OT: MLB Thread - Part XVIII: Home Stretch for Yanks. Coup de Grâce for Mets.

[Bob Richards]

Indians were down to their final strike and Lindor tied the game with a double.

In extras now.

"**** it. Might as well" -- August/September Indians

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Indians just walked off for 22!

 

[Machinehead]

Judg and Sanchez have combined for 74 home runs and 181 RBI..

They're 25 and 24 respectively.

We've yet to see both of them REALLY cooking at the same time, too.

If we get there, with Holliday protecting and Didi Didi'ing, this lineup is horrifying for opposing pitchers.

 

[Bob Richards]

After getting stuffed in a sack and thrown down the river by Chicago, the Mets are now a 1/2 game back (ahead in reality, duh) of a Top 5 spot in the draft.

Can we do it? Can we out-**** the Illustrious Bottom 5™ for a position?

Ya gotta believe

 

[Cassano]

It's the O's pitching staff tbf. They couldn't pitch out of a paper bag

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

They seem to have no problem pitching against the world series "favorite" Boston Red Sox.

They seem to have no problem pitching against the world series "favorite" Boston Red Sox.

They've conceded 120 runs to the Yankees alone.

They've conceded 118 to the Red Sox + Blue Jays combined. Nuts.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That number is actually 133 now.

 

[darko]

Aaron Judge against the Orioles in 2017: .462 AVG, 10 HR, 21 RBI

Is that good?

It's not.


It's great.

 

[Fugazy]

They've conceded 120 runs to the Yankees alone.

They've conceded 118 to the Red Sox + Blue Jays combined. Nuts.

Unbelievable. Judge's stats against the Orioles this season are god like.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Sanchez's 31 Homeruns are the most by a Yankee catcher now in a season single in HISTORY.

Sanchez... Not Muson, not Yogi, not Posada.. And he missed 33 games doing it.

Yep. He would be finishing the season with at least 40 had he not missed those games.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Also say Judge ties McGwire with 49 (prob unlikely, but never know with 15 games left)

That "triple" a few months back would actually put him at 50..

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

I wonder if Keith Law still thinks Severino is a reliever?

Well.. technically thats not true.

Hes hit 4 as a DH and 1 at 1B. He needs 6 more while playing C to get the record.


Impressive overall number though and had he not missed a month+ he would have pushed 40 and put up numbers from the position we haven't seen since Piazza.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

A 23-year-old right-handed pitcher and outfielder, as a professional Otani likely would command more than the current record for a Japanese player, set by pitcher Masahiro Tanaka with a $155 million, seven-year deal from the New York Yankees before the 2014 season.
As of now, the most Otani could get this offseason would be a $3,535,000 signing bonus from Texas or $3.25 million from the Yankees.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he already has something worked out with whom ever he is signing with.

 

[Cassano]

Texas has to be the biggest competitor to the Yankees chances IMO. Especially if they re-sign Darvish in the offseason.

 

[Fugazy]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he already has something worked out with whom ever he is signing with.

I like the Yankees chances a lot for Otani. They've been doing a lot of legwork in terms of recruiting him. Having the Yankees brand doesn't hurt either.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Todd Frazier's September surge (32 AB):

.250/.442/.688/1.129, 2 2B, 4 HR, 7BB, 9K, 11 RBI

Todd Frazier's September surge (32 AB):

He's been a real contributor for the Yanks lately.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Gotta give credit to him, Chase and even Ellsbury lately green a big help

 

[RGY]

Nah man Frazier sucks! He is a total bum who should be glued to the bench. Just another Chris Carter. Don't you know this by now?!?!? Get out of here with that nonsense.
