Wow what a pathetic showing by Pineda again. No offense again. About to have their first losing home stand before they go on a tough road trip. It real be real interesting to see where this team is out July 4th. If they lose today which is possible it will 10 out of 12 losses. It's safe to say this team has come back down to earth.
Sure he's 27 but I'm good.
Like really good. Don't need him or want him.

That puts us more in the sellers category than buyers.
Always a pleasure to see reactionary, knee-jerk vomit spew forth.
What makes anyone think that Headley will be a great 1b? He may be adeqaute, terrible, who knows?
They will be okay if/when the pitching straightens out. It's up to JM, Seve and Tanaka (fingers crossed) to carry the load until CC comes back and they deem Adams or Sheffield ready. Or make a deal for a reliable starter. Meantime, some patience with these injuries that are popping up is in order.

More like watching the last two weeks of a team that is not ready for the next step to winning a championship. This year was about the rebuild and we as fans got excited with the hot start but this team is not ready and shouldn't stop the rebuild. Play the kids. Sell off the vets get more pieces for when you have a better team. Bring up the kids.
They can't really be sellers with the contracts they have hanging over them unless you want to move Gardy.
Saying they should be sellers is simply a reactionary comment - and a pretty asinine one, too.
Dead on. Had remarkable rotation health for the first 1/3 of the season, it didn't last. Had a number of hitters hitting well beyond the back of the baseball card, it didn't last. That said, they're plenty capable of potent offense and the bullpen will stabilize.
All have earned a chance in the show.
I would send down Refsnyder and bring up Anndujar. Defense couldn't get worse than it is.
There is huge jam coming up on the 40 man this offseason.
Jesus Christ, why tear apart a team that is contending?
This is fucking ponderous.

Give me whatever you're drinking. I want to get loaded too.
Are you out of your mind? Castro? Holliday? Gardner MIGHT go yet simply because he has a tradeable contract. Castro continues to improve and is only 27 and Holliday has been a true pro and mentor, just what they needed with these young hitters
Too many holes
* Starting pitching can't count on Tanaka or Pineda
Will CC be the same when back?
* Bullpen
* Injuries
* Defense
* Firstbase
The offense is basically Judge and Sanchez.
Hicks,Gardner,Castro,Headley,Holliday have all slowed
Sanchez plays 5 times a week and we have no one to replace his power when he sits.
Contending now but where will they be in a month? The strong start is fading fast. The whole point to selling is to accelerate the process of winning and winning it all. Hey I would love for this team to win it all this year but there are too many holes. And Judge has been carrying this team all year long if he slumps or comes back down to earth then what?
The Yanks have enough young players that they can play for today while developing players for tomorrow.
They already have a good balance, so becoming a "seller" seems to be grasping at some happy horseshit because you don't know how to handle a losing streak.
Freaking out over Sanchez getting a rest is another example. The guy is a fucking catcher.
You forgot no turn.
Anyway the adults are talking now so go away. Or add something to the thread.
Sellers or buyers in the hot topic now.
Looks like Elsbury is back soon with Hicks headed to the DL.
Too bad Fowler or Frazier won't get the chance.
That seems to be what is failing at the moment. Up until this losing stretch, I think it is fair to say they were pitching a bit over their heads. CC going down put a strain on an already thin rotation. Tanaka pitching the way he can will be a big help, but there are serious questions about the rotation, which were there at the beginning of the season as well.
Get 3 good starts in a row from Montgomery, Severino and Tanaka and everything looks rosy again.
Lets bat Judge 1st since he has the highest BA and OPS. Jeter hit first and he is going to the Hall of Fame. See?
As long as we are discussing just cutting right to the chase, Ive been saying for years that Jesus Montero is the answer. Ive had over 1000 posts on it. Saying for years based on his minor league season a few years back he will be a 40/120/325/400 guy and you guys should ignore his defense or over weight issues or other stuff we hear. Bring him up and trade Sanchez. Sanchez cant play everyday and now cant even hit 2nd in the lineup.
What? We traded Montero and he was a bust? Well then. Nevermind.
Then lets just cut to the chase and bring up all our minor league pitchers. What better place to master one more plus pitch or a repeatable motion?
Lets be bold and put the major guys in the minors unless they get better and bring up the minor leaguers to get better. Or sell them all. They lost yesterday didn't they? Lets act now before the next game starts
Come on. Lets have adult conversations about the Yankees. ( sorry Greg and FatMan. You have to leave)
