NFT: Astros at Yankees GDT 10/17 Game 4 ALCS

Jints in Carolina : 10/17/2019 4:16 pm


Let's. Fucking. Go.
No Stanton again

They really value  
Kyle in NY : 10/17/2019 4:22 pm : link
splitting up the right handed bats if possible. Hicks has had good ABs since coming back so I don't mind it. Just find it interesting.

Disappointing not having Stanton in there. Don't know what else to say at this point.
Big Game Jints on the bump tonight!  
mfsd : 10/17/2019 4:22 pm : link
At least Boone listened to BBI and moved Torres up in the lineup

Stanton’s inability to stay on the field is an issue for the offseason...tonight we roll with the guys who got us here. Let’s go Yanks!!
As close to a must win as you can have.  
BlueHurricane : 10/17/2019 4:44 pm : link
Lets go!!!!!! Hope the fans make Greinke shit his pants.

How does he not give it a go? Is he available to pinch hit? Reports are he was running in the outfield looking okay...
no Stanton

and no one called up to replace him? Don't get me wrong I appreciate the confidence in the guys but this is one of those decisions that haunts a manager if we don't win the series.

Who are you replacing him with that will have an impact on the series? Anyone who takes his spot is a pinch runner.
Yeah I don’t see it either  
UConn4523 : 10/17/2019 4:58 pm : link
Hicks is back and that would be the move anyway.

there are some videos on Twitter. He looked "ok" but it was a very light jog and he wasn't opening it up at all.

Sadly I think this is the biggest reason they are staying the course - we don't have anyone who profiles as better than Hicks or Edwin in the lineup and no reliever that we are likely to want to use.

If anyone on our infield goes down, we have Romine replacing them. If Stanton isn't starting in this series, i'd have rather had Wade on the 25 as insurance and pinch running.

I remember the days when how fast Babe Ruth ran to first wasn't something worth complaining about. Remember it like it was just yesterday I do.

For the record - DJ sucks at hitting doubles, Judge sucks at getting on base, Torres sucks at getting timely hits with RISP, Edwin sucks at getting two-homer games, Gardner sucks at stealing bases, Gary sucks at being the best defensive catcher in the ALCS, Gio sucks at 3 rbi games and Didi sucks at hitting triples. Tanaka really sucks at going 7 innings when he starts.

Insurance for what? If someone gets hurt and can’t play you can replace him.

You’d really rather have a on the bench to maybe pinch run or Stanton get healthy enough to play at the end of the series?

When is the end of the series? Game 5 or Game 7? I'd rather have him in the lineup and I'd like to know why he isn't good enough to DH in the most important game of the season. I've seen nothing from Edwin that gives me more confidence in him at DH.

I would. There's already been one situation where a pinch running substation was called for. We didn't get the hit we needed, so ultimately it didn't matter, but a single there with a pinch runner in, and the Yanks win game 2. Or a bench bat who can actually come in to at least pinch hit. This series has been pretty close, I think an incremental roster improvement is worth it at the cost of losing whatever Stanton might be able to give for a potential WS. Obviously it's hardly a big improvement in our chances to win this series to add Wade or Ford or Tauchman, and it gets smaller each game they wait. But I don't think it needs to be a big improvement to nonetheless be a worthwhile change. (The decision to add a pitcher this round really hurts now).

UConn4523 : 10/17/2019 5:35 pm : link
yeah it would be. But that’s how this has shaken up, they need to deal with it. We haven’t been dealt a good hand all season, I didn’t expect to start getting breaks now.
I'd DH Stanton  
xman : 10/17/2019 5:43 pm : link
the worst that happens he misses the rest of the playoffs which he likely will miss anyway. He is a slow healer. If he crushes one he can walk the bases.
Nationals terrify me with those arms. But I don't think that is our immediate issue

Yeah I don't understand why he's not DH'ing. EE's at bats have been hideous. If Stanton tears the quad while running the bases so be it, he'll have the whole offseason to heal. But there may only be two games left in our season, not sure what they are waiting for.
Good luck gents.

Where did I defend him? I simply said we don't know what Romine would've done, he might've made an out on one pitch and he won't replace Gary.

You apparently know he wouldn't have struck out on three pitches.

I would say have finally caught up to us. Didi wasn’t the same after tjs, Gary, Edwins, and Hicks all had late season injuries and weren’t able to get back into rhythm. Stanton is infected with Ellsburitis. Urshela has regressed after a myriad of minor injuries. Tauchman done in and Voit wasn’t the same after his abdominal. In hindsight, Ford and Wade should’ve been on the roster, and romine catching.

Yes because grienke was all over the fucking plate. Acting like he got a hit lol




There goes your stellar reading come again. Lol. Did I say he got a hit? No, I said he got their only RBI. Which he did by taking the walk and not flailing away at bad pitches. He earned the RBI regardless of whether you think he was given it by Greinke.



Any one of us on the couch right now would have "earned" that RBI. ZG was wild, and he was also imped. Giving Gardner props for earning that RBI is disingenuous at best and stupid at worst


I was just pointing out to bb how he wasn't up there flailing away and having a shitty ab earlier in the game like bb would have us believe he's been having by comparing his AB's to Sanchez's.

True, but you’re making a different point.

Most of our players, including our power hitters, are at their best when using the whole field. Gary, in particular, needs to stop trying to yank everything. When he first came up he actively hit to all fields and he still does when he’s going his best.

The Yankees are pulling off on everything and have been since the 6th inning of game 2.

So let me get this straight - HR's in the playoffs don't happen, so you shouldn't really be irked that a HR hitter is sitting, right?

By the way - you might want to take a look at how many of the astros runs are from HR's this series.

Unfortunately they will never come up with RISP because everyone at the bottom of the lineup has been sucked into a vortex of suck.

I wrote a long post about a while ago. But it’s mostly that Edwin and Sanchez missed time late and haven’t been able to get in rhythm , hence they look like shit.

Its been good enough. The supposed strengths let us down. The bullpen couldn't hold in game 2. and the offense is pathetic


It’s probably good enough against every team except the Astros. Our guys fall short of their guys.

It was sarcasm. Another LONG winter ahead. Cashman has to figure out how to beat these guys or else this era will be defined by a few 100 win seasons only to get rolled in the ALCS by Houston.

Meh. SP Isn’t the reason we lost? Maybe not, but they have better starting pitching than us and it has showed. Tanaka gave up what 3 runs in five innings. That isn’t great. Paxton didn’t get through three innings. Severino through 4. Besides game one, you can’t say our SP really is helping matters. You can’t go to Greene ever freaking night and expect him to shut them down.

At home in game 2. The offense went to sleep

And Grienke was ready to spit the bit in the first inning and Houston had their pen up when Sanchez went down on 3 pitches to keep it close

Next year they have to back up the truck for Cole to help the Yankees and hurt Houston. Right now the Astros are the only thing between the Yankees and a title. They need to weaken them and build a team that will beat them

I’m beyond disgusted right now

The thing about players being a Yankee fan is overrated. It’s all about Money, Cole isn’t going to give discount because he was a fan. Based on how the FO has operated, I just don’t see Hal and Cash giving Cole a blank check. They didn’t go after the big names after the Red Sox slaughtered us and when we were below the luxury tax. I expect them to operate the same way, smaller signings and trades based on analytics, and for the most part it’s been working. I really hope we get Cole, but I don’t see it

Yeah my takes are awful when we our starting pitchers in the last three games have went for a total of 3.1 innings 4.2 innings and 5.0. And my take was our starting pitching wasn’t the reason why we lost but simply not really helping matters much either. And, of course, according to your great takes this has no effect on our BP and the runs they let up. But you’re the same guy who said you can’t criticize a manager because I don’t have all the information. Thanks captain obvious. Might as well tell every fan their opinion is illegitimate because they don’t know all the behind the scenes stuff.

Blame the fucking players. The Yankees were in position to win 2 if not all 3 of the previous games if they had just 1 or two big hits. But that’s just can’t be, it has to be the GMs fault?

By the way bases loaded 3 separate occasions tonight with no hits. Is that on Cashman too?

I think the team came up with a great game plan on how to beat the steps. Obviously nobody expected the offense would be crap the last three games. If the offense lifted their weight,the series would be tied or in our favor

If you understand the difference between hitting in the post season and the regular season then yeah it makes a huge difference. In the post-season to win it all, you normally have to hit against good pitching , something the Yankees have trouble doing the last three seasons. Our team is constructed to hit home runs, when you play against pitchers like Cole, Verlander, and Greinke it’s not like the blasts you get when playing the Orioles on a Tuesday night in June. We couldn’t hit the Sox last year when it counted, we can’t hit the Astros this year. Plus, Cashman had a chance at Verlander and Cole and whiffed on both (not to mention Scherzer). So, yeah, Cashman is not really doing a great job.
Any thought here of batting Stanton for EE if guys on base?

We scored 3 runs against Houston in Houston in 2017  
Essex : 10/17/2019 11:15 pm : link
We scored four runs at home and left so many runners OB against Boston. We haven’t hit in three or four games in this series, but yeah Cashman is great and has really constructed a roster built for the post season. Maybe a bloop and bop doesn’t work as well in the post season. And strikeouts matter in the post season.

Exactly! It’s a losing forumla. Look at he 2015 Royals, they were such a good contact team. Put the call in play and don’t strike out is a real good formula for playoff success.

Because he’s not. He’s a very good GM. However, he has a team built to entertain and wow us from April through September. I get it: you have to win to get to October. And we’ve certainly done that. But it’s not good enough to break through against a great team like Houston. And, whether or not they lose Cole this winter, Houston figures to not be going anywhere anytime soon. Cashman has to figure out a roster that will beat them. I don’t want to win 100-105 games again next year and lose to them in the ALCS. That’s not good enough.

It's pretty common sense. That being said, I don't really blame cash. I think players play and ultimately, we had our chances. Guys just didn't hit. Sanchez is a joke. Hits a two run Homer when zero pressure on him and we down big. He feasts on garbage pitching all year. He is a guy I hope they get rid of. They won't but I wouldn't miss him at all

Nobody said he is bad at his job and there is a difference between being good at your job (which Cashman is to a degree) and getting the job done (which he has not).

Second, do you realize how much of an idiot you sound like when you say a bloop and a blast strategy doesn't work in the playoffs during a game when that's EXACTLY how the Astros scored all 6 of their runs tonight?

Exactly how I feel. The Yanks will win another 100 next year and lose the same way. Getting Cole is just as much about pulling him away from Houston as it is improving our team. If cashman loses out there, they better figure out how to put ball in play and hit in clutch

He’s done a very good job. The front office operates in a way to minimize cost, money/prospect. I would like to see them go all in, shell out a blank check for Cole or give up a haul for stud starter. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see them changing in the way they operate

Realize everyone is frustrated. Not sure how you blame Cash for Boone’s mistake in G2, the bats going cold, Sevy being hurt all season and Paxton should be pitching better in the playoffs. He isn’t afraid to spend intelligently. This team is being built to stay on top for a long time and will get plenty of shots at the WS over the next 3-5 years.

Didn't their catcher lead off the inning Houston hit the three run Homer? You know the difference between the two? Houston's catcher swings at good pitches and plays good defense, he is a thumper and isn't relied on for offense. He does his job. Sanchez Ks at an alarming rate.

I haven't liked him for a while so I'm biased but I would look for a trade partner.

He looked like hot garbage this series too
Didi may look like Rod Carew on this team but he’s still an 100K  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/18/2019 12:18 am : link
guy. That’s nothing for us because we have 3 200K hitters.

I don’t think he should be brought back if it means more than 3/45.

The question is, for all of you arguing about Sanchez, would you sign him to a 20M per contract? I am not so sure.

No fucking shot, then again I wanted him traded last two years while his value was higher. I'd move Torres to short. Let Didi walk. See if you can find a trade partner for Sanchez. I look for a 2B who is a contact hitter. I liked DJ at first. We need another player like him.

Postseason...
IDGAF what he does during a ridiculous long and watered down regular season. We are going to be in playoffs for next ten years. We need guys who can hit in playoffs..I rather a catcher who Bata last, plays great defense and has solid plate discipline and spend money on a stud pitcher or a solid contact hitting middle infielder

The guy replacing him wouldn’t need to be better than him for the team to be better offensively. And defensively, if they built a 4 foot wall behind the plate, it would be better than him and save the team more runs.
Boone is beyond reproach as he won 103 games  
xman : 10/18/2019 12:24 am : link
If he were to leave NY and say go to Detroit he will turn that team into an instant winner. He is that good. I figure he is like Torre who waited to come to the yanks to show what a great manager he was.

Mix and match. Wonder what the lineup will be tomorrow.

I liked his lineup better tonight but Gardner third early in series was a joke and could have costed us some runs. I don't blame Boone tho. Yanks didn't get much from starters and didn't hit.

Hard not to agree with this -- not winning tomorrow I mean. The team has been beaten up by the Astros. No doubt it is not only unhappy with itself as a team, but doubtful of each other internally, especially their pitchers. The lack of starters and bullpen stoppers has been fatal when playing against top hitting of the kind offered by the Astros -- maybe the best overall seen in the last who knows how many years -- and top pitching it turns out they can't reliably hit.

Winning three from these guys looks to be and ought to be impossible. So what can be shown tomorrow that they couldn't bring tonight, game 2 or game 3? Win and it would be down to two, that's true, but taking out Verlander under these circumstances? That would be crazy. But it also would just be baseball.

No he isn’t. He’s got some great power for an infielder, and has been a really strong ISO guy for 3 years, but his batting average is pedestrian at best and his BABIP is historically below league average.

M.S. : 10/18/2019 5:42 am : link

...the Yankees have had a remarkable, amazing run this season in light of all the crazy injuries, but the end-of-season stats showed that the Astros could match our bats; trot out starting pitching that we could only dream of; and BTW they won more games.

Should the Astros advance to the World Series, it will surprise no one at all that the two opponents have very strong starting pitching.

Oh, well.
Amazing how you can win 100+ games  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 10/18/2019 6:51 am : link
And a series and your run can come down to a couple of at bats going well for one team and poorly for the other. Yankees kind of over achieved this year with all the injuries. Their flaw from the beginning was not having the lights out #1 pitcher. It's why they likely don’t move on.
Sanchez is immensely frustrating  
mattnyg05 : 10/18/2019 6:51 am : link
You can point to OPS (which would obviously be inflated because of the few hits he does end up with, most are home runs) and he obviously he a homer tonight which is more than anyone in the lineup can say, but his approach at times gives you no chance.

You see how beneficial a guy like DJ Lemaheiu has been and to me it’s him, Torres hitting more disciplined and Urshela hitting for average. With two strikes Gary is a black hole but for a home run every so often. Encarnacion too, and Stanton in last years playoffs. We have too many guys that good pitchers chew up because they swing at terrible pitches. Just my eye test opinion. I know the stat heads will come back with 500 reasons why Sanchez is the best catcher but he is feast or famine, and I feel like it’s 80 percent famine and the 20 percent feast inflates his stats during the season.

There are weeks and months stretches of time where this guy is a complete zero at the plate, which many catchers are anyway so I guess what can be done. It’s just frustrating.
Fat lady not singing yet, but she is walking up to the stage.  
GiantsUA : 10/18/2019 6:53 am : link
I feel like I have seen this series before.

My point is  
mattnyg05 : 10/18/2019 6:57 am : link
A lot of catchers are zero at the plate. But when you swing at terrible pitches, don’t put the ball in play, and have zero approach with two strikes, you’re almost less than zero at times. Just me-but I think actually hitting the ball might be making a comeback as opposed to just loading up for a homer or nothing.

I agree 100% but I doubt Cashman/Boone do. Heard Boone in a presser a month or so ago & someone asked him if he cared that many of the batting averages were so low. Boone blew a gasket saying they don't care about batting average,it's not a statistic that's important to them.He doesn't care if they strike out,only hard contact is important! Yet,we hear people in baseball say the Yankees need more hitters like DJL. The Yankee philosophy works in regular season,but fails miserable in the postseason(except when they're facing the Twins) when they're not facing second rate pitching!

I agree in thinking they won't bring Didi back (even though he's one of the few guys in the lineup that will go oppo & is a LHB. Also,I believe we'll see the real Didi next season as he will have had a year after his surgery!)Gleyber SS/DJL 2B next season. Real interesting off season-CC,Didi,EE & possibly Gardner,Chapman & Betances coming off the books/leaving in FA The only good I can see from this debacle against the Astros is maybe Hal will be shamed into spending for Cole but based on his fiscally conservative attitude,I doubt it!

Didi K’d at a 15.4% rate this season, which if he had posted over about 200 more at bats would have placed him within the top 35 individual players in the league for lowest %. So yes you have a point Tesla, however for a guy who strikes out relatively so little he is a feast or famine hitter (given his .276 OBP, he sure isn’t taking walks to offset the .237 BA). Take this season with a grain of salt if you want. It’s yet to be seen if Cashman can find anybody better than Didi, but it should not be assumed he just gets re-signed to a big deal entering his age 30 season.

Their flaw is they haven’t hit, pitched, played defense or managed well. Just a complete abomination of a series from top to bottom. They need to make major changes. Can’t have an all RH lineup that allows teams to carry ZERO lefties and can’t have a roster where you can’t pinch hit/mix it up in the playoffs. Major bonehead decisions made on playoff roster and strategy.

And you eat what you have to of Giancarlo’s contract and get him out of here. He’s a disgrace.

Tesla : 10/18/2019 8:24 am : link
3/45 is the most I would go for him....and 3/36 (or less) would be ideal.

He has a huge flaw in his game....he's absolutely allergic to walks, and his OBP is usually terrible as a result of that. He's been clutch in the playoffs in the past, but as the series is proving that is not a repeatable skill that you can rely upon. His defense has been excellent but you can expect that to begin to decline as well as he enters is 30's.

from an advanced metrics perspective, Didi has also historically had an a pretty awful batted ball profile -- low line drive rate, and for years an extremely low hard contact rate. In 2018 he managed to get the hard contact up to 36%, which is OK, but it's come back down to 34% this year.

Because of this, hes a low baseline BABIP guy that hits a lot of pop ups. When you couple it with the fact that he doesn't walk, this is not a guy that I sign long term unless it's really friendly.

By age 31-32 I don't see how you could value him (on a good team) as much more than a defense-first SS who has an OK stick for an 8-9 hole hitter.

It's a shame because he's a hell of a likable guy, but I could go on for hours about things I'd rather see the yankees do with $60M over 4 years, let alone more than that.

This is based on regular season numbers in 8 years in

OPS .742

BB 201 (so about 25 walks a year)

baseball-reference.com/players/g/gregodi01

Those to me are below average numbers offensively,
I like the guy, but it may be time to move on.
The Yanks may offer him a qualifying offer, which would be around 18 mill.+ next season, gets them a draft pick.
Let some other team overpay to sign him, get some starting pitching!

I don’t think that’s the right way to look at this. Look at his stats with the Yankees. Before this year, he was a legitimate top ten SS for several years. The question for the FO is will Didi performance continue to drop or will he return to form.

Too much offseason talk.

Save it for the offseason.

Can't give up on this squad after the year they had and all the resiliency they've showed.

It's been a horrific last 3 games. No one can get a timely hit. This isn't on the pitchers even though I get the sense that the majority of the fan ire this offseason directed at Cashman will indeed revolve around pitching.

How many runners have we left on base? In scoring position?

Bases loaded 1 out and we get no one home.

The situational hitting that was so good all year has quite literally just gone "POOF" and vanished.

The Yankees need something... anything to spark them tonight. I don't expect a roll over and die game here.

One inning at a time. If it ends tonight, so be it... we can discuss the offseason then. But it's not over yet.
