Very convenient for the Yankees that Donaldson and his .142 average pulled a calf during a jog to first base and the injury is severe enough to land him on the 60-day IL.

Astros? Are you listening???

Any of yall see Bryce Harper’s AB from yesterday?

What a weird at bat. Where’s Jonathan Papelbon when you need him?

How many Astros do you want to pull muscles?

Just one. Montero.

This comment should be beneath you. I am beyond surprised.

I am not sure I understand. Of course, I am still learning here so maybe I’ve crossed some taboo line that I am not aware of. I thought it was longstanding but somewhat shady backroom practice by most or all teams to manufacture a malady for a struggling vet that is out of options so they can go down and “work on things”. Is that not right? That’s what I thought @Lefty and I were talking about. I assumed it would go without saying that I would not want Montero to actually get hurt. That would be gross.

Yes, I get that now. I read the earlier post about Donaldson, but I did not tie Lefty’s post to it. My bad.

I think that’s called a CarGo. Named for that time Carlos Gomez hurt that thing and had to go to Corpus Christi to rehab the thing that got hurt. I don’t think it worked it his case.

Age restricted. I guess I am too young.

It’s because he’s the younger sibling and our folks didn’t love him.

I have to say, this Yankees@Mets game causes a lot of confusing emotions.
