NFT: Yankees @ Blue Jays (in Florida) 4/13 7:07PM

Girardi might be the best manager of the Yankees in my lifetime. Torre gets it for rings. But I think Girardi had a better game feel than any of these guys.

You've got Jay Bruce at 1st, Odor at 2nd, DLM at 3rd, Urshela at SS and a terrible Catcher behind the dish. That's just madness.

I know, I know...Voit is out. But come on. This shit doesn't exactly inspire confidence to the point where I can last more than 10 seconds with Margot Robbie. I'm overreacting possibly. But damn this is hard to watch.

So true. I'm so grossed out with Bruce and Odor. Two complete scrubs.

Hits a blooper, a gap shot or a HR, he's shifted into complete irrelevance at the plate.

Ha, I stopped watching because I did not want to be angry. I like to read the comments because at least I can commiserate... I really do not have a problem with Odor. He is a legit 2nd baseman and he did start the rallies for the past two wins.

But I could not take the pitch calls that coughed up the 1st two runs. Gosh darn it is so obvious the Higashioka is the better catcher all around. I guess baseball now is run by the GM and you get a field manager that does as told instead of managing the game.

All this shit about resting is nonsense. Very few of these guys need rest this early. Play them, get them into a rhythm and then get them rest as the year goes on. Do 25 year olds need rest every third day? Are other teams doing it? Yes, I can see catchers getting 2 days off per week as they get the crap beat out of them daily, plus all the squatting. (Besides I'd like Higgy to get more time as he is more dependable) Players over 30 y/o ok, a bit more rest. IDK just seems this team never gets going.

I can be patient with Taillon and Kluber, they have to get their confidence and mechanics back.

Seemed odd that they would rest him against a lefty.

Tests negative should be back tomorrow.

Maybe the lineup comes around and Voit's eventual return helps with that.

Rotation, though, looks like Cole and question marks.

I’ve been yelling at the pessimists and trolls that it’s too early to panic. Would be nice if these slugs would sack up and perform a little in return. Fockers

I know it's early but this roster is not good. Boone & Cashman are horrible they both need to go..

Taillon to the list bad pitchers Cashman trades for. Like the many before him. Pineda. Eovaldi. Gray. Happ. Paxton

good to have a promising rookie to inject some life into this team, even though he was up last year. Schimdt if I had to bet is probably done for the year, and we’ll see him re-enacting what Taillon is going through right now in 2 years. He just got a cortisone shot the other day, after being shut down in late February!!

Do you want to call this bad luck, or incompetence, it’s hard to say.

Perhaps either Gil or Medina will make that quantum leap later in the year if Sevy doesn’t round back to form?

I’d like the team to make a statement move, like benching Sanchez. He should only see the light of day when Stanton pulls a muscle I didn’t know exist and takes his annual summer vacation. Hicks should bat 9th and 9th only. Pencil in Frazier at 7th and forget about it. Somehow Torres needs to move to second, his defense will only drag down his offense. Estrada would’ve been a good candidate as a short term plug-in until we can figure out something better long term. But, no, Cashman needed to get Odor onto this team ASAP. So frustrating...

pitch. I don’t know how many more starts he gets until Cashman starts mumbling something to the press. We are not the Rays or Stros, after all.

and we won't be able to fairly judge them until they are playing well. They just limped into the season and its impossible to know where they are actually at with so many players still looking to get going.

Excuse. Team is not good. Was lucky to even make the playoffs in a 60 game season last year. Team consistently chokes offensively in the playoffs it is like a broken record now. The rest of the division is not good either I don’t buy Boston and Tampa and Toronto are average to the problem is Yankees can’t beat either of them.
