RIPPA Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yanks Nestor Cortes had an immaculate inning and struck out 12 through 5 innings today Of course since it is April (and because he has already thrown 88 pitches) - he was taken out of the game He apparently is the first Yankees pitcher ever to have 12 or more Ks in 5 innings or fewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 18 hours ago, John from Cincinnati said: Tanner Houck has revealed he's unvaccinated and will be unable to make his scheduled start when the Red Sox play in Toronto. Per Alex Cora - it is more than just Houck though he declined to say who the other players were. We will know the full list when they get replacements Along with this - Aaron Boone keeps insisting that the doesn't anticipate any issues when the Yanks go to Toronto in a couple of weeks so either he is a bad liar or an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 And Oakland is officially the first team with a COVID outbreak this year as they juts placed 6 folks on the COVID IL (And that's not counting Stephen Piscotty who went on the last week) It should be noted that two of the players are AJ Puk and Kirby Snead - who we learned last week are unvaccinated because they couldn't play in Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 guessing that unvaccinated guys coming off of a Covid case aren't gonna have special powers allowing them into Canada? think that the most obvious salami-slicing method if you're doing sports talk radio is that the unvaccinated guys are 'selfish' and 'putting themselves above their team'. Just to see how many people all-in on antivax stuff can fight on their backheel in response to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I almost accused Jed Lowrie of being an antivaxxer until I realized I was thinking of Eric Sogard. Although when it comes to not missing checks, unvaccinated players whose teams make one trip into Toronto get paid if they get COVID just before the Toronto trip, right? and then they miss more games than they would have missed otherwise, but you gotta figure they weren't great on cost/benefit analysis anyways.

Just watched the slide Pham is referring to - it was dirty as heck. Voit just clubbed Stephenson in the head in a completely unnecessary fashion.

Cobra Commander Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 One of the MLB network panelists claimed that Voit could have legally knocked Stephenson down in that situation instead of giving him the Axe Bomber.

Cabrera has absolutely zero power anymore - he hasn't slugged even .450 since 2016 - and he NEVER pulls the ball. He's also pulling off that rare feat of having an OBP higher than his SLG this year (.390 vs .389). Kudos to him for hitting .333 with a 137 OPS+ but it's a mirage.
