Yankees - 2019

Let's get 3 of 4 from the Rays.[/quote]

Even a split would be OK, since we only have two games left with the Rays after this week, but 3 out of 4 should be the minimum goal.[/quote]

Asplit at home is never ok.
Lets bury tb is sweep them, but 3 of 4 is ok.

We'll take the first step 3, then the genius will rest 3 regs and use the b tesm pen guys and lose thursday.[/quote]

Got that 3 of 4. TB was getting all happy, thinking ok we got that 8.5 game deficit down to 5, now it's doable.
Lol Then we decide to get serious and take the next 3.
Smackkkkkk back to 8.
Know your role TB, and never think you'll catch us again.[/quote]

Although he has not been great for us, acquiring Edwin Encarnacion, just to stop Tampa from getting him, has worked out, in that regard.

Watching these 11 games against the Yankees over this past month (all of a sudden, I'm not too upset that we only play them 2 more games the rest of the season), it's pretty clear that they are lacking at least one power bat. I know what D'Arnould did the other night, but it was just one game. They have no one who strikes fear in you (although Meadows is a very good player), and no one who could keep the team afloat by carrying them during a 2 week slump.

I generally don't like the mindset of moves like the Encarnacion one, but in this case, mission accomplished, so far.[/quote]

What can you NOT like about acquiring a power hitting bat like Edwin who will be a FA after the year for next to nothing?[/quote]

Oh, I had no problem with the trade. I just didn't like when they said that a big reason for it, was to keep him away from Tampa. That should be a bonus. The Yankees did that with Jose Canseco in 2000, and it was a disaster. Also, when they signed the reliever Mike Myers, they said it was because he could get David Ortiz out. Well, what about the rest of the league?[/quote]

How was Canseco a disaster, it did not costs them anything but the waiver claim and his salary the rest of the season. He hit a few homeruns (including at least one to win a game) and had a few hits. We won the World Series that year.

As far as Myers, he was the designated LOOGY and for the most part did his job (although he struggled down the stretch his first year). His overall stats were not bad at but he was pretty bad during a stretch that first year.
 
[quote="Delaware" post=354604][quote="Moose" post=354592][quote="Delaware" post=354591]I'm not a Tampa fan at all, but I love the way they play with limited resources, in a shithole of a ballpark. And Kevin Cash is a helluva Manager, and is all class. I watched this series on the Tampa network, and pre- and post-game, had nothing but good things to say about the Yanks, their players and the organization. So unlike Cora.[/quote]

Then why does CC hate their players so much :silly:[/quote]

If you ask me, CC comes off as a bit of an ass with that crap. He was also pissed off at a team bunting on him in the past couple of years. If I was a Manager I'd bunt all day on him. He's horrible defensively, can't get off the mound, and can't even get to first base to cover.[/quote]

CC does have that attitude, but do you even know if Garcia said something towards CC or not.
Garcia didn't the call 3rd strike, put his head down, and said something. Was it towards CC?
I wouldn't let anyone talk down to me, would you?
 
If anyone watched last night met game, we saw Thor Vs Bum.
Both pitched very well, so who do you want more?

I'm thinking Bum might not even be traded now. They are only 4 behind Milwaukee for the 2nd WC spot.

I hate Tampa Bay and there former manager Maddon. It was a Tampa player who ran over and knocked Francisco Cervelli out for most of the season during a meaningless Spring Training game.

In a game they were losing 11-0, Tampa Bay threw behind Austin Romine's head, CC took the mound needing only two more innings to earn a $500K bonus, yet threw at and hit a Tampa Bay hitter as retaliation (That's for you b&&&h he yelled as he pointed at the TB pitcher in their dugout) losing his bonus as he was thrown out (Yankees gave him the Bonus anyway).

Other things bother me about them so (including them including a clause in Boggs' contract that he had to pick a Devil Rays (their original nickname) hat for his HOF plaque (not that I expected him to pick the NY of the Yankees, should go in with a Red Sox but c'mon, he was with Tampa Bay for what, two seasons?).

Here's what you don't do Tampa Bay. You don't yell at or get into a verbal altercation leading to bench clearing (and the Yankee Bullpen was much quicker getting into the dust up than Tampa Bay's were who got there as it was just about over) with a future Hall of Famer and you definitely don't do it when you are winning at Yankee Stadium.
 
[quote="ron " post=354618]Aaron Boone suspended for tonight's game for calling out a horrible umpire:

[URL]https://www.pinstripealley.com...-brett-gardner-ejection-umpire-brennan-miller[/URL][/quote]

That's ridiculous, IMO. They usually only give a manager that if he (a) makes physical contact with an ump, or (b) does something wild visually, like kick dirt, or what Boone did last year, when he went into the catcher's crouch.

The only reason the mic's caught him saying what he did, was because it was in the early innings of a twi-night doubleheader, so there was nobody in the park. If there were 40,000 people there, no way would a mic have picked up what he said.

EDIT: The Post is reporting that it is also for making contact with the umpire, according to Joe Torre. I didn't see that, but it's possible, in which case the suspension is justified

When I watched it it looked like the bill of Boone's cap touched the bill of the umpire's. I suppose that counts as making contact.

IMO, that's not contact. Incidental, if anything. Unfortunately, there's no managers' union to challenge this stuff.

Pretty sure he was mic'ed up (said on a televised sports report that he was mic'ed up).

He wasn’t mic ed up
But there is fine gentleman on Twitter named Jomboy who has been somehow picking up hot mics from any time a manager is ejected and making the hilarious videos recapping them. Not sure how he does it but he’s a great follow on Twitter. Gabe Kepler was tossed from two games in a row. But not suspended I don’t think. So it was the contact very likely
 
game 96.
Edwin busts the game wide open.
yanks score 8 runs & beat a crappy starting pitcher.
for the first time ever the daily old school redmen why was he even born award goes to 2 people - freeland/Almonte.
happ really, really struggled & 2 yankee throwing arms saved him.
in post season happ should be on a very short leach.
it seems no matter who boone, I mean the interm manager, puts in lineup, good results happen - the tauch had 3 hits and an assist..
 
Just saw a blurb in today's Post that Maybin, Severino & Betances are all doing well in their rehab and Severino & Betances could be ready to pitch in a couple of weeks if all keeps going well.

To quote Boone: "They're f'ing savages in box." lol
11 more today. Expect "They're savages" to be printed on the front of t-shirts to go with the Yankees logo soon.
 
game 97.
tale of 2 games for tanaka. first 5 innings a shutout & I believe 47 pitches. inning 6 - ugly.
yanks sticks continue to rock and roll.
tv blurb had yanks bullpen with 2nd lowest july era. then more bullpen goose eggs.
the daily old school redmen why was he ever born award goes to senzatela.
the first ever old school redmen savage of the day award goes to the best results for an irregular yankee stick - the inaugural winner is romine - 2 hits & stolen base..
voit checks out a-ok, but yanks should have yanked him as soon as he got hit.
often Colorado played like a senior softball team

game 98.
difference in the game was the gloves.
the rockies seemed to make every defensive play.
the yankee gloves were like senior softball players.
Paxton - he looked bad from the first pitch on.
the daily old school redmen why was he ever born award - reluctantly to boone for not removing Paxton during pregame warmups, to Cashman for not getting starting pitchers while having great sticks/bullpen.
the daily old school redmen savage of the game award to the tauch - homerun/walk.
congrats to yankee HOFers - mo, moose, lee.
 
game 99
deja vu all over again.
the gloves again. twinkies made the plays, the yanks did not.
starting pitching again. should have yanked cc very early. did bone want cc to throw innings thinking the yanks are too far in the hole?
for the first time ever the daily old school redmen why was he even born award goes to back to back people - boone for not yanking cc right away & for Cashman not getting starting pitching. august is hours away.
for the first time ever the old school redmen savage of the game award goes to 2 people - gio - getty goner & double, the tausch - 3 hits.
sail boat race for al mvp - dj dj dj.
 
I was against signing CC for this year, and still am. He needed to be replaced by an innings eater. His 5 inning outings are troubling, to say the least. Starting pitching is horrible. Also, I never see Betts, Bogarts, Martinez, etc., get a day off, yet all of out starters get at least a dat off frequently. Not a fan of that, or Boone.
 
Boone is the leading candidate for Manager of the Year. Great job, best record with all the injuries and lack of good starting pitching.

This year, the Red Sox have not, because they have been behind the 8 ball pretty much from day 1.

Last year, their top man in games played was JD Martinez with 150, and of course, he made 93 starts at DH. With a big lead, they were more liberal with resting guys, too.

Anyway, I don't think it's Boone's call WRT who gets a day off, and our depth has been a factor in coming out to this big lead in the AL East. Guys like Voit and Urshela, IMO, are better off playing 3 or 4 times a week, as opposed to 5 or 6.
