at the beginning of the season. His velocity was down and he was getting hit hard. A back to form Kahnle would really help this pen out, which has not lived up to expectations.
A pitcher will be sent down to make room for Bird tomorrow. Not Austin.
Makes sense, who would you rather have on the team...Tyler Austin or Gio Gallegos?! Even with our starting rotation that doesn't go deep besides Sevy...we recently went two weeks where Cole and Hale pitched once or something crazy like that. So they really have to get rid of that 13th pitcher. If anything, with German now in rotation, bring up someone to replace Cole that is a long man. Having a long man to eat up b.s. innings will make carrying 7 relievers fine. Almost all teams carry 7 relievers anyway.
So my previous thread should have said would you rather have Cole or Austin? And a long reliever wouldn't be replacing Cole but either Holder or Shreve. Which probably won't happen since Shreve is out of options and Holder is pitching really well. So that does make it a little dicier. Not having a true long man, or a starting pitching staff that goes deep...does place a greater need on a 8 relievers. But still, 7 man bullpens is something new the past few years...used to be 6. So we really shouldn't need 8. And getting back Kahnle will only help.
the Yanks have had more bad ball/strike calls against them than any other team in baseball so far this season.
Not sure where their source is, doing some googly-moogly, but if that’s right, apparently it’s not just us being homers
I posted this the other night. Judge most no strike zone called strikes in MLB and Yankees most non strike zone called strikes.....stat cast
Interesting, thanks. To that note, so far tonight this umps zone has been pretty correct as far as I’ve seen, and the Yanks drew a couple walks bc he wouldn’t give this Angels guy an extra 6 inches

Gleyber Torres (21 years, 163 days) is the youngest player to homer in four straight games since Miguel Cabrera in 2004 (20 years, 362 days).

I don't follow baseball. I see it on ESPN and online. It's pretty scary that the Yankees are playing so well & Didi is in a high slump and Stanton doesn't seem to have reached his potential either.
My concerns with this team considering they didnt add a big time SP remain.
Playoff baseball is a totally different animal. Pitching is king. Not worried about the pen or long relief (despite some inconcsistency). But we need another dominant SP who will match zeroes with much deeper staffs like Houstons.
Ohtani wasnt coming here so you cant blame Cash for that one but the Cole miss looms large. Houston has now ponied up 2x first Verlander (which got them last years World Series) and now Cole.
We needed to get Cole even with an overpay. We have an embarrassment of riches of hitting. Giving up both Andujar and Frazier plus an Adams or Montgomery would have been worth it. Why? Because wed be a better overall playoff constructed TEAM with Cole but not those guys.
That can change things but Cole was young and cost controlled. I just dont see us beating Houston with our current starters. Playoffs are almost never about outhitting but outpitching the other team.
and busy with school, I can't keep up with baseball as much as I have in the past.
Who are the potential arms this year Cash might be able to swing before July 31? I agree with the above poster regarding Cole.
Cole Hamels is the guy I'd go for, won't cost a lot and is proven.
All the studs aren't available and I don't wanna trade the farm for a guy like Fulmer. Would rather reward Texas handsomely for Hamels when we want him

And (IIRC) the Judge thing is crazy 19% vs 16% next highest player (or was it league avg.?)
All Rise!
A little wild. Although the walk to Trout was basically intentional
Quote:
He's really labored in the first 3 innings. How does his stuff look?

His breaking stuff is off. FB is great. Trouble throwing the slider for strikes.
Pffft. Needed up higher. Blew the 1st one past him and it was up. 2nd one was a touch lower, but not a bad pitch.
This year, meh.
He's hitting .314/.388/.643 in May
You weren't kidding. Austin getting Judge treatment there.
Or the best small forward ever if he played ball
The guy is a beast! What a throw!!!

Judge in the OF
Sevy the Ace
4 super young stud pillars on each level of the team. All on a HoF trajectory
Ball one on Pujols was a strike...
But then, Gleyber
But then, Gleyber
Was thinking the same thing. And he's not the only one with pop ups...
2 runs tonight and win
We'll take it
Done...
2 runs tonight and win
We'll take it
When has Chapman ever hit his spots. He just kinda throws toward the plate and lets it go.
Change up was a beauty.
Think Green gets the win. Game was tied when Sevy left.
Quote:
Sevy gets the W, Judge with two big assists, Chappy the four-out save, and Gleyber the hero.
Think Green gets the win. Game was tied when Sevy left.
Yeah, Green got the win.
Judge...holy shit. That second assist was more impressive th a the first. Completely effortless. And an absolute hose from deep in the corner.

Especially next time a Red Sox pitcher throws a bean ball.
Are Didi and Stanton going through a slump right now?
...but was that guy out at home plate on Judge's throw?
He looked safe to me.

He was definitely out. The glove got the clear well before the foot was near the plate
Don't know what's going on with Didi. Just a slump? Injury?Personal issue? Looking over his shoulder for trade? (Machado)
He probably was just due a slump. He really hasn't had one since the first few weeks as a Yankee. I miss his perpetual smile.
