NFT: Angels vs Yankees 7:05 Severino on the hill

Judge
Sanchez
Severino
Montgomery
Didi
Castro
Hicks

All 27 and under and Bird is/was option #1 at 1B.

And maybe we can put to rest these incessant complaints about Austin not being given a chance. His swing and miss rate is actually WORSE at AAA than Carters is. Maybe, just maybe Cashman and co. know what they are doing? Just throwing it out there.

Preposterous!

He hit 4 homers in 10 games at AAA before being sent back down to AA

Saw a segment on this from the Yes Network today. It sounds like Joe and Cashman may be a little at odds with the the 1st base and Austin situation. Joe would like to bring Austin up and is frustrated that the team has limited options at 1st base. Joe did mention Austin's strikeout rate, and that he sees him only as a 1B (he has played the OF).
Cashman says Austin needs to work out a few thing before being promoted, but expects that he will be promoted sometime this year.

In other team's news, Kyle Schwaber (who some would like the Yanks to trade for) has been demoted to AAA by the Cubs.

who was striking out a ton. I haven't seen ONE move this past year in which a player striking out too much negatively affected how they viewed him. This seems like an excuse to me for not bringing up Austin. I think Cash doesn't want to hurt his trade value and will keep him in SWB until the Greg Bird situation has fully played itself out.

And while people are focusing on Chris Carter's strikeouts, how about the lazy fucking errors he's making in the field? I still haven't gotten over that error he committed in Toronto.

What about two days ago when he let a ten hop little league grounder get under his glove?

Are giving players a real shot when they earn it, a great system. There is no upgrade at first and third right now, Torres was going to replace Headley, that is done now. So if you think about it, You replace Headley with Torres, and replace Carter with Bird, and the position players are all young and talented, things happen that you can't control and the injuries to Bird and Torres are just tough breaks. They are paying Carter 3.5 mil, no way was the plan for him to be a starter. You don't ruin what you are building towards for a 1 year run. Anyone that complains right now about the Yanks are really clueless. Plus we have two young starters that we could not have banked on before the season in Severino and Montgomery, there was real concern about Severino, and now look at him. Yanks and Cashman have done a sensational job, let them continue.

You bring this up every single day. And every day you continue to completely ignore the fact that Austin HAS NO TRADE VALUE!!!! Nobody is giving the Yankees anything for Tyler Austin. And it's also been mentioned to you that Austin HAS been brought up to the majors before, and was terrible. Austin is not some huge prospect that teams are tripping over themselves for. Every team in baseball has dozens of Tyler Austins in their systems. Now please, just let it go. Jeezus man.

To be fair, Austin was a rookie last year, and struggled as many rookies do as they adjust to big league pitching. Before the season had ended he had made some adjustments with his approach at the plate and was starting to hit.

can come off the DL Saturday, and that he will throw then and go from there. Warren said he isn't feeling any pain or discomfort.

The idea this guy keeps bringing up is that they refuse to bring him up because they don't want to hurt his trade value. That's asinine. His trade value is very, very low. The only thing that can happen by bringing him up is for him to thrive and that would increase his value. Nothing is going to hurt his trade value, he doesn't have any right now. This isn't Clint Frazier or Gleyber Torres here. Those guys have value. Austins trade value can only go up at this point.

If Austin is traded, it mostly be as part of a package of players. The team is probably going to have to move some prospects by next year to clear a little space on the 40 man roster for some of the young studs.

continues to scorch the ball. 5-10 in three AAA games?
and he is on the 40 man roster already.

on both levels. He's obviously not a Judge-type prospect, but the idea that Austin not being great when he was first called up matters somehow is completely untrue.

If Tyler Austin sprints to first base defensively when a ground ball is hit to the right side of the infield, that makes him an upgrade over Carter.

He's not going to hit a lot of HRs (Although RF in Yankee Stadium might add to his #), but is a solid,professional hitter & outstanding glove! Head & shoulders better than what they have now!

Gardner LF
Hicks CF
Judge RF
Holliday DH
Castro 2B
Sanchez C
Didi SS
Carter 1B
Torreyes 3B

Severino on the mound.

Carter back at 1st Guess the Pop Up that Holliday missed yesterday didn't go over well.

He's available?? Wtf we should totally sign him!!!

He has a good approach at the plate and plays defense.

It's amazing how low a player like Loneys value sinks at 1B for not having much power.

Yea we might see him next month.. he's the real deal at the plate and has a rocket. Just has a Nunez like glove.. but I'm high on him.

If they don't do anything at 1B could always call up Andujar and move Headley to 1B.

Good point that he's on the 40Man, I hadn't noticed that.

and keep the bats hot.

Carter will be fine. Let's just keep starting him and hope he is ready to transcend the player he has been and become the league average player we are hoping for.

What the hell is wrong with Bird?

Classy moment.

HR by first hitter.

should bode well.

1-1

.

Kid has shot up the ranks. He very well maybe traded.

Adams on the mound, I'll post some box score stats later on

His avg is low, but I think it's time.

2-1 Good Guys.

To dead center off the restaurant

Three run bomb.

Wow that one is long gone.

dear god this is fun to watch.

5-1

Judge is? My god soon they won't pitch to him.

I watched A-Rod have two MVP seasons here, and I daresay Judge has outdone them both so far.

A BLAST!!!

Muthafuckas!

5-1 Good Guys.

49 rookie record.

Judge wasn't a Judge-like prospect till he (to his credit) reinvented his swing.

as they play us? What a pain in the ass they are.

Joe baby???

1st and 3rd no out. Lets get out of this

Austin is having a good night tonight at SWB, 2 for 4 with 1-HR (second in two days), double, and four RBIs

Don't under estimate the angels they are good as the Yanks have seen

IP=6, H=1, ER=0, SO=8, BB=2

if you're not going to bring him into a critical situation like 1st and 3rd with a 1 run lead?

Girardi used to be a good bullpen manager....now he's simply awful. He's a big reason why the Yankees have vastly undperformed their expected W-L records based on their run differential the season.

He seems like a platoon guy in the best case senario. We are totally spoiled with the phenomenal experience of seeing elite talent in Judge and Sanchez

Having a four run lead at home with your best pitcher going is a tough one to lose. Let's hope for some runs.
Who would have thought before the season that we would miss C.C. so much?

because he has not been used because of the defined roles for pitchers Girardi or Cash has mandated.

Ok time to win the game despite hole we dug

It was probably the worst of this shitty 10 game stretch. Laziness and sloppiness defensively combined with an offense that literally went to sleep the final 7 innings of the game.

They had TWO baserunners the last 7 innings of the game.

trending downward, at home, and you've got to be shitting me at C & 2B. Betances was due for a clunker. But, c'mon fellas.

Seems the great winning streak was a mirage. This looks more like what so many predicted about the Yankees at the beginning of the season. Boston et al will be in the running for the Division 'til the end, but Yankee pitching simply will not suffice to give them any real chance at the end of the day. Too bad!

The pitching, in both series, against an Angels team missing Trout, has been flat out embarassing
