On the mound, Johnny Lasagna faces off against the greatly diminished King Felix
Boone said last night that when Gardner is healthy he leads off against righties. Frazier would then sit. The lineup might be better with Gardy in there.
No thanks to dealing for the Hamels of the world I'd rather target high upside guys not working out at their current teams that are cost controlled. Hopefully not another Sonny Gray but I'm fine with gambling on pedigree

None of the pitchers you have listed are worth the Yanks considering trading a lesser prospect like Wade for, let alone Frazier.
I would much rather leave German in the rotation, and if another injury occurs, let Loaisiga and Sheffield battle it out to fill the spot.
The vast majority of the Yanks recent success has stemmed from trusting their own prospects to get the job done. Except for Wade, that faith has been rewarded- in vast amounts more than anyone anticipated.
Now it is time to trust the Yanks SP prospects to get the job done instead of making a panic trade because the guy is a "name." German has justified the faith put in him. Loaisiga probably needs another 3-5 starts to earn it- but if he doesn't, let Sheffield get his turn instead of looking at a guy who won't move the post-season needle.

If Frazier shows hes contributing at the ML level and already shows he owns triple A...he can be a centerpiece for a SP. Not a rental like JA Happ but maybe a lefty like Danny Duffy from the revuilding Royals or a high upside arm like Taillon/Glasnow from the Pirates that the Yankees brass can fix up. Also a big fan of Jon Gray if we can get him away from Coors.

Totally agree. A lot are concerned about the post season. Yet last year the offense was the problem. Plus, is Happ better than German. Who knows. How about waiting a few more weeks at least. On the MKS they were talking about what Houston did last year getting Verlander. The problem is there isn't a Verlander available this year. I don't see the Mets getting rid of Degrom or the Giants getting rid of Bamgaudner. Every day he else is pretty much a lateral move and your giving up prospects.
p.s.--All these years I've been flushing my warm piss down the toilet! I had no idea I could get something in return for it.
Domingo German already very good? - ( New Window )
Oh, wow! I even get a welcome photo. Thanks!
It's Lasagna night - let's go!
I agree that he's looked excellent lately, but we'd be foolish to assume that will continue into his next start, let alone for the rest of the season. If it does, that's great. But Cashman should be preparing for all possible contingencies.

You can't teach speed and you pretty much can't teach stuff. Looking at how German's ball dances, it is just a matter of him commanding it. I hope he continues to drink Sevy's koolaid.

In fact, he seems to be improving each time out. Maybe he is getting comfortable. Maybe Rothschild is teaching better mechanics. Whatever it is, he seems to be getting a grasp of what a MLB does. He was just so smooth last night. It was effortless.
I still think they need to make a move for a hamels or happ. obviously im taking thor, degrom, bumg over them and that would be my first two calls
He's also gone 6 or more in each of his last 4 starts.
I want to see how he continues to progress - I agree no one can assume he will just keep getting better by default, but something definitely looks like it's clicking. The whiff rate is elite right now.
There's definitely something there.
Hot garbage...hope this isn't a WTF night.
Double Lasagna!
He looks good.
It's right up there with another man's fries - ( New Window )
Yeah, he definitely should've gotten to 2nd. Judge with a bad read but did a good enough job in the rundown for Didi to get to 2nd.
Just saved 2 runs.
@RailRidersTT
Anyelo Gomez will undergo shoulder surgery soon. Done for the season.
Yup. Really bad. Balls that should have been strikes. Balls called strikes that weren't strikes. And the zone just isn't consistent.
Somewhat true. But Lasagna has nothing tonight. Cannot throw a strike.

He has been as inconsistent with his calls as I can remember seeing

ok give shef his shot haha....deadline is rapidly approaching
Like Tyler Clippard he has worn out his welcome........
Same here. I have zero confidence in him but had my fingers crossed maybe I'd be wrong. Nope, he serves up a cookie on 3-2 to a lefty who his only job is to get out.
Got a big hill to climb now.
Felix has been fairly awful this year. No reason not to put some runs on the board.
Indeed. Shreve is trash.
