Yanqui starter James Paxton out 3-4 months after back surgery. Way to wait until February, dum dum.

Edgy MD Feb 25 2020 08:37 PM Re: MF the MFYs, 2020 thread

Luis Severino has apparently severino'd a UCL and will miss the season while spending time in Florida visiting with Tommy John. It apparently is a result of an injury sustained in his last playoff start, but not picked up on until now despite multiple examinations, including two MRIs and a CT scan. I wish missed diagnoses on nobody. But could you imagine if it were Mets doctors who swung and missed three times?

Ceetar Feb 25 2020 09:20 PM Re: MF the MFYs, 2020 thread

it's almost like medical stuff is tough. he'll probably miss almost all, maybe all, of 2021 too. he didn't really play last year either, rotator cuff issues and then strained a lat rushing back, and perhaps he still rushed back.

ashie62 Feb 26 2020 05:15 AM Re: MF the MFYs, 2020 thread

No Severino Paxton or Marquez Loasiga (sic) better be good

Frayed Knot Feb 26 2020 05:54 AM Re: MF the MFYs, 2020 thread

So their rotation at this point is Gerrit Cole, Tanaka, and JA Happ, plus some combination of: - Jordan Montgomery: 27 y/o, LH, 6th in ROY in 2017 but just 30 IP since due to TJS - Luis Cessa*: 28, RH, 4 partial seasons as a Yanqui totaling 86 games/19 starts (none in 2019) 4.50 ERA - Jonathan Loaisiga: 25 y/o, RH, 24 ML games including 8 starts combined in 2018 + 19 - Deivi Garcia: small RHP (5' 9"/165), turns 21 in May, top-100 prospect this winter [24, 65, 92 on various lists], 12 starts at AA, 6 at AAA - Mike King: 24, RH, 2 ML IP late last year, missed much of 2019 w/arm issues And then some combination of James Paxton (if/when he gets back from back surgery), Domingo German (63 more games to go on domestic violence suspension), or the ever popular mystery man/men. * Bonus Quiz: Luis Cessa, originally signed by the Mets, has been traded twice during his career, both times in 2015 and both in deals involving current NY Mets. One is fairly easy, the other not so much.

Buster Olney's guest on the Baseball Tonight podcast said Cole will have a "monster year," will win 20 games and is the prohibitive favorite for the Cy Young Award. Let's see how he reacts to pitching in a bandbox.

I believe a Tigers exec at the time said they had insisted on Cessa because the equipment manager had all these C's, E's, and S's left over in the uniform room that he had purchased for Yoenis and now would never get to use.

Edgy MD May 24 2020 04:02 PM Re: MF the MFYs, 2020 thread

The problem is that the alcohol intake that has damaged your judgment to the point where you're driving with a load on tends to lead a lot of people to be something less than humble and penitent and circumspect when talking to the officer, whether you're Glenn Campbell or Reese Witherspoon or Mel Gibson. You're best advised to confine your comments to yes, sir, and no, mam'n. Most cops, particularly highway patrolmen, are used to folks talking shit at the time, and don't let themselves get provoked. But that shit-talking goes into the report. Also, embarrassingly playing your famous boyfriend's name for legal favors isn't going to help your relationship much.

An earlier story had Trump backing out because players kneeling apparently offends him so. Him and Mike Ditka. And, btw, if Captain von Steingrabber were still alive he wouldn't allow kneeling either. In fact I was thinking earlier today about how George would have reacted to today's MFY/PHI postponement: a) ranted about how this never would have happened if it weren't for anti-Yanqui bias in the MLB office which forced his team into the indignity of starting the season on the road. b) blamed the inferiority of the other clubs (Yanx would have the BEST cleaning services) and especially those NL clubs which his pinstripers shouldn't be lowering themselves to play against anyway c) All of the above

So not only did the Orioles come back in that second game of the DH on Friday, but they took the next two games as well making it three of four in the series to even the season series at 3-3 Of course when combined with last year that still leaves the Yanx 20-5 over the O's since the beginning of '19 but things are turning in the right direction. And now tonight in Buffalo (still seems weird to type that) the Blue Jays were down 6-2 to the Yanx in the 6th until they put up a 10-spot (and still batting) in bottom 6th to take a 12-2 lead. The Jays already passed the Yanx for second place in the AL East over the weekend so are now looking to put some turf between them and the Bronx whatevers. Yanx currently have a tenuous hold on WC slot #2 but aren't headed in the right direction at the moment and are all of two games ahead of those pesky Orioles.
