$153 million Ellsbury NOT in lineup 4 must win playoff game

Post by SnoBrdr »

NEW YORK (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury has been left out of the New York Yankees lineup for their AL wild-card game against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.

Manager Joe Girardi kept his struggling left-handed swinging center fielder on the bench with lefty Dallas Keuchel starting for Houston. Brett Gardner takes Ellsbury spot in center field and atop the batting order.

Chris Young, who is 6 for 20 (.300) against the AL Cy Young Award candidate, is batting second and playing left field.

Ellsbury has slumped to a .220 average with five homers and 23 RBIs since the All-Star break. Gardner has been worse. He’s hitting .206 over that span.

Maybe if the Yanks had a player like Mookie Betts ................... who at 22 years of age was paid just over $500,000.00 batted .291 18 Hrs. 77 rbi's , steals bases and makes Wiliie Mays like catches in the Outfield.......................

I heard they're going out again today and Ellsbury asked him if he can carry his clubs but Betts told him " No thanks you can't even carry my jock " !

Carrying it or sniffing it? I have feeling that he does both.

That's what helps him continue to hold the troll #2 position.

Can't take it away from him, it's probably the only reason he has to get out of his crawl space in the morning.

Trolls live under bridges, not in crawl spaces. Ex cops who get disgraced and fired for too many excessive force violations, they live in crawl spaces.

Also, let me know when you learn to count to 3. Wasn't basic math on the exam? How'd you pass that anyway?

Troll # 1 out!!
