This offense HAS to get going again! - 5 days ago

Tired of always having to look up at the other team in the early going of a game. Once in a while I'd like to see us get off to an early lead and HOLD it! Too many of the other guys get the quick drop on us and we have to play come from behind. Bad habit to keep going like that.

Re: Wild Card Opponents? - 5 days ago

Well, according to Yankee broadcasters, when Boone was asked on why Cessa instead of Adams, Sheffield? His response was because of Cessa's experience. A young guy like Adams will not get experience unless you allow him to pitch. In his one and only appearance, he presented himself very well, earning at least another starting shot. We've seen what Cessa brings to the table, which isn't very much,

Re: Wild Card Opponents? - 5 days ago

I'd love to see the Yanks win the east also, but that's not gonna happen this year UNLESS the Sux tank in the coming month and a half, and the rest of the teams stop rolling over for them! And we have to stop playing .500 ball, win one, lose one to inferior teams. Simple as that. Boone's decision making is starting to get questionable on pitching,when he chooses not to give Adams a second start o

Re: 3 out of 4 ain't bad.. - 9 days ago

Well, if the rest of the league would stop playing like the sux' b**ch's and play them they way they play us, then maybe, just maybe, we can cut into their lead. But then we also have to take care of business when we play them, and not roll over like we did the last time.

Re: Michael Kay ripping Aaron Boone - 10 days ago

I'm with you on this. If you're gonna pay a guy to manage, let him! Not just to pencil in the names a cyber metrics program spits out. If someone is hot, you don't cool him off by giving him a day off. I don't care if a guy is scheduled to take a day off, if you're hot, you're gonna play until you hit a slump or cool off. You don't see Francona giving Betts or Martinez a day off after they've hit

Re: Is Shane Robinson Boone's nephew or what? - 14 days ago

And yet, we have a slasher type hitter in Ronnie Torreyes floundering down in Scranton instead of helping us up here. I'd take him over Robinson any day!

C'mon, these guys are 30 games under .500 - 14 days ago

We should be able to handle this team with ease, not be struggling to score runs! That's the problem with this years team, we lack the killer instinct to put away these lighter teams, even after a masterful performance by C.C., we keep letting these teams hang around by keeping the score close instead of pulling away. I'm so frustrated by this aspect of this years team!

Is Shane Robinson Boone's nephew or what? - 14 days ago

Don't know why Gardner's not in there instead of Robinson? Boone likes to manuver that lineup around as much as Girardi use to. I don't think Gardner is that decrepit that he needs that many days off, and we're stuck with that lame duck out there. Robinson can't hit his own weight. When is Florial gonna push him out of the way?

Re: Why didn't Yankees make an offer to Padres for Tyson Ross? - 15 days ago

I was thinking that you can never have enough starting pitching, and I'm not really sold on Sonny Gray. He just hasn't been consistent enough, even going back to last year when we acquired him. Every time he takes the mound, you're waiting for that one inning when it all blows up and he forgets how to get guys out. I hope we found some lightning in a bottle with Lance Lynn. He pitched a great fir

If Lance Lynn pitches like this the rest of the way... - 15 days ago

I do not mind at all, if the Yanks trade Sonny Gray to the National League for a different starter. Maybe a change of league and venue will be better for him and us. Great job so far by Lynn!

Why didn't Yankees make an offer to Padres for Tyson Ross? - 16 days ago

If the Padres were going to put Ross on waivers, why didn't we offer at least a AA or single A player for him? What are the Cardinals offering after claiming him off waivers?

What is it with Pierce becoming a Yankee killer all of a sudden? - 17 days ago

Yesterday after the first hr, he should've been brushed back, after the 2nd one he definitely should've been. After the 3rd one, he should've been plunked. Our pitching staff is a bunch of wusses! Man, I wish we had someone with the guts of a Don Drysdale or a Bob Gibson! They definitely would send a message after a guy hits two hrs, let alone three! And then the same idiot hits his 4th off us in

Re: Preferred Yankee Lineup (temporary till Judge returns) - 20 days ago

I would, but I think the front office is enamoured with his power and overlooks his defensive skills, or lack of. If ever the DH spot was a sure fit, this would be it,but I think they're afraid of going the David Ortiz route.

Preferred Yankee Lineup (temporary till Judge returns) - 20 days ago

Gardner - LF Stanton - RF Didi - SS Hicks - CF Bird - 1B Torres - 2nd B Andujar - 3rd B Walker - DH Romine - C That should be the day in, day out lineup as long as we're chasing the Red Sox. None of this experimenting with moving guys in and out of lineup. Robinson and Higashioka and Wade should remain on bench unless they come in for defensive purposes. That line up gives us the best

Re: Why is this anemic lineup beating us today? - 20 days ago

Don't know why they're so fond of this guy Shane Robinson, the guys a rally killer. They have to have better hitting outfielders in their minor system that they could bring up temporarily. This guy Robinson just doesn't impress me at all.

Re: Why is this anemic lineup beating us today? - 20 days ago

If I were Boone, I'd demote Gray to bullpen and stick Lance Lynn in Gray's spot to see how that works out. Couldn't be any worse!

Why is this anemic lineup beating us today? - 20 days ago

You got at least two guys hitting .170 or less, another barely over .200 and yet we're losing 5-0?

Re: Tyler Austin traded to the Twins for Lance Lynn. - 22 days ago

Sorry to see Austin go, wasn't completely sold on Bird. Too injury prone, kinda soft for major league player.

Great comeback win in night cap. - 24 days ago

Now let's go out and win this series tomorrow afternoon!

The ONE complaint I have about this offense is.... - 24 days ago

They take way too many pitches. Fifty percent of the time, they are right down the middle. Then because they have one swing left, they swing at pitches out of the strike zone. Gardner for one, takes too many pitches right down the middle of the plate, Sanchez, when he's in there does the same thing. I wish we had a hitting coach that preached aggressiveness, instead of so much patience. Maybe I'm

It is so frustrating... - 24 days ago

Why we can't mop up on these last place teams the way Boston does when they play them! Makes me want to throw stuff at the tv!

Re: So much for the comeback. - 24 days ago

He had Shreve warming up the inning before, don't know why he decided on Robertson with the lefty hitters coming up. Like I said before, his decision making today is a puzzler.

Re: I'm concerned about Severino. - 24 days ago

It's like O'Neile said, if we had scored in that second inning, Sevy may have had a different mind set of pitches to utilize the rest of the way. It's disheartening to a pitcher when your team gets a golden opportunity and fails to give you runs.

Re: Why Robinson? - 24 days ago

I'd rather have a more potent bat like Tyler Austin than Shane Robinson or Tyler Wade. And why hasn't Ronald Torreyes been recalled?

This first game is history! - 24 days ago

Should've guessed the outcome when Andujar and Gardner weren't in the lineup, and we blew that scoring op in the second inning. Boone's decision making today so far is questionable.

Why Robinson? - 24 days ago

Of all the outfielders they have in AAA and AA, why did they bring up a guy who doesn't even have 1 home run to his name? Who the heck do they have playing the outfield in Scranton? Is Boone scratching his head, or was that a Cashman decision? And why isn't Andujar playing third and Walker at second? It's like Boone wants to give games away. My bad, I overlooked Torres at second base., So sorry g

Re: From the Yankees official website.. - 26 days ago

At least we still have Torreyes and Walker to fill in when needed.

Re: Eovaldi traded to the Red Sux. - 26 days ago

That's what I find hard to accept. Here we're scuffling to find decent starting pitching and we couldn't come up with one prospect to offer for Evoldi? C'mon Cashman!

Re: Sanchez on 10 day DL - 26 days ago

I totally agree, that being said, someone in the front office I.e. Cashman, needs to tell Sanchez that his lack of hustle will not be tolerated and if it continues, it will be with another team!
