NFT: Yanks v Rangers Daytime baseball

Fuck him. Through him off his game. What kind of crap is that? You move your whole infield to one side and the batter isn't allowed to take advantage? What a dooshbag. I wish there was no DH so this jerk would have to hit and get knocked on his candy ass.

with back-to-back bunts.

Abso-fuckin-lutely. And do it toward the 1B line so they have a chance to run him over.

the day off...he's been brutal offensively/defensively recently

Carlos Beltran DH ---- 87 OPS+ ---- $15M
Brian McCann 1B ----- 85 OPS+ ---- $17M

Embarrassing performance from the new guys. I understand New York takes some adjusting to but come on. These two guys are the key to our season. I'm praying they get it going soon enough.

of the top 6 guys going into the season in our lineup have been a train wreck. McCann is the real head scratcher, I expected Jeter to have a lousy year with the bat at age 40 and not having played much with the bat, I guess the Yankees didnt considering they havent moved him once out of the 2 hole, but it shouldnt surprise anyone. Beltran with his age cant really be shocked either that he is banged up. McCann is the real head scratcher

keep rolling

keeeeeeeeep rolling into august

Pineda back sometime in august per cashmoneyman

and Gardner hitting either 2nd or 6th.

dont tell me because he has 10 dingers

gardy is a typical 1-2 hitter, if not there 9

a .270 singles hitter. Girardi's in a tough spot - he has to drop him in the lineup, but how?

Fill out a lineup card with the name "Jeter" in the seventh slot.

from Brian Roberts

.

have dropped Jeter in the lineup in spring training, get the media shit storm over with when the games don't count. Then if he played well you could move him up.

He's been a disaster at the plate in the 2 hole. About the most empty .270 you'll ever see. He had 13 extra base hits, thats pathetic.

1) In terms of offensive WAR, he's third on the team.
2) Moving him in this lineup, with these shitty replacement choices for that spot, would make so little a difference to be meaningless.

and Ellsbury should hit 1-2 in the lineup, figure out the rest from there.

two outs on two pitches...

Beltran and McCann coming up, two pitches later, two outs, and Gardner is still standing on 2nd. Frustrating.

But Chase picks them up, nice.

is the man

IDK if they're clicking or just playing bad opponents but a win is a win.

What the hell is a Rougned Odor?

Rebuild!!!

lose 3 of 4 in this series, so I'm pleasantly surprised that the Yanks didn't fumble this chance. 6-1 since the break, keep it up. We all know this team is smoke and mirrors right now with the pitching staff and the hitting has been woefully underwhelming, but we're only 2.5 games out.

For all of his faults, this past year and half has made me appreciate Girardi. This team doesn't quit and he's a big reason why.

has done great so far. This team doesn't realize they are supposed to suck. We will get a little healthier and hopefully the big bats will wake up when it matters most. Just keep winning.

in the off-season.

keep them coming.

the yanks to lose 3 out of four to the worst team in the league? This team isnt any good but they are better than the Rangers.

But, honestly, what does he have to work with on this roster?

they were coming off a really nice 3 game sweep of the Reds to get themselves 3 games over .500 after the break. I expected them to fuck this up somehow against an easy team like the Rangers. Back-to-back series wins and a 6-1 record out of the break? Did not see that coming.

But every time this team gets some cushion over the .500 mark, they tend to start losing again. We're 5 games above .500 now so I wouldn't be shocked if we went 3-6 over our next 3 series. It's just been the Yanks way this season. Hopefully they can finally get to 10 games above .500 this season but until then, I'll just keep expecting them to return to .500 and then go on a little streak to keep their heads above water.

and Girardi are really what has kept this season together. Guys have stepped up in the rotation too. The offense continues to blow. Girardi has done a wonderful job but its not going to be enough to get into the playoffs if the offense doesnt pick it up, and at this point theres no real reason to believe the offense will pick it up.

and they trade machine will keep going.

with 6+ ERAs. That's not encouraging, even if the final scores were in our favor.

this year without 4 out of 5 starters

look at this rotation that has stepped up

...

about the way the starters have pitched with all the injuries. But its hard to expect this the rest of the way, and they likely aren't getting anyone back outside of maybe Pineda but I wouldnt hold my breath on him and who knows how he would even pitch after missing so much time last 3 years. From everything you hear about Tanaka it sounds like he's done for the year at a minimum, hopefully TJ surgery isnt needed but it doesnt sound good so far

a few years ago, if we could have dropped Phelps, Greene and Whitley into some of those brutal rotations.

His WHIP is atrocious this year but he could be a serviceable 5.

only because it keeps the prospects in tact.
