I’m going to do my best not to break out into an all-out rant here, as that was always saved for the great Greg Kirkland (who is hopefully enjoying blogger retirement), but man, the Dellin Betances news is so upsetting that I just might not be able to hold back this time.
First, the latest Betances injury is simply devastating for a player who worked all season to get back to health and help the Yankees in their quest for a World Series. A freak Achilles injury, owing to a seemingly harmless hop on the mound during his first and only appearance of the season, has ended the big righty’s season.
