We also forget that their entire organization and philosphy/approach along with how the lineup was constructed is far different than the 2022 Yankees and their front office
-
I'll be honest, Brian Cashman is not the worst GM in baseball, but someone needs to tell Hal and the rest of the organization that the biggest team in American sports should not be routinely outclassed by organizations spending far less money. If you don’t think the front offices of the Rays, Astros, Braves, etc. would outperform Cashman with his budget/headroom, you have to be kidding yourself. His complete lack of accountability has also filtered down to the players, too. Boone himself is not a good manager. He isn’t tasked with much because the front office clearly doesn’t believe in delegating responsibilities to the baseball people, but the little he does do he bungles with completely boneheaded decisions (like taking out your ace who literally put the team on his back to get you to this point in the playoffs in favor of what's arguably your third/fourth best reliever with the bases loaded). That said, if you think Boone is the problem, then we have to fault Cashman for continuing to bring him back. At Yankee Stadium, they sell Chicken buckets, basically a mix of chicken tenders and fries, which are a fan favorite because of their price/portion size along with a soda. A vast majority of the fanbase that attend the games (like me) will line up to order those because $15 dollar canned cocktails are where we draw the line, but I and the majority of fans can't come to the stadium and get a deal like that to support an organization that is not serious enough to put themselves in the best position both during the season and during the offseason about putting a championship caliber team on the field.

So what I'm going to do is take my time to rant. So, over 3 games, the team's got 12 hits and 41 Ks. The lineup needs good contact hitters in a bad way. You're not winning in the LCS with a lineup of .230-.250 hitters who strikeout a ton and hit home runs occasionally. Top pitchers will always kill that lineup structure 10 times out of 10. I'm really ready as a fan to put the "Baby Bombers Era" to sleep tomorrow night though. I've come to the conclusion that it's been nothing but a complete dud. It's beginning to slap me in the face that every single rival or contemporary has lapped this team in terms of vision and organizational approach. You have the Astros, who are likely going to their fourth World Series in six years, and they've won* one already. Boston? They retooled and won a title. The Dodgers won a title and two pennants. The Rays won a pennant! In the period since they've won a WS, the Mets across town ALSO won a pennant! The Yankees have TWO division titles in 10 years and have tried to trot the same team out for 5 years now. I guarantee you that they will do this and try to gaslight all of us as fans that letting Judge walk to another team for more money is a good idea while they trot the same team out there next season with Peraza playing SS in AAA over IKF come spring training. Second-rate owner. Second-rate GM. Second-rate roster, a fourth-rate manager and a second-rate organization. I can't wait to see what 14 year old IFA that Cashman will decide to splurge on this off-season, because I sure am glad they didn't break the luxury tax so they didn't lose any of that international money. I can't wait to see him also tear up the minors and then never come-up because our moronic GM ends up blocking him with whatever cheap-ass stopgap he chose to sign instead of the multiple marquee free agents that were available. The fans deserve and expect better from the organization, chicken buckets be damned.

I don't even know how to begin with my feelings. To be honest, for the first 9 innings it was a tense, well-played game. If the Mariners had walked it off in the bottom of the 9th I would've obviously been disappointed, but it would've been whatever, there'll be another game tomorrow. This was a stinker, but you know what, the Angels game they played last season where they had fans sit through a rain delay, then give up 7 runs in the 9th inning was probably the worst Yankees loss in recent memory past this one.
-
Why can't the Yankees have a player like Tatis, period?
-
I'm telling you dude the entire organization is a death star. They have great scouts, a great farm system, great ownership that has an good eye for evaluating players in the league, etc.
-
Speaking of, what did I tell you about Taillon! Patience! 👍
-
Since Luis Gil was called up as a COVID replacement, they can call him back up at anytime. They don’t need to wait the 10 days like they would with a regular call up. He’ll hang around like Wade did when he was “sent down”.

The derby has become a showcase with a LOT of thump participating

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
