OT: MLB Thread XLVI

[Machinehead]

Just the second best team in the series, like every other year.

How many more times we gotta watch this before we try something else?

 

[ThirdEye]

Green has been bad this year also.

His pitching staff is absolutely stacked... Don't know about no resources

 

[ThirdEye]

But yeah, doesn't look like our year once again. Just hope Tampa doesn't go on to win it all

Compare the payrolls. It's not close. We're paying Crapp $17 million a year to throw battting practice. Their entire bullpen probably costs less than that.

Talking about overall quality without respect to how much $$ they make

That's my point though. The Rays GM is doing more with less monetary resources.

 

[Machinehead]

As soon as I saw Charlie Morton, I said "I shouldn't even watch this game."

Somehow, I get that, and Boone doesn't. He chose to f*** around with an opener last night instead of tonight in a game we were never winning anyway.

 

[ThirdEye]

Ugh, really thought they were going to get something going there

Hell of a playoff from Stanton, shame it’s most likely going to be wasted.

Think the biggest reason for his monster post season is no fans. Hope he doesn't get too used to it

 

[RGY]

Shouldve just let Frazier stay up there.

 

[17futurecap]

Putting up Mike Ford.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Judge has been atrocious. 3 for 25 with 9 Ks.

 

[mrmovies779]

Not much else to say.This team is limited when it matters most in producing quality at bats.Too many easy outs for opposing pitchers.The bullpen is a disaster as is the rotation after Cole.If Cashman survives the off-season,this team needs a major overhaul in multiple areas

 

[MysticLeviathan]

The team’s terrible pitching is what’s killing them. They’ll find ways to score runs, but they need to stop the opposition from scoring.

The terrible umpiring in the bases loaded Voit AB turned the whole game around. Damn shame.

Sadly, Cashman seems to be untouchable for some reason.

Career in the playoffs...233 average with 49 strikeouts in 120 at bats

 

[RGY]

All for it. But it wont happen because of his issues with Cole

Hey anybody here remember when the Rays drafted Glasnow? Remember when the Rays drafted Charlie Morton???

Oh you mean they traded for Glasnow and signed Morton. You mean their GM actually did his job when it came to pitching needs?!?!?

Instead Cashman Signs guys like Happ and holds on to Frazier, who he won't even start over the rotting corpse of Brett Gardner and holds onto Andujar who is someplace in an alternate universe because he can't stop a beach ball in this one.

Yankees have been to the World Series in every decade since the 1920s...except for the one where Brian Cashman had total control of the team that represented the Yankees on the field. He's made some good and great moves during his tenure as GM, no doubt, but at some point it's a results business and with all the money he has to play with at all levels, the results just aren't there.

 

[mrmovies779]

Sanchez .173 average with 44 strikeouts in 110 at bats.This is why it's time to move on from him.

...with all the money they are paying Cole, he can learn to shut up, play nice and live being on the same staff as the prick.

He also traded for Sonny Gray instead of Verlander. That move might have cost us multiple titles.

...and could have had Cole two years earlier. (Unknowingly) keeping him from the Astros and could have extended him to a big contract right away which would have saved them a couple of mil a year. Sheffield was one of the untouchables at that point. Instead they used that bullet on the oft injured Paxton.

He is going to get a nice big contract from us, because of course he is, and that will hang this team for the next decade. We won't win with him.
