Hammel (1-5 6.38 era) vs Severino (2-2 3.64 era). 7:05pm start time.
Yanks had a late game collapse yesterday. We need to take this game.
In the rumor mill, I have read a few articles that speculate a possible Garret Cole reunion. Not sure that Pirates will part with Cole right now and I doubt we pony up the prospects to get him.
Castro + some farm pieces? I know there was great debate about this last week whether we should or not. They would probably want Torres (ughhh next) or Frazier (hell no). Anyway they could package Castro with some lesser farm pieces?
BTW not saying they should, just trying to value Pitts asking price.
I agree. BTW Orioles lost today.

No way in hell Castro is the centerpiece of any trade

Luis Severino's 97.1mph avg. fastball velo is the highest among qualified MLB starters this season
With Judge-Gardner-Ellsbury-Hicks currently filling the OF and Fowler waiting in the wings, Frazier is probably the most expendable. Future OF (2-3 years from now) of Rutherford-Fowler-Judge.
But Frazier would just be the starting point. Pitt would probably want Mateo + arms.
I'd stay the course and move Gardner and/or Ellsbury in the offseason.
He was 18. Either he was influenced by his parents or he changed his mind and went to college. I'm not going to hold it against him as if he was a grown man that went out of his way to screw the Yanks.

I don't think expendable is the word to describe Clint Frazier. He's close to major league ready and everyone thinks he's a sure thing. I want them to continue trying to get rid of veterans, not add them especially at the expense of top of the farm guys. Obviously Cole is young but nah, I'll pass.
This is silly at this point, move on. The Yankees surely have. Oppenheimer has maintained a good relationship with the family.

Be advised, forgiveness is not what I do best.
There are plenty of other pitchers out there.
Torres, Sanchez, Bird, Judge, Frazier, Rutherford.
Don't move any of them. You build a winner with position players in the game now.
Looks like tomorrow is going to be a washout, so tomorrow's game will have to be made up sometime later in the season
Only problem (a good one to have) is that Rutherford and Frazier both project to corner OF (and Judge already has RF locked up). So one of them will likely be moved for a P at some point.

Lol yeah I should know that about you at this point

Cashman is proud of that trade and the report is that he will have legendary bat speed. Exit velo comparable to Sanchez and Judge. You don't trade that. Pitchers will be shitting themselves facing that future line up. Gleyber,Sanchez,Judge,Frazier is the new core.

Bellinger is a solid OFer playing 1B because that is where he is needed and he is athletic enough to do it.
You start with the bat and make it fit. If Frazier and Rutherford track to starter level on this team, we will find room. That will likely start with trading Ellsbury to a team in the Korean league.
So a Cole trade would probably cost at least 2 of Frazier, Rutherford, Sheffield plus more
Way too much IMO. Stay the course.

Agreed. Stay the course. Let the kids decide their own destiny.
July 4th or after the ASB.
Dustin Fowler is the CF of the future.....

Bellinger is actually a 1st baseman that is athletic enough to play the OF. 1st base is his future when AGone is gone

I predict there will be a prospect position player who will shine and is not among those 6
Ellsbury out of the game
Didi is part of the this teams future dynasty.
This is news? Have you never burned your ears before today?

It's every Fucking time. Embarrassment.
7 day dl at least.

Damn. Austin isn't ready and Williams hasn't been hitting.
Very exciting. Can't wait for some of these guys (along with Gleyber) to be called up. The future is as bright as it's looked in along time.
My bet: Fowler will be called up
My bet: Fowler will be called up
He would have to be put on the 40-man, not sure the Yanks want to do that. But it would be fun to see.
Wade is in Scranton/WB (AAA)
Geez

My bet is that Dustin Fowler gets the call up. He's been on fire for the last couple of weeks. On the other hand, Wade is starting to heat up.

In almost any other system, Fowler would already be in the majors. He's better than half the OF's in MLB already (IMHO)
The Yanks have to do something. They need at least 4 outfielders and they don't really want to have to play Holliday out there even though he can still play some.
Bet Refsnyder is recalled.

don't forget Torreyez can play OF too.

stupid question: Is Wade on the 40 Man?

mavric you can e on the 40 man and not in the Bronx. Mateo is on it and in Trenton
Nice playing Gary.
Wade is not. And it's probably the main reason he wasn't with the ML club when Didi got hurt and they kept a guy like Kozma.
If it's just a 7 day thing with Ellsbury then I doubt they're calling up one of the top guys, as much as we'd like that. In that case I figure it'll be Ref
WOW
Didn't hurt them this time

lead off walk. Sad.

Nope. Don't want those asses to think they can get ack in it.
Maybe he gets the 8th also.
Give him 1 more batter
Quote:
here or do you let Sevey stay out there?
Give him 1 more batter
Just let him pitch.
One more. Let's go.
8 shutout. Great game. Huge uplift for the team.
Great pitching tonight.
Yeah- the talking heads were saying this is why you stick with him as a starter and don't move him to the pen.
I'll confess I have probably been on both sides of that debate...
Should give Green and Cessa a shot too.
Michell is a lost cause as a starter.
A week until May ends and the Yankees are in 1st place. Nice!
I am hoping that Adams forces his way into the rotation by next spring...taking over for CC.
Cain of KC re Sevy: I don't know where they found that guy but he's pretty darn good.
RHP Domingo Acevedo threw 7.1 shutout innings, 3 hits, 9Ks. He is 2-0 since being promoted to AA Trenton and has a 0.00 ERA. Acevedo is 6'7" and throws hard. He's another guy that could project as a dominant reliever if he doesn't continue to find success as a starter.
Hitting coaches need to work on Judge and the low outside pitch. He takes an awful lot of those for called 3rd strikes. We know he is doing better because he is laying of those regularly, but with two strikes he has to start punching them to right. Better than just looking at them. Might have to do with learning the strike zone down there, but the umps are consistently calling that pitch. He is a special player and hate to see him go down looking.

that called strike was horse shit. wasn't even close
Quote:

I think replay showed it was a strike...
But that is not the point. Close or not, he can't keep looking at pitches that close. You have to protect the plate. It is obvious the umps are calling that pitch and he changed his approach over the winter to not swing at pitches off the plate, low. It is a fine line. But he should see lots of those pitches in practice, if possible, to see if he can foul them off or punch them to right.
IDK, but does he stand there night after night getting caught looking at something he might be able to fight off? It really isn't occasionally. It seems that is what pitchers the last few series are doing. Every hitter has a hole. His hit last night was away, even if slightly up. Great piece of hitting. Maybe the Yankees are willing to live with that one "small" hole?
Thought O'Neill was going to blow a gasket
I don't think he is getting that many bad calls. The replays seem to show most are strikes. Like you I shout at the screen on those, but then they show a replay...Yeah a few are low, but a lot less than we admit to.
Well, either he gets a better feel for what they are calling and adjusts, or the umps adjust. But since it has been multiple umps, I doubt they adjust.
Now swinging at that with less than two strikes is another story, but looking at a 3rd strike over and over is something else and with less than 3 balls in the count, pitchers will try to hit that spot until he does something about it.

pitcher. Judge is doing fine. He's maturing as a hitter. As he gains stature and establishes that he won't widen the strike zone, those calls will start to go his way. Telling him to chase them would be the aboslute wrong thing to do.

"replay" also doesn't adjust the strike zone to fit the actual body of the hitter. That's the issue here. Judge has a very different strike zone. Is it bigger than most? Yes. Should a pitch at his shins be called a strike because its a strike for 90% of the league? No.

Replay, not K zone. We can see the plate on the overhead cam and height on the 1st base cam. I wouldn't trust K zone as it seems to be a one size fits all gimmick.
