BALTIMORE, MD – APRIL 07: New York Yankees Pitcher Tyler Clippard /

The New York Yankees are done with reliever Tyler Clippard. It’s about time that he got pushed out of New York.

The New York Yankees traded Tyler Clippard to the Chicago White Sox, and there’s only one thing I have to say to him.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Clippard should’ve been a bright spot in the bullpen this season, but he continues to be inconsistent in his career. Clippard is a primary changeup pitcher, and that hurt him big time this

season.

He couldn’t find any natural movement on it, and would sit up in the zone. This created a situation where every time Clippard got behind in the count, there was always a chance of a moonshot.

The big turning point for him was against the Los Angeles Angels prior to the All-Star break.

Clippard’s struggles were at an all time high, and Joe Girardi brought him in with an 8-2 lead. He came in, and screwed the pooch. Most of all, he just looked uncomfortable on the mound.

We can sit here and talk about Clippard’s struggles all day, but the fact of the matter is that he slumped himself out of the Bronx.

The man is a ten year veteran in this league, yet he continues to pitch like a rookie. Thank god he’s finally out of New York because it is nerve racking every time he enters a game.

He’s had two strong outings before this trade, but honestly it just upped his value. Now the New York Yankees have a bullpen to be proud of because of this trade. Add David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle, and this bullpen becomes even more dominant.

Good riddance Tyler Clippard, you had your shot and you blew it. Take your rec specks, and your baggy pants, and have fun in Chicago you bum.
