OT: MLB Thread XLVIII

[duhmetreE]

Idk if I blame cashman or boone...but I'll say this. Things go stale. I'm all for a complete overhaul.

The team is built for the regular season. The Yankee Dynasty had a plethora of good contact hitters with great situational hitting. The team makeup is piss poor IMO.

Cashman is rapidly becoming my most despised person in sports. He's an overrated hack.

 

[New York RKY]

Well I’ll see you guys in 3-4 years. I can’t continue to watch Cashman and Boone ruin this historic franchise.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Hal Steinbrenner is a prime example of the perils of nepotism.

 

[LeetchisGod]

We’ll I’ll see you guys in 3-4 years. I can’t continue to watch Cashman and Boone ruin this historic franchise.

People should just stop going to the games. Hit Hal in the pocketbook until he makes changes.

I wish it was that easy but it’ll never happen.

It kinda did happen to George and he complained that it was because nobody wanted to go to the Bronx for a game, threatened to move the team to Jersey...yadda yadda. The team from the mid 80s to early 90s lost that mystique and fans weren't coming out in droves. Two vids: one from '87 and one from '95. Look at all the empty seats which was typical back then.

I think they make a lot more from TV rights and licensing than they do from tickets.

Oh I know, they absolutely do. I was just responding to the notion that Yankee fans would always fill that stadium.

article in the athletic today about the attractiveness of the Mets GM/President job.

back on their bullshit. Alderson shouldn’t be close to this and now we got his Jeff Wilpon ass son involved too? Same shit

 

[Adam Fox Time]

Every other team is winning with home runs.

I'm not a fan of bringing Boone back, but the overreactions here are silly.

 

[RangerBlues]

The Astros are annoyingly good.

 

[nyr2k2]

This is going to be one of those World Series where I can't root for either team.

 

[nyr2k2]

Both Syndergaard and Conforto given the QO. Smart on both counts. I assume Conforto will walk and we'll get the pick after the Competitive B round and Syndergaard will sign and possibly extend. Either way, we'll have the opportunity to get something for both players, which is nice.

 

[sbjnyc]

No QO for kershaw. Wonder if the yanks make a play for him.

I'm so sick of Alderson.

Yankee stadium attendance didn't peak until A Rod came, 4 years removed from the championship days. They saw a 310k fan jump from 03 to 04 (A Rod's first year). It peaked in the 3 years about 4.3 Million fans 2006, 2007, 2008 (last at Yankee Stadium II).

They haven't sniffed 4 Million since moving to the House next to the House that Ruth built, IDK if it's even possible to draw that many with its lower capacity.

 

[East Coast Bias]

This is a shame. I really liked Conforto. Had a bad year, but so did everyone. He’ll prob rake for someone else

 

[East Coast Bias]

Peak shithousery. Everyone’s a snow flake and afraid of NYC. It’s not the city, it’s you ya assclown

It's tough. Conforto feels like one of those guys that if we sign him, he'll be shit for years until Cohen buys him out. Instead, he'll go sign with a good franchise and hit 40 homers for the next five years.

 

[sbjnyc]

I guess they need a GM before they go to the GM meetings.
