Do the math - in his fifth year with Yanks he has missed 40 percent of the scheduled games. But he still looks good in the gym . A bodybuilder that occasionally plays baseball .
Also - getting sick of watching Gleyber chase pitches. No discipline at plate at all. He never walks, has limited range, hits .250 . He is Horace Clark with more power and fewer SB...lol
I just saw Braves for the second time this season brought up a player who started the year at high A. First it was their starting CF Michael Harris now Vaughn Grissom will play 2b.

I would say for the most part I agree, especially on Stanton, people fall in love with the lasers he may hit when he is hot, but you don't hear from the same folks when he is hurt yet again...I have said a couple times I would like them to move on from Torres in the offseason. It sounds like a few teams called on Ca$hman at the deadline on Torres.
Call them back in the offseason, he is no Horace Clarke though, Horace was 'special'. LOL

Funny you should mention Horace. They could have used him last night. The one thing Horace Clarke did well was run the bases. Seriously, as disappointing as Glyber has been, he's no Horace Clark. Horace was a low 200's hitter with no power. In the field, not only was he butcher, he'd misplay at the worst possible times often when the game was on the line. Later on Mike Blowers at third base was the same kind of fielder.

Lets not forget power hitting Jerry Kenny [/quote]Another gold glove.
Bats are still having a rough go of it, but Nestor has been excellent so far. We're going to have a tough time pushing runs across with the bottom third of this lineup today. It's.. not great.
Gotta get into their bullpen and try to do damage there. Not getting much of anything against Ray.

fangraphs shmangraphs. This is the problem with these derived statistics, especially when applied to players from decades ago.
I watched him play for years. The problem with Horace Clarke wasn't that he made errors or threw balls away. The problem with Horace is that he was slow to react on ground balls that he didn't get to and was slow to get the ball out of his glove and throw it. A lot of ground balls went for base hits that a better second baseman would have fielded. Although I can't prove it, it seemed to me he saved his worst fielding for when the game was on the line. We speak of players like Derek Jeter as someone who would rise to the occasion in the biggest situations. Horace Clarke was just the opposite. The Yankees suffered with many mediocre players during that dark period from 1965 to 1974, but there is a reason that era is referred to as "The Horace Clarke Era".

Before my time but you are an eye witness not fangraphs !
Cash thought he could pinch pennies, save service time, etc. because the team was doing so well. But guess what, we need some of those guys in the bigs now and to DFA people on the roster. Enough.
The Yankees playoff wart timely hitting with RISP rearing its ugly head.
It will get worse in the playoffs when they face good pitching everyday.
How does Cashman get away with the same shit over the past 5 years???
Roster construction a real issue for a long time now
Injuries no excuse

If they don’t make the WS (and right now I don’t think they will), I think it’s finally time to move on from Cashman.
This is pretty bad stuff. The pitchers simply do not hold leads. Almost every single time we've gotten one lately, the starter or relievers have promptly returned the favor in the same inning (or top half of the following one)
Can't just keep playing shit baseball like this and expect a switch to flip. Has to change.
Really wasted an absolute gem from Nestor. Damn shame.

I don’t recall a start this year where he was throwing this well. Damn shame indeed.
(Yes, I know Higgy had the big HR.) Boone can’t pull Cortes after 93 pitches to put in Albert fucking Abreu. LET THE FUCKING GUY PITCH!!!!! Nasty Nes gave up a single through the hole, then got screwed by a combination of shitty umpiring and Higgy committing a horrific passed ball. Then Higgy is letting a washed up turd like Carlos Santana beat Abreu with his WORST PITCH by a mile, the change???
Whenever Boone has to think on his own, the odds aren’t great.
They're meaningless? I'm not a Yankees fan/baseball savant, but I occasionally check Yankees game threads on BBI & a lot of people seem to be worried about Houston having HFA if the two were to meet in October. And I hate Houston.

In a big spot, who do you trust coming out of that bullpen? Right now, for me, there isn’t one arm I trust. That can change between now and October, but right now that group isn’t very good.
Who has the tiebreaker? Do they play again? Don't mean to miller Yankees thread with 'Duh!' ?s, Haha. But I'm curious.
I'm pulling for a Yankees-Mets WS.
No idea on tie breakers and all that. Houston plays in a few minutes. If they win, they pass the Yanks by a half game. If they lose, then the yanks are .5 ahead.

I trust the guy they sent down. Abrew was already released by the Yankees. I can understand thinking they can fix him. When they made that decision, they didn’t know what they had in Marinaccio. Stupid. Jack Curry on the post game was saying that today’s situation would have been a perfect spot for Marinaccio.
Yes. I'm not worried about the division. If the lead cuts down to 5-6 games, sure.. I'll start getting fairly concerned.
But that shouldn't happen. The Yankees are just not putting their best team out on the field right now and don't seem to think these games are super important.
And I'm not loving the non-answers/vagueness around Stanton. We have to have him back; the Yankees are just very dismissive about injuries and it's hard to get any idea how serious they are or aren't a lot of times. We'll hear "oh yeah, he's good just needs another day.." and then 2 weeks later, we still haven't seen him.
I don't know if this falls under the "extra cautious" category or what it is.
team is a different story with the same ending. Hard to get overly excited about October when you know they will shit the bed against the Asstros if they even get that far. Cashman sucks. Imagine if he had to work with a salary cap?
Ya think Nestor was finished? Two games in a row he has taken him out with a lead that turned into shit. Oh well another year chasing 28 starts next year, hopefully without Boone

Yeah, Nestor was pretty much cooked at that point.
He was irreplaceable. Doesn’t mean the season is over, but this team misses him badly. He was our best reliever.
Said the same thing in my Yankees group chat this morning. Green to a lesser extent even if you don't like him.
King going down did not get enough attention that was a huge blow.
Not for nothing, but King was starting to falter just before th AS break. He and Holmes at about the same time started losing their BB control...in fact Wandy Peralta also started to get dinged, too.
Ya think Nestor was finished? Two games in a row he has taken him out with a lead that turned into shit. Oh well another year chasing 28 starts next year, hopefully without Boone
Yeah, Nestor was pretty much cooked at that point.
Why? He gave up 2 hits in the inning and the first was opposite the shifted infield. The only reason the runner was in scoring position was a horrendous passed ball by Higgy. But more importantly, they were bringing in Albert Abreu. I didn’t get the impression that he was “cooked”.
they asked Boone if there's any plan to call up Peraza soon and he said no. So...f*** us, I guess. IKF and his .623 OPS will continue to play most days, it seems.

He was cooked. If you watched Nestor you could see he was laboring and could not hit his spots and his pitches were starting to come up.
are 27 and 26, respectively. these aren’t some 20-year-old flashes in the pan. these are grown ass men throwing absolute bullets. At some point this year it would be great if the Yanks tried tof ield their actual best 26, but it doesn’t sound like it’ll happen (IKF over Peraza.)
section.. .look at the % of inherited runners Abreu has allowed to score. His ERA is misleading. He's not good and he's noticeably regressing.
I do not look at the stats. The guy can throw. I dislike the pitching calling with him - like a changeup with a guy that cannot hit a FB.
But that is a bad percentage.

Also, his career ERA is 4.38. While he does have a 2.91 ERA this year, his xERA is 4.14; his FIP is 4.71; and his xFIP is 4.40. Moreover, he is currently walking 5.56 hitters per nine, which is insanely high. His WAR this year is -0.1, meaning random minor leaguers would be slightly better. There's a reason three different teams have given up on him.
I don't mind him all that much, but you can't really use him in high leverage situations, and he's taking an active roster spot from Marinaccio, who is good.

Lol. Fiiiiiine. (That was good sarcasm, I actually laughed.)
Going in the wrong direction.

King had a 0.89 ERA from the start of June right up to the ASB.
Can't say I agree with that at all. He had 0 walks in the final 4 appearances prior.
King was able to go multiple innings and was our fireman. I really don't think that loss can be understated.
Really not psyched that this team is still so HR-reliant.
They don't hit in big spots or against top-flight pitchers. Won't go anywhere in October if that doesn't change.

Lol, yeah probably. So stupid. Loaisiga has one option left, maybe use it there unless they want to use it for Marinaccio.
Something's gotta give here. I think they need to seriously consider going the DFA route on Abreu or Luetge to make room for Schmidt and Marinaccio.
Those two guys cannot continue to rot in Scranton. They're better than half the arms we have up here.

Abreu is not a bad pitcher.
Albert Abreu has allowed 6 of 9 (67%) inherited baserunners to score this season.
MLB avg rate is 32%
He's not good. There's a reason why the Rangers and Royals let him go.
I do not look at the stats. The guy can throw. I dislike the pitching calling with him - like a changeup with a guy that cannot hit a FB.

I don't mind him all that much, but you can't really use him in high leverage situations, and he's taking an active roster spot from Marinaccio, who is good.

section.. .look at the % of inherited runners Abreu has allowed to score. His ERA is misleading. He's not good and he's noticeably regressing.
I do not look at the stats. The guy can throw. I dislike the pitching calling with him - like a changeup with a guy that cannot hit a FB.
But that is a bad percentage.
Also, his career ERA is 4.38. While he does have a 2.91 ERA this year, his xERA is 4.14; his FIP is 4.71; and his xFIP is 4.40.

Lol. Fiiiiiine. (That was good sarcasm, I actually laughed.)

Glad you caught that. But they really are impressive and seemingly bad.
Schmidt threw 6 perfect innings today BTW. Unreal.
I like Abreu, 100mph with good change and slider, but that’s the repertoire of 90% of the relievers. Loaisiga really needs to regain his old form.
