OT: MLB Thread XLIII

[Cassano]

The Mets will never trade with us.

Also not sure why everyone has a career minor leaguer penciled into our lineup.

Are we talking about Gio or Tauhman?

Keep Tauchman for bench role.I sure wouldnt pencil him into the starting lineup after a hot stretch.

 

[Machinehead]

Tauchman. I have a little more faith in Gio who at least played major league ball before this year.

 

[mrmovies779]

He's consistently better than Altuve in the regular season.

The guy wilts, let's call a spade a spade.

Thats what i meant..in the playoffs

 

[Machinehead]

Thats what i meant..in the playoffs

"He just can't do what Altuve does" isn't good enough.

 

[mrmovies779]

"He just can't do what Altuve does" isn't good enough.

But its reality.We all would love Judge to step up and win games for us.Hasnt happened,may never happen.Altuve is a special big time player.

Judge is a special player. There's no excuse. He needs to be better in the postseason. End of story.

Judge has too many holes in his swing to be consistently dominant in the postseason. Quality pitching will expose him.

Dont disagree,but i dont think he ever will.

Like I said, he needs to stop swinging like f***ing Kyle Higashioka.

 

[darko]

I'm saying that they face easier lineups.

To a degree yes. Gray is still a very good pitcher. I think our pitching coach ruined him.

f***in Rothschild.

If that's not first order of business, I f***ing give up.

 

[Bob Richards]

Sonny Gray was also a functional pitcher outside of Yankee stadium. His splits are pretty huge.

He was absolute horseshit at home.

He could smell Rothschild's breast sweat in the small stadium.

 

[darko]

Don't think Strasburg is going anywhere. He'll opt out but Nats will pony up to keep him.

Cole on the other hand is probably heading close to home. I can see the Angels putting together a monster 200+ mill offer. Padres are somewhat of a dark horse.

And what, we're gonna sit on our thumbs while the Red Sox win another one this time?

 

[mrmovies779]

Cash gonna bring in more sluggers

 

[darko]

They'll win the next 5 at least because they have semi God Alex Cora.

 

[Sayba]

I've always liked Sanchez and thought he got too much criticism but he was brutal. Didi I would let walk. Not sure what the answer is here, we are tied down with the terrible contract of Stanton who is looking more and more like the next Ellsbury.

 

[mrmovies779]

Going to be a long offseason..Cashman has a lot of work to do and hard roster decisions to make.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Cash gonna bring in more sluggers

The Red Sox have won 4 titles in this millenium and it seems like they are constantly firing GMs. Cashman seems to have a lifetime job. Might as well be a Supreme Court appointment.

 

[ponzu4u]

the Astros batters, particularly 1-4, were just so obviously superiorly-coached than the Yanks throughout this series. They consistently displayed a more fundamental understanding of what to expect in the box.

For the entire team to have such clueless at bats, looking so bad, this deep into the series... yikes. To think there is a Yankee employee with the title of "hitting coach" or something like it, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, who will likely keep his job after the performance of the Yankee bats in this series.

 

[sbjnyc]

The book isn't closed on the 2010-2019 decade but it may as well be. Only local team winning a title is the Giants. Other local teams with title appearances are rangers Mets and devils. First time since 1910-1919 that the yanks aren't on this list. This is not a cashman problem. It's a steinbrenner problem.

 

[17futurecap]

Go get starting pitching.

 

[Irishguy42]

I think Astros fans and Yanks fans can agree on one thing though: screw the home plate umps this series.
