NFT: Yankees at White Sox 6/16

from Paxton

lose? What a weak ass lineup. I swear he tries to see just how weak a team he can field and try to win. If I were Paxton, I'd sue for support.

No day off before seven games in seven days vs Rays and 'stros.

Thus the lineup.

And the WS have a tomato on the mound so still a good chance for the W.

Is interesting that Frazier and Gardner are 4-5, when the assumption is the former is going to the minors and the latter is going to the bench.

by Torres and Frazier....geez

Was 2018 yankee offense like. Gotta score there.

It�s suppose to rain every day this week. Maybe one of the rays games gets rained out tomorrow night looks bad

.

I read it on BBI a 100 times. Unless it's a pitcher the Yankees might trade for then strikeouts matter more than anything.

There will be no pitching around our one up. No easy outs.
I would like to see

3b LeMahieu
RF Judge
Lf Stanton
DH Encarnation
1b Voit
C Sanchez
SS Didi
Cf Hicks
2b Torres

If Torres can play a good 3b then switching him and DJ would be best. DJ is a better 2b.

Moncada after being up 0-2?

Judge will still be in AAA. He is a little behind Stanton with rehab.

Yea but it starts tomorrow with Stanton back.

Both hitting and pitching.

Giolito and Kopech will be a great 1-2 top of rotation

And Abreu and Anderson with Jimenez and Moncada form a nice core

Plus they have P Dylan Cease 2b Madrigal and top prospect OF Luis Robert coming closer (a year or two).

Plus their payroll is only 87 mil this year.

comes through again against with this turkey.

Gardy drills a 2 rbi single. Abreu effs up cutting off the throw home that probably gets Voit..muchas gracias.

with rbi single....3-1

Second guessing now.

Lol

I sure am.

.

Romine comes through..5-1

strike on Anderson and he gets a bloop single just over Voit's head and Abreu breaks his bat for another cheap single. First and third two out.

hop snag and force out by Urshela...

is borderline outstanding today. Lots of bite and drop. Whatever he was struggling with previously he appears to have figured it out.

and getting torched. Don't know what happened to him

2 for 3 and 4 RBI

today. He met his monthly quota in one game. 7-1

Just goes to prove, the more we disparage players and managers, the better the play.

Cortes was a bullpen saver for the most part last night.

It almost looks like he is practicing pitches, looking for something. Like a spring training start.

prefer to use the pen

Get a few more runs and cruise on in.

Gave us 6.

Quote:

On Thursday night in San Antonio, Sheffield never made it out of the second inning, giving up eight runs on eight hits, including three homers, a walk and three strikeouts. It dropped his record to 2-6 with a 6.87 ERA in 12 starts and one extended relief appearance for Tacoma. In 55 innings, he�s allowed 59 hits and 42 runs with a whopping 41 walks and 48 strikeouts. In those 12 starts, he�s pitched past the sixth inning in just two. He�s failed to make it past the third inning in his last three starts, giving up 20 earned runs in seven innings for a 25.71 ERA with 11 walks and eight strikeouts. But most scouts are quick to point out that Sheffield is only 23. His stuff and athleticism are still above average. But there�s a belief that his projection isn�t for 2019 and possibly not as a starting pitcher but as a reliever. That would be a setback of sorts for the Mariners, who are counting on Sheffield to be a part of their future rotation. They targeted him as a key prospect when the decision was made to trade veteran players in hopes of adding young talent to the system.

Six good ones, too.

HR game streak....19 in a row and now 8-2...

Wow double eff up in that post - Maybin and 9-2

we let him go

He may not be long for this Yankees team, but he belongs on a roster.

That is surprising. 11 HRs and 30 rbis. Except for the BA that is pretty decent.

How a batter produces runs isn't that important as long as he produces runs. How a pitcher produces outs is important since he can take his defense out of the game through strikeouts. But this probably just went over your head.

There is some talk that Kevin Reese pegged him as a mediocre reliever cause he felt he would never develop control and at 23 it was unlikely he would show that much improvement unless he completely rebuilt his delivery. Also his stuff hasn't been as good in the last couple years. That is why the Yankees moved him despite being their #1 ranked prospect. Reese was a former Yankees farmhand who is now their Director of Player Development.

He just proves us wrong.

Take his defense out of the game through strikeouts? Actually by pitching quickly you keep your defense in the game. I'm sure Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander (to name a few) may disagree with your assessment.

I'd prefer NYY DFA Cessa before Maybin and use a 4 man bench for a while... I'm assuming the first 2 moves for EE and Stanton are Tauchman and Frazier to AAA Scranton. The Maybin decision does not have to be made until Judge returns later in the week.

If I were Paxon I�d start pitching like an ace. Boone�s lineups are fine, fans need to get over it and pitchers need to pitch well regardless of who�s in the lineup.

Yankees fans are becoming insufferable with the constant lineup bitching.

Scranton for EE

Clint Frazier optioned to AAA #yankees

hide him until a trade or injury. Everyone knows how good his bat is, no need to showcase him if he hits a slump in the bigs.

hope we trade him where he can be in the major leagues. He doesn't deserve to still be in the minors. That post game interview was rough

It�s been that way since day 1 around here. There�s venting and then there are yankee threads.

BBI isn�t alone though. I can�t go ten minutes talking Yankees without people bashing Boone. He�s been terrific.

Some kind of a trade involving Frazier for a starting pitcher is imminent then. No reason to stash him in AAA otherwise as he doesn't belong there

He got away with it today. Have to give him credit. But I do think he can spread the days off a little better so he isn't removing three big bats in the same game. They are being smart resting guys before the Dog Days. And he is extra smart to keep an eye on Didi. His throws have not looked so good since he has back, I'm sure there is some residual trepidation.

And I'm fairly certain Paxton is pitching as well as he can no matter who is in the lineup.

Judge, Voit, Stanton, Sanchez, Encarnacion...how do you pitch to that
