Good morning Yankees family and welcome back to the blog. Trust
me, Yankees family, it pains me to even type out this sentence… but Jared
Carrabis was right. If you don’t know who Jared Carrabis is, he is the writer
for Barstool Sports that covers the Boston Red Sox. He is a douche bag that
loves to rile up Yankees fans for exposure, for clicks, and for fun. The worst
part is, it works in most cases. Not with me, but that is for another blog post
and another day. One post he made recently actually made a little sense to me,
and it was a post calling out the Yankees fans who blamed injuries for their
struggles this season and used it as an excuse as to why the Red Sox were
winning the division and not the Yankees.
Here is his tweet that I am transcribing, because why give
him THAT much notoriety by embedding it?
The Red Sox (27) have had more DL stints than the Yankees
(23) this season, resulting in 1,185 games missed by 19 players on the Red Sox
to just 20 players and 1,088 days missed for the Yankees. The Red Sox lead the
Yankees by 11.5 games (at the time of this tweet).
Now I did not stat check this by any means, but I checked
the comments section and no one else exposed it for being untrue. And you know
Yankees fans, if he were off by a half a game SOMEONE would have called him out
for it. So, in closing, no more blaming injuries for a lackluster second half
and bad coaching decisions. It is what it is, just keep rooting until the
schedule tells us not to or go root for the Mets. Either way is fine with me.
And a special good morning to you, my Kari. I love you with
all of my heart. I always have, and I always will. 100 kisses for you this
morning.
Different comparison , they never lost three top players out at one time this year slugging wise.
ReplyDeleteMontgomery equals all the pitching ailments they had plus we have had Tanaka and CC also to match the Sale and others.
Like I said Boston has not lost three top sluggers at once.
If we get everyone back and I believe that Bird needs to play I still think he is the 1st.base we need , he walks and will hit doubles as well as homers.
