Clingan at Yankee Stadium today

[HooperScooper]

Clingan is one of the only people who could make Judge look small.

I don't remember seeing anything before today that Clingan was going to be at Yankee Stadium.

Yankees' Aaron Judge dwarfed by Donovan Clingan in pre-NBA Draft meetup

The Yankees' Aaron Judge got up close and personal with UConn big man Donovan Clingan on Saturday and it was interesting.

Donovan Clingan ‘not surprised’ Dan Hurley didn’t bolt UConn for Lakers’ $70 million offer

Donovan Clingan said he wasn’t shocked that his old coach, Dan Hurley, turned down the Lakers to return to Storrs.

DC not the only Connecticut native at the Stadium.

First time Donavon has disappointed me. Wearing a shirt from the dark side?

He looked good in pinstripes for sure.

A hard disagree from me!!!

I cringe a little when I see Yankee jerseys with a name on the back. But I’ll make an exception in this case.

 

[Leebo]

Good choice, Donovan.

DC must be a good-luck charm... the Yanks finally looked competent again yesterday! They'd been getting shelled lately.

Considering where they are in the season, complaining about the Yankees overall performance to date would be similar to someone complainiing about this past season's UConn men's basketball team after losing in Creighton.

They hit a bump in the road for a week. Two starting pitchers are on the DL (I know, they call it iL these days), a couple position players got banged up yet they still have the most wins, best overall W/L percentage, best starter's ERA and second best run differntial in MLB.

Alex might have been the Red Sox good luck charm thank God

The loss to DePaul would be more so equivalent to the Yankees losing a series in mid September when your 5 games ahead of the Orioles.

I'll give him a break. This time. He is a Yankees fan.

From last year's visit to Fenway Park when he and Newton threw out the first pitch:

“I'm a Yankees fan, personally,” Clingan said. “So it's a little ... This is still a good opportunity. I love it.”

Yankee fan here. He should have worn a Darth Vadar costume when he was at Fenway.

All true, but the Yanks haven't been playing that well against the top teams lately- Baltimore (both series this year), the Dodgers, Atlanta on Friday, and of course the Boston series. And a few of the recent losses were complete blowouts (17-5 to Baltimore? Yeesh), in which they struggled terribly against aggressive baserunning, to the point of absurdity (the Red Sox setting a franchise base-stealing record). In fact, the 7-6 Baltimore loss was directly attributable to a wild throw trying to catch a runner stealing third (who would have been out with an accurate throw). I think it was reasonable to worry about them sliding into a slump comparable to what happened two years ago after the All-Star break.

I'm listening to the pregame show right now, and Suzyn Waldman is saying that the team was concerned about their recent play, and was "breathing a sigh of relief" after yesterday's win. So it's not just me being myopic.

Creighton not DePaul lol.

Nah, at least he roots for a team that's trying to win.

 

[TheHorde]

The Red Sox players are trying to win now even if the owner is playing for 2025 and beyond.

It depends on which side of the river you look at it from.

 

[FearThePups]

Did he throw out a first pitch? I’d like to see that.

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly love Donovan Clingan any better. I was wrong!

Attaboy Donovan, as if your stock could get any higher...and he's a Yankees fan(or at least wearing the stripes)
