Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't sell yourself short, Boone, as long as you are manager, this team could certainly continue plumbing the depths of ineptitude. |

If DJ's toe is really this bad, they should have put him on the injured list when the injury first happened. Now they're stuck with an injured hitter that's not producing. |

His two-seamed fastball has some late downward break. Two solid out-pitches, yet it took a hospital ward of injuries for Cashman to give him a chance, preferring to sign guys like Shane Green and Anthony Banda. |

SAD So DAMN SAD!!! Yet they will probably keep the IDIOT TWINS = BOONE/CASH (both should be fired)
Yeah we traded Montgomery and Got Banda = Go firgure because WE cannot...CASH SHOULD BE FIRED FOR THIS STUPID TRADE!!!
The New York Yankees’ decision to trade Jordan Montgomery at the deadline has worked out nicely for Montgomery, and the pitcher rubbed some salt in the wound on Friday.
The Yankees surprised many by trading Montgomery to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for outfielder Harrison Bader. Montgomery has thrived with the Cardinals, while the Yankees have struggled, partly because of the team’s pitching.
On Friday, Montgomery was asked about improvements he’d made since the trade from the Yankees. Montgomery’s response basically acted like the Yankees had never existed.
“What trade? I don’t know what you are talking about,” Montgomery said. “I don’t remember a trade. I’ve turned the page and I’m excited to be here.”
Ouch. Then again, the Yankees had that treatment coming. The deal certainly may have motivated Montgomery to show the Yankees what they lost.
Since joining St. Louis, Montgomery is 5-0 with a 1.47 ERA. Bader, meanwhile, has yet to play for the Yankees, having been sidelined by a foot injury. No wonder Yankees players apparently had a strong reaction to the deal.
BUT WE GOT BANDA:
...Banda, 29, previously pitched for the Pirates and Blue Jays earlier this year, in addition to a brief stint in the minors for the Mariners. He signed with the Yankees on Sunday and made two appearances in pinstripes.
The first one went well enough, as Banda entered the club’s game against Oakland on Sunday with one out and no one on in the fifth. He surrendered a walk sandwiched between two outs to finish the inning. His second appearance came last night and didn’t go nearly as well. With the Yanks down 5-0 to the Rays in the eighth, Banda entered with two men on and faced six batters, walking three of them, hitting another and giving up two singles.
That leaves with a 40.50 ERA through two thirds of an inning as a Yankee, though a 6.75 ERA on the season overall.
Despite that unfortunate ERA, he does have a career-high 22.2% strikeout rate on the year. The Yankees will place him on outright waivers or release waivers in the coming days, though Banda would have the right to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency, by virtue of having been previously outrighted in his career.
