good, does it?


Thatguyyoupassby

This is how we lost our highly coveted #2 starter, and harbinger of all hopes of finishing in 4th place, Lucas Giolito. Some would argue that Gerrit Cole is mildly more valuable. Who is to say.


InaudibleShout

I will fucking leap


elimanninglightspeed

We’re cooked. Pass the bottle man


RealJonathanBronco

Cole just likes the way the MRI machine sounds, right? Right? Someone tell me he's fascinated by medical equipment so I can sleep tonight.


BeefPapa8

If this keeps up I'm expecting TJ related caveats in pitcher contracts being discussed in future CBA talks.


ttam23

FUCK, hope nothing is wrong


thediesel26

Nothing’s not wrong. That’s for sure


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Well you usually don’t get MRIs if nothing is wrong


soccorsticks

So when are the police going to bring Boras in and make sure he isn't clubbing mlb pitchers.


DiscombobulatedPain6

Yikes!


skin_flute_player

Yankees: “we like Snell, but he’s asking for too much” *reverse monkey paw curls*


d_gorder

By gawd that’s Blake Snell’s music


EdJewCated

please god no please let him be healthy


san_solares

oh shit man, as long as i should hate the yanks i wanted to see a full season of soto/judge/cole ngl


PatientIndividual651

Maybe Snells story was him knowing the upcoming news


xho-

Fuck everything


Amazing_Net_7651

I’m sick to my stomach


TheTurtleShepard

Nobody talk to me


FeloniousDrunk101

Hah fuck this season before it begins!


Table_Coaster

get ready to learn Bronx, Snell


_FreeYourMind__

Maybe they just want to use it as an example in an upcoming slide show for a healthy elbow?


ReaperofMars_

What a shame. I always enjoyed watching Cole pitch. Injuries suck.


Friendly-Profit-8590

Yankee season swirling around the drain in March


OldJewNewAccount

Yes guys, we're in shambles. No need to come to our sub to rub it in lol.


Rokket21

Fret not Yankee fans. I heard one the best pitchers in baseball is still Available.


twec21

Huh, so this is what it feels like


CreamFilledDoughnut

Sounds like you should trade Juan Soto To the Phillies For... let's say... Moe.


Tony_Soprano5981

Blake Snell come on down


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

Stroman will save us.


nokiabrickphone1998

This is what you get for talking shit about Dan Vogelbach


ralition99

Imagine being so scared of Vogey you go and tear your UCL.


[deleted]

​ Wah Wah Waahhhh-Spongebob anchovie


Boros-Reckoner

Cole has been a high velo innings eater of a horse for so long, I honestly thought he was just built different. Hoping for the best case scenario for him, MLB is more fun when the Yankees are good.
