Gregg Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 2 minutes ago, Gugny said: That’s the team they chose to build. And pinning your hopes on a pitcher in his mid-30s to be your savior is never smart. Once Cole went down with a bad elbow, he was done. Yes - he can still pitch - but he will not be dominant this season, if ever again. Couldn’t happen to a bigger bunch of #######, including their ####### fan base. I also think it’s cute when Boone says naughty words and thinks it’s going to help. They’re getting what they deserve after letting Girardi go and replacing him with this idiot - who had never coached/managed at any level of baseball in his life. Idiots. I think the one that deserves criticism is Cashman. The lineup outside of Judge and Soto is "meh". Pitching hasn't been what it was earlier in the year. You are right pinning your hopes on a pitcher in his mid-30's isn't a good idea. If George were still alive Cashman would have been canned by now. Over 162 there will be ups and downs, but the Yankees have been slumping to long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the Yankees are behind the times with team-building. They seem to be stuck between their 'brute-force' acquiring and paying players and also not. If you are going to pay, go all-out Dodgers. If not, maybe let Judge walk and use that money to fill 3-6 spots in the lineup/bullpen. Im a Cleveland fan. The amount of smart building they do, and have done over the years is mind-boggling. They are like a pitching factory, and they seem to trade players at the perfect time and get players in return who contribute in a few years time. Kluber, Clevinger, Bauer, even Lindor. The Yankees seem too tempted by and willing to keep paying players on their back-stretch. Data says the Yankees draft and develop well. Why isnt it translating? Or is the bar just too high? These collapses that seem to happen every year hurt perception. I like Boone. I feel like he is well respected amongst players, and he is basically a by-the-binder manager, which is and should be fine.

Finnegan makes a lot of sense for them but I’m not sure they get along with Washington. Kopech is no better than Kimbrel. Neris sucks. Marlins guy? With Bautista back next year they are in a weird spot. I suppose Estevez might be the prime target. Edited July 25 by 4merper4mer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Yanks make a nice to trade with the Marlins to get Jazz. Nice rebound from the Mets disaster taking 2 of 3 from the Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Seriously disappointed in the lack of moves at the deadline. Yankees needed at least another relief pitcher and another bat. Other teams in the race got better, we somewhat did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Another win in Philly last night. Won 4 out of their last 5 games. Hopefully this means they have gotten back on track after a long stretch of bad baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 What a road trip. Won 5 out of 6. Swept the Phillies with a 6-5 win today. Let's Go Yankees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Schmidt coming back to the rotation should be huge. I'm still not happy with Holmes as our closer and I think we are relying way to much on Stanton and others to bounce back, but this is a game of confidence and hopefully this week helped boost ours. More than anything, I'm just happy that all the other first place teams appeared to slump at the same time we did 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 At this point, they can’t release Torres. Leads the league in errors at second, terrible batting, and now costs the team a run because he didn’t run out a hit. Thought he had a home run, stopped to watch it, winds up with a single when it bounces off the wall. Then he gets thrown out at home, where he would have been safe had he started at 2nd. He sucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucks Not sure when you posted this but Boone eventually pulled him from the game. Pretty sure Boone has been Gleyber's manager his entire career. If Gleyber is as lazy/undisciplined as I read - it's an incredibly bad look for Boone as a manager. Disclosure: I'm a Mets fan, I try to avoid biased posts but I'm human.
