That call was so bad Lynn started eating his giove.

Someone should remind the umps that the Yankees aren't playing in this game.

Engel is built like an absolute unit.

They signed Tapia to teach Moreno how to hit.

Smashing his way to a .375 SLG.

I didn't say the front office lied to raise Pearson's trade value; I have no idea why they would lie. I just know that nothing that management has told us about Pearson makes any sense to a logical person. Just putting together the timeline from simple google searches, Pearson left the team on March 31. On April 5, it was reported that Charlie said "Tuesday that Pearson (illness) has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and will be out "a while," Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports." Already this doesn't make any sense. There's no way you can predict that someone will be out long-term when they have mono. On April 8, "Pearson (illness) is "feeling much better" according to Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins and could resume baseball activities within days." This part immediately contradicts what Montoyo said. April 9, "Nate Pearson resumed throwing today, he's basically starting spring training all over again from scratch, per #BlueJays manager Charlie Montoyo." This also makes no sense. Pearson was out for about a week and they make it sound like he's coming back from Tommy John or something. After this Pearson goes on a slow throwing progression working out to about once per week for the next two months. I won't repeat every single update. But once again, this doesn't make any sense. Even if you're building up "from scratch", you don't go on this type of throwing program after being inactive for a week with an illness. When pitchers report to spring training without touching a baseball for 5 months, they still throw more than once a week. And then finally getting pulled after 3 pitches on this ridiculous schedule is just the icing on the cake. Again, I have no idea why anyone would lie about this stuff. Maybe Pearson hurt his arm doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing, I really don't know. But if you want to believe what the front office has been feeding you, that's your decision.

I'm honestly starting to wonder if the front office lied about his 3 month recovery from mono. I think there's something much more serious going on with his arm that they don't want people to know.

You've got it backwards. They're not playing Tapia because guys have to DH. They're DHing guys so that Tapia gets more PAs. That's why the guys that are actually hurt (Bichette, Chapman) don't ever DH because Tapia can't cover those positions. They're playing Zobrist-ball with Tapia, except he sucks.

You can tell Schullman wants the umps dead too.

Great effort by Manoah. 1 ER in 5+ innings is nothing to be ashamed of.

Amazing effort by Tapia.

These are the games and moments that separate the winners from the losers.

Umps aside, it's still early enough to make it a fight.

This is so bad you wonder if Manoah has a history as a cocky rookie pitcher and the umps are trying to bring him down a notch.

About 1500 career PAs including his performance this year?

I know Manoah is a little weird but he needs to suck it up and use pitchcomm.

Unless that's his true talent level, Tapia needs to go. His ceiling is Ezekiel Carrera and his floor is the worst outfielder in baseball.

Guy pitched his heart out. Give the guy a business class ticket when they send him down at least.

Probably see Max Castillo with the big club tomorrow. Ryu to the 60-day maybe.

Moreno is f***in' fast. Not for a catcher, just in general.

Push Lawrence as far as he can. Don't give them an extra look at our leverage guys.

On a more serious note, the Yankees are absolutely sitting on our breaking balls. Somebody needs to confiscate Aaron Boone's apple watch.

The Rocket would've brought that grand slam back.

If Charlie started Tapia we'd be winning 7-6 right now.

That Stanton HR was insane.
