Manoah getting destroyed again tonight in the first, maybe time to send him down and let him try to figure it out

I'm thinking they need to do something. On the other hand, I am enjoying the meltdown. 

While he was getting lit up like a Christmas tree, my son was pitching the final three innings of a come-from-behind-victory. Ws all around for this Yankee fan yesterday! 

They've optioned Manoah to Dunedin to get right. 

Good...that's the right move. He has to get **** figured out, and it's likely between his ears.

He is really young and strong.  I am confident that he will be back as good as ever.  Eventually.

I heard Ryan Dempster make a good point with the major increase in innings last year he might have some arm fatigue that is causing some slight changes to his delivery. said the same thing happened to him one year where he 2as statistically worse pitcher in the league. Got a couple weeks to rest and was really good the rest of the year.

If Manoah has a dead arm sending him to the minors won't help, but if it's between the ears they can help him get back on track and back to the show but nothing is a given in pro sports.

Not really going to minor leagues going down to development centre where the developmental league for rookies is based. 

Injury woes continue for the Yanks

The Yankees have been scuttling since the Judge injury, but tonight Domingo German who's last 2 starts were pitiful pitches a perfect game

Fake news. No starting pitcher stays in for 9 innings anymore.

What a great performance. Those last three outs seemed to take forever. 

How far must a ball travel to be a home run? Depends on the MLB stadium.

Cool article.  Gifting it to whoever is interested.

One of my absolute favourite follows on Twitter was, Would It Dong? 

It's broken now with the changes to that app.

I guess Bo might be out for awhile.

Toronto Blue Jays receive:  SS Paul DeJong and cash considerations 
St. Louis Cardinals receive: RHP Matt Svanson
Quick Notes: With shortstop Bo Bichette injured, the Blue Jays grab a replacement in DeJong. DeJong ranks in the 97th percentile for outs above average. The 29-year-old has 13 homers and 32 RBI while hitting .233/.297/.412 for a Cardinals team that has played below expectations this year. Svanson, 24, has a 1.11 ERA in 32.1 innings of Class A ball this season. 

he's no Bichette replacement, but it's something. Really hoping The Flow isn't out that long...

DeJong will cover his short absence but replace Biggio/Espinal who have both been terrible. 

Cavan has not turned out like anyone had hoped, that's for sure... shame, that.

He was my boy's favourite and saw his first HR live (with his father, HOF Craig Biggio, in attendance). 

He's the only one of the legacies to not pan out so far, which is a shame, but "they can't all be winners"...

also...

good news....

Bichette's parents were obviously Star Wars big fans.

What a pitching duel last night!  Kikuchi more than makes up for Manoah's struggles.

 

 

now if only they could hit with RISP.........
