OT: Yankees Rest

UCDaveD said:
I know, right? These idiot teams with their quack doctors and training staffs should all be canned. They clearly know nothing regarding the health of the guys that they’re paying millions of dollars to. They should just listen to a message board poster named @CTBasketball and all of their problems would be solved.

Starting pitchers used to all finish their own games too. What idiot decided that was no longer a good idea? Let’s tackle that problem next.

I remember when Kemba took a rest day in game 4 of the Big East Tournament. O wait

They use to finish complete games regularly in like 1930. Pick a better comparison.

If you know a guy is soft and is injury prone, don’t pay him as much. You’re literally wasting money by sitting him. The NBA doesn’t try as it is, so taking days off there is a joke. Baseball days off are even more of a joke, especially in this case if Stanton is being sat after DHing.

Kyrie plays 30 minutes and then demands a week off because he wants to go on a flat earth mission lmfao. Idk how anyone can take the NBA seriously anymore. Bunch of divas

It’s actually a great comparison, but I wouldn’t expect someone as dim as you to understand it.

Stanton has already been paid, what do you want them to do, go back in time and not give him the contract? Too late. Maybe they’re trying to figure out a way to keep him on the field. Novel idea, I know. Sorry he’s not “man” enough for a big tough guy like you. I think ESPN classic is showing Gibson’s WS home run tonight in case you need something macho to beat off to.
 
Jeter separated his shoulder and was back within a month. Imagine if that happened to Stanton. Rumor has it Jeter played with a torn ligament in this thumb that year. Had to fracture his ankle at 38 to be taken off the field.

Explain how that’s even remotely relevant. Because a 20 year old played 5 games in 5 days, an injury prone baseball player should always be in the lineup. What a weird comment.

Keep him on the field? He doesn’t even see the field. He gets 3 ABs four times a week.

It's completely relevant. One is resting after swinging a bat 4 times while making $30M a year and the other played 5 games in 5 days and likely would have played 20 games in 20 days if his team needed him to.
 
I understand managing pitchers and playing time for the long run but you can’t have a 31 year old Dan Hurley in an early season rubber game against a division opponent. When you have choked in the playoffs you don’t get the benefit of the doubt btw.

So what’s the alternative given he’s already been paid? Try and get what you can out of him or run him out there every day in early April so he can miss another 4 months?

Was Kemba as injury prone as Stanton? I can’t remember.

Find someone to eat his contract and trade him.

But they do have a 31 year old Dan Hurley who misses large swaths of seasons basically every year. So either get rid of him, or do what you can to make the best of it.

Injury prone or not, if you are healthy now, you play. He’s going to get hurt one way or another, at least get your damn moneys worth

Yup, forget even trying to keep him healthy because it probably won’t work anyways so might as well run him out there on April 4th because you’re paying him anyways. Shocking that you haven’t been recruited for a front office gig.

I think he will miss months anyway....have him in the lineup when you can. At least don't sit him after he played two games in three days to start the season.

The same front office that sat Stanton also insists on batting career .235 hitter Aaron Hicks 3rd LMAO. And don’t give me that BS about OBP. Walks dont drive in guys from 2nd base. Hits do.

You have it figured out, man. Next Theo Epstein right here on the boneyard.

LMAO yeah, tons of suitors willing to do that. This isn’t a video game.

So you don’t want to trade him, don’t want to play him because of injury risk, so what is he doing? You like him as bench candy?

Who says I don’t want to trade him? I said no one is dumb enough to take on his contract. The training staff obviously has some sort of schedule worked out for him. Might work, might not, but I’m damn sure that they’re way more qualified to make that call than you are.

I’m glad you’re happy with the Yankees crapping out in the ALDS every single year

Yup, that’s exactly what I said. If only they listened to you and played Stanton today, they’d be celebrating #28 this fall.

Red Sox are the worst team in all of baseball. Who cares about the Yankees.
the Mets championship run begins tomorrow night.

If he's taking rest days down the stretch of a tight pennant race or in the actual playoffs, maybe there's a way this analogy makes sense.

But, of course, an April day in baseball where they play 162 games is nothing like a single elimination tournament in March. Come on.
 
Yeah Stanton had 9 plate appearances over the last 4 days. Three of those PAs consisted of him walking to the plate then walking back to the dugout after a K. So, 6 plate appearances where he had to do something other than walk back and forth. Definitely a bridge too far for him and fans expectations are through the roof for anything more than that.

Every year the division race and homefield advantage comes down to 1 or 2 games. A loss in April is the same as a loss in September. Treating every game like a must win is how you win a championship
