OT: MLB Thread XLVIII

[East Coast Bias]

Not even mad nor all to bothered by losing the 5 game series. So long as we didn't lose 4 of 5, Braves barely even put a dent into our lead.

Now we need to take care of business vs Reds and Marlins coming up and with deGrom likely back by than, I'm feeling pretty good.

Yeah but we can't hit. Coud have easily lost 5 of 5.

I expect some bad pitching nights due to the state of the rotation. But there is no excuse for this lineup. With the exception of Alonso, every other player is bad. Or at least playing below their normal. Its crazy

Get Hicks off the books too and now we're cooking.

That would be great..

I assume it would be Gio-Story?-Torres-Lemahieu. What an upgraded IF that would be

 

[LeetchisGod]

Stanton is lost at the plate.I've never seen a hitter slump as bad as him before

This is who he's always been and he's worthless if he's not hitting. Terrible acquisition by Cashman.

They were penciling in Ohtani and got surprised and Stanton said he would approve trade to NY but yeah if they were going to be a “budget” team then it was a bad decision

Cashman realizing that players can, in fact, bat lefty. Only a few years too late...

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

WHAT??

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Cashman said **** all the RH hitters except Judge and DJ and Urshela lol.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Whoa...

 

[RGY]

Cashman is going all in like his job is on the line

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Cashman is going all in like his job is on the line

To be fair I think his contract is up so...

Breaking news: Mets trade for Frank Rizzo and Sol Rosenberg.

Gonna be funny if they miss the playoffs, but it's gonna be fun as hell to watch these games.

At least Gallo is signed for next year, maybe they keep Rizzo if he's willing to take a short (3-4 year?) deal.

But on paper, holy hell at the Yankees lineup

Rizzo 1B
DJ 2B
Gleyber SS
Gio 3B
Gallo CF? LF?
Judge RF/CF?
Sanchez C
Stanton DH

maybe Voit in there somewhere too.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

@RGY , Cubs picking up the $$ too lol.

Yankees still in on Berrios

The only place Voit will be is on the DL. He's more injury prone than Judge and Stanton.

 

[LeetchisGod]

These moves would have made more sense in prior years when we were actually playing well. Better late than never I guess.

true lol they never bought when they were in first but they do now but to be fair a WC is well within reach

well Rizzo is playing 1B so not sure what’s going on with Voit

 

[2Leetch_94]

They haven't even been playing that bad lately, the bullpen is just blowing almost every game. Should've swept Astros before the break, blew two leads to the Red Sox, etc.

 

[Irishguy42]

WHERE HAS THIS CASHMAN BEEN FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS
