I know they obviously don't believe in "hot" but we have two guys who have both hit HR's in three straight games and they're both sitting out tonight? Am I alone in thinking that doesn't make much sense?

say there is no such thing as a hot streak. I took a grad course in behavioral economics and we spent some time on it. That said, as a former basketball/baseball player, I still believe in getting hot despite what the smart people say. I guess it's my dumb ape brain refusing to believe the truth.

I guess I have one of those brains too because I definitely believe in a guy getting in a good groove.
If you listen to a guy like O'Neill he's said many times when he was hot it was like the ball was as big as a beach ball and he couldn't wait to get to the park that day. I'd assume most players feel the same.
I guess agreeing with him offends some posters here though.

I don't know how to explain it, hot streak cold streak whatever...all I know is there were times the ball looked the size of a beach ball and they're were only 3 people in the field and other times it was like a pea and there were 20 people out there. Same in goal...there were times I felt like nothing could get by and others when I prayed no one would shoot on goal.
We've seen this story where you complained about the lineup for a year. We won 100 games. Maybe they know what they're doing?
They obviously do know what they're doing. I'd just rather see our best players play as much as possible against the better teams. Is it out of the realm of possibility had they played a little more last year we could've done better than 100 wins and pressed the Sox for the Division? I don't think that's an unreasonable thought.
I've got no problem sitting Gary tonight ( even though I thought he would sit day game after a night game like normal) since he's caught so much recently but Gleyber is only 22 and unless he's got something bothering him I'd prefer to see him play tonight and ride his hot bat.
We've seen this story where you complained about the lineup for a year. We won 100 games. Maybe they know what they're doing?
Exactly. He’s been bitching about the lineup every single day since last season. Whether it’s the lineup, batting order or “hot” players getting a rest. You’d think the fact that they win almost every time he complains would be a wake up call. Yet, here we are. Like clock work.
I don't want this team hitting stride until the playoffs. We've done well lately, but is this ten years without a ring? I'm a ring chaser. Not a 110 regular season wins chaser...
By resting him Sunday instead of tonight Gary would have 48 hours rest until Mondays game whereas when he plays tomorrow he will have rested for 12 hours less or 36 hours counting from last nights game until Sundays afternoon game. ( actually even less)
Secondly I can't see him hitting Verlander as well as tonights pitcher but I haven't look up his % against both guys. But its probably a safe bet. Romaine will be Romaine no matter who pitches
when you would actually see fly balls to the outfield that didn't carry out of the park. We are now routinely seeing balls being golfed out that have no business getting out.
See Josh Reddick.

I'm happy for Vinny the Astros fan from Brooklyn in the stands. Â

It goes both ways.
Since we have legit power hitters, i'd rather they leave the magic baseballs in the minors. This shit is just boring. The actual power behind the ball doesn't even matter with this ball. If they barrel it, it's gone. Dee Gordon or Gary Sanchez.
God I missed Judge in RF. That throw to gun down Stassi was a thing of beauty.
these damn clowns. Why are national broadcasts sans Buck so painful to listen to? Why isn't one of these networks paying a ransom to have Costas train up an army of minions to call a damn game properly?
Baseball might consider moving the fences back a bit Â
The announcer said it's a hit if it "bounces in the glove." Huh? So if a ball bounces off the 2nd baseman's head and the right fielder catches it on a fly--never hits the ground--it's not an out? Same thing.
RE: Sanchez is really good at framing that outside fastball Â
Yep. But even if the Yankees lose tomorrow, they did what they had to do. They got the 3 out of 4. Sure, a sweep would be lovely. But winning the series and avenging that 3 game sweep in Houston earlier in the season is very sweet.
He's a very good reliever, I like him and I'm glad he's here. But he is not good for your heart health if he is on your team. Jesus. He got the job done in the end, though, so that's all that matters.
That is 6 straight against two very, very good teams. Let us not lose sight that this a a very good Astros team and that they and the Rays have low team ERAs...
Yes Britton was rough again, but he had the meat of the order up. Pretty damn good meat, too.
On here back when the astros swept us, saying we don't measure up to them. Well we're still not at full strength but outlook looks different now. Granted, I still want to see them against Verlander and I do think we need to add a good starter to have the edge in the playoffs. Right now, the winner might be whoever has home field.

Houston also knocks the s%^t out of the ball. Plus they can pitch. Nothing easy about winning three of four from them. Could be four of four tomorrow!

Houston isn’t the same without Correa and Springer, and you missed Cole this weekend.
But obviously this Yankees lineup is fucking impressive and a tough out come October and the Red Sox stubborn bizarre indifference towards upgrading its lousy bullpen (while only throwing Barnes against meat of orders ... every night) has made this easy for Cashman and team
Has to be a better answer than Holder. Anybody have a clue as to what it might be?
FWIW, think how bad Green was earlier in the year. Think of how he has been since game or two after returning. Rothschild may be able to get him figured out. Holder does have options.
I don't know. he was so effective until a month ago.

How sad that they're missing two guys and on a long losing streak. Well we still don't have sevy, betances, and andujar is gone. We were far more depleted when they swept us, yet someone here openly stated the stros superiority, and we never had losing streak that long with far more injuries.

I feel like Ottavino doesn't know where his pitches are going half the time because they have so much movement.
I swear watching the ball on TV with those cameras up close on it, his pitches change their rotation a few feet after they leave his hand. Yeah physically impossible I suppose, but that's what it looks like.
That last pitch, Altuve must have thought it's gonna take that same wicked break to the outside, and be way out of the strike zone since it was heading right for the outside corner of the plate anyway. Then it efffin broke back inside sharply for a clear strike, and back doored Altuve. That was a magnificent pitch - intentional or not.

Ottavino out of Brooklyn NY and a high school classmate of one of my kids. Great to see him on the Yanks.
to send Holder down. He got his slider/change from a coach down there, I don’t think Rothschild is doing him any favors here.
Britton refuses to throw strikes, it’s so frustrating. With his movement, just throw it down the middle and watch it break.
Is Acevedo hurt? Wonder why they don’t call him up to AAA...
Acevedo just transitioned to the pen this spring- I think they are trying to get him adjusted to the back-to-backs and lengthy outings they would need.
The secondary numbers he is putting up are pretty solid- even though he had several bad outings in early-mid May. He has only allowed .192 BA against. They are using him in high-leverage situations- ergo the 7-1 record.

Met fan lurking Yankee game thread claiming Cashman and the Yanks have had it last night and this season?
- every time I think Urshela is turning back into a pumpkin he does something meaningful with the bat.
- as someone who wouldn’t mind if he never saw Romine play in a NYY again, that was a huge spot and against an excellent RP. Credit where it’s due.
- Voit with some really solid defensive play. He’s never going to be Tino, but we’ve just about reached the point where everyone may stop reflexively parroting stuff about his defense.
- Holder should be sent down. He simply is not good, at least right now.

Others have already pointed out how ridiculous your post was.
Lets go through some of the Yanks that were or are on the injured list.
Severino
CC
Montgomery
Paxton
German
Betances
Bird
Andujar
Sanchez
Stanton
Judge
Hicks
Didi
Maybin
Tulowitski
And others
Yeah, the Yanks have had it easy.
Holder has 8 ER in his last 5 appearances (10 R in last 6 games) Â
He needs something. A pep talk or something. Get his head on straight. He needs to just write off this year stats-wise (he's nearly matched his ER total from last year in half as many games), and pitch like a motherfucker. He's got a devastating high fastball. He's got the tools.
hoya, et al: do you think it's something he can work on in the minors? Is it his offspeed/breaking stuff that's the problem?
It's just weird to comment on an in-season game thread Â
can’t believe it’s even brought up to somehow excuse their level of play.
Those poor Astros. How could they possibly win with two guys injured? We won’t even mention that 2 of the Yankees best players, Torres and Sanchez didn’t even play last night, yet they somehow managed to win the game. 3 starters sat out Friday. Yet, they won the game.
My heart bleeds for the Astros. Yankees have had it so easy this season....

Compared to the Mets roster, it is kind of unfair...
Our ace (Sevy) hasn't made on single pitch this season yet. And same for one of our very best relievers over the past few years, in Betances. Imagine what could happen if he had our ace this entire season and Betances.
They overcame Non-Holder and even Britton in the 9th.
One I am not surprised about, the other needs to get his
walks under control, too many.
Just keep on going, hopefully they get to Verlander today.
then caught the next 3 on the phone (promised the wife I'd take her to the movies) what a crazy last 4 innings! Nuts that Stanton had almost identical 2 run singles. Just watched all the highlights on MLB network. Funny I'm 51 and I don't think I've ever in my life heard announcers national or otherwise whine about one of the visitors hitting a porch job. Its only applicable when Gio does it, not Alvarez or Reddick...

Haha funny enough, I’d promised the lady we’d go see Rocketman last night, 9:30 show...I got a couple glares for peeking at my phone during the movie to see how the game ended. Oops.
Is there any way to watch old timers day online? Â
So many great plays. Judge gunning the guy at second was my personal fave. What was that guy thinking?
With Gio, it's gotten to the point where excellence with the glove is so expected it's routine. I feel like I'm watching Nettles' spirit reborn in another body like a Hindu. That play - was it in the 9th or 8th - where he charged a hopper, barehanded it and fired to 1st in pretty much one motion and got the runner clearly by half a step - it just looked routine.

Ef them. Porch is there for all. It's not like they move the stands between half innings..jackasses.
When the Red Sox move the left field ball back 50 feet Â
the Yankees can move their right field seats back 50 feet. The Astros play in a tricked up stadium they have nothing to complain about. At least they took the hump off the field.

Bingo. When Sox fans are ready to admit Pedroia was a league average player (career OPS away from Fenway = .759) who’s career was made hitting fly ball doubles off the monster, I’ll listen to their complaints about the short porch in Yankee Stadium
is trading Frazier. I don't want to trade him, but I also have this feeling we've already seen his ceiling. He's a good player, not a great one, but is probably at the height of his value. I'd also throw in a guy like Andujar with the emergence of Urshela.

May not be necessary to trade Frazier unless they are getting a top of the rotation pitcher. They may have to, but it is not forgone.
I do not think he is topped out either. His defense will improve and his patience at the plate will improve once he gets comfortable and not pressing to stay in the Bronx.

I think he will improve, but I don't think it will be significantly. I'd still love to hang on to him. But, they may go all in on a starter, especially if Severino won't be back to form.

I get the frustration, but it's a long season and catching probably takes the greatest physical (and mental) toll of any position.

That is 6 straight against two very, very good teams. Let us not lose sight that this a a very good Astros team and that they and the Rays have low team ERAs...
Yes Britton was rough again, but he had the meat of the order up. Pretty damn good meat, too.
Houston isn’t the same without Correa and Springer, and you missed Cole this weekend.
But obviously this Yankees lineup is fucking impressive and a tough out come October and the Red Sox stubborn bizarre indifference towards upgrading its lousy bullpen (while only throwing Barnes against meat of orders ... every night) has made this easy for Cashman and team
You’ll have to excuse us Yankees fans if we aren’t weeping because another team has a couple of injuries....

That last pitch was a beaut on so many levels. Great call and great execution.
I feel like Ottavino doesn't know where his pitches are going half the time because they have so much movement.
I swear watching the ball on TV with those cameras up close on it, his pitches change their rotation a few feet after they leave his hand. Yeah physically impossible I suppose, but that's what it looks like.
That last pitch, Altuve must have thought it's gonna take that same wicked break to the outside, and be way out of the strike zone since it was heading right for the outside corner of the plate anyway. Then it efffin broke back inside sharply for a clear strike, and back doored Altuve. That was a magnificent pitch - intentional or not.
Ottavino out of Brooklyn NY and a high school classmate of one of my kids. Great to see him on the Yanks.
Different hitting hero each night. This team is pretty good. Good thing they don't need those home runs anymore.
After 20 years of Mo, you still think about Wetteland?
Jeesh, I forgot all about Horace Clarke's crap range, glove, and bat after maybe 3 years of Willie Randolph.
...leather last night!
Britton refuses to throw strikes, it’s so frustrating. With his movement, just throw it down the middle and watch it break.
Is Acevedo hurt? Wonder why they don’t call him up to AAA...

Like a bad movie, can't get it out of my mind:-)

Acevedo just transitioned to the pen this spring- I think they are trying to get him adjusted to the back-to-backs and lengthy outings they would need.
The secondary numbers he is putting up are pretty solid- even though he had several bad outings in early-mid May. He has only allowed .192 BA against. They are using him in high-leverage situations- ergo the 7-1 record.

Met fan lurking Yankee game thread claiming Cashman and the Yanks have had it last night and this season?
Lulz
- as someone who wouldn’t mind if he never saw Romine play in a NYY again, that was a huge spot and against an excellent RP. Credit where it’s due.
- Voit with some really solid defensive play. He’s never going to be Tino, but we’ve just about reached the point where everyone may stop reflexively parroting stuff about his defense.
- Holder should be sent down. He simply is not good, at least right now.

Others have already pointed out how ridiculous your post was.
Lets go through some of the Yanks that were or are on the injured list.
Severino
CC
Montgomery
Paxton
German
Betances
Bird
Andujar
Sanchez
Stanton
Judge
Hicks
Didi
Maybin
Tulowitski
And others
Yeah, the Yanks have had it easy.
hoya, et al: do you think it's something he can work on in the minors? Is it his offspeed/breaking stuff that's the problem?
Those poor Astros. How could they possibly win with two guys injured? We won’t even mention that 2 of the Yankees best players, Torres and Sanchez didn’t even play last night, yet they somehow managed to win the game. 3 starters sat out Friday. Yet, they won the game.
My heart bleeds for the Astros. Yankees have had it so easy this season....

Compared to the Mets roster, it is kind of unfair...
...leather last night!
So many great plays. Judge gunning the guy at second was my personal fave. What was that guy thinking?
One I am not surprised about, the other needs to get his
walks under control, too many.
Just keep on going, hopefully they get to Verlander today.

Yea we should feel so bad about another teams injuries since we have been injury free all season....My god dude.
Haha funny enough, I’d promised the lady we’d go see Rocketman last night, 9:30 show...I got a couple glares for peeking at my phone during the movie to see how the game ended. Oops.

With Gio, it's gotten to the point where excellence with the glove is so expected it's routine. I feel like I'm watching Nettles' spirit reborn in another body like a Hindu. That play - was it in the 9th or 8th - where he charged a hopper, barehanded it and fired to 1st in pretty much one motion and got the runner clearly by half a step - it just looked routine.
Ef them. Porch is there for all. It's not like they move the stands between half innings..jackasses.
Bingo. When Sox fans are ready to admit Pedroia was a league average player (career OPS away from Fenway = .759) who’s career was made hitting fly ball doubles off the monster, I’ll listen to their complaints about the short porch in Yankee Stadium
May not be necessary to trade Frazier unless they are getting a top of the rotation pitcher. They may have to, but it is not forgone.
I do not think he is topped out either. His defense will improve and his patience at the plate will improve once he gets comfortable and not pressing to stay in the Bronx.

is trading Frazier. I don't want to trade him, but I also have this feeling we've already seen his ceiling. He's a good player, not a great one, but is probably at the height of his value. I'd also throw in a guy like Andujar with the emergence of Urshela.
