I think dusty changed his mind and said Wednesday
Looks like you're right.



No Pena-deGrom rematch.

JV goes Wednesday.
Urquidy goes Thursday

Sounds like DeGrom made a request behind closed doors to not have to face Pena again and the Astros obliged.

If that happens and the Yankees had something similar to us then I want the same energy from the media and fans. I want them fined and lose draft picks. Manfred would need to be removed immediately for the cover-up.
I'll step out on a limb and say it was different but the same level, nothing will happen and Rob keeps his job. In addition fans everywhere including Yankees fans will yell at Altuve again all season calling him a cheater.
Yea, I'm not getting my hopes up. Regardless of what it says, there will be a huge PR push from LA/NY media/fans to assert that it's not as bad as what the Astros did. They need the Astros as a scapegoat for the shortcomings of their organizations.


The yankees have had over a year to prepare for this moment and lessen it's blow. The powerful NY media will flush it as much as possible and point the finger at the astros. This was always about everyone was doing it and blaming the astros was the easiest path

boo....effin...hoo. But everybody in MLB was completely content with letting 'orange team bad' get all the reprimanding and public outcry. Hell, look at any social media post from the Astros. Not as bad as it was, but its constantly ridiculed even with so very few players left from 2017.

Hope Yankees get the same treatment. And hope Astros players return some words to fellow baseball players that made plenty of statements after it all went down in 2019. Specifically Aaron Judge.

Haven't seen a Correa in Minnesota press conference yet - I want to see him pretend to be excited.

On the radio in Dallas this morning they were only upset with Manfred. They said the sign stealing wasn't as bad as the Astros so not as big a deal. Only problem was Manfred. I have zero faith that the Yankees will suffer at all from this.

I mean the real disappointment is going to come from how much could a single letter really contain...? Its not like the letter is going to lay out a full investigation of what they did, when and how. And they sure as heck arent going back to investigate it and even if they did no one would talk.

My hope is Crane sews MLB for avoiding the Yankees and targeting the Astros

It's also strange we haven't seen the typical "thank you Houston" social media post.

Sue Manfred, since it was his decision. Get his butt out.

The more I think about it the more I think the letter is going to be a nothing burger. It'll probably make Manfred look like the piece of lying crap that he is, but I doubt it'll give any major details on what NY was doing.

Also keep in mind that the court will allow them to redact names for privacy reasons. I fully expect them to abuse that redaction power and try to eliminate relevant information too.

Oof

I am going to go back and look at #s from 2017-2019 and then 2020-2021. Let's see who had the biggest sudden drops for "no real season".

redaction also places the shadow of suspicion on all the Yankees, not just the guilty. Tarnishes everyone....which I'm ok with.

So with CC gone, we're down to LMJ, Altuve, Bregman, and Yuli as the only guys left who were on the opening day roster in 2017?

Others have said so, but with Correa gone, the most important player on this team right now is Bregman. If he can't regain his offensive form of 18/19, this offense is not going to be great.

Sigh, it's real.



Are the Twins aware they are combining the best defensive shortstop since Omar Vizquel in Correa with the worst defensive catcher on Planet Earth in Gary Sanchez? Think how many steps Correa will save a season not having to cover second on stolen bases since Sanchez can't throw accurately beyond 23 feet.
