C'mon, Yankees! Lets win our first serious since mid June!
Yankees up 1-0
2-0 Yanks!
I thought Joe might sit him instead of Ellsbury today and put Judge at DH.

Really bad

Would have been a good idea in retrospect, given how our lefties are crushing this dude.
3-0 Yanks!
Lol that's literally about as far as he can hit it. At least he's gotten a few singles lately
Is the 1st base ump the ump that was behind the plate yesterday with the atrocious strike zone?
Mateo .360/.439/.628 in 99 plate appearances since being promoted to AA. Reached base in all 22 games. And how about these:
Domingo Acevedo (RHP) remains undefeated with the Thunder (4-0) with a 2.32 ERA in 54 1/3 innings with Trenton.
Zack Littell (RHP) is 5-0 with Trenton with a 2.25 ERA in 40 innings in Double-A (14-1 overall, 1.94 ERA in combined 111 1/3 innings).
Thairo Estrada (2B/SS) continues to pace the Thunder with 112 hits and his .315 average is tied for third in the Eastern League.
And at AAA:
Miguel Andujar (3B) is pounding the ball over his last nine games with three home runs, while hitting .412 (14-for-34) during the stretch. Andujar looks like a player to me.
Giovanny Gallegos (RHP) has thrown nine shutout innings across five appearances since returning from the disabled list. Gallegos has allowed just two hits, walked none and struck out 14 in the stretch.
Jake Cave (OF) has been an absolute offensive force over his last 10 games, hitting .444, with four home runs and 13 RBIs.
Billy McKinney (OF) has elevated his game since his promotion. He is hitting .339 with a .379 on-base percentage and a .613 slugging percentage in 66 plate appearances.
What a collection. We will need to make more trades of guys we would otherwise lose to Rule 5.
He's hoping Girardi finally gets the point and adjusts his thinking a bit. He's right
He's been bad today. Yesterday he hit 3 rockets and still ended up 1 for 4.
Me too.
Really hope Cessa isn't coming into this game

Need to get him going down the stretch.

Feels like he's chasing a lot but I'm not too worried about him. I would't have much more patience with Holliday though. He's 37. Could just be natural regression
Jacoby Ellsbury - 13 XBHs in 197 ABs
Go Chase.
Still possIble
I get he's got a chip on his shoulders, but he's playing us like we banged his wife and got her pregnant.
Bad analogy maybe but Ben Gamel is pissing me off lol.
He didn't need to run into Headley like that. Yea Headley was in the way, but wasn't necessary
A four game set in Boston, Minneapolis, and a west coast 3-1 win.
I will take it if it happens. (as if I have a choice right?)
Nothing. Joe pinch hit Toe-Reyes for him with a lefty on the mound and Toe came through with a single.
Pinch hit Toe for him with a lefty reliever in there
Joe's son pitch hit for him against a lefty with Risp
They pinch hit Torreyes when Seattle brought in a lefty
That's the second time in two outings, lol

I mean, I hate kicking a man while he's down but, damn. That's not a good look.
Go Chappy Go!
Go Chappy Go!
Our BP is giving me a tingling feeling in my stomach...
That is fucking terrible.
His leg just got rocked..
Dumb as fuck
Win. Great flight home.
Sanchez caught every fucking pitch of a 4 game series.
Haha. Dude you Crack me the fuck up sometimes.
Headley's splits tell the tale - as a lefty hitter, he still has a .382 OBP and .785 OPS...but a .549 OPS as a righty. He's still OK as a platoon player. Yeah he's pretty mediocre wherever he plays in the field now, but we don't have many other options.
Let's keep on winning.
So far, objectively speaking, we have one GM who can't win without a hefty payroll and a manager who can't win unless he has five aces in the bullpen.
Let's do something different, let's see what the youngsters can do. The Sawx are contending with a pretty young team, let's not mortgage the future for middling vets.

Are you fucking serious with this bullshit? The Sox gave up their best prospects for Sale. They also traded good prospects for Pomeranz. And signed fat ass Panda for a billion dollars. The Yankees meanwhile have called up a TON of prospects. But Boston calls up one guy AFTER FAILING TO LAND FRAZIER, which they tried to do, and they are the gold standard? Because the Yankees traded an A ball player for bullpen help? If you think Frazier was anything other than a throw in in that deal, you're even more clueless than you are coming across as being with this stupid ass post
1). Gardy LF
2). Hicks CF
3). Judge RF
4). Sanchez C
5). C. Frazier DH
6). Didi SS
7). Bird 1B
8). Castro 2B
9). Headley/T. Frazier 3B
With our ridiculous bullpen and one more starter (I think Cash acquires one), we'd have a team that could make some serious noise.

lol not to pile on but thats some nonsense. The Sox? they've been trading and discussing their prospects like its a tag sale since Dombrowski got there. The Yanks have used like 20 guys from AAA this year. That post almost rivaled the winner this morning who wanted to DFA Frazier and Holliday.

Hey numbskull - we would have called up Gleyber Torres instead of trading for Frazier had Torres not been lost for the season to a freak injury.
p.s.--Meanwhile Yoan Moncada--the #1 prospect in baseball--is hitting .077 since being called up.
My god, it's like I am posting on board full of high schoolers. Pipe down, what's the big fucking deal if somebody doesn't agree with you?

Because you have no idea what you're talking about. Your post basically said that we should do it like the Sox. Your entire post was full of bullshit, false statements. Own up to it. Don't call other people high schoolers for calling out your ignorance. Every single thing about your post was off base and blatantly wrong. Blame yourself, not everyone else.

Fuck Seattle and fuck the west coast. Good riddance.
Haha. Dude you Crack me the fuck up sometimes.
Thanks, man. You routinely throw out some hilarious zingers, too. Haha.
Boston did what we are doing now a couple years ago. They got a young core in place. They even tried to stock the pitching rotation with prospects, but a mix of injury and failure sent them scrambling to the trade and FA markets. We are getting that core put together and early returns are great, pitching is a big question but we have the money and the pieces to round things out if our kids falter. I just hope we don't go full throttle on a trade spree before we are actually competitive because we could end up like the Sox, good but without the real prospect ammo to put us over the top. Chicago had it last year and used it, though this year they are short in follow on talent and the pieces to plug holes.
Last I checked they've had more championship rings lately than we do.
I am not jumping all over the last trade because I am secretly hoping that maybe Cash and co. just soured on Rutherford. However, under no circumstances do I want to see Mateo and others traded for Darvish, Gray, or Bour.

Good post Dune, as usual. And I apologize to Jim for getting "snippy". I just cannot stand the narrative that Boston does everything right and the Yankees screw everything up. The Yankees have done a fantastic job rebuilding the system and bringing up the young guys when they are ready. Boston has traded most of their system in the past couple of years and absolutely would have traded for Frazier had the Yankees not stepped in at the last minute. Boston gets enough inaccurate love and affection from the media for being loveable, blue collar, low budget over achievers that it drives me insane when I see Yankee fans buying that nonsense.
Yankee fans should remember, for years our system sucked. The current embarrassment of riches isn't what we are used to and Cash shouldn't be trading the current prospects for rentals when, given some patience and prudence, these prospects can do the same jobs at fraction of the cost.
Hopefully now he finds a shelter to provide him with some food and water. And then a nice hot shower and a haircut and shave. That dude looks hideous.

Cashman was also over ruled many times by the Tampa segment. Cashman wanted no part of ARod signing that contract. He was overruled. Cashman has wanted to go this direction for a long time and was finally able to talk the clowns upstairs into letting him do it. Your anger is directed in the wrong direction.

Let me preface my post with I love Cash, he's a superb GM and don't love this mythical "Tampa Crew" Hal, Randy Levine etc...However there's a little too much of framing every bad move we've made over the past 10 years as something Cash was against and over ruled on. He has to take the bad with the good. He's been the GM here for 20 years. He has now set us up for a great chance at a contending run.
