there's no let down after the Red Sox series.
I have a bad feeling about this game  
BigBlueShock : 5/11/2018 5:50 pm : link
Coming off an incredibly intense series with Boston, there has to be some kind of let down. Add to that, they are facing a scrub ass pitcher with an almost 9 era and you can just see the shutout coming from a mile away, lol.

Prove me wrong boys!
I can see us putting up a smooth dozen

I disagree. Porcello was a CY Young winner only two seasons ago and has been solid since joining Boston, and Pomeranz one 17 games last season and seems to do always do well against the Yankees.

You either dont watch much baseball, or you are just a defeatist.

Gray is having a bad outing. Tanaka is better than Price. Price has colossally disappointed in Boston. So the real comp is:

Sale v. Sevvy
Porcello v. Tanaka
Gray v. Price

I really don’t think so, it’s a wash IMO. Sale/Severino is a wash, but I trust zsevy more in the playoffs, Sale seems to fade late in the season. Tanaka almost pitched us to the WS last season so there’s that. And I 100% trust CC over Price in a big game.

Maybe regular season those 3 will grind more wins, but I like our guys, if healthy, come playoff time.

And have no idea what you’re talking about. I would take every single pitcher on the Yankees over David Price. He’s dreadful.

You really want a guy that invents injuries in order to avoid pitching against the Yankees? His “mild carpel tunnel” is so severe that he’s perfectly fine to pitch on Sunday now. He’s gutless and completely cooked.

winning cures alot but this team has struggled to hit and score early for a while now....

dropping didi isnt earth shattering the guy is 0-28....

needing a pitcher for top end of rotation is something i have been saying since beginning...this isnt "blow it up" "make changes stuff" its pretty common sense moves that should happen

a drastic shakeup isn't necessary. One or two changes maybe. I still think moving Gleyber up in the order would help. Maybe give Didi a couple games off to work out his problems, and have Toe play short.

In the end, it's on these guys to start hitting. Hopefully we'll get some soft pitching opponents in the next couple weeks.

you want softer than a 9 era?!?! we should have destroyed this starter tonight...i agree we will get some more favorable mathcups but this was really a shit show of a game for us. bullpen was horrible and we literally couldnt do shit for 6 innings....this isnt the first time either there were several games during the big run that we were like hiutless through 4.

we struggle to get to pitchers early

So exactly what top of the rotation pitcher are you trading for and who are you trading for them? A couple of low level minor leaguers for an ace? You realize a top of the rotation guy is costing you Gleyber Torres, right? And a shit ton more on top of that? Or do you think that the Mets will give up deGrom for a bunch of mid level prospects? Don’t answer that, I’m sure that’s exactly what you think....

well since youre a baseball GM, ill defer to you.

torres wont be traded....you can def get a fulmer or archer for a pair of prospects...
you act like a deal cannot happen lol.

besides the point, we didnt hit a DOGSHIT pitcher tonight....i dont panic, but to say ahh we won 17 of 18 who cares...ya and just as easily, we could have lost a bunch of those games. just an easy, we can go on another 9-9 run. the yanks are a VERY good team. imo, they add a top end of rotation guy and start getting to pitchers earlier in the game, they are going to be VERY tough to beat.

nobody is panicking, its ONE game, but lets not act like dropping didi a little or moving torres up a little is a omg panic move...its not
Hahahahaha  
BigBlueShock : 5/11/2018 10:23 pm : link
So you’re getting Fulmer or Archer for just “a couple of prospects”? Is that so? For crying out loud, man.

Ok, I’m done here. Not worth it. Good night

frazier/adams or sheff? thats not a "comical" offer at all...you can continue to believe what you believe but the yanks have some good prospects that they should move to improve the top end of the rotation.

how is it moronic to say we need a SP? lol

how is it moronic to say we havent been getting to pitchers early in games?

how is it moronic to say the bullpen was shaky?

how is it moronic to say gray is horrible?

how is it moronic to say didi should slide down a little in lineuip and torres up?

NONE of that is moronic, in fact a lot of it is common sense based on factual information

DennyInDenville : 5/11/2018 11:41 pm : link


Hicks is a 4th OFer, and a great one , switch hits, plays all 3 OF positions , great defense and speed. He's not a starter. Last season he was probly on roids.. or he just got hot.

Didi is not the superstar he was in April. He's still a star, but superstar talk is definitely on hold and put to bed for now.

Andujar needs to go to AAA, he is using Starlin Castro bats, first of all, design him his own bat w/o Castros name on it. Andujar is looking very very Similar to Castro at the plate, and I KNOW he's better then Castro and will be, but we can't ignore his bad habits at the plate. If he was a Vlad Guerrero and able to hit those balls out its one thing, but his habits at the plate need to change long term otherwise he's another Starlin Castro, maybe with a better winning attitude
We need Frazier back up here soon for some ABs in LF  
DennyInDenville : 5/11/2018 11:47 pm : link
Also get Gardy in CF some games

And to be honest, I'm ready for Drury to come back, Andujar can get his own bats made and learn to take a few pitches.

Austin after his AB last night makes me question if Boone even employs a take sign for these guys ? 6 straight balls, 2-0 and he swings at a trash inside changeup 6 inches above the dirt? Okay.

Sorry just angry and spoiled I guess

Jeff Weaver and Javy Vazquez. Two awful pitchers that didn’t work here. Add Gray to that list.
Aaron Hicks  
13ODB : 5/12/2018 7:37 am : link
What does this organization see in this guy? Can somebody explain to
Me the obsession. Good fielder that’s it and Clint Frazier should take his job immediately when he is ready to come up. Hicks is like 6 for 32 in the month of May with no RBIs and guy brings absolutely nothing to the offense never in the middle of any rally they have either.
I think that Didi SHOULD be dropped in the lineup a bit  
yatqb : 5/12/2018 8:30 am : link
while struggling. Walker is wielding a good bat, and if they want a lefty in between AJ and Stanton he'd be my choice in the short term.

Once Didi gets going again move him back to cleanup.
