NFT: Yankees at Indians game 4 8/6/17

section125 : 8/6/2017 1:11 pm
Another clown lineup today. No Sanchez at all. Sevy has his work cut out for himself vs Carrasco...
How good a glove is Clint Frazier?  
nyjuggernaut2 : 8/6/2017 1:14 pm : link
Wondering if he can maybe play CF going forward. Hate having Gardner DH and taking away his gold glove from the field, but would much rather have Frazier in the lineup than Ellsbury.

Not sure he is a CF. He looks in limited time to be a decent fielder with a strong arm.
Any line up with Ells is weakened...
Crazy as it sounded 2-3 weeks ago

Frazier back to AAA when Hicks returns is probably the right move, IMO.
If Ellsbury

aaaand as usual Yanks down 1-0

Don't worry- Joe has the solution to or hitting woes. Put out the shittiest lineup possible.

too many pitches.
Hey Carrasco so happy you showed up like this Tuesday

When they gave you 5 runs to work with in the 1st inning vs. the Sox...
One of those team-wide slumps

Where scoring 2 runs seems like an insurmountable hill to climb, and it's the 4th inning

The O's are pounding a Tiger's staff that dominated us Tuesday and Wed. As I mentioned the Sox pounded the Indians for 2 days. Judge is completely lost right now. This is 2016 Judge for weeks now.

Double down the line for Aaron Hicks in his second AB.
Judge is seeing the same two strike pitch

You hate to say somebody's  
section125 : 8/6/2017 2:05 pm : link
head is up their ass, but Judge's is. Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcoming. Two at bats, two strikeouts on sliders low and out of the zone.
Hey Aaron

Its really bad. I almost feel that they should get someone to just throw him sliders in BP just so he can reacquaint homself with how they look when they are diving outside. He looks completely lost is right. Samchez too.

Give me a break with this  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:37 pm : link
This defense narrative has gotten out of hand. Romine just failed to block a ball because he tried to backhand it. I don't see anybody ranting about how lazy he is.

The team can barely scratch a run across, and we're putting a nothing player who can't hit into the lineup so we can send a message in the middle of a playoff race. It's unacceptable.

Joe's affinity for catchers that remind him of himself (can't hit but try hard) has gotten out of control.

don't tell me to can it. He's thrown out 14% of runners this season (awful). His catchers ERA it was posted the other day is a full run higher than Sanchez's, so the idea that he calls a good game isn't supported. And he's nothing special at blocking pitches, as we just saw.

Happy?

Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 2:47 pm : link
if I'm harping on this too much. But Sanchez is a big part of this team's present and future. He has certainly struggled at certain aspects defensively this season. But he won't get better sitting on the bench. And the net value of Romine coming in I don't believe is worth benching Sanchez for in a playoff chase.

But I'll drop it now.

Come on Chase, we need a hit

Nit picking, but he needs to be more efficient. maybe stop with "waste" pitches. He's been 0-2 and 1-2 several times and got to 3-2.
He's a weapon on the mound. Would like to see him stay there an inning or two longer.

No question. And if they do have to play the wild card game, he'll almost surely be the top pitcher in that game. Unless the Indians lost the division and were throwing Kluber, something like that.
Severino's ERA now down to 2.92

Have to hope that if they're in a wild card spot that they have enough of a lead to line up the pitching for Sevy to be available in the WC game. Could be tricky if they have a week of basically must-win games leading up just to make the WC game.

I really hate that it's 1 game. The season is such a grueling grind that it feels like anything less than a 3 game series is an arbitrary result.
Love to see exit velocity on that.

That was hit so hard.

Can't believe they went with two straight fastballs 0-2 and didn't test him with another slider. I'll take it
That's true, hoya  
Kyle in NY : 8/6/2017 3:24 pm : link
But with Gray behind him and Tanaka throwing a lot better, they should have three pretty good options to start that game. Figure they can get one of them lined up.

Yep. 98-100 mph or a devastating slider and changeup. And he's 23 so still learning to pitch. I think once the changeup becomes more confident in his mind he can go for it more often.

For sure. I think we can lose sight of just how young these guys are, I'm guilty of it too. Judge, Sanchez, Sev, Frazier, etc. They've shown us what they're capable of and raise our expectations, and we sometimes forget that they're still learning and adjusting to this game. There will be ups and downs.

But it'll be fun to watch the journey

They have about 4 or 5 guys that could close - Chapman, Betances, Robertson, Kahnle and maybe Warren or Green. So having 2 sets of BP groups allows him to almost go odd and even teams. Of course he can mix an match and in reality it is nothing but idle speculation on my part.

from avoiding overuse of his 7-9th innings guys, to getting them enough work. Cashman added length among starters AND two key new live arms. So, he used one today. BFD. Girardi has a philosophy for his bullpen. The fact that some people disagree doesn't make it awful.

Kyle, it is not about throwing runners out. It is about him being a good back stop. Yesterday he stopped at least 5 balls that I would not have,been comfortable with Sanchez fielding. That high and outside Chapman 100 mph fastball in the Bottom of the 9th with Brantley on 1st I am sure would have gotten by Romine.


This is great news that they are sitting Sanchez to send a message. I wish it was for more than 1 game, but he has to understand that his approach behind the plate is unacceptable.

Agreed Choppy. Don't want Sanchez to be complacent in not trying hard to block pitches, which is what he looked like for a long stretch. Hope this fires him up and he plays harder behind the plate as well as in the batter's box.

Yea that whole "he added 8-12 lbs of muscle and thats why he cant get to balls" thing was horseshit. Its not that he was too slow to balls, and was just late to the spot. He was trying to get bouncers and without throwing his body in front of them.

dune69 : 8/6/2017 5:54 pm : link
about the 5th inning. I took my wife out for some afternoon events. When I left, BBI was disgusted with this team, their effort and performance. When I get home, I find out that we've score 8 runs and trounced the Indians.

Maybe I should stay off the game threads.
I could do without the overanalyzing of any ball that Sanchez  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/6/2017 6:04 pm : link
doesn't block. Romine didn't attempt to block one in the dirt today and there was no drawn out analysis or attempts to call him fat and lazy.

The piling on with Sanchez has been a bit much lately. I could see if we were talking about a vet, but the guy hasn't even been on a major league roster for 162 games yet. I guess patience and understanding that 98% of young players are going to struggle and look like shit at times is out the window. These are probably all of the people who wanted to put Sevy in the bullpen. I have little issue with Joe wanting to sit Sanchez for a day or two, but he could've done a better job of heading off the media's bullshit.
I guess I should be a little fairer to Joe.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 8/6/2017 6:09 pm : link

IDK, how much better can he get? Slightly more power or slightly higher BA? Maybe take a few more walks to get the OBP higher would be the most likely.
I'd venture

a guess that Hicks will be coming up. Maybe sooner than they'd like, but they need a live bat right now. Hicks is my guess.
per RAB, Hicks is joining Trenton to continue his rehab

Its probably a lefty/righty thing Girardi had mentioned that because he's a switch hitter it takes extra time to get his timing back. Maybe Trenton is facing the side pitcher they want him to face. Either way its probably a matter of a few days at this point.
Montgomery

Really don't like that Garcia is replacing Montgomery. Garcia has much more experience then Monty but IMO, Monty is just better and will likely improve.Garcia is mediocre,nothing more.

Monty may be on an innings limit, which could affect the decision.
Yanks could throw a bullpen game one day if needed

Game 7 of the World Series, Severino pitched game 6 and threw 122 pitches he has two days rest and Cash says let him throw 45 pitches.

Gray and the rest of the staff all tripped over oily floors in the pitching room and have back spasms

Severino gives you 1 IP throws 31 pitches, 1 hit 1 BB 2 KO 0 runs

Girardi brings in Warren 2 IP 2 hits 2 K 0 runs

Then Kahnle comes in pitches 2 innings 6 Ks 1BBs 0 hits on 38 pitches
Betances comes in for 2 IP 6 Ks 0 runs
Robertson comes in the 8th for a perfect inning 3 ground balls
Chapman closes out the WS. 51 pitches in 1 inning, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts, 2 passed balls, 1 wild pitch, 3 runs, Yanks hang on
Or could use Green instead of Sevy on short rest

I hope you posted this after a long night of drinking...
I don't think Joe

would be crazy enough to let Sevy throw 122 pitches, at any time. With the bullpen set up the way it is, chances of Severino being in the game that long are pretty slim.
What you'll see if we get in a playoff series is Joe going to the pen  
Stu11 : 8/7/2017 8:13 am : link
real early without hesitation. Say we are playing Houston game 2 or 3 and Tanaka isn't getting shelled but has given 3 runs into the 5th and we're losing like 3-1. He won't hesitate at that point to get 4+ or 5 out of the pen figuring if they can keep it right there we can rally for a few runs over the last 4 or 5 innings.

An article the other day stated that the team would like to bring Hicks back when they return home from the current road trip. If SWB is going on the road, the Trenton gig may be to have him closer to New York.

Agree. I'd venture to bet that he will only go 3 to 5 innings a game at SWB, then return to the Yanks after 9/1 when rosters can expand.

Greg Bird has started hitting in the cage and will start fielding and running drills next week. If all goes well he will start his rehab assignment in 2-weeks and could be back at the end of the month. Seems like he will need more rehab time, but we will see.
