NFT: Yankees (45-20 vs. Rays (32-37), 16-Jun-18 at 1:05p

Beer Man : 6/16/2018 9:31 am
1. Sevi vs. Stanek.

2, Nice MLB debut by Loaisiga last night. Gammons calls him a young Riveria

3. Cash makes it clear Gleyber is untouchable (so ESPN shut-up with the Gleyber for deGrom nonsense)

4. Nice game by SWB last night.
- Red Thunder with a HR
- McKinney with a 2B and HR (he suddenly has been raking HRs at quite the pace)
- Drury was 4 for 6 with 3 runs, 2 RBIs and a 2B (he is now hitting .344)

Great game by Sevy. 8 shutout without his best stuff. He's the Cy Young.

And good to see Gary had good hits in back to back games. Hope to see him get out of the slump.
Seattle beats Boston 1-0.

Yanks now 4 games ahead in the loss column (46-20 to 48-24). However that amounts to officially up by 1 game in the standings

LeBlanc pitched great, probably the best game of his career. Gave up a lead off hit to Betts to start the game and then retired 20 something in a row. Their closer Diaz is legit as well.

They've also won something like 20 one run games. Impressive and agreed, they're no fluke.

It’s amazing. We haven’t said shit to the Mets fans on this site, yet they continually have to tell us all how bad Yankees fans are. What am I missing? What fanbase doesn’t discuss their team in a game thread and call out players that don’t perform? You think Patriots fans don’t rip players when they suck? Red Sox fans? Are only Mets fans allowed to criticize players or coaches? Damn man, the whole mindset is just odd. Come on to a Yankee thread to rip the fanbase for daring having anything negative to say. Simply because his favorite team is an embarrassment. People suck

Much to my surprise, Greg Bird is kinda sucking. .213 with a .284 OPB. Meanwhile, Drury is raking spectacularly at S-WB, hitting .344 after 4 for 6 yesterday. I know it's at AAA, but still... Do they bring up Drury and give him some time at 1B if this doesn't change?

And Hicks is at .239, even with a .340 OBP that sucks. Will Frazier get some time eventually, batting .311 with a .964 OPS?

I hate seeing the talent languishing.

Drury has only played a couple games (ever) at 1st base and there is a world of difference between AAA and MLB with regard to pitching and BA. Not that Drury doesn't belong on a MLB roster and not that Bird is raking. Bird may take a couple months to hit well. I can wait.

Frazer is not a CF. Hicks is a very good CF with a ++ arm, great baserunning and some power. They can live with Hicks offense because of his defense. He is another that should hit sooner or later.

IMHO.

I can wait on Bird, too.  
manh george : 6/17/2018 1:21 pm : link
I have been a big rooter for Bird, because I love his swing. But he needs to start hitting for average eventually, or he needs to at least be platooned. And, I've seen that they are giving Drury practice at first.

From the NY Post (linked):
Quote:
We are getting him reps at first and kicking around second [base] as we build versatility,’’ general manager Brian Cashman said at a Hope Week event at P.S. 73, a few blocks north of Yankee Stadium, early Wednesday afternoon before the Yankees hosted the Nationals in the finale of a two-game series. “Obviously, what Andujar has done at third base, we will see if we can create a path to get [Drury] back here if there is an injury at third or on the versatility side of it.”


As the Post notes, that could be the prelude to a trade. My issue for the Yankees is that he has value either with them or as a trade tool--and that I hate seeing a talented 25-year-old stuck in the minors.


I agree that Hicks gets some extra credit for being a superior CF. But an OPS the same as Torreyes ain't so hot. I fear that his swing is too noisy--big leg kick--and he may never really settle in as a hitter. The noisy swing was a killer when he came back from injury last year for the playoffs. He looked lost at the plate. He ended up hitting .196 for a .564 OPS for the entire playoffs.

Bird is basically already platooning

Would do a hell of a lot better if they would just not chase bad pitches.

Is it me or does it seem like Stanton in particular takes pitches right down the middle early in counts and then swings at shitty pitches late in counts?

Are they up there guessing or just not identifying pitches like they should?

Shitty offense? What team have you been watching all year?

They're scuffling right now scoring but they had some chances. It's not like they went down 20 guys in a row or something like that or haven't been getting on base these games.

Take a few deep breaths and relax a little. There's a long way to go, and they'll score plenty before all is said and done.

I think everyone knew he was going to try the backdoor curve and the guy went out and got it.

Going opposite way if that is where the pitch seems like the lesson for this season so far.

Who made Marcus Thames the batting Coach? He was a lousy hitter himself so how can he coach anyone? Right now just pitch Yankee right handed hitters low and away and they will become human windmills. They keep trying to pull that pitch instead of hitting it the other way. Fire Thames and bring in someone who really could hit ML pitching as your batting coach. How long are we going to watch catchers set up on the outside corner on a 3- 2 pitch count... and then they swing at it almost every time... and it is not a strike 90% of the time. This team does not have the plate discipline of the 1998 Yankees...sorry but that team was just plain smarter at the plate then this one is. You would think they would wake up by now... in particular Sanchez and Stanton.

Bill2 : 6/17/2018 11:04 pm : link
kinda agree with that last post.

I assume Sanchez is just lost but I am not seeing a smart plan from Stanton considering he was the MVP in the NL
Charlie Lau was a weak-hitting catcher in the majors,  
yatqb : 6/17/2018 11:16 pm : link
but one of the most influential hitting coaches of all time. Amazingly, you don't need to be Ted Williams to teach hitting.

I have no idea whether Thames is a good hitting coach or how hard he works at his craft, but the Yanks aren't idiots, so I suspect that he's better than the results that the team has shown.

As for Stanton, I have no idea how he managed to hit as well as he did last year with such a closed stance. It sounds like he knows that the stance must change, but he's said he can't do so in mid-season. I really don't know why not, but who's gonna tell the reigning MVP with a 10 year contract to do something he doesn't want to do?

Stanton changed to the closed stance mid way through last season - and that is when the HRs started flying off the bat. So there is no reason he couldn't square his stance up a little bit tomorrow.
Sounds like he doesn't want to alter it.

They are homer or nothing. In the last 20 games they have only scored more then 5 runs 4 times and have not scored double digit runs, But they are 14-6 in that span which means the pitching is doing it’s job,yanks have been winning games because they are getting very good pitching. Even Jack Curry said on the post game yesterday the Yankee offense has been frustrating to watch and yanks are winning because they are getting good pitching. and another thing it’s not like the Yankees are facing all star pitching staffs the offense should be a lot better then this..people ignore the offense because they are still winning. And before people call me a moron for complaining about the Yankee offense and how the Yankees are 46-21 so why am I complaining. Boston is not going away and I don’t want any part of that one game playoff we need to win the division something the Yankees haven’t done in 6 years.
Yanks are 3rd in runs scored
