Yankees - 2018

[quote="alexander salem" post=288036]It's time to slide Torres and Andujar up the batting order. At least until some of the other guys start hitting. Boone needs to send a message that Bird, Sanchez and Stanton need to start producing if they wanna bat 3-4-5. This lineup will be flat out terrifying once those three guys figure it out in the regular season.[/quote]

I know about Stanton potential, and his 59HRS & winning the mvp last year.

Right now though, at this point, he sucks.
Down 2-0, maybe the 6th inning?, a guy on, 3-2count and 2 outs, the pitch is over the plate, but he just looks at it.
Trying to work a walk? How about swing the damn bat?

Stanton has 15 HRs and 34 RBIs, not exactly sucking.

Yeah I know his stats, but still takes to many called strikes, if it's close then swing at it.
 
The player I'm most concerned about right now is Sanchez. He seems to have lost it both at the plate and behind the plate. I don't know what the solution is.

Agree. And sometimes that's the hardest place to fix.
 
Wow I can't type

Is it me or is gleyber in the field really annoying?
Ground ball to 2nd he tries to grab it instead of letting Didi who was going towards 1st get it. Error
Then with judge coming in with the much easier play, gleyber runs all the out to make a tough catch, he's lucky he caught that
WTFFFFFFFFFF

Fixed.

He's a rookie, give him some time.
 
I think they should send Sanchez down to Tampa for a week and work intensively with coaches. He needs to get his confidence back offensively and defensively. He also needs someone to talk to him. I think the time spent making the adjustments with him will be time well spent.
 
Tonight's a big night for Gray. Here are his stats at Yankee Stadium and on the road:

ERA W L SV SVO GP GS CG IP H R ER HR BB SO AVG
Home 7.22 2 2 0 0 6 6 0 28.2 35 23 23 6 19 24 .294
Away 2.83 2 2 0 0 6 6 0 35.0 28 11 11 1 11 34 .217

If he has another bad game tonight, I'd be happy to never have him pitch again at home.

Sorry for the formatting. In edit mode, all the numbers line-up. Hope you can read this.

torres is a below average fielder and 21 years old.

his defensive strength is chasing down balls that normally would drop in front of a center fielder. he covers ground. goes back well. has speed.
 
Torres is playing a position that he played less than 15 minor games at before he got to the majors. He has the instincts, with good hands. The more repetition he gets, the better he will get. He will figure it out

Offensively I wonder if Sanchez is trying to hit a home fun every time up, buying into the hype. He got off to a slow start last year and he picked it up which I thought he would have done by now. I agree it’s in his head and hopefully he will rebound.

Hopefully Gray has turned a corner and we see the good on the road Gray home and away for the rest of the season. Could be a head thing with him at home worrying about the fences.

Has speed?

Once again we saw the bad at home Gray last night. Has to be psychological with him. But whatever the reason, I’d be OK with him not pitching at home again. His at home ERA before the game last night was 7.22. That only went up after his performance. :eek:hmy:
 
what a start/star. 5 innings. no runs. loaisiga.
did the yanks find their 4th playoff starter?
in the 2nd inning he threw 97 mph for 5 straight pitches. the next pitch was a mere 96 mph.

bravo to the 2nd best bullpen in baseball since 21 april.

His control with the fast ball was impressive. When missing he was just off the plate. Looks like a promising find.

Maybe. Just maybe, the Yanks aren't in as much dire need of a pitcher as many of us thought. I would like that.

the yanks today will probaby have scored more "points" than any team in that "football" tourney.

Kid looked impressive last night, but it was TB. Lets see the kids doing that vs. Seattle.
Not saying a shutout by say 2 runs in 6 innings, He's up from the minors so you know there's a pitch count on him.
Maybe 5innings.
Sev is now 10-2 in June 16th, 13 wins by the all-star break? 22-24 wins this year?
It's crazy how deGrom with an ERA under 2 only just 4-2, yeah I know, no hitting.

I can't get used to seeing the guys that I was watching when in my teens and 20s, in the old timers game.
Just a weird feeling, Yeah, I'm getting up there in age.
