@Brian6pyoc @NickSantolla @YankeesPR @BryanHoch "Now why in the world wouldn’t you have just made fried the 27th today I simply don’t get this org"

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@Brian6pyoc @NickSantolla @YankeesPR @BryanHoch ok, if Fried was the 27th man, what would happen after the second game to make the roster have 26 players.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@Brian6pyoc @NickSantolla @YankeesPR @BryanHoch How are you going to return a guy that doesn't have options. Specifically how are you going to "return" Fried who was previously on the IL.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@Brian6pyoc @NickSantolla @YankeesPR @BryanHoch They do have to be optioned after the game. It doesn't count as one of the five options but it has to be a player that actually has a minor league option. It cannot be Fried.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@NickSantolla @YankeesPR @BryanHoch The 27th man for a double header has to be someone with options because they have to be optioned at the end of the day which Beck will and obviously Fried won't.

@BaseballWRLD_ @ChrisCoop_ Why would you trust them to get him passable back there if you don't trust them to evaluate whether it would work?

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@ChrisCoop_ You are leaving out the skill that makes him a plus defensive catcher overall. Why?

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@YankeesFanEarl @Rick12_85 They owe the 30m total regardless the only condition on that was Stanton not using his 2020 opt out.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@Rick12_85 I think it is truly up to him, if he wants to continue working through everything through next year they owe him the 15m either way. But this year they've operated as if he is a bonus and not a need and I'm sure that will continue.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@YankeesFarm It looks like you gave him Puello's line in the preview.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@GaryHPhillips let him prove once and for all that he would indeed strike out Babe Ruth every time

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@Rick12_85 ERC is pitching rn in Scranton.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@YankeesFiles proven otherwise?

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@UmpireAuditor He denies challenges so frequently it has happened twice to the same player

[Umpire Auditor @UmpireAuditor]

Umpire Emil Jimenez called a strike on a pitch that missed high by 6.07 inches.

This was the largest miss this season for a non position player pitch.

The Yankees still had both challenges left, but when Jasson Domínguez tried to challenge, Jimenez inexplicably denied the request.

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@timbhealey last season? When ABS didn't exist and it was automatic?

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@YankeesFiles Any hypothetical that supposes if X then Y where Y is Yankees fans would probably be complaining a lot less is kind of fan fiction tbh

"Who needs doubles? Who needs doubles f*ck 'em" 😂

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@TheWARmonger_ How would it be a double play? Wasn't it a pickoff attempt?

[Karcotte @Karcotte]

@jerktweets @pamsson He did have some weird looking plays last year but this year has been more noticeably off maybe just with him playing every day.
