We’ve got a short DotF tonight because of the weather, so let’s get some reminders out of the way:
- First, make sure you vote in this week’s Fan Confidence Poll if you haven’t already.
- Second, but far more importantly, please consider pledging for the 2009 RAB Pledge Drive benefiting Joe Torre’s Safe At Home Foundation if you haven’t already. We’ve received twenty pledges so far, totaling $1.19 for every run the Yanks score. Just thirteen games into the season we’ve already raised $83.30 and are on pace for over $1,000 in donations. It’s for a great cause, so please consider pledging.
The Yanks brought back old pal Justin Pope and placed him on the 7-day DL so he can go down and get some innings in Extended spring Spring. I can only assume he’ll go back to closing for Double-A Trenton like he has so many times before. Now back to your regularly scheduled DotFing.
Triple-A Scranton was washed out; the game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on June 29th. The good news is that Austin Jackson was in the lineup according to Chad Jennings. Jackson was hit by a pitch on the elbow and missed the last four days with a bone bruise.Kevin Russo wasn’t so lucky though, a bum hammy landed him on the DL.
Double-A Trenton was also rained out. Mike Ashmore says they’ll make this one up as part of May 16th double dip.
High-A Tampa had a scheduled off day.
Low-A Charleston (3-1 loss to Savannah)
