Boone has to mix and match. I don't understand all the moaning and groaning outside of one specific person who has a VERY pro-Girardi/anti-Boone agenda.

This team is 30 games over .500- yet if you read the Negative Nancies on this board on a daily basis, you would think they were 30 games under. Get a grip Nancies.
I have no idea why anyone cares

And I can bitch a good game. I hope they can keep Sanchez and Judge on the bench until 100% healthy. They are no worse than 2nd WC and likely no better than 1st WC.

I also think they should shut Frazier down for year and get him ready for next season. Those concussion symptoms will not go away without rest.

It's not a huge deal, I'm just not sure why he's moving players around so much. He has a different guy batting cleanup every day. Stanton in the 2 hole has been one of the only constants since Judge went down.

At least he trusts Walker in RF - seeing Robinson in the lineup every day was getting tough to stomach. Guy sucks and doesn't even look like a major league player.

I think Kyle said he looked like a guy that won a fan contest to travel with the team for a day or something... honestly made me laugh because of how dead on it was.

Anyway, let's start up another streak here.

Players like a routine. The swings in the order are pretty dramatic day to day.
"Good News" - Walker was sick the other day he sat after the two HR night. So Boone's hand was forced.

I guess for me it just never made sense to juggle an order like this. Fine...we're missing 2 big bats. That doesnt mean the whole order should be shuffled game to game to me. Baseball players like familiarity and moving things around all the time just annoys me.

I for one have been complaining about the recent stretch of games because they've look uninspired on the field. But I have been encouraged by even the smallest of bright spots hoping they wpuld go on a tear. Here's to that.

Question: does Loasiga get vaulted back into the rotation when he returns from injury even if Lynn continues to pitch well?

If that was the case I think he’d do it less. We can’t just assume he players don’t like it. Or, maybe Boone doesn’t want them comfortable in the traditional sense.

Hard to critique something like this, too many variables and personalities.

If it didn't matter, why do most teams keep their lineups/batting order fairly static. Have you seen other teams move 5, 6, 7 players around day to day? Is it metrics?

He's squeaking out wins, so it shouldn't matter, should it?Does it make the opponent uncomfortable? I suppose after the 1st time thru the order, it does not matter.

But it gives us something to chew on.

I cant quote anybody, but I can almost guarantee players prefer to have a steady spot in the line up. You know whrn you're gonna bat inning wise. You gain a familiarity with the guys around you in the order... "If this guy gets on I need to take a few to let him try to steal." "The guy behind me is good with driving in runners so I just have to get on..."

I know when I played I liked batting in the same spot (although I always batted lead off, lol).

Haha yeah that was me. He also looks a lot like Cashman, maybe that’s what got him on the squad. Sugar Shane getting a rest today, he’s earned it

arcarsenal : 8/12/2018 12:47 pm : link
It's the same deal - once again Luke Voit is playing because he's a right handed hitter and nothing else.

Greg Bird hit two doubles yesterday. Unless they want him to be a straight platoon player, keep him in there. He's going to have to learn to deal with lefties.

Sometimes you have to stop worrying so much about what the book says and just play your best players. Voit sucks and the Yankees are putting a lot of trust in Greg Bird to be their guy for the long-haul at 1B. If that's the case, these are days where he should be playing.

MookGiants : 8/12/2018 1:01 pm : link
if Cashman wasn't part of the lineup construction on a daily basis. Not saying he is the one that makes up the lineup every day, but i think he's part of the decision making process each day when it comes to the lineup.

He clearly wanted a puppet as a manager and someone who was completely analytics based.

Yeah chopper that's pretty much my take on it too.

I'd want the players to be as comfortable as possible so they can just play and not think too much. There's enough in game situations they have to think about, and if they don't have to think about how guys around them approach at bats, and instead just know from it being the same most of the time, then I think that's a good thing.

It's not a huge deal by any means but something I'm not crazy about.

I do like seeing Miggy moved up to 3rd today because he's earned that. I hope he grabs that spot by the throat and doesn't give it back just like he's done with his starting spot.

Singleton has been saying recently how Stanton is a huge routine guy and does things the same times and ways pretty much every day. He thought it was just a matter of time until he got comfortable being on a new team and all the changes that go along with it.

It sure looks like he's settled in and comfortable now and has got his routine down. Now he just goes out and does his thing.

He's been looking great for a while now, and has stepped up big time while Judge and Sanchez are out.

Ironically, he's the one who DOES seem to be left in the same lineup spot almost every day. He's been in the 2 hole pretty consistently since Judge went down and seems to be very comfortable there.

Another note worth mentioning re: Stanton - as someone who’s been considered injury prone by some in his career (the fastball to the face was a freak injury), while he’s been DHing a lot due to a leg injury, he is still in the lineup every day, huge with Judge out.

Mook, it's fine. I wasnt really upset. I recognized you popped off a bit and I did too. I actually didnt mean anything by me saying "I never liked you." I got caught up being called a drunk. Anybody here who has met me will tell you I like to imbibe with the best of them. But I got pissed because I thought it was a cop out and in fact I had had only on glass that night.

I should've been more perceptive to what you were going through. I dont know whats going to happen to me and living life properly when my folks go. I don't envy you what you went through. I apologize for not sucking it up and understanding where you were at.

We're both Yanks fans and we were going thru a pooper. Im all good.
Real nice win...

He has a .222 lifetime batting average with over 500 at bats. I wouldn't argue why he isn't in the lineup. Yanks should have gone after Bour from the Marlins.

Bird posted an .871 OPS as a rookie in 46 games - he's had trouble staying healthy and playing consistently since.

It's not the end of the world that he was out of the lineup today, but I do think he's got to play about as close to every day as possible so that the Yanks can figure out what they have here and how to address the position going forward.

There's talent there - the guy hadn't even played over 50 games in a season until this one. But he needs to play.

Woulda coulda shoulda, it doesn't matter because he's not here. I agree with arc, not a huge deal but he needs to play and should get the majority of the playing time at 1B because he's the best they have.

Drop him in the order if he struggles but keep playing him, and give him a shot at getting it together. If he does it will be a real big boost. If not he's still better than Voit.

Plus he's shown he can get it done in a big spot, and to me that can't and shouldn't be overlooked.

Bour is hitting .227 this season and is an absolute butcher in the field. He was just traded to Philly for some no name Mackenzie Mills. To be a “bench bat”. Boy, the Yankees really missed out on that golden opportunity!
