@rationalyankee Yup. It’s a shame. If he could hit .250, his glove would be enough to make up the difference.

@YankeesPR Oswaldo…

@rationalyankee It’s my guess that there’s pressure from Baseball to do these things publicly. The really ridiculous part that you don’t mention is that the Yankees could theoretically have four more of these celebrations.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee Skipping a start or maybe giving him an extra day or two sounds like a good idea — especially if catching the Rays continues to look unlikely.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@YankeeLibrarian Yes yes yes. A thousand times yes.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@prezcaballero The revisionist history regarding Steinbrenner is crazy. Sure, 1995-2009 was great, but the 80s? Absolute trainwreck. It wasn’t just bad, it was embarrassing.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee Also this — there’s really no chance he has another year like this one.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee I feel bad about admitting this… but I completely agree.

Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
•Recalled RHP Bradley Hanner (#93) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
•Placed RHP Kervin Castro on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 8/10) with right elbow neuritis.

@GinaMuscato 100%.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee It’s his defense for me. There will be ups and downs with the bat, but his glove is so good that if he can even hit .240 or so, the defense will make up for it. And you’re right — he’s been fun to watch.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee My thoughts — the offense is gravy at this point. If he hits .200 the rest of the way, his defense will make up for it. If everything hit to shortstop is an out, that’s a win.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@TheWARmonger_ Watching live it didn’t make sense.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@rationalyankee It’s my guess this is the toughest day for you to fight the rational fight against the irrational masses. I tip my cap.

@rationalyankee Can’t wait for the lockout.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

In 1776 Thomas Paine said, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” But Paine didn’t have to watch the Yankees play in extra innings.

@BryanHoch We don’t need to keep asking? About a muscle strain that’s taken more than four months to heal??? Please ask him again tomorrow, Bryan. And the next day. Maybe ask during pre- and postgame.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@BryanHoch How in the world was that not an error on Jazz? The dropped throw turned an out into a double. Would’ve been a very different inning.

[Hank Waddles @Yankee_Hank]

@Todd_Spence No idea how there are people who didn’t know this. I mean, even if you didn’t know it, wouldn’t you recognize the voice???
