And the Injuries Keep Coming

August 22, 2018

I haven’t posted in a while — under the weather combined with summer doldrums — but I was heartened by the sweep of Toronto and last night’s extra-inning win over the Marlins.

What I’m troubled by is the multitude of injuries the Yankees are sustaining. I know it’s the time of year when players get banged up, but now Chapman’s knee pain was bad enough for him to take himself out of the game and seek an MRI; Robertson’s shoulder is aching; Didi hurt his foot on a weird play; Judge is no closer to testing his fractured wrist by swinging a bat; and Sanchez is still out. CC is said to be returning soon, but I’m sure there are other casualties I’m forgetting. How this team can limp through to the end of the season like this beats me. I just want everybody healthy so we can chalk up wins against teams like the Marlins, let alone our division rivals.

These are trying times for Boone and the organization. I hope they can weather them.

    This is just terrible rotten luck with all of the injuries, Jane. As you said, we just need to bide time until the end of September and hopefully everyone can get healthy and get ready for the playoff run. Until then, just win enough games to comfortably stay in the first wildcard spot. Boston lost last night so maybe the division race isn’t completely lost just yet even if it is still a long shot.

    It’s rotten luck all right, Leo. The heart of the order plus our pitchers. Oh my. The rosters will expand next month and we’ll have reinforcements coming, but as you say, it would be great if we could just stay in contention.

    Yeah, let’s hope they can hold it together. Saw replays of Chapman last nite and it didn’t look too good…but hasn’t his pitching been kinda wacky lately anyway? Good thing you have some depth, and the Sawx are suddenly almost mortal. The less I say about the miserable locals in my end of the swamp, the better; so just beat the Marlins (which these DC bums can’t do), and hang in there!
