C-Mac has long supported the Yankee organization and the front office, and with good reason, as the Bombers have been a consistent playoff team that has reached the ALCS three times since 2017.
But in light of recent events, culminating in Anthony Rizzo’s seemingly long overdue trip to the IL, C-Mac finds it hard to defend them any longer.
“If you honestly stop and think about what the hell has gone on with the New York Yankees over the last week, or even the whole season…the levels of incompetence that this organization has shown is staggering,” C-Mac said. “Whether it’s the [Domingo] German situation, where his armpit hurts…then he can’t see the doctor until 5:00. God knows why the New York Yankees can’t get a player to see a doctor until 5:00. [Luis] Severino continuing to get starts, now he’s lined up to pitch again, and now this Anthony Rizzo situation is mind-numbingly stupid.”
Between the bizarre handling of German’s skipped start (only for him to be the first pitcher out of the bullpen that same day), and Rizzo playing for two months as the worst qualified hitter in baseball before being placed on the IL with concussion symptoms, C-Mac says the Yankees are currently operating as an organization that doesn’t know what it’s doing.
“I’m willing to give the organization the benefit of the doubt in most situations that other fans are not…as a Yankee fan, I never felt it was a bad fortune to be a Yankee fan,” C-Mac said. “I’ve never felt that for a day, so I give them the benefit of the doubt a lot. But today, I had a little but of a feeling like that, because it’s starting to mount. Whether it’s the incompetence of doing nothing at the deadline, looking like you’re incompetent and foolish and can’t come up with a plan for what you’re doing, the German situation, the terrible losses…the 18 strikeouts and the comment from the manager about the 18 strikeouts, and leading into today, they put Rizzo on the IL with a brain injury that occurred two months ago! All they told us for the last two months what that he was fine, and that he’s in as good a spot health wise as he’s been his entire Yankee tenure.”
