NFT: Some positive news - NY Yankees

B in ALB : 9/19/2017 11:45 am
Let's talk about the Yankees folks. They pulled out a 1-run win last night and if they win tonight they will equal the 2016 win total from last year.

CC on the bump tonight - game is on ESPN.

That's all I got, fans. Trying to stay positive after last nights ass blasting.
I'm sick of teams blowing big leads to Boston

That fucking team just isn't that good. The Yankees should be leading the division.
The Yankees are 17-25 in one run games

which is just nuts considering our bullpen should be a strength.
Chapman is satrting

to look like Chapman of old. Robertson is always solid. Need Betances to straighten out his game (head) and we will be a difficult playoff match.
Chapman's been dynamite this month

Best he's looked all season, by far. Betances has to be relegated to low stress situations for now, until (if) he can get himself straightened out. Warren should be back soon, which will help. Green and Robertson keep doing their fireman routine, Chapman's got the ninth locked up, Warren gives you quality depth. Kahnle's been much better lately, too. That gives you five relievers you should be able to trust.

Since I want to indulge my anger, I spent some time looking at the Sawx schedule and results section at BR. Those assholes are 14-3 in extra inning games. Annoying as hell and the definition of unsustainable.

most incredible yanks team stat continues to be run differential.
We are now 2nd in all of baseball at +175. Only the Indians are better at +222. We slipped past even the Dodgers, and have blown past the Astros and Nationals. All of those teams are 30+ games over .500, we are 16. The crazy thing is that the Nats had huge pen problems up until the deals they made at the deadline so you can't say its the pen that has dragged us down. As you guys talked about its totally the inconsistency in hitting. We really are feast or famine, and the pen has blown enough to drag us down. Oh well we can't change whats in the past. As I said before I like the place the team is in now even having to probably play the play in game. I feel that this is very similar to the Giants-Cowboys last year. We proved head to head we were at least as good as them but we just couldn't get any help from anyone beating them. Same with the Sox right now. They are literally reaching as deep into their ass as they can to pull these games out right now.
baseball's weird

Yankees are a collective 33-21 against Bos/Bal/TB, but only 6-7 against the putrid Blue Jays. 2-5 against the even more putrid A's, too.
Yea the Sox absolutely beat up on the crappy teams especially at home  
Stu11 : 9/19/2017 2:17 pm : link
they barely ever drop a game at Fenway against a shitty team. They also caught Cleveland before they took off. All that said those 2 godamn games we blew back to back in August- Sunday in the Bronx and Friday at Boston really haunt us right now.
the sox are an amazing 14-3 in extra innings.  
Heisenberg : 9/19/2017 2:19 pm : link
That has to be a bit of an anomaly.
or any number of other games where they had a late lead  
Greg from LI : 9/19/2017 2:38 pm : link
and blew it. The Machado home run game in Baltimore, for example, or all those games Clippard tanked back in June.
Yankees baby

Ahhh. Good news indeed.

Too bad the sox keep winning too but, Chapman being Chapman is HUGE

HE DOMINATED LAST NIGHT
The vets really playing well  
DennyInDenville : 9/19/2017 2:42 pm : link
Even Ellsbury, he's been incredible lately..

Maybe this is our year..
I like how Severino is already lined up for the one game playoff  
DennyInDenville : 9/19/2017 2:43 pm : link
Weather it's van boston, twins or Angels etc.. Sevy is our man.
Ells has played some of the best baseball he's played as a Yank  
Stu11 : 9/19/2017 2:55 pm : link
this past month or two.
What? The thread I started
