DJ's Glove - ( New Window )
"Shane Ronan, a Tampa native, was among those who said he was scammed by Sanford. Ronian said he bid on Twitter for a pair of Sanford-signed baseball gloves, which were auctioned by Adopt a Minor Leaguer, a nonprofit organization that helps support minor-league players.
Ronan’s $75 bid was accepted, and Ronan said he was put in contact with Sanford, who agreed to meet him during spring training this year. Ronan, a lifelong Yankees fan, works part-time as a cook at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Ronan said Sanford agreed to meet him on multiple occasions, but strung him along.
“Then he ghosted me,” Ronan said, adding: “He got a bit nasty with me about it.”"
That's baseball, Suzyn.
What kind of name is Bemboom?
Yeah, he continues to waste too many pitches. Ahead of Mullins 0-2 and then runs the count to 3-2. When you throw 98-100, just blow the batter away.
Hicks was a good player in his day. The problem is the contract. Agree that it was a terrible decision.
His contract isn't that large . I believe he has 3 more years after this one for $30M. They ate Ellsbury and Arod contracts so there is no reason they cant do the same with Hicks at this point. I dont see any value he brings to the team at this point and doubling down and playing him just because of his contract is just compounding the mistake
His struggles at the plate are bad enough but I’m really down on his defense so far this season. Off the top of my head there’s been at least half a dozen balls he should’ve caught but didn’t.
Maybe he’s taking his offensive struggles with him out onto the field but he honestly looks disinterested on D. Like his head isn’t into it and is slower to react than in the past.
I'm up for that but there's no way to move Hicks off the roster.
LOL, seriously. Unreal. It's an inning after I posted that, but still.

He hit his 4th HR tonight, he has 10 SB on the season, hes putting up pretty good numbers and his defense is miles better then Hicks at this point.

They could just DFA him but Cashman wont do it even though he looks completely washed.
However, more realistically is right now the Yankees are carrying 9 relief pitchers so 1 of them will get sent down soon and that could open up a spot for a 4th bench player in Florial. It was originally Locastro before he got hurt but Florial is more important then Locastro who only can PR for you while Florial can do the same and more and has upside as a potential future piece
Seriously, at what point do they cut bait? I feel like I'm being trolled watching this guy strike out again and again and again.

IT is really amazing that the Yankees are 27-9 with Gallo and Hicks starting almost every game in LF and CF respectively. If Cashman can upgrade those spots with this pitching this team can easily win the WS
5 strikeouts
Judge gets an RBI if Trevino was on 3rd. Hicks not being able to make contact fucked the whole inning .
I am 100% convinced Andujar and Florial would do a better job then Gallo and Hicks if theyw ere given the chance

Would you like a soap box?
Email Cashman and Boone and let them know. cc Hal and Randy

I have an issue with repeated posts that nobody is responding to, like Frank last night and his obsession with Benintendi.
We all get it, you want Gallo and Hicks gone. We don't need inning by inning updates on them. We agree. You are preaching to the choir.
Now that I acknowledged your wisdom, is that good enough.
Florial, before a small sample this year, hasn't hit on any level since 2018.
Better than King? I do not see much difference. Both outstanding and almost unhittable.
They got three hits in the 1st inning, and only three hits the whole rest of the game. Fortunately the two runs off that passed ball held up.

He has to be the best reliever in baseball right now . I feel 100x more confident with him trying to close the game then Chapman

He has better numbers then King but they are both great . The 2 of them should be all stars this year even though it is hard for relievers to make it

They keep this up, could be Nestor, Holmes and King with Gerrit not making it!
I was 100% certain this was a 4th place team.
It's amazing what they've done since being 5-5.
I certainly thought it was in play (although not likely). I don't think anyone foresaw this. And knock on wood, we've been lucky with injuries so far, whereas Sox lost Sale, Jays lost Teoscar for a while and he still doesn't look right, and Rays just lost Lowe.
Let's just hope this keeps up. Things will need to be fixed/addressed, but right now stack up the wins and stay injury free.
Was Baltimore's pitcher that good, or are we in the doldrums again? I know Watkins was fairly impressive last night.

King ERA+ is 262, which is great. Holmes 835!

We didn't hit much. Hicks and Gallo were K machines. I don't know how much of it was the O's pitcher. Luckily they are bad defensively and we were gifted two runs because of that (and Gleyber's hustle on the basepaths). Our D was much better than theirs and that was the difference in the game.
4th. Coming off injury.
BErnie Williams isn't on the bench. Neither is Curtis Granderson.
And if the kid was ready or made sense the YAnks would bring him up.
Relax.
