OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Baby Duck Homme]

Mets might get no hit tonight.

 

[turcotte8]

Is there another GM in sports that is still employed after 15 years without a title?

Sather did 14 years as Rangers GM then got promoted to president, lol.

Grisham in the field yesterday, this tonight, just bad!

The Yankees are a whole ass joke.

I'm ready to tear the whole thing down to studs and effectively start the organization over.

Trade Judge. I can follow his new team while the Yankees rebuild.

 

[17futurecap]

I’m sure the mistakes will end in Boone’s 8th year next season.

DFA DJ, enough he’s a crippled old man.

The at bats in the 9th and 10th inning were pathetic.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Be patient. Cashman hasn't had enough time.

Jeter rolling over in his grave.

 

[Machinehead]

Him and LeMahieu on that play. If I were in charge of this team, their seasons are over.

You don't belong in the majors if you run the bases like that.

I would send Volpe to Triple-A and just Of Mice and Men DJ. It's the humane thing to do.

 

[17futurecap]

Boone’s press conferences are worse than the games.

DJ was hustling, Volpe thought it was a foul ball? Just nonsense.

Boone will never hold any player accountable..that's why they all love playing for him.The guy has a book of player excuses he uses regularly

Eerily sounds like another manager that needs to be fired but probably won't...in another thread, another sport, but same problem.

This is where I'd just like to point out again that Brian Cashman got his start with the Yankees because his dad was one of George's best friends.

 

[HANK30]

Time for Boone to go. And Cashman can go with him.

Cashman has spent nearly 3 Billion dollars since 2001 and has ONE world series to show for it. The last Yankee dynasty was built by Stick Michael. Cashman has literally done nothing.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Enormous lines form for Yankee Stadium's George Costanza bobblehead

The Summer of George is here.

It's not a lie if you believe it.

 

[ThirdEye]

Yankees are truly a steaming pile of dung right now. They have the same issues the Rangers have - the culture is whack and there's no real leadership to help right the ship when things aren't going swimmingly.

Injuries have definitely played a part but that's on the Yankees for continuously signing players that can't stay on the field.

Situational hitting and general plate approach has been a problem for most of the last 15 years. Until they fix that, nothing will change. There's only so much you can do when you don't hit behind the runner, move runners, put the ball in play with a runner on third and less than two out, or maybe not chase every 1-2 slider that lands on the chalk in the opposite batter's box.

Other than Judge and Soto, the entire lineup is a joke. They haven't had a real catcher offensively since Jorge Posada.

It amazes me the rhetoric that comes out of professional circles on Cashman. Has anybody really done less with more? The Yankees are consistently among the highest in salaries. They spend a lot of money in scouting and coaching at all levels and yes, in their analytics department too.

Hal has said several times that you don't need to spend $300 million (really he means top of the league) in player salary to be a successful team that wins WS. Of course he's saying this to prepare the fans for the outcome of them not buying every FA out there and honestly, I absolutely agree with him. BUT, does he realize how that throws his very GM under the bus? Because Cashman has been given the most in salary throughout his tenure. What has he really accomplished with it? By Hal's own definition, Cashman is failing at his job.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Rizzo has been Wally Pipped.

 

[17futurecap]

Ben Rice would be in Scranton right now if Rizzo didn't get hurt lmao.

They'll point to power and strikeouts being way up around baseball, which they are, but winning teams still strike out at low levels relative to the environment.

The approach the Yankees have would be like an NBA team saying "gee, scoring and pace have lapped the field the last ten years, so we might as well just forget it and be the worst defensive team in the league."

 

[ThirdEye]

Wow, a win

This Rice guy seems pretty legit. Nice to finally have a prospect that doesn't strike out every other at bat

Hehe, I was a kid but a remember the wonder that was Kevin Maas. I'm too scarred...

[Roo Returns]

Naw he comes from a very respected baseball family. He'd probably be a third base or bench coach for some midwestern team.

 

[Roo Returns]

Mets should get Sengha back after the ASB. If they can acquire a little bullpen help, they have an outside chance to make one of the final two WC spots.
