“I’m not going down.”
–Luke Voit
Um… no… you do what we tell you to do.
That’s what the Yankee organization wanted to tell Luke Voit, but they’re alittle classier than that. Listen, we all know what
Luke Voit is pissed. It makes sense. The dude works hard and delivers on occasion. But this year he just kept getting hurt. And on that third time on the IL, the Yankees had a situation where they needed to make a move for a healthy first baseman. It just so happened that that first baseman they got was a healthy stud.
Anthony Rizzo literally fell in their lap. And so, they went for it and did a “
We’ll figure it out when he gets here.”It was right about that time that Voit was ready to return. And so, he did… pissed… annoyed… frustrated. Whatever you want to call it. And the chip on his shoulder was obvious. Again… can’t blame him. But when it comes to a contract and a MLB organziation… you work for them. And Voit can bitch and moan about not wanting to go down to the minors to make room for Anthoy Rizzo all he wants, and maybe he won’t. But if the Yankees want to send him down… they will and he’ll go.
“But since then, Rizzo landed on the COVID-19 injured list and Voit came back raking, which he feels has earned himself a starting spot.
“I finally feel like I’m hitting my stride after getting a week’s worth of games under me,’’ said Voit following his big role in the Yankees’ doubleheader sweep of the Red Sox on Tuesday. “I’ve been a great player for this organization for the last three years. I’m not going down. I want to play, and I deserve to play just as much as [Rizzo] does. … I hope [Boone] can find me some consistent at-bats.”
Message to Luke… you don’t tell that to the press… you tell that to your employer. If I’m Cashman, I’m asking the Railriders to fit Voit for a uniform right now.
But here’s the thing, these guys can all get together and play together well. We’ve seen it. They have turned it around and geniunely all like each other.
But, let’s face it… it wasn’t awkard until Luke made it awkward. Rizzo didn’t do anything wrong. And
Boone tried to be good to Voit. He led off last night… LED OFF THE GAME.
He’s not a lead off hitter! He’s a meathead who keeps running around suggesting he’s a stud because he was the home run leader in a 60 game season in 2020… no one cares. We appreicate you dude… but that season barely counted.
Look Luke, we know you are solid, but baseball is a business. It sucks but the best thing you can do is sit back and come rake when asked. You don’t need to be in the lineup every time. We have a solid group of guys right now, you included… things are clicking. Be thankful you didn’t get traded away at the deadline and know your lane.
Yankee fans love you Luke. The Yankee organization does actually appreciate you. But the players right now? Well… let’s just say you made it weird.
Stop making it weird.
