where are your friends prdave and Mike Graves to lament this Yankees team?
Great comeback. Having concerns about the glaring weakness on the team leads to responses like this. No response to a legitimate question posed. We haven't pitched well. Our ERA is in the bottom half of MLB for the past week and is middle of the pack for the season.
It's one thing to say the starting pitching is a weakness, I agree Â
It's another to ONLY talk about the weaknesses on the team. aces is a shitty poster and I don't take his criticisms of the team seriously because he never says anything good.
If you don't see how the starting pitching has been better lately, you're just ridiculously entitled.
why? because I disagree with you? I do not only talk about the negatives. I mention the starting pitching a lot because its a huge hurdle for this team to win a WS. Basically everything else is in place which it why it bothers me so much.

Comparing the last week to historically bad pitching makes us entitled? They still have pitched to a 5+ ERA over the last week. Its concerning that they very well could be in a hole after an inning or 2 come playoff time. As good as their lineup is, its far from ideal.
He is a super star. A cornerstone player for 10+ years. It was such an unbelievable trade. The Yankees has their eye on him a long time. They tried signing him originally.
Im going to tell all of you that our starting pitching is a concern relative to the rest of the strengths of the team.
I will also find any slight worries, negatives, perjoratives, assertions of downsides that I can find and post them during losses.
I will refrain from celebrating, acknowledging, praising, pointing out positives or posting during wins
In return for this original, insightful, near Patent Office level flood of brilliant scintillating information that none of you has ever seen elsewhere - I want acknowledgments of my brilliance, never to be modified, challenged or noticed as a worry wort pessimist at best and an annoyance at worst.
You can begin the string of praising posts for my contributions to these threads, your fandom, your knowledge, the New York Yankees and your lives.
Please do this quickly for I have to leave soon. Mr Cashman himself has sent a limo so I can address the Analytical Team of the New York Yankees at a dinner as soon as the Tampa contingent gets here on their private jet.
What really matters isn't how they are pitching in July or August, but how they are pitching in October. A guy who is struggling in August could be dominant in October and vice versa. It's such a long season. All of our starters have been dominant at times, it just comes down to whether or not there are three or four of them in top form come October. Obviously you have better odds of that happening if you are starting Verlander, Cole, and Greinke, but the "probabilistic" difference isn't as dramatic as you think.
Ron Guidry in 1978 had the most dominant season a Yankees pitcher has had during my years as a fan, but when it came to October, he was very hittable, not the same guy. And we've seen pitchers have mediocre seasons but be dominant come playoff time (this could be Tanaka maybe). So while I would gladly trade our starting staff for Houston's or LA's, it's not unfathomable that our guys are pitching better than their guys with 200+ innings on their arms.
And I'd add: I'll take Tanaka in the big game. Dude rises to the occasion. And we may get Sevy back. And German looks good. It's baseball. In the short run, anything can happen.
If you have no concerns about the pitching you are clueless.
Same. And as well it should. It's not very good and we're going to be facing better lineups in the postseason.

6-4
Cole as big a prick as he may be needs to be a top priority.
He is a super star. A cornerstone player for 10+ years. It was such an unbelievable trade. The Yankees has their eye on him a long time. They tried signing him originally.
I expect their incompetence to continue well into the playoffs.
And those guys are fucking savages in that box.

t's gotten worse now. Half the team has been thrown out of the game by umpire sensitivities. How to ruin a game.
That a big frustrating side effect of these shitty umps.

He got F'd on far too many outside pitches
I imagine the Yanks have the resources to do an analysis backed by video and send it to the Commissioner's office.

Exactly. That's why half the dugout got thrown out.
There are times to get on the starting pitching. Today isn't one of them.
PS Puig is a funny guy.

The end of an era...
