Losses like that manifest you have to rebound and win or you spiral. That happens with this team far too often and that’s on Boone. Stanton getting hurt will be their excuse tho. But we’ll need to watch him suck for a month before he starts to get rolling. By then we’ll be fighting for the 3rd wild card and discussing trading Soto at the deadline. Hal is awful. George wouldn’t stand for this. Quote

I go back to the O's vs Yanks 70's matchups with Earl Weaver and Billy Martin. That was entertainment! Quote

The guy cheap shot the organization that paid his protege’ what he wanted. With 12 letters after his name, guess that qualifies him as organizational material. 1 Quote

I’m done watching this team as long as Clay Holmes is the closer. The 3 best players on earth are the only reason to pay attention - Soto Judge and Cole. Boone sucks but won’t get fired. They are complete joke. Cashman built a flawed team - and if he thinks it’s not then that’s your manager. You relied on guys in their mid 30s to bounce back and one did but we know he pulls a hammy every season. Plan B? Some guy named Jamai Jones. Enough with all the “every team has tough spots” talk. That’s for losers. 1 Quote

That’s for losers. Holmes is one strike away and throws that pitch? Volpe sight sees on the way home and costs a run. Sloppy defensive play that luckily didn’t hurt them. It was a brutal loss and the well is looking empty. Surprised Boone’s nose didn’t grow in the post game show. Pulling the players type of manager “rough patch” act with your team losing 15 out of 20….well, you said it. 1 Quote
Gregg Posted July 8 Posted July 8 5-15 in their last 20. 1 -5 on the 6 game homestand. I realize over 162 there will be up's and downs, but this streak of bad play is going on a little too long now. 1 Quote

Soto’s approach rubbed off on them in the beginning of the year but they’ve adjusted well and seem back to their normal trash tendencies. Quote
BADOLBILZ Posted July 10 Author Posted July 10 The starting pitching has been the biggest culprit but it should iron itself out. The rest of the solutions to the Yankees problems are in the minor leagues. They just don't bring the players up unless it's a last resort(like the Rizzo injury). Ben Rice should have been up last July. Stanton goes on the IL and instead of bringing up Agustin Ramirez(and his 20 HR and 21% K rate) they install Trent Grisham full time in CF instead. I've mentioned the triple A arms that should be in the bullpen. Will Warren had the highest "stuff plus" in all of the minors last year and they are trying to give him innings instead of using that nasty arsenal in the MLB bullpen. Maybe he's not meant for starting pitching success like King or Schmidt. His ERA is over 6 as a starter. Just like Delin Betances(6.44) as a starter at Triple A in 2012. The made him a reliever and he was the best reliever in MLB in 2014 and 2015 pitching to a sub 1.50 ERA over 144 appearances. They just don't ever seem to learn from their own successes. The Yankees are the worst base running team in MLB at -13 runs and that is almost twice as bad as the 31st team(Angels). They haven't stolen a base in 21 games. Meanwhile, their minor league teams have lead the minors in stolen bases the last two years. Surround Judge and Soto with the kids and play a more aggressive style. It comes down to economics........Hal and Cashman refuse to cut losses until it's clear that that player is among the worst in MLB with absolutely no chance of recovery. See Hicks and Donaldson(both now out of baseball). DP Le Pew is arguably the worst player in MLB right now. No slug, impossibly slow and terrible on the bases and has even become a negative defensive runs guy. He's 35, cut bait. Bring up Jorbit Vivas or Ben Cowles and let Cabrera keep developing. If they get traded........they are going right to the major leagues. They are as ready as they are going to get. You either serve the youth or you get punished for not doing so. 3 1 Quote

Gregg Posted July 10 Posted July 10 5-16 in their last 21. What looked like a great season earlier in the year is starting to look like poop. Quote
US Egg Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Mets 1 1/2 out of a wild card. Yankees looking like they’ll be vying for one. Who’d of thought that a month ago? Quote
4merper4mer Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Yanks should target Rengifo at the deadline if his injury is not serious. He could really help them IMO. Quote

Bolded is a fair question but unbolded an unfair comparison. Yanks are sitting at .591 +3.5 for the first AL WC spot, Mets are at .500 -1.5 from the last NL WC spot. I'm a Mets fan and what I see is a .500 team playing in a league where that currently keeps them in contention - the same record puts them 5 games out of the last WC spot in the AL. Yanks will make the playoffs (a -effin-gain...no mean feat) but aren't the juggernaut they were a month ago. I'll look forward to seeing how things play out the next month. Between hot/cold players, trades, call-ups and injuries it's likely to change for both teams. For the record I'm not overly optimistic about the Mutts. I think the Cranks will improve but not look like WS contenders. Time will tell. 1 Quote

Gregg Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Much needed win yesterday. We will need a lot more of that. Quote
