Add Another Name! The Yankee Pitching Problems Are Piling Up!
Okay seriously are we cursed? There must be some bad juju in that clubhouse. Did a black cat cross Aaron Boone‘s path? Did Brian Cashman walk underneath a ladder or open an umbrella indoors? The Yankees have ANOTHER pitcher who may be out. The spring from hell continues….
Yesterday Mark Leiter Jr. joined the list of potentially injured pitchers, and now we get to add Clarke Schmidt and hold our breath, read more HERE. Schmidt is dealing with a sore shoulder and will not start against the Blue Jays today, instead he will throw a bullpen session. Now we just wait and hold our breath that this isn’t a big deal….and I hate waiting and hoping. The Yankees say no tests ae scheduled, but that doesn’t make me feel better.
We talk about this every season. The Yankees medical, strength and conditioning staff are sub par. Every year, our anchors on the roster are hurt and they get them conditioned and then keep them healthy. It’s a real problem….and it’s one they need to deal with by tearing it all down to the studs and rebuilding it. If the Yankees had better personnel in this arena maybe Giancarlo Stanton wouldn’t still be dealing with two bad elbows even after it was a known issue last season. Oh, and maybe Aaron Judge wouldn’t have played with a broken rib and a partially collapsed lung back in 2020. How on earth was that missed? It’s insane. But no….the medical staff as a whole isn’t a problem…. it’s just a bunch of weird and random problems, right? Gimme a break.

We need better drug testing. The PEDS cause injuries that we never used to see.
