Oh SQUATeam...........ye of little faith........Yanks finish the season with best record in MLB over the last 5 weeks and your hopes of a Yankees losing season were dashed.

 

Predictably.........because that's how I am sure life always goes for you.

 

Also @4merper4mer the random bandwagon Cardinal fan got to enjoy a team that finished an abysmal 71-91...........victims of the balanced schedule after decades of feasting off of half-invested competition in the NL central.

 

But........no more time for you losers:

Lol you’re just trolling but it’s such a lame attempt.  You cannot be in here bragging about 82-80.  Somewhere in here you called the Padres season a disaster.  They finished 82-80 like the Yankees but that 82-80 was proof of brilliance?

 

Sure my Cardinals had a rough season but they are a well run organization and will be back.  There are some players in the pipeline.  I don’t think it will be next year but it will be soon.  How exactly are the Yankees, with TWO good players on their roster, coming back?  Spend their way out of it with more Josh Donaldsons?  Trade for more Middletons?  Lol their prospect pool is abysmal and they sold nothing at the deadline.  They can’t even afford to trade for another gem like Frankie Montas.  Maybe they can have their player personnel department turn over another superstar like Rodon.  OMFG.  Have fun paying Stanton while the Orioles have 463 young stud players on cheap contracts.  Oh, and the Rays.  Maybe you can squeak in a wild card appearance in 5 years or so.

 

NL Central has two World Series Champs since the Yankees won one.  The Cardinals last WS is more recent than the Yanks.
 

If the Bills finished 9-8…..over .500……I can’t even imagine the grousing you’d do.  Your screen name is literally a complaint about the Bills offensive line, but somehow you have a soft spot and lack of objectivity when it comes to the Yankees.  It has to be trolling because it can’t be real.

[4merper4mer]

Who ya got for NL and AL champs then who wins it all.

 

I can’t go all chalk but have to go Braves to win it all.  That means I need an underdog in the AL.  Rays.

 

Edit:  I admit even with the Ray’s it’s pretty chalky,  I like some of the underdog teams but just don’t see the pitching there.

The same Drew Thorpe is currently rated the #99 prospect in baseball.  Scouts see his upside as “possibly middle of the rotation at some point”.  Hey.  He cracked the top 100.

How do you guys feel about them keeping Boone?

 

 

I know he is annoying to Yankees fans for his positivity and seeming to ignore problems.  Sitting on those grenades and getting the players' backs does score points and respect in the lockerroom though.  I think Boone is a good guy with integrity and if they ever get that roster and salary structure in order, he will do just fine

 

Managers basically refer to a binder to determine what to do nowadays.  The last actual manager has retired (francona).

 

I do think Cashman is awful though and the league has passed him by.

I think that they should have moved on from Boone.

 

He is too soft a manager, and doesn't advocate 'aggressive' baseball.

 

Yes, he would be better if the lineup was strengthened, but who wouldn't ?

 

There are several good "free agent" managers out there.

 

 

*  as much as I live Donny Baseball, I wouldn't choose him.

 

*  with such a young team, I wouldn't mind Showalter.

 Cashman signed a 4-year deal earlier this year, so he isn't going anywhere but he has to take some of the blame here. This roster needs to be better. Take Judge out of the lineup and look at what you have.

Rays fan must despise their stadium. Lowest attended playoff game in over 100 yrs.

 

Would like to see the Orioles to win it all, but, seems too good of a turn around story.

 

AL East is even tougher. A healthy Judge and Rodon next year add 15 victories? 🤔

Ohtani had the top MLB WAR this year and Kim of the Padres was surprisingly second.  They added up to 14.2.  But an additional half season of Judge plus Rodon will add up to 15?  Because of pinstripes or ?????

Why does talk of the Yankees trigger you so much?

Why do you think I’m triggered?  Carlos Rodon and half a year of Judge do not add 15 wins to any team.  How is pointing that out an indication of being triggered?  It’s a discussion.  I disagree with what was said and used facts to back up my opinion.

 "Because of pinstripes or ?????" comes off as triggered to me ( just one example)

 

For the record I probably hate the Yankees more than you and I do appreciate your insights. But your incessant Yankee hatred hyberbola is off-putting.

Yeah, sounds about right.   But it wasn't a post about top 100 lists it was about a Yankees prospect winning an award and acknowledging a great pro debut season for Thorpe.

 

Yanks have more than their share(literally 1/20th of that list you referenced) of prospects in top 100 and as some of those graduate to the majors next season they will be followed up by another wave of them.  

 

Cardinals system was overrated and now it's pretty barren...........but don't despair..........by virtue of their last place finish this season they will be drafting near the top of round 1 so you'd think they'd get a good player.

JMO - but it feels like Yankee fans only post here when there's something good to post. When things go bad this thread goes silent. Not much critical thinking as far as I can tell.

I was just pondering about Judge and Rodon, 15 game uptick seems a lot. Not a big stat reader, but, thanks, I’ll pay more attention to WAR. Now if the Yankees signed Ohtani……🤔

I admit to using hyperbole in this thread but typically it is in response to unintended hyperbole like implying Carlos Rodon will have a WAR approaching 10.

Like Tink Hence, or Masyn Winn, or Jordan Walker?  But honestly, fair enough point.  Nothing wrong with pointing out the award.  Congrats to the kid.

 

In the spirit of fairness will you admit that the “Bilz” OL hasn’t been that bad this year?

Ohtani at Yankee stadium would be undeniably impactful.  Of course he would be anywhere, but it would be something.  Let’s see if Cashman’s analysis, which netted the Yankees a 47 year contract with Stanton, deems Ohtani the worthy of pursuit.
