Nick Johnson is day-to-day

by Travis G on Apr 2, 2010 4:43 PM EDT in Game Threads

Andy Pettitte starts against the Orioles and Alfredo Simon at The M.

First pitch is at 1:05. TV is YES and ESPN.

Postgame notes of a 6-6 tie -

The real news from this game was Nick Johnson fouling a ball off his knee. It's being called a 'bone bruise.' He's listed as day-to-day and expects to play opening night, but Joe G. is less certain.

Pettitte was just okay, throwing 4.2 innings. The bad was seven hits; the good was no runs.

Five of Baltimore's six runs were unearned due to two big Yankee errors.

Austin Romine made a picture-perfect throw to second to nab Joey Gathright trying to steal.

The offensive hero was Swish, who blasted a three-run homer in the first. Winn played for NJ and went 2-5. Tex went 2-3.

DJ went 0-3 and is hitting .231 in the spring. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm a teensy bit worried about him. He just hasn't looked very good.

One more exhibition game. The major league Yankees take on a squad of 'Future Star' Yankees tomorrow in Tampa at 1:05. TV is YES.

I have a blackout question

I’m in Rochester, NY, and we get YES on cable. I also have MLB.TV. I was told that the games would be blacked on out MLB.TV because we get YES, but so far (during spring training) they haven’t been. Will this change once the season starts?

I had MLB.tv last year and will have it this year too. If you’re good with computers, there’s a way to rigged it and trick MLB.tv into seeing that you’re at non-blackout location. I will looking into this.

What the Hell is this?

It’s like it’s from one of those Spanish-to-English translation websites and then duplicated by a drunk 4-year-old.

Quit being so sensitive. I’m typing from my iPhone. It automatically completes words and capitalizes “mlb”. I didn’t care to check grammar this time.

Friday Baseball at Old Folks Stadium

With both Cervelli and Jorge hurting, we might be seeing Romine sooner than later. Jesus will not be called up for an emergency replacement this early. My grand prediction: one of our aging vets is going to wear down a little this year. Laws of nature say it almost has to happen. Hopefully it’s not Jete.

Johnson, Johnson No More Tears...

I just looked at Johnson’s all-time injury list on his player page. WOW, I didn’t even realize it was that bad. Talk about bad luck, too. Most players have one specific injury that nags them throughout their career. With this guy, anything that can go wrong does. Has any player in the history of MLB had this much variety of injuries? Some of it’s just plain bizarre. Talk about jinked. The good part is, sooner or later he’s got to catch a break. (I hope…)

NJ

What a crappy pick-up………………..He has history of injuries……and it will continue. Could be that this is only way he can hang on the the “bigs”……..just waiting for him to overcome his injuries. Let him go on his way……and let somebody who wants to play through injuries…….and produce. NJ WILL NOT be a contributor to this year’s team……just taking up space. Let him go!!!!!
