4/8 at Yanks - Opening Day

[moonslav59]

man on first is meaningless as a run scorer.

 

Now, there is a force at home.

 

and maybe a DP opportunity with Higgy up.

[moonslav59]

Now the pressure is on this guy to throw strikes. Lousy job by diekman.

 

Should we call him Geekman, Meekman, Pokemon or Tweekman?

[Tedballgame]

JD's DP is looming large now.

[d-money]

Can’t get the out. Shocking .

[d-money]

Throw a damn strike.

[jacksonianmarch]

Can any Yankee get a clutch hit? Seriously

[d-money]

Need to have a scoring outburst in this 11th inning

[bkzwhitestrican]

Can any Yankee get a clutch hit? Seriously

 

DJ, Torres, Judge, Rizzo, Stanton so far today.

[d-money]

Awful game. This baby is about to be over.

[d-money]

Story with an awful debut!!!

[moonslav59]

Oh, well.

 

The day started out nicely.

[d-money]

Pitiful game. Get them tomorrow.

[a700hitter]

What is the under/over date on Diekman getting DFA’d?

[jacksonianmarch]

What a game!

[bkzwhitestrican]

Another 4 hour Yankees/Red Sox game. Time to nap. Catch y'all tomorrow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tough loss. I'm pretty sure there will be more as the season progresses. I doubt Whitlock will be available tomorrow, but Kutter, no doubt, will be.

[jacksonianmarch]

Biggest question is how bad is Bogaerts hurt

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The BRUINS are playing at Tampa tonight, so this could really turn into a damn s***** day.

[Old Red]

Story with an awful debut!!!

 

Looked like a guy who only had 6 AB in ST.

[Old Red]

No faith in Barnes, I guess.

 

Cora said Barnes was unavailable today with a tight back.

[Elktonnick]

What is the under/over date on Diekman getting DFA’d?

Saw him in ST. He would not have been my choice to make this team.

[Maxbialystock]

Hitting's OK. Can't say the same for the pitching--no surprise there.

[moonslav59]

Saw him in ST. He would not have been my choice to make this team.

 

When we signed him, I was wondering why this guy got the 2 year deal- something quite rare with Bloom.

[Thunder]

Today was fun. Nobody can try to convince me otherwise

[jacksonianmarch]

Opening day 11 innings is pretty awesome

[a700hitter]

When we signed him, I was wondering why this guy got the 2 year deal- something quite rare with Bloom.

Diekman got a 2 year deal? I didn't know that. What am I missing about him other than his contraxt news?

[Bellhorn04]

When we signed him, I was wondering why this guy got the 2 year deal- something quite rare with Bloom.

 

Because it's 2 years @ $4 million, would be my guess.

[moonslav59]

Diekman got a 2 year deal? I didn't know that. What am I missing about him other than his contraxt news?

 

I was baffled on day one. There is nothing spectacular about him or even really anything clearly positive about his career, except a decent year here and there- mostly long ago.

[moonslav59]

Because it's 2 years @ $4 million, would be my guess.

 

That's more than Sawamura and others. It's a better deal than Hill got. It's total more money than Wacha.

 

Until the Story deal, it was the biggest 2 year deal after Kike.

[a700hitter]

I was baffled on day one. There is nothing spectacular about him or even really anything clearly positive about his career, except a decent year here and there- mostly long ago.

in his short tenure, Bloom has made some baffling moves — Diekman (2yrs), Barnes (2 yr extension mid season), Ottavino (5 ERA $8 million). And then there was Danny Santana and Marwin.
