OT: MLB Thread Part XX: Title incoming.

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Yankees generally do well with the lower ranked guys internationally.

I think Sanchez is the only highly touted IFA they've signed that worked out.

Andujar

The Yankees have signed Rafael Severino, a 19-year old pitcher who is the younger brother of Luis Severino. He will pitch at the Yankees' Dominican Academy.

Boone loves flipping his lineup with an effective player in the 9 spot.

 

[Machinehead]

Look at that hit and run to stay out of the DP!

 

[mrmovies779]

I missed Judge's hr...what planet did it land on?

 

[darko]

Andujar

I don't think Andujar was highly touted. More of a mid level guy.

 

[darko]

You are assuming it landed.

 

[Machinehead]

Gleyber Torres is never not on base.

 

[RGY]

I am really tired of watching Neil Walker in a yankee uniform. He f***ing sucks.

 

[mrmovies779]

Chapman hitting 104 consistently.

 

[Cassano]

Torres is god

 

[RGY]

Gardner should have been bunting there. Idc what anyone says he should have been bunting with a chance to beat it out while moving the runner over. Just stupid. Idc if they wouldve walked Judge. Let Didi get a crack at it and possibly Stanton

Exactly. Rather get the runner into scoring position and let the Braves walk Judge, who isn't Stanton with the way he mashes lefties, and give Didi and Stanton the opportunity to get an at bat with RISP.

They would've walked Judge to setup double play.

Was still ok with that. Would rather have the guy in scoring position with 1-2 cracks at the winning run

I'm torn. Not a fan of taking the bat out of your best hitter's hands.

I hear ya darko but Gardner being a good bunter and Torres having the speed to score on a base hit...i like those odds better than Gardner swinging away so Judge can swing. Yanks lineup has so many good hitters ...if it was another lineup in this league i would agree with you...judge has to hit then

 

[RGY]

That Stanton AB is him not recognizing the pitch out of the hand at all.

Hit and run in that situation is what I'd go with 9/10 but that's just me.

 

[RGY]

Love Bird but you gotta f***ing wonder what he was looking for on that first pitch.

 

[Machinehead]

Man, f*** Bird.

Another gem by Boone too.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Not bunting Gardner was fine because he rarely GIDPs.

Should have pinch hit for Bird there though

 

[2Leetch_94]

Drury is still on the roster, no? Why is he on the team if he's not hitting for Bird there.

 

[Cassano]

Thanks Boone
