This has been fixed and I'll be in touch with @Darian Lopez shortly -
Let me know and I will help you upload to the site @Darian Lopez -
I knew Jamo had a game like this in him! That stat line looks beautiful, and yes I know it’s vs the Mariners: 7.0 IP, 4H, 1R, 1BB, 9Ks Sidenote @Gordo rumors say your Phils are looking for a late inning guy? We got some arms. If Chapman doesn't shake out maybe we can ship him down I-95.

Not really. It’s my understanding that this goes further than the Dodgers not wanting to do anything, and that it’s the MLB domestic abuse policy that MLB, and only MLB, can hand down disciplinary action in this case. Even something as simple as the Dodgers skipping Bauer’s next schedule start could be interpreted as “disciplinary”, and would have been grounds for the MLBPA, MLB, or Bauer to take action against the Dodgers. With labor talks looming after the season, a grievance between the union and the league is not something they want to deal with.

Sorry man, I do my best to pivot and talk about other things going on in baseball as much as I can. That said, what will it take for us to get Didi back

Kinda want to try and keep the thread from being continuous talk about the Yankees, but Aaron Judge is going to be 30 next year and will be a free agent when the season ends. The Yankees can try to retain him, but the only way I and I think the fanbase can and should support this move is if he stays healthy both this season and the next one, as that would prove he's worked on his conditioning as that was a problem for him in earlier years. I've been advocating that the team stop trying to find reclamation projects and just let the kids in AAA play who are mashing in Scranton though

Teams are not going to give us anyone of value. Execs in the league say our team is too slow, not as athletic, and the series where we got swept by the Red Sox kind of exposed the type of team we really are. We're not going to be a playoff caliber team for a really long time that a "retooling" can't fix.

They did need someone that wasn't a 37 year old Brett Gardner out in CF though To be honest it gives us some level of depth considering we now have one of the fastest guys in baseball that can cover CF instead of Gardner (see above) and he can go back to platooning in LF with Frazier, and Andujar can go back to playing his natural position (3B). His ability to put the bat on the ball is secondary compared the peace of mind knowing we have one less defensive liability on the field.

Great, so basically RH Tyler Wade.

You underestimate my dedication! I watch games I attend to completion, or at least until I'm out of chicken tenders and fries for the game. In this case, it was way too hot/humid and post-rain delay it was really sticky weather. I figured I'd go through all that to see the team seal a win, but we knew they'd lose considering they only scored 1 run after tagging Ohtani for 7 in the first. It's supposed to rain today so I'm not sure if that 1:05 game will even be played.

Man it is too hot here to formulate an opinion 😰
-
Just wanted to say that yes, I'm aware of the ongoing allegations against Trevor Bauer. Given the details that will likely come out in the coming days, if he never wears another baseball uniform again, I will not miss seeing him on the mound. An absolute monster outside of the sport.
-
This Cubs-Brewers game is a classic. Holy cow.

Shohei plays hard until the very last out, but I know for a fact we would have ruined him if he played for us

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-24
Kccitystar replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
It's a catch-all term for grocery stores that's basically a new york city colloquialism -
The Yankees keep trying to challenge him and I sit here asking myself WHY
-
I'm of the belief that Sanchez probably thought King had a good feel for that pitch but I didn't like the location. In any case, what are the odds we see Hoy Jun Park get a call up, or Trey Amburgey by the end of the month?
-
That's the face of a man who literally launched a missile into the seats in the first inning of the game. Sidenote, I didn't like that pitch sequence from Michael King yesterday when I looked at it later on Baseball Savant. If you're working Ohtani outside the entire AB, you know he is going to turn on that inside pitch the minute he can read it off your hands, and because of the caliber of player Ohtani is, he is not going to miss that pitch. Boggles my mind why Sanchez would call that pitch. I'll be at the stadium for Ohtani's start Wednesday and that should be fun, chicken tender buckets and all.

At the game, that ball was a missle

You know, I read articles like these that try to explain why one of our top pitching talent carries an 8.80 ERA in the minors and I realize that the Yankees have no idea how to develop players, specifically pitching talent in particular. It's usually down to the front office who all seem like smart people about everything except baseball. Honestly, I have to know, why the hell is Deivi trying to learn a slider? Why even tinker with his approach when he was very effective last season and earned himself an opener slot in the ALDS? Let's not kid ourselves, Deivi is never going to throw 98 with a hard slider. That's not who he is. From games I've seen, he's got potential to be a mid to back of the rotation guy with a good makeup and these goofy guys who are hardliners on analytics with pitching and how "the numbers show..." are setting him up to fail. It's infuriating, and all I can say is that we'll watch him get traded and put up sub 3.00 ERA stretches on another team in a few years because they're not going to tinker with what got him called up the first time. I guarantee it. The player development in this organization is abysmal. Almost every young player tends to gets worse here. That said, some notable games/matchups going on today:
-
Josh Naylor just suffered a really bad injury on the field. He collides with another outfielder and he is sent full helicopter and lands on his leg in a way where it bends backwards. Not good. NSFW link of the injury for the morbidly curious.
-
D'Backs/Padres is today's free game of the day. We can group watch that today on MLB.TV

I don't even know where to begin with this because trying to give some of you guys at least some perspective is exhausting. See, this is the thing. "Yankee talk" in this thread has devolved into toxic doom-posting, which already grew to be a problem in the chat box. It's precisely why collectively as admin staff we decided to pivot conversations to move into the gameday thread, but even that is growing to be a problem, because it's become apparent that it's slowly become a dumping ground for Yankee venting. Just facing some facts here: The team is not having a good season, and the general fanbase both inside and outside of this site don't know what to do except have hilariously awful reactionary takes about firing everyone on the team, or trading guys who are entering their prime years away that are playing poorly. Doing that would put the team in a "rebuilding" phase (which is funny enough long overdue, whether or not the fans want to believe it), and then, having lost a sense of perspective and patience, I'm willing to wager that those same fans will eventually whine and complain about the team not winning enough or fast enough with the young prospects they delude themselves into thinking that teams will willingly trade away. If the team sucks this season, then it is what it is. As a fan, I don't have direct control over the outcome, but I'm aware that what I do have direct control over is the content I watch. If I don't find Yankees baseball to be entertaining, I either tune out of the game and check the box score later, or just watch another game/matchup that's on for that given day. Above all else at least for me it's good for my mental health and sanity and it doesn't make me any less of a fan for putting that first. Like most of us who follow our teams, we don't like to see the team lose, but I also don't like to be angry about things I don't have any control over. Having an MLB.TV membership has given me that luxury of being able to watch other games that I don't take for granted throughout the season. I know every team has a thing, but what the hell is this 😂 Your hometown team sucks dude
-
I thought you stopped watching the team lose all the time and canceled your MLB.TV subscription in your anger? 😂

Outside of Ohtani and Alonso participating in the Derby this season, who else will join? I think MLB sent out a request to Mancini and the Orioles aren't going to keep him from going
