Arizona 2 NYY 2 in the 4th

Random question.... which would be your preferred option of these five choices for 2024:

-Stroman and no Hendricks for $22.5m

-Stroman and Hendricks for $38m

-Hendricks and no Stroman for $16m

-Neither for $1.5m (Hendricks buyout)

-Stroman for $21m and Cubs opt-out on Hendricks with a 50% chance of signing him back for $8-11m

-Stroman and no Hendricks for $22.5m

Stroman and Cubs opt out of Hendricks but maybe he comes back for cheaper. 

[UMFan83]

Arizona takes a 3-2 lead in the 7th.  This would be a huge boost if the Yankees could come back.  You have to assume Arizona takes 3 from the White Sox, if they don't great but its likely.

I think that's my choice.  I'm willing to risk him potentially leaving but I don't think he wants to.  I have nothing but great things to say about Kyle and his time here and think he would be very useful next season but we can risk losing him and have many holes to fill so every dollar counts even if the Cubs do go into the tax.

Help me out. Why would Hendricks resign with the Cubs after they cost him $16 million dollars?

I would tell them to horsefeathers all the way off.

If he likes being in Chicago and they offer him the best or close to the best deal?

Because he agreed to an opt out when he signed the contract and this was always a possibility, though to be fair, it would have been a mutual opt out had Kyle finished 3rd in the 2020 Cy Young voting but I think he finished 8th.

It's all about how much Kyle wants to be here and how much he thinks he can get in the open market.  It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened in sports...it's just business, I highly doubt Kyle would take it personally.  He was never guaranteed that money.

Yankees tie it, but Judge robbed of a 2 run homers.

3-3 in the 8th.

I saw they tied it but didnt hear Judge was robbed of a homer, thats just painful to hear.

Also Marte is up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out so it proably wont be tied for long.

DBacks get the 2nd out but then given up a single.  DBacks up 4-3.  horsefeathers hate Corbin Carroll so much

Looked like it was a foot or two short of the wall.

Lol. After they walked the 8 hitter my first thought was “dammit unless they get a DP, Carroll is going to bat”.

[UMFan83]

Yankees have 2 on and 0 outs for Volpe.  Come on dude hit one over the fence.

Edit: Bases loaded 0 outs!  Hopefully they don't Cub up the situation

Bases loaded no out for the Yankees in the 8th.

The Dbacks were supposed to play in Chicago against the White Sox tonight, but they postponed it due to the makeup game today.

It would have been hilarious, however, to have the Dbacks play at noon in NY, fly to Chicago, then play at 7pm.

First batter strikes out after swinging at ball 3 and ball 4 in the dirt.  Mother horsefeathers

I get the impression that whoever is left on the Yankees is not that good.

Next batter walks, tie game!  Still 1 out

This Yankees lineup has a total of 2 hitters on it. If I'm the 3b coach, everyone else has a "take until 2 strikes" call on while this pitcher is on the mound.

[UMFan83]

Who is the Yankees closer even?

Edited September 25, 2023 by UMFan83

[mul21]

Yanks up 5-4 and still hitting.  2 outs.

[soccer10k]

These guys keep swinging in hitters counts even though the guy isn’t throwing strikes.

At least they took the lead.

[bukie]

Sac fly to take the lead, now 2 outs. Plus, the Yankees offense should be coming up soon!

Seriously, not sure if it was the wind or the wetness but that dude couldn't throw a strike consistently.
