No, he blew his arm out practicing. 🤣🤣

Adam Hamari from the U.P. (Marquette) will be on the umpiring crew for the Yankee series.

# 78.

[Dave Christian]

I just got word from Hamari that he'll be on third base tonight.

Hopefully, all the check swing calls go our way...lol

Winner, winner, kielbasa dinner.

[Dtrain72]

My bunyan isnt feeling good about this game.

[buddha]

lol.  wtf was that?

[chasfh]

So when do we start seeing this great defense we’re paying Tucker Barnhart to provide? 🤬

[Archie]

That error was charged to Alexander but I think it should be on Barnhart. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

well, that was some shit.

[Dtrain72]

Excited to see the bullpen after only the 1st inning isnt even done...this team has a very dumpster fire-ey beginning of season vibe going on.

[Hart]

Hard to tell when you can't hear anything but I also would put that on Barnhart.  But then Alexander also needs to get the F out of the area so Barnhart does not get thrown off by it.  Ideally, the first or third baseman calls both of them off.  

[Hart]

I guess when you got Castro and Baddoo backing you up, you tend to nibble.

ya why defer to the pitcher ? Or was he waiting for Torkelson to call him off ?

[kdog]

Smart to pull Alexander at 42 pitches. Make this a bullpen day and you can use him as early as Saturday(Manning's spot).

Unless of course he is injured.

[mtutiger]

Hope the bullpen enjoy their two days off...

[lordstanley]

Crazier and crazier. 

[chasfh]

Another pitcher to the IL, it looks like. Rony Garcia, we hardly knew ye …

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

hoo boy

[chasfh]

Interesting how Gerrit Cole warmed up a bit in front of the Yankees dugout. In Japan, when a team is batting and has two outs, their pitcher warms up in front of their dugout so that he won’t have to throw so many warmup pitches when he gets to the mound.

Good God, what a clusterf...

Gibson is really getting annoying with his way over excuses. And he's one of my all time favorites. Just can the syrup please. It's a pop up for gosh sakes. Just say he blew it. Two pop ups ! Yes mistakes happen but stop sugar coating it. I doubt the players would.
