Oswaldo Cabrera does not need to be a Yankee.

They were running out 3-4 non-major leaguers per night all year long. Completely unacceptable for an organization that generates as much money as they do (far more than any other org in the sport by a mile).

You should have saved and used the card during this series so he wouldn't hit one.

Neither does Peraza, Florial, or Everson. They are utility players at best and nobodies.

Pretty much agree Florial is the only one that I think still has a chance but that rookie crop for the most part is awful.

Yep I just wanted to get the 15 cards entered, only hit 2 out of 15 at least they were Acuna jr. and Harper.

I've actually never taken the chance and tried on my home run challenge cards.

I figured since they unlike Panini and their rewards point’s don’t charge for shipping it’s worth a shot. My rate sucks but I have hit some decent ones in the past. I have never tried the double down option as I would hate to still lose because the home run didn’t go far enough.

Yankees need to find anyone that regrets missing out on Rodon in free agency and thinks they can get him to turn things around. He clearly isn’t built to play in not just New York but the Yankees themselves. I hated the signing in the off season being oft injured and honestly not great career numbers at the amount he was paid. Last season was the first time he had over 30 starts in a season and his numbers were bolstered playing half his games in SF.

Not only was he injured for much of this season he was mostly disastrous when playing. From blowing kisses to Yankees fans booing him in Anaheim to turning his back on the pitching coach last night he just doesn’t have the mental tenacity to play in pinstripes.

“I was not in the right mind. That’s on me.”- Carlos Rodon.

This has been proven multiple times this season. He has given off some very Jack McDowell vibes who was actually much better in pinstripes than what Rodon has done. Another failed Cashman move and he’s on the wrong side of 30 as well.

This is a good response. Get rid of Rodon now. He is not going to be eating ramen, and he can say goodbye at the airport.

Lol now???? Coming off a disastrous season, the best you can hope for is hes ok at the start of the season and he's dealt at the deadline, assuming we are out of it.

Know-it-all-I-told-you-so posts are the best.

I didn’t predict he would be a mental midget in NY. That’s just the cherry on top.

Idk if Im ready to go there yet. He's definitely different but I don't see the deer-in-the-headlights look with him. He's just super ornery. We'll see I guess.

I just hate if he doesn’t turn it around they are most likely stuck paying his salary for another 5 years.

Nice hit for DJ to start the game.

[fulltritty]

Too bad they couldn't get him in.

[fulltritty]

Too bad Schmidt couldn't get out of the inning without giving up a run.

1-0 Royals

[fulltritty]

2 innings in a row with the leadoff runner reaching.

[fulltritty]

Way to go Peraza.

[fulltritty]

At least Schmidt got out of that inning without giving up a run.

[fulltritty]

DJ on fire. A triple for his second hit of the game.

[fulltritty]

Royals 2-0 now.

[fulltritty]

Need to get these runs in with no outs.

[fulltritty]

And Cabrera drives in the first Yankee run with a single.

2-1 Royals

[fulltritty]

And Everson singles in another run to tie the game.

2-2
