OT: MLB Thread Part XXVIII: Vote Starlin Castro for the ASG

[Machinehead]

Is it the ballpark? I can't imagine its JUST the ballpark.

It's Larry Rothschild.

We could dig up Cy Young and give him senzu bean. It's not going to matter until we fire Rothschild.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

That and when was the last time he actually traded for a pitcher that was good for the Yankees?

**** Cashman.

Apparently the Blue Jay's are asking for Torres for Stroman. You giving that up for him? I sure wouldnt.

I sure as hell am not.He isnt worth Torres.

The Blue Jays are a dumpster fire of an organization. Laugh out loud funny that they are asking for Torres.

Heard the Mets did too.

Who is the comparable these teams are getting elsewhere? Seriously what a f***ing joke.

I know this isnt going on, but it's almost like these teams with assets to sell are talking, trying to drive up prices with the new hard trade deadline.

Seems the asks for any pitcher available is Torres or Garcia.

Thats great. Whats the ask for the comparable to Torres.

Who is the Torres, that is already an All Star in his 2nd full season in the league at 22, that they are asking from the Padres, the Brewers, the Braves.

I expect Albies to be requested in talks then. I expect Tatis to be asked for.

Its a f***ing sick joke that the Blue Jays and Mets are asking for that. Cut off the nose to spite the face. Dont deal with the Yankees and ask for their best prospects, ask for their All Star 2B, or else dont deal with them and take less (fair package) from other teams just to spite the Yankees.

Incredible.

It's the Yankee tax nothing new.

Some teams are colluding against them winning 28.

Those organizations deserve what they get. They never win.

 

[Leetch3]

Guys are good, come to the Yankees and suck, leave and are good again.

The problem is here.

as a mets fan this might be the funniest thing that I've ever read. I can only imagine the horror of winning 100 games and not having an amazing player at every roster spot

 

[RGY]

The Mets Organization is the definition of a science experiment

 

[LeetchisGod]

Weird seeing a well pitched game so far.

 

[RGY]

 

[LeetchisGod]

Spoke too soon. That pitch to Matinez was utter garbage.

 

[ThirdEye]

Who DIDN'T see that homerun coming

 

[LeetchisGod]

All of our starters specialize in the meat pitch. Not a recipe for success.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Terrible. This team as presently constituted is going nowhere in the postseason. Cashman has a lot of work to do.

With pitchers it's absolutely true, especially starters.

 

[Machinehead]

This team gets more out Eduardo Rodriguez and Nathan Eovaldi than we do out of Tanaka, Paxton, and Severino.

 

[JimmyG89]

Yankees never push their starters enough. I think it's a big reason they never develop beyond being very good against bad teams and early exits against the contenders.

Challenge these guys. Sabathia isn't one to go long in games, but Paxton? He needs to be pushed. When Severino comes back, they need to do it to him too. They coddle these guys. It's been that way since Joba/Hughes/Kennedy were coming up.

Lean on the pen all the time. It's their biggest hurdle to becoming a team that will win titles.

 

[RangerBlues]

Those Philly throwbacks are a sight

 

[Bob Richards]

Did Matz just throw a Maddux lol

 

[darko]

Did Matz just throw a Maddux lol

Yup. 99 pitches.

 

[darko]

This team gets more out Eduardo Rodriguez and Nathan Eovaldi than we do out of Tanaka, Paxton, and Severino.

Eovaldi has ERA north of 6.

 

[darko]

George Steinbrenner is rolling over in his grave.

He is watching this nerd Cashman do everything opposite of what he did to secure championships.

You go get the best available. You dont get outbid.

Verlander, Cole, Corbin, Keuchel. Cashman is a clown.

Pitching wins.

Keuchel didn't want to go to Yankees. There were question marks on Verlander, Astros fixed him. Would we do the same? Again, Corbin has 5+ ERA outside of Bats park. Imagine Corbin pitching half of his games at YS. We'll get a chance at Cole in few months.

 

[JimmyG89]

That nerd cashman has put together a team that has the chance to win for a decade. Guess that's not enough
