Re: If Yanks don't sign Machado, here are some options - Yesterday

I've never liked Machado's attitude from the get go. He thinks baseball's rules don't apply to him. Unless he hits it in the gap or out of the park, he ain't hustling to beat out a grounder. Good luck staying in the National League, we don't need you back in the AL!

Re: Stanton for Kershaw - 2 days ago

I'm all for that, but like the man in the booth once said, you can never have too much pitching. If we can get a front line pitcher for the once removed NL MVP, why not?

Re: They are not built to win in the playoffs. - 3 days ago

They could always try to trade him to the Dodgers for one of their starters. ( I.e. Kershaw)

Re: Echevarria over Machado?? - 5 days ago

Well, if we are going to go after Machado, might as well go after Harper too. One of them is gonna take us over the payroll limits, so might as well go whole hog and get the other guy too and not bring back McCutcheon!

Re: Echevarria over Machado?? - 5 days ago

Yeah, but lately it seems when we give up on a player because of injury , they come back stronger than before and usually in another teams uniform to torment us. Think of Eovaldi, Pierce, etc. I can see Didi going over to Boston or Tampa and giving us hell every time we face him, because we gave up on him. And I meant Echevarria as a temp player not as career Yankee. I still prefer Didi over Mach

Re: OH F______ Now DIdi - 6 days ago

Sorry to hear about Didi, but I hope they don't go jumping on the Machado band wagon. I feel Echevarria can be a suitable stand in at short til Didi gets back and MILLIONS cheaper! He's a great glove man and a decent enough hitter. Why dig yourself a deeper hole by getting Machado, then trying to decide who to keep when Didi is well enough to come back. I think Didi is great for this team, where

Re: Don't forget about the PAYROLL!!! - 8 days ago

That's true, I'd like to see some more hit and run plays with our guys that have some speed.

Are Happ and Lynn due to return in '19? - 8 days ago

And if Loiasiga and Montgomery establish themselves, along with Severino and Tanaka, we should have a decent staff. Unless there's a lights out starter going into FA. But we also need a new pitching coach that can relate to these guys.

Re: Don't forget about the PAYROLL!!! - 8 days ago

All depends on how badly the Steinbrenner boys want to dethrone the Sox next year, by going after Harper and some pitching to replace CC. The Sox have had their way for two years in a row, I think it's time we took our turf back!

Re: Number Crunch 2016 Backfired - 8 days ago

Sometimes it seems he doesn't realize the kind of power he has. Especially in Yankee Stadium he could go the other way and what would seem is a fly ball to right, would go out of there! I think he needs to work on going the other way during batting practice instead of seeing how far he can pull and hit the ball. I mean just look at what Voit has done in his short stint with us. Sometimes these gu

Re: Once Again the Leash was TOO LONG - 9 days ago

Have a safe off-season Toga, I'm hoping in addition to a new pitching coach, we can teach some of these guys to go the other way for base hits and not so much for the HR. Leave the homers to the big boys like Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Voit, & Hicks. Unless they happen to go after Harper, who'd just kill it in Yankee Stadium.

Re: Number Crunch 2016 Backfired - 9 days ago

Hey toga, did you notice how quickly the Boston pitching coach went out to talk to Porcello as soon as we got two guys on? Even with a 4-0 lead? Rothchild would've waited till it was 4-2 and tying runs in scoring position before going out to talk to our guy. I'm with you, Rothchild has to go at end of season!

The one big difference between Boston and us - 9 days ago

They hit with runners in scoring position, whether it's with two outs or one out, and we don't! Every time I see an opposing team do something that we consistently fail to do, it just pisses me off, and I ask WHY can we not do that? I don't know how many times this season we've had bases loaded or second and third with two outs or less and fail to get a base hit. That is our Achilles heel on this

Re: Question????? - 10 days ago

There were several we could've had if we played our cards right when they were available. And they're both playing for Houston right now who today swept Cleveland 3 games to zip. Verlander and Cole. Imagine where we would be if we had those two on our staff.

Re: Nunez - 12 days ago

Not at all, I always liked Nunez while he was with us. He brought a lot of energy and hustle down the line when he hit ground balls. And he gave us good speed on the bases. I just don't root for him now that he's on the Sux. I especially liked when he used to run out of his batting helmet legging out a double or triple.

Are you guys getting as frustrated as I am? - 13 days ago

Bases loaded no outs and we can only score 1 run? If only our guys would stop trying to pull everything and go the other way, all we needed is a base hit, not a home run. Aside from Voit, all our guys keep trying to pull, pull, pull!

Re: Lets hear it for Sevy!!! - 14 days ago

Tip of the cap to Sevy, let's channel that and bring it to the mound every time. That's the sign of a true Ace.

Re: Home run #265. - 19 days ago

Tanaka's certainly not my choice to start WC game! - 22 days ago

My vote is going to Happ! Even Severino hasn't been consistent of late.

Let it air out Coney! - 24 days ago

Man, he sounds really pissed at Gary Sanchez' inability to hang on to a pitched ball. He said it's inexcusable that Sanchez can't hold on to balls that hit his mitt. You could just hear it in his voice.

A big mystery question for all. - 24 days ago

I've got to ask you guys something, because maybe you guys have been following the Yankees a lot longer than I have. How does a guy like Gary Sanchez go from such an impact player that he was when he broke in, in 2015, to an almost non-entity player in 2018? I mean when I saw this kid play, I thought to myself "this guy's gonna be the next Johnny Bench" lasers were coming off his bat a

What the h€ll is going on with our bullpen? - 27 days ago

They're all looking like crap!

Rothchild is late again to the mound - 27 days ago

Instead of going out when CC put two men on, he waits until two runs score from a bases loaded hut by Jones. I tell you, this guy is helpless as a pitching coach!

Re: Whewwwwwwwwwww... - 29 days ago

I keep saying to myself, he's too slow to be a good defensive catcher. If we are up by one or two runs, Romine should be in there from the seventh inning on. Especially with the kind of relievers we have that like to throw curves and cutters in the lower part of the zone. At least until he shows he can catch or block those kinds of pitches without letting the other team advance their runners.

Re: WALKER!!! - 30 days ago

Definitely one of the better pickups for the Yanks this year!

Re: Rothchild Needs to Go - 4 weeks ago

He has become irrelevant to those young guys. It's like having your grandfather go out and try and tell you how to pitch to a young batter. He cannot relate to either!

They just can't capitalize! - 4 weeks ago

They get a gift from Jay's' left fielder and can't get a lousy hit to tie it up. So disheartening!

Re: Let's Play Manager - 4 weeks ago

I'm with you, I'm old school and don't like managers using a laptop to make their decisions. I'd go with whomever is hot at the time, we're here to win, not sooth egos. If you want to play, show what you can do when you get the opportunity. That's what Voit did, and That's what McCutcheon is doing. As long as Cutch is hitting, he gets the nod over Gardner in left. As for next year, Gardner is 35
