3-1

this team is unbelievable at killing themselves.

sinctybldh : 8/23/2014 2:45 pm : link

so many base running problems.

damnit

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 2:47 pm : link

we should have had much more than 2 runs there.

Watching Teix run himself into an out was pretty fun though - sad but funny.

yankees really fucked

sinctybldh : 8/23/2014 2:59 pm : link

up by not signing abreu. it pisses me off how short sighted the front office is. they never look at the big picture and the long term ramifications of decisions they make and it's been fucking them in the ass for years.

well we better hope

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 3:14 pm : link

they didn't whiff again on Castillo.

Good 6 from HIROK.

can't believe we haven't scored more off Carroll. He might as well be Jamey Carroll out there.

really impressed with Prado so far

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 3:21 pm : link

he is playing like McCarthy - like a man that has wanted to play for the Yankees and isn't going to whiff on his shot to stick.

Yeah

illmatic : 8/23/2014 3:34 pm : link

Those two trades were both excellent. We can bash Cashman (if it's even his final call) on the free agent signings but we have to give him credit on those trades too.

whew

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 3:41 pm : link

Dellin made that really close with Dunn.

5-3

With Sale tomorrow we must hold on to this one.

Robertson last night with K number 500

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 4:09 pm : link

fastest yankee ever to get 500Ks and the 7th fastest all-time.

Now shut this baby down.

22 straight converted saves - longest active streak in MLB

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 4:12 pm : link

Yankees win.

Let's shock the world and go Saling tomorrow.

Robertson and Betances

Dunedin81 : 8/23/2014 5:19 pm : link

Probably the two most important members of this team.

I'd throw Gardner in there and make it the three most important/dependable members - or indispensible members.

Sure...

Dunedin81 : 8/23/2014 5:40 pm : link

The best and most consistent offensive performer and an above average defender. The dropoff from our back end to average setup man and closer though might be a six game swing, if not more.

We have two A+ relievers

Phil in LA : 8/23/2014 5:49 pm : link

and then two B-'s and dreck. We have more A type relievers coming up. and we should let them.

Oh, I think it is more than 6 games. Robertson will scare the crap out of me a little more than I'd like, but he is as good a replacement for Mo as you could hope for.

Warren has been used into ineffectiveness

Dunedin81 : 8/23/2014 5:54 pm : link

I'm not sure whether this is what Kelley is or if some measure of injury or overuse is the reason he isn't dominant like he was for part of last year.

Bird with his 6th AA HR

Dunedin81 : 8/23/2014 6:32 pm : link

In 19 games

They've been Girardi'd

Phil in LA : 8/23/2014 6:42 pm : link

the starters did them no favors either

sinctybldh : 8/23/2014 6:51 pm : link

only tanaka was going deep in to games. once he went down more reliever over usage.

The pen

Phil in LA : 8/23/2014 7:37 pm : link

needs to be reconstructed. We carry too may relievers and not enough of them can go 2 innings. So dumbfuck keeps blowing through too many each game.

I'm sure I wasn't the only person scared

RasputinPrime : 8/23/2014 8:24 pm : link

when we had Hill and Rogers warming up in the BP today.

Anyone have a guess on the likelihood of Lindgren getting a callup for September?

I think you're more likely to see...

Dunedin81 : 8/23/2014 8:41 pm : link

A Rule 5 eligible guy like Burawa or Ponder, but if they're still competitive I guess Lindgren or Rumbelow or Webb could become options.
