Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Placed INF/OF Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.
• Recalled OF Spencer Jones (#78) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The WNBA disrespected America tonight by refusing to wear the USA 250 patch on their All-Star jerseys…
WNBPA Treasurer Brianna Turner said the patches shouldn’t be worn because “No WNBA players would have been free 250 years ago”
They’re the only major American sports league to refuse to wear the patches.
BREAKING: In an interview this morning Donald Trump was asked if his announcement that he intends to run for a third term means Barack Obama can run a third time too, and he got silent and frowned for several seconds, folded his arms across his chest, and said, “No.”
I’m not sure why Yankee fans still think the Yankees will call up Lombard or trade for Mason Miller or a big time right handed bat… it’s rinse repeat every year.
They’ll get Kyle Higashioka and a failed reliever from KC, and Volpe will be starting at Short in the playoffs.
18 months. $5 trillion fucking dollars in 18 months. And we still don't have healthcare. And they gutted education. And food assistance. And food safety, and clean air, and clean water. And cut 300k federal jobs. Where the actual fuck is that new spending actually going?
This entire issue is MLBs fault. They wrote a shitty rule with tons of loopholes and now they’re making it up as they go when players start exploiting the rule.
They screwed up and they’re trying to make the players look bad for it.
But more importantly, I haven’t seen one pitch clock violation called on a pitcher who stares down a hitter for 6-7 seconds and then starts his windup with 1 second on the pitch clock.
So why is Jose Caballero being singled out for doing the hitters version of the same thing?
If the league wants to cut down on players manipulating the pitch clock, that’s fine. But it can’t just be Caballero getting singled out. Needs to be called on pitchers as well.
And the rule should be fixed so this ambiguity isn’t there anymore.
Caballero plays the system, sure, but the MLB needs to just change the rule. They changed the rule with Stanton asking for time and not moving from the batter box after it became an “issue”.
The league office saying they are done with it doesn’t matter because they have not changed the rule. That’s like the NBA league office being done with Jokic fumbling the ball so he doesn’t inbound the ball right away to waste more time, but not changing the rule officially. You can’t officiate and penalize players for not breaking the rules lol.
36 of the #Yankees final 60 games are going to be started by Max Fried, Gerrit Cole and Cam Schlittler.
Brian Cashman, don’t waste this and go get some bats.
Total betrayal.
The House of Representatives passed the NDAA 216-212.
7 Republicans voted NO.
6 Democrats voted YES.
This $1.1 trillion dollar military budget contains Sec 219 that ties our military intelligence and military industrial base to Israel.
Now it goes to the Senate.
@JomboyMedia “Antics” is following their rules. Be set in the box engaged with the pitcher by 8 seconds. Was looking at the pitcher with 9 on the clock. Pitchers can hold the ball all the way to 1 by can’t batters do the same for 8?
The rule clearly states engagement with the pitcher must happen by eight seconds on the pitch clock. Caballero engaged in this at-bat at nine seconds. So Manfred, his joke of a league office, and the clown umpires conspired to illegally and improperly enforce their new made-up rule today, and without informing anyone of their arbitrary rule change. They're a collective clown show of epic proportions.
