Yankees - 2019

With today's victory, a few milestones were reached:

17-2 record against the Orioles for the season, including 16 straight to close it out. The 17-2 record is our best against an AL East Opponent since the unbalanced schedule was reintroduced in 2001.

The 16 straight wins in one season against a team, is the most for the Yankees since they won 16 straight against the St. Louis Browns (who later became the Orioles) in 1927 (they went 21-1 against the Browns that year - Our 17 wins vs. the Birds this year is the most we've had against one opponent since then, and since you don't play anybody more then 19 times, that record vs. the Browns in '27, is not getting passed anytime soon).

It was our 81st victory of the year, and that now makes it 27 consecutive seasons without a losing record. One more win, and it's 27 consecutive seasons with a winning record (Can they do it?... LOL!). That streak is second all-time, behind only.... The Yankees, who had 39 straight winning seasons from 1926-1964.

Oh yeah, it's now 204 consecutive regular season games without getting shutout (209 total).

Actually haven't clinched non losing record. They can lose their next 40 games and finish 81-81 and then lose a tie breaking game to determine playoffs.. :sick: :silly: :blink: :blush:

Lets make sure that we don't clinch the division until we get to Fenway, I want to celebrate in their pos place. I'm pretty sure they could have cliched the playoff and div anytime they wanted to, but decided to wait until yankee stadium just to rub it in our face. elebrating their would be alittle sweet..
I think Boone has a little bit more class though, and he definitely wouldn't say the redsox blanking suck.
Yeah the 17.5 lead on them is nice, but the only way I'll be satisfied is to celebrate their in front of their fans like they did to us 3 times last year.
 
Can we just stop with freaking Chad Green starting the 1st inning?
So now with 1 out in the 1st, we're gonna go to the pen.
Why not start Laoisiga, maybe he could go 3 or 4 then maybe bring in Green?
Yanks started Chad Saturday, Monday, and again tonight. It's getting played out.
Or maybe Boone wants to blow his arm out.

omg omg omg I'm complaining while 40 games over right? Well maybe that's because when you repeat the same crap over and over and over, it will eventually bite you in the ass.

Well after 3 HRs in the 1st, it's 7-0 before the Yanks even batted.
The Jets game looks good right about now.
 
How come Judge never complains about the bs low strike, I'd snap and scream in the umps face.
Go ahead and suspend me for 2 games, I wouldn't regret it.

I’m not a fan of the opener myself

But did you know the Yankees were undefeated in opener starts this year going into tonight

Not a big defference but the nypost i believe it was, said 10-1
 
My last comment about Judge, then whatever they do they do, it's not in my hands.
He was 0-5 with 4 Ks.
If I'm Cashman, I make up some bs injury and put him on the 10day il, tell him to go home for 5 day. Have fun with family and clear his head, and the last 5 days we'll work on hitting. I'm thinking it's a mental thing.

But it up to do it or not.

Could be right. I know when Holder was the opener a week or so ago they said undefeated. But at that point Green was the only opener and it was Holder's first time. Don't recall which one lost.

Again not a fan of the concept. But it worked until last night.

Cleveland seems to have Yankees number this year

My hot take is Judge doesn't see a 2nd contract with Yankees. I think he's under team control until 2023.
 
Judge will retire a Yankee. My God haven't you seen players in a slump or play when injured. Give him a break.

My god he’s a walking medical chart. He can’t sustain playing at his size unless they maybe shift him to first base.

Also we’re talking asset management. Judge came up older than most prospects. When he hits FA it might not make financial sense.

The guy is the face of the franchise. It will make financial sense to sign him. No way they let him walk!

A slump for maybe 2-3 weeks. not a 2 month slump.
If he's injured THEN SHUT IT DOWN.
We already have the division locked. He isn't doing anything anyway. Let it hopefully heal with a month off, and bring him back healthy then just maybe we get something from him.
You can't tell me that clint wouldn't give more than what Judge is right now.

32 years old. By then there will be other faces of the franchise. That’s why it’s called a hot take. It’s divisive. Let’s see if he breaks the trend of being hurt the last two years. Even three years. His rookie year he hit 228 in the second half of the season. Troubling trend.
 
Umpires with rabbit ears getting too involved with players and managers during the game. Getting more interested in electronic umps.

Don't disagree, but veterans CC and Gardner have to better role models then they've been with regard to umpires and the opposition.

Nothing good will come from pissing off the umps, no matter how bad their calls. They should send videos of the bad calls to the league office.

I'm responding to the last two posts in one here (was at today's game, so I just watched the full video now - though from the upper deck behind 3B, I did see Gardner bang the bat).

Phil Cuzzi can not, in any court, prove that what Gardner was doing was at the expense of the umpires. He didn't say a word, and it wasn't even his at-bat, so how did they know for a fact that Gardner was showing them up? And, if they've been told to automatically eject him for that regardless, then why was no one on the Yankees (or any other team) told that, either via Memo, email, Joe Torre visit, etc. Bad job of communication there, and MLB needs to clear that up. I do agree that Gardner should stop doing it, but only because it looks stupid (I was never a fan of Paul O'Neill's antics either, FTR).

CC was, IMO, 100% justified in his anger. Phil Cuzzi ran all the way from the first base umpire position, to the Yankee dugout, to throw Gardner out of the game (I've never seen that before, BTW). Did the umps expect to find perfect harmony in the Yankee dugout, when that happened? I actually think he was yelling at Cuzzi to get back, but since he had to look in the direction of HP umpire anyway, since Cuzzi was at the other end of the Yankees dugout, the HP ump overreacted. Cuzzi should not be allowed to ump behind the plate for CC's start tomorrow, IMO. I just don't think he's capable of calling a fair game for him (Cuzzi has a reputation for holding grudges), and IMO, he started that, by charging the Yankees dugout. Amir Garrett got suspended 8 games for charging the Pirates dugout, and while I'm sure Cuzzi wasn't looking to throw it down with any of the Yankees, it was still wrong, and worthy of punishment, IMO.

As far as the Yankees arguing with the umpires, I agree that it won't endear them to many, but they appear to have no alternative. I've watched Aaron Judge for 3 years, take strikes that are almost in the dirt, or a foot outside. He says NOTHING to these umps for 3 years (at worst, he asks one question calmly, and walks away), but the unjustified strikeouts keep coming. So, not arguing also doesn't help this team. If both situations are going to continue to be the case, then I'm all for the Yankees going to full on "Ralph Kramden vs. the Landlord" style war vs. these guys.

As a general aside, it's time for TV to get rid of that strike zone box, IMO. No need for it. Show me the overhead to see if the pitch crossed the plate or not, or the opposite batters box view to see if the pitch had the height. You can't fudge that. The box? You can, IMO.
