is nothing to be ashamed of. Nor is a 62-33 record at the break, obviously. The losses in Baltimore are really annoying. But I think Boston literally never losing right now has everyone on edge feeling like this team is really in trouble, when any other season they’d be 5-10 games up at this point.

Playing without Sanchez and Torres on this road trip is a huge blow that can’t be overlooked. Get healthy and come out firing after the break. Schedule is pretty light before heading to Boston beginning of August. Shave a couple games off before then and we’ll be fine


Yea? check out boston's schedule out of the break. Another 2 weeks battling the Lilliputians they play .900 ball against. we don't play really good ball out of the break and we may find ourselves 6 or 7 down heading into Boston.



And Boston has a ton of home games in the 2nd half of the season.


I guess the season is over then.

It’s a crappy loss, the team looks tired, we split the series, life goes on.

Wait, what? Where did I say that the season is over or anything of the like? Stating that Boston has alot of home games in the 2nd half? That doesn't mean it's impossible. Holy over-reaction.

or he threw too many pitches, I would say, "Sure, why is he pitching this second inning?"

- Green threw 8 pitches in his first inning.
- The only hit he gave up was because Didi went to cover the bag.
- He got Lindor to fly out.
- The Yankees made 3 outs against Carrasco with record speed (THE REAL PROBLEM)

He came back in and gave up the HR. Maybe he should've been yanked right after that, but there was nothing before that to indicate he shouldn't pitch to Brantley. He's been good in 2018, but not as good as he was last year. Oh well.


All good points and I'm not disagreeing with any of them, except I think he did his job in the 7th and that was all we needed from him. Getting Lindor out to end the 7th was huge and I think he lost his edge after that. He didn't need to go out for the 8th with Betances ready and plenty of other arms as well.

Another game I probably wouldn't feel the same about it as I do today. With the break coming it was a questionable move to me.

Um, Boston does have the better team thus far. Are you disputing that? That doesn't mean I'm all of a sudden going to stop watching the games. Stating another team is better than your team means I'm no longer a fan and have given up?

Great logic there.

- Outside of the rookies, has anyone on this offense played as well as they possibly can or as consistently?
- We lost a grand total of TWO series to teams with winning records and Tampa didn't even have a winning record when we lost that series to them.

We had an excellent first half record wise. There's no reason to be morose about the team.

I agree and I said as much above. Normally a record like this at the break would be celebrated and they’d be running away with the division. It is what it is. The team looks tired and is missing key players. The losses to. Anti ore are inexcusable. In the end, I’m still confident we can win the division.

Exactly. Nothing is 'over.' Stating that the Red Sox are the better team (at least thus far) isn't giving up, either.

Well said. We’re 5-5 against the godawful orioles. Red Sox have been sweeping away the lousy teams. Yanks have had the upper hand head to head against every AL contender in the 1st half, including the Sox.

Don’t see the need to panic now...at long last Bird’s gotten hot, Stanton’s set up for a monster 2nd half, Hicks and Gardy have been hitting well, Didi’s back, and Sanchez and Torres are back soon.

We need a SP, as discussed as nauseum. Otherwise, this team is set up to contend all season, and if we have to go the wild card route, so be it.

Yankees are 12-8 without Sanchez and 6-4 without Torres they are not losing these games because they are out.the starting pitching and bullpen has not been good lately blame that. Guys like Stanton Gardner and bird had a great road trip. Yankee pitching was terrible

I think the majority of us here do have faith in this team and expect them to challenge for the Division right to the end. No one is giving up on that or at least very few of here are.

It's just frustrating when they lose games a lot of us feel they shouldn't have. It's one thing to get beat, shut down by a great pitcher, lose because of a great play or whatever. It's another when it feels like we lost the game and didn't get "beat".

At least that's the way a few of these games lately have felt to me. More like the Yanks lost them than the O's or Indians won them. I've got no problem tipping my cap to another team when they outplay my team, I just didn't feel that way on this trip on at least three of the losses.

Come on. Not to sound like a homer, but everyone in this thread is thankful to be a Yankees fan, especially over a franchise like the Mets and how they are run (no offense to Mets fans, just making a point). You are allowed to be honest without going crazy, and I see very few here going crazy. Just annoyed with how often Boston wins and some of the losses to bad teams we've had. That is allowed. It's not going crazy and it certainly is not giving up. Why people go to such extremes here is something else..

to lose, but I think the negativity about the Yanks is a little bit overkill. The team isn’t built as a one grasp at a title type of team. We are in for long sustained success hopefully. I am not giving up on this year at all, just saying the future is very bright. If we get on a roll second half and Boston stumbles a bit it’s gonna be tight. So much to be optimistic about including guys that haven’t even made it to the show yet. Don’t let emotions over a couple of games ruin a really great time to be a Yankee fan.

This was the biggest news of the day. If this is the Tanaka we get we have 2 legit playoff pitcher + 4-5 innings of CC. Obviously health can effect that gameplan but assuming the health is there, I’m comfortable with it. I’d like another starter but I almost want another BP arm instead, take our chances with the 3 man playoff rotation and target a pitcher in FA.

I'm in total agreement with you guys and Adams post above too. Good posts and I'm looking forward to some more fun threads after the break.

I like our chances and if the 2nd half is anything like the 1st, this team is going to give us lots of good things to watch.

But it isn't honest to act like this is a bad team or that the Red sox are a juggernaut that has left us without hope, and that's exactly what many of you are saying.

I go back to when the Yanks were 9-9 and the usual suspects were just being "honest" about Boone being in way over his head and that the season was a shitshow.

Fans rationalize that when they bitch it is OK because they are just being honest or rational, when in a lot of cases, most cases - they just sound like whiny asswipes, usually without any point to make at all except frustration.

I generally like Stu's take on baseball. He points out what improvements we can make and he recognizes that we are at a crucial part of the season in terms of contesting for the division. That's being honest.

The rest of the people complaining sound like reactionary dickheads.
