My dad, a life long Yankees fan turned 80 today, so win one for him Yankees!
They are all hurt.

What is this nonsense? No starters?

Listening to them, sounds like it might be a strategy (copying Rays). Green, meanwhile, is getting killed. Hook. Send him back down.
WTF is this?
Quote:
What control, that green guy. How can CC stand being in the same locker room with him?
WTF is this?
I was thinking the same thing. Weird stuff.
Today, Green has a 1-0 lead and he tries to throw a breaking ball to Kiermaier and he hits it out.
Why are you losing on your weaker pitches?

Nothing wrong with the pitch selection, just location. Seeing a lot mistakes leaving the park and excuse me swings.
Less hoping now. What a circus this is!
Why don't you use yours and go someplace else. The Mets are looking for fans. Thanks in advance.
As talented as he is, he's by far the most frustrating player on the team for me to watch day in day out. I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed.

on Analytics and how stupidly they run the games. The Rays have 2 hitters and the Yankees keep letting those same two guys abuse them. Maybe hire another 50 laptops and hopefully one of them will understand how the game of baseball works.

Aside from your unpleasantness, arniefaz makes a decent point: are there no intentional walks any more for hitters who are killing you?

Rarely done and do you walk a guy with two outs and nobody on? The one homer was a two strike count that is mind was a lunge at it swing. The second was a porch job, basically a pop up out in 29 other stadiums.

Do you actually think it's a good idea to intentionally walk a guy with two outs and no one on base?
People don't believe in miracles??? Just saw one.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Turned on that one and crushed it.
Quote:
is an awfully big guy to have such little power. Thought that one was gone off the bat.
Same.
Last at bat HR help a little?
Turned on that one and crushed it.
See, I dissed him earlier about lack of power and he crushes one....keep the insults coming.
Foul ball to the nuts earlier in the game...
Gio got hit in the balls. Fouled one straight down and it bounced right up and caught him in the jewels.
I'm sure he'll be fine, but it probably hurt pretty bad.

Why not? Doing fine. The more innings the better. Hope he has any easy three outs and we all walk away happy.
Do they put him in the rotation for the time being? We only have 4 starters to run out there until Paxton gets back and that won't be for at least a couple of weeks

I wasn't complaining. Just making an observation as they showed him real quick before going to commercial.

Might do the opener thing again. Paxton has another bullpen session Tuesday. If it goes pain free he may be back Friday or Saturday.

Paxton will probably need a rehab assignment next weekend before he returns

I don't think so. He's missed two starts?
Said LeMahieu had little power sand he crushed a HR.
Was pissed at Torres weak at bat and hot dog fielding play and he made a nice play in the 9th to get the force at 3rd and the rbi single in the 6th.
Urshela got hit in the plums
thank you!
That is amazing. Really enjoying the ride. I hope it lasts.
No, what you really have to laugh at is that you never get tired of completely embarrassing yourself.
Great win. What a run! This is a team to be proud of. I can’t believe they can even muster the energy to get out of bed in the morning with the way the shitty, overpaid analytics team, completely clueless manager and idiot of a GM have run this team into the ground...
That’s awesome. Happy b-day to your father. Hope it was a great one.

agree, they must be aching for this season to be over with and move on to the next team...:-o
fingers crossed. A week or two until Stanton is back.
Not as excited as if it were Judge, but yes I'll happy to see him back. Just to give Gardner and Frazier a break.
I was actually feeling Frazier has lost his mojo and needs a little time off or a trip to SWB.
But:
LeMahieu (2B)
Hicks (CF)
Voit (1B)
Stanton (DH)
Sanchez (C)
Torres (SS)
Ushela (3B)
Frazier/Maybin (RF)
Gardner/Maybin (LF)
is starting to look like a MLB lineup.
1st place is a nice gift. :)
Jints record is pretty damn good this season. May make the all star game.
Happy Birthday to your Pops
Aaron Judge said it’s “obvious” he won’t be fully healthy the rest of the season while he deals with a strained left oblique, but he will return as soon as possible.
“You don’t have time to get all the way there,’’ Judge said Friday before the Yankees’ 4-3 comeback win over the Rays in The Bronx.. “It’s the season. You’ve got to get back. Once I’m healthy enough to get back in games, I’ll get back out there.”
He still hasn’t resumed baseball activities, and Carlos Beltran, a special assistant to general manager Brian Cashman, said Thursday an oblique injury like the one Judge suffered on April 20 will impact him all year. The two recently had a conversation about it.

Yeah saw that. Hard to believe you can play with a pulled oblique in any way, shape or form.
Got in late so I'm watching the replay. That was some play by Gleyber. I know we shake our heads at some of what he does, but that was Jeter-ian.
...wow, what a pick up! Probably the most consistent every day player the Yankees have on their 2019 squad.

There is absolutely no doubt that Torres is special. But he also has to stop making unnecessarily stupid throws especially with Luke at 1st. Luke is very much better picking balls out of the dirt this year compared to last, but he'll never be Mattingly or Tino. Yes some throws get away, but he needs to be certain on his throws and minimize the chance of a bad one.
Maybe a bit of a nit pick, but why take chances.

With Torres, I think a number of the errors come with him being in his early 20's and not having a ton of game experience. Give him 3-4 years and he will learn when to throw, when to hold, and how to "cheat" a step on defense. He will be fine- he just needs to play day in and day out. The skills are there- experience does the rest.

If you are a Yankees fan right now and shitting on ownership, Cashman, Boone, analytics, then you are really fucking tone-deaf, intentionally trolling or a complete moron.
If you can't enjoy this stretch of baseball, the real question is, when will you ever enjoy it?
In Frazier's case, he needs to play. However, with Hicks back, Gardner not going anywhere, and Stanton soon to be back, it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep him in NY, where it might become a platoon situation.
If the injury plague did not occur, he would likely have stayed in AAA and received 300-400 ABs before getting called up.
Remember that the Yanks reworked his swing, but then he missed most of the season with the concussion. He needs ABs in a more controlled environment where the impact of an 0 for 4 isn't as big a deal as getting the swing right is.
Send him down and give him several hundred ABs and we'll see him in September.
The team is in first place despite half the starting lineup and their expected two best starting pitchers being out.
New owners would just give new fodder for his dumbassery.
huge hit, hope Urshela is feeling better, ouch.
I get the sense that Brett Gardner is looking to jack the ball over the fence. I seem to recall him being much more a slap hitter when he came up and for several years after that.

he does something big at the plate to buy himself some more time. He does need his playing time reduced to keep him fresh and because day to day he's not that effective, but he had a great game yesterday.

He ambushed the pitcher on the first pitch on his HR,
hoping Stanton is back by the end of the month.
At this stage, Gardner would be better off playing less.
It's not that his performance overall has been anything to write home about - but with Hicks starting the year on the shelf and missing over a month, Judge and Stanton getting hurt and missing significant time, Frazier needing a quick IL stint - Grandpa Gardy just keeps answering the bell and has done everything asked of him. He's gone back and forth between LF/CF, he's batted basically everywhere from leadoff to 3rd to the bottom of the order, and he's had a knack for a well-timed HR.
He hasn't been our best player, but we've really needed to lean on Brett this year so far and he's been durable and done a really nice job. In retrospect, it's a good thing we brought him back.
...talk about taking one in the shorts.
Ouch!!!
Many years ago, a teammate did the same thing, but only worse. He fouled one off his in-step and somehow, some crazy way the ball also nicked the plate and rebounded right into the family jewels. He went down like a shot, and just for good measure sustained a fractured bone in his foot.

Gardner has been very important to the team for years, but one has to think this season is his swan song with the Yanks.
I would really like to see the Yanks keep Maybin around for a couple years as a 4th OF. He really isn't starter material, as the bat never developed like projected, but he does play everywhere defensively and has some speed left.
I think he would not complain about being the backup OF on a good team with playoff chances every year now that he is 32.
But, for now, it's been nice to have him - we've really needed him. A lot more than anyone would have hoped, but the reliance on him should continue to wane with Stanton on the way back, Hicks already here and Frazier having earned consistent AB's before his injury. He's been ice cold since, but he's just got to keep fighting through it. I think he'll be fine.
I like Maybin - definitely more than Tauchman. And I wouldn't be opposed to him sticking around for depth. I guess what happens with Florial this year as far as when he gets back, how he performs in Trenton, etc. will also determine what the OF depth looks like going forward. I don't know how willing Cashman will be to move him - perhaps he's part of a deal for pitching help this summer if we go that route (hopefully not for Bumgarner... I don't think that's the right move)
Is there any timetable for Florial's return? Without RAB around any more, I lose track of stuff like this.

I believe he had the cast removed about 2 weeks ago and is supposed to be resuming baseball activities really soon if he hasn't done so at all already.
(Not having RAB anymore really is a bummer)

I think to really appreciate Torres you have to compare him to Rosario who is a year older. They had similar prospect rankings coming up. Top 3-5 guys. Keith Law called Rosario the top prospect in baseball in 2017 and MLB.com had him at #2. He was suppose to have MVP talent. So far he has been a huge disappointment. His OPS has never reached .700 and he never developed the power Keith Law thought he would. I believe his WAR is the second worst for a starting IFer in all baseball this year to Travis Shaw but Shaw has the excuse he was probably playing hurt.
