Congratulations to the Diamondbacks and the fact that they beat the Phillies was a bonus. Did you see how they won this series?

 

1.Sacrifice bunts.


2.Stolen bases.


3.Aggressive base running. Aggressive base running all the time.


4 Singles and line drive hits that advance runners and provide pressure on the opposition.


5. Consistent hustling defense.


6. Consistent starting pitching.

 

Now do the Yankees do any of this?

Domingo German, Matt Bowman, Franchy Cordero, Jimmy Cordero, Billy McKinney and Ryan Weber were outrighted off its 40-man roster today.

 

I don’t see anything wrong with this and it was a good move by Cashman and the Yankees. It was also an easy move on their part so we will see how well they do when the transactions and acquisitions get harder.

Hey!!! Ok!!! Spring training opens and we have already received our first exaggeration of the season. Aaron Boone just said the Yankees are "hellbent on being a champion."

 

Wooo, what do you think of that? Gives you goose bumps doesn’t it? He neglects to say that this organization is always “hellbent” on this and it seems to me he is already putting up smoke and mirrors ahead of the first rash of injuries that should happen next week or the very latest the last week of February.

 

I am conditioned now not to believe anything this guy says ever again.

Gerrit Cole to miss at least 1 to 2 months as Yankees ace visits noted surgeon

The Yankees will be without Gerrit Cole to at least the start of the season.

 

 

 

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will be out at least one-to-two months and will head to Los Angeles for an appointment with noted sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, The Post has learned.

 

Several Yankees doctors and ElAttrache have viewed Cole’s preliminary film, and while none has detected a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament, there’s enough concern about the ligament that ElAttrache has suggested an in-person visit.

 

Word is that the defending AL Cy Young Award winner will be out for an “extended period,” although for now, the hope and belief is that Cole has a chance to return sometime in May or early June.

 

The initial readings of Cole earlier in the week were optimistic, with the belief the issue could be resolved with rest and other conservative treatments, but ElAttrache has recommended more testing, raising the level of worry.

 

Yankees manager Aaron Boone publicly ruled out Opening Day, but it’s clear Cole will need more time than that now.

 

At the very least, Cole will need to wait for swelling and inflammation to subside, and once that does, he would need to re-ramp back up to get into major league pitching shape.

 

The 33-year-old has shown his usual excellent velocity and command this spring, but his recovery, normally no problem for one of baseball’s most dependable starters, has been an issue.

 

His most recent spring outing was a three-inning, 47-pitch live batting practice Thursday.

 

“His recovery, before getting to his next start, has been more akin to what he feels during the season, when he’s making 100 pitches,” Boone said Monday, when Cole underwent the initial MRI exam.

 

That turned out to be just the start of testing that has been going on for a few days and will continue in California with ElAttrache.

 

Former Yankees great Masahiro Tanaka was able to pitch successfully with a weakened elbow ligament, but many pitchers are not.

Gerrit Cole talks to the press at the start of Yankees spring training.

 

Since the start of the 2020 season, no one has pitched more innings in baseball than Cole (664), who has performed like the workhorse the Yankees believed he would be when they signed him to a $324 million contract.

 

Cole has been the rare combination of excellent and durable, never undergoing Tommy John surgery and consistently taking the ball for the Yankees every fifth day.

 

There is no good time to lose Cole, but extended missed time this year would be especially devastating.

Gerrit Cole will miss at least 1-to-2 months.

 

In what will be an all-in year for the Yankees — who mortgaged part of their pitching future in a trade for Juan Soto, who will be a free agent after this season — there are significant questions behind Cole in the rotation.

 

Marcus Stroman pitched just 24 innings in the second half of last season due to hip and rib-cage issues.

 

There are questions of durability and effectiveness with lefties Carlos Rodon and Nestor Cortes, both coming off seasons to forget.

 

In his first full season as a major league starter last year, Clarke Schmidt was OK (4.64 ERA) but not special.

It’s time for my annual who stays and who goes list.

 

Pitchers

 

Get some rest over the winter and be prepared to work on fundamentals:

Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, Clarke Schmidt, Carlos Rodon, Luke Weaver, Will Warren, Marcus Stroman, Clayton Beeter, Jake Cousins, Cody Poteet, Ian Hamilton, Mark Leiter, Jr.

 

Enough already!

Nestor Cortes, Clay Holmes

 

You waste of space

Jonathan Loaisiga

 

Re-sign him

Tim Hill, Tommy Kahnle

 

Hitters

 

Like the pitchers, get some rest and then be prepared in February to work on something called “fundamentals.” You can do it. I have faith in you.

Oswaldo Cabera, Jazz Chisholm, Jr, Anthony Volpe, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton

 

They deserve a decent shot.

Oswald Peraza and Ben Rice.

 

Come in early and don’t forget your glove

Jasson Dominguez

 

Get the hell out of here

DJ LeMahieu, Anthony Rizzo

 

Probably going to go.

Jon Berti, Trent Grisham, Alex Verdugo

 

More who should go.

Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman.
