I really don't like how Cash is basically negotiating through the media.
But no freaking way can you give Judge ten years given his age at the start of the contract and his injury history.

I don't blame him for trying to save face and preempting any speculation that they were penny-pinching.

You clowns stepped on his hand too....Darth Vlader can't be stopped. Drink in his might.

Sterling has missed 3 home run calls in the last 2 games. It's gotten to the point where I put the Yankees on the radio when I see a near-home run to see what Sterling does. All 3 times I've done it, he's screwed it up.
This one is probably the funniest/saddest.

Fatty stuck his hoof on the base path attempting to get a handle on his off-balanced corpulent fuselage.
Clowns? The home run jacket's absolutely precious....and the left fielder looks like Bo Derek. Hot-dog '86 Mets 2.0.
Good team, great hitters, total assholes - that we can agree on.

Like I said, IKF is amazing.

IKF came up big today hitting a two-out game-tying double in the 9th inning and scoring the winning run on a Gleyber Torres walk off base hit.
Nestor Cortes again brilliant had weak run support.
Yankee bleacher creatures were absolute lowlife scumbags at game's end throwing shlt at the Guardian outfielders. While a Guardian outfielder previously did a no-no by "rabbit ears" reacting to them earlier (raising their ire) it was still an ugly scene straight out of Dodger Stadium. Embarrassing dirtbags.

No reason for those jerks to get on Kwan's case given his all-out effort. Guy slammed into the wall and even while stunned he raced after the ball and fired it in to the cutoff before collapsing. Great effort by Kwan; very unknowledgeable slobs:

Poor Myles Straw
-
Oh look, the same usual suspects rushing to conclusions (this is almost the sports version of Covington, except those kids did absolutely nothing whereas "stay down Kwan" could I guess be deemed as insensitive) and looking like total assholes when the actual footage comes out! Big shock!
Myles Straw is a punk derriere piece of excrement who decided to play tough guy and got lucky he didn't confront certain Yankee fans who'd have absolutely taken a swing. There was NO REASON, NOTHING in that video that was bad enough that he had to climb the fence like a total jerkoff and instigate like that.
If it's not racist, or they're not making fun of your immediate family, just freaking be a professional. This isn't hard.

I said to SFD off the board as long as those guys weren't saying racist excrement to the players then I'm taking their side over Straw.
Throwing trash on the field is dumb but I'm not going to clutch my pearls over it.

The absolute freaking drama that occurred when someone in Toronto threw a beer can on the field a few years ago says that pearl clutching is the appropriate response.
Some of these sensitive little fucks should go to a European soccer match and get themselves some perspective.

Agreed. I think throwing garbage on your own field as a fan (especially when its the Baseball Cathedral that is Yankee Stadium) is poor form, but everyone legit acted like this is the first time it's ever happened. Please.
-
Doesn't matter whether or not it's happened before, it's still embarrassing and inexcusable. Stupid drunk fans.
Fans were being assholes. Straw overreacted by climbing the fence to escalate things. But don't throw stuff on the field at the players. That's not acceptable.

Throwing trash is just amateur hour and smacks of a lack of preparation. Get in the big leagues and do flares.

Consider though that if there were that many that had no qualms about throwing 'garbage' at the Guardians then there's also the chance that they'd serve as cover for the lunatic fringe who throw other, more dangerous items (e.g. batteries). I previously mentioned that Straw did himself no favors with his "rabbit ears" reacting, yet st the same time trying to contextually brush this off vis-a-vis Euro trash is a cop out imo.
-
Rizzo is my spirit animal.
-
Throwing trash on your home field is a bad look, but nothing happens if Straw doesn’t escalate. I’m just glad they won that game.
-
throwing excrement on the fields and starting fights with players should be an automatic removal, idc what was said.
players shouldnt be expected to not say anything, but fans shouldnt be able to instigate and push to that point with no reprecussions.
anywho, rizzo raked tonight, nothing like the orioles to pad the numbers.

This.
Fans should never throw trash on their own field.
Straw had absolutely zero reason to jump the fence and start acting like a complete and total poopchute. I'll chalk it up to too many mid game greenies, but maybe he should concentrate instead on catching routine fly balls.
Rizzdog.

Interesting tidbit about Russ Ford. Nestor's looking and pitching like another crafty lefty, Whitey Ford.

Honestly a little annoying how often this team is winning and allowing Aaron Boone to dodge criticism. Easy way out.

Lol, Brian Cashman is just sitting in his suite smoking a cigar grinning.
I haven't enjoyed watching this team this much since the early 00s. I remember back then it never mattered what the score was, I just expected them to win.
Hell, I'm even enjoying Gallo (though the Ks still drive me crazy).

Are we giving Cash credit for Nestor? The man once did trade him away to the Mariners for...international bonus pool money.
Like Lefty Grove once said, I'd rather be lucky than good.

Cashman gets credit for hiring Matt Blake, who might be the best pitching coach this team has ever had.

Good move to bring him back for nothing, and credit to Matt Blake for his development. Yankees also brought in Sam Briend, director of Pitching Dev, same offseason as Blake

Today was a little disappointing. First loss when scoring 5 or more, finally scored for Monty, awesome comeback in the 9th to tie it
But it wasn't to be. Still, one of the best starts in team history and every game is fun to watch

I was working and had to pick the kids up so I missed that, what exactly happened with Rizzo?

This tweet below shows what happened. Rizzo had two low pitches called strikes (the 1st pitch was a total miss). The next batter faced the same low breaking pitch which was called a ball at which point somebody (most likely Rizzo) yelled from the Yankee dugout and was immediately tossed by the home plate ump - ridiculously short fuse. Rizzo/Boone immediately went out and confronted the ump:

Yankees add Matt Carpenter, and MANNY BANUELOS! He finally made it!
Amazingly enough since apparently this is 2014 again, they also signed Shane Greene to a minor league deal. Blakey baby work that magic.
Nestor is the best pitcher in baseball.

Damn man, I know I have a shitty rep, but I don't think I've complained at all this year, and my complaining had reduced even before that, I think.
This is easily Cashman's best job in his entire tenure, for multiple reasons. A lot of things are panning out (ex. Stanton), Matt Blake may have been the best hire this team has ever made, and Boone was my dude from the start (I defended him even early when people were shitting on him).
And paying Judge without arbitration is brilliant. Mend that bridge now so maybe he opens up to giving the Yankees a chance to lock him in before testing the waters.

FWIW, I said this even before Tino mentioned this team reminded him of the 98 team.
Also, Gallo still makes me crazy.

The name 'Gallo' is to .BA what it is to wine
-
I didn't mind the Gallo trade, but we're about a month from the deadline, and it's pretty obvious we need to upgrade the outfield. I've never hated Hicks as much as most Yankees fans, but we can't be starting two of those guys every night.
Problem is Gallo has zero value anymore in a trade. Maybe hang onto Gallo and platoon him and Hicks in an outfield spot. But outfield is far and away the biggest deadline need.

You don’t have a shitty rep. This is also the first season in a while where there haven’t been a million things to complain about
-

Exactly. And even earlier in the season he was getting unlucky a lot at the plate. He made a lot of hard contact but right at a glove. I was always confident things would start working for him.
You don’t have a shitty rep. This is also the first season in a while where there haven’t been a million things to complain about
Very true, but I had come into the year determined to bitch less. They've just made it a lot easier to keep my promise to myself!
-
To put it in perspective, Hicks in June has a .333 BAbip
In May, it was .192
-
I remember when Gary had cursed BABIP and just never bounced back from it.

It's a shame Torres isn't a good SS, I was trying to envision what the strongest possible lineup for this team would be:

4. Giancarlo Stanton, LF
5. Gleyber Torres, SS
6. Josh Donaldson, 3B

Volpe/Peraza is your IKF upgrade whenever one of them is ready.
Trying to win in 2022 not 2023 and 2024 yet. IKF is here to be a bridge, but this has been one of the best Yankees teams of all time through this point of the regular season. You have to take advantage of this and try to win now.
-
Few different routes they could go for an upgrade.
They need another SP, I think everyone agrees on that.
Two obvious position players they can upgrade on are Gallo and IKF. Gallo they would probably flip for spare parts, but IKF has always best suited for a super utility role. Find someone that can play a legit SS, move IKF to the bench, and cut ties with Marwin (even though he’s been pretty good).
I would be fine with IKF’s zero offense if he was playing good defense. Metrics and eye test have been saying he’s below average the entire year. Possibly in the bottom 1/3 of shortstops.

Few different routes they could go for an upgrade.

Pretty much all of this. I wasn't even that keen on getting another SP but the last few weeks changed my mind.

But no chance I'm giving up Volpe.

I'd give up the farm for Soto. Volpe would hurt but I'd do it. Of course the dream would be to center a package around Peraza, Dominguez, and whatever other prospects while keeping Volpe.
-
It would def have to include Volpe, if not Gleyber and Volpe.
-
The only way I wouldn't give up Volpe is if they also have to take on Corbin.
You can still have a bevy of prospects (Peraza, Florial who's at an advanced age but has absolutely raked down on the farm over the last 6 weeks, even Dominguez) and get rid of a horrible contract, but you can't have the crown jewel in that case.

Good pickup; 2022 BA .320, OBP .387. Not much power but Yanks need people to clog the bases. Now all they have to do is get him vaxxed. On the flip side this probably means Cashman's not going after Soto after giving up three prospects (esp. if he's still eyeing Castillo)

Yanks trade 4 prospects to the A’s for starter Frankie Montez and reliever Lou Trevino.

Clay Holmes had a 4.93 ERA with Pitt when we acquired him last year.
Check out Trivino’s 2018 and 2021 seasons. Matt Blake will be trying to unlock that again. He throws a power sinker, we’ve had a lot of succes with Lasagana and Holmes with that pitch lately.
Also factor in that we’re taking him out of a closer role and putting him into low leverage spots. Yanks have had so many significant injuries to the pen this year, they need arms. He’s more of a throw-in on this deal.
-
Holy excrement Trivino is sporting a .451 BABIP
Leave average this year is .290
-
Trivino is also rocking a 67% LOB
League average is 70-72%
Trivino for career is 71.8%
He’s due for some positive regression to the mean in both BABIP and strand percentage

Woahh.
I did not see them dealing away Monty today. All because Hicks freaking sucks.
-
Woahh.
I did not see them dealing away Monty today. All because Hicks freaking sucks.
Bader is currently injured, and a worse offensive player than Hicks.
The only thing that makes sense is Cashman thought he was getting another SP and it fell through. In that case it wouldn't be that weird to replace Gallo defensively.
-
Trivino was a good addition. He's always had good stuff. Really unlucky this year. No reason a short reliever should be throwing 4 pitches.
When the Monty trade was first made, I assumed it was going to lead into another deal. But I don't think the Yankees are dumb enough to let that happen. I think they just think Montgomery is a JAG and won't be in the playoff rotation, and they think they can get the same production out of German and Schmidt. I don't buy it with German, but maybe with Schmidt.
If Bader is healthy, I think he is more useful in the playoffs than Monty is, if we have 4 out of Cole, Severino, Montas, Taillon and Cortes healthy. But if we get injuries, it becomes riskier.
-
Schmidt is better than Monty. If you buy their reasoning, Monty wasn’t making the playoff roster. Bader could potentially be a difference maker in the playoffs with elite CF defense and great speed.
As great as Judge has been in CF, this is a big upgrade for CF and RF (Judge over Hicks/Stanton) defense.
-
The absolute hijinx on the freaking bases tonight.

I went to bed after Judge got thrown out at 2nd during the Torres AB.
-
I have such little faith in this team going forward. I have no faith in the offense other than Judge and Stanton, with occasionally LeMahieu and Rizzo. The defense is extremely good, but there are so many holes in this lineup, and the Yankees don't have the top-end starting pitching, and the bullpen is showing a lot more holes.
I want to be optimistic, and I don't think anyone in the AL is all that amazing besides the Astros.

Well that’s weird, the stats say they’re by far the best offense in the league besides the Dodgers.
I wonder if this recent losing stretch they’ve been on has had anything to do with missing Rizzo and Stanton?

The Yankees are 19-24 since June 24th.

Fourth best record in baseball behind the Dodgers, Mets and Asstros. When's Stanton back from his hangnail ?

I know they have a lot of injuries, but I have PTSD from the last few postseasons. If everyone is healthy come playoff time, we're clearly one of the top two teams in the AL. Carpenter is a big loss. Can he regain that form? We'll see. He was hitting at an elite level.
I would like to see them call up Peraza. With Carpenter gone, there's a roster spot open.
-
Other than service time manipulation, there's no reason Peraza shouldn't be on this roster. I don't hate IKF, but Peraza would be a significant upgrade.
I don't care if Donaldson is hitting better and has had success defensively, this team would be better with him out of the lineup and DJ at third every day. Rizzo, Torres, Peraza, DJ should be the starting infield right now.
I don't care if Bader can be a gold glove CF, trading Monty was one of Cashman's worst moves ever. Not just because this rotation stinks and he was a reliable arm, but also from a chemistry standpoint. But the stats don't cover chemistry so Cashman is unconcerned. Also, does this team have some kind of quota for outfielders on IL they have to meet?
Oh, also great job by this team pissing off Severino.

Somehow, I managed to turn the game on last night just in time for the final at bat. Perfect cherry to top off the excrement sundae.

Monty had such good chemistry with the offense that they scored 0 runs for him every time he pitched
I hated the Monty trade, but German has been serviceable so far. 2.61 ERA in 4 starts since his shelling by Houston his first start back. Of course Monty shut us down and had an 8 K start this past weekend, but this has been a pretty lateral move so far. He’s been fine for a 5th starter.
-
They’re clearly saving their bullets for the stretch run/postseason.
Pushed back the timeline for Sevvy, slow ramp up for Giancarlo. Nothing else matters other than those guys being healthy for the postseason.
They’re keeping guys like Clarke Schmidt and Ron Marinaccio in the minors so they can let guys like Luetge and Albert Abreu occupy replaceable roster spots and eat up less important August innings. We have better options but we’re talking about guys with a 2.91 and 2.75 ERA as your last 2 guys out of the bullpen. That’s insane. They probably won’t even make the playoff roster. We also have Britton and Miguel Castro coming back
No excuse for Peraza not to be up in the majors other than the idea that he needs to play SS every day. Yankees lose that excuse when the minor league season ends in a few weeks.

“ Yankees starters have a 2.66 ERA in the last 7 games. That is tied with the White Sox for the 4th lowest in MLB in that span. The bullpen has a 2.61 ERA, which is the 5th lowest.
The offense has 17 runs scored (4th lowest) and a .186 AVG (tied for the 2nd lowest with MIL).”

Offense has far too many black holes right now.
When healthy, it will be a lot better, but let's hope they can be healthy and productive come October.

The chemistry thing was with Taillon and the shitty way they didn't give him any indication he was on his way out until they told him he was gone. Plus his wife making career-setting plans in NY that are now up in the air.
Yes, it's a business. And yes, money talks. But it's time to stop acting like guys are robots. Things like this haven't hurt the Yankees in the past. They had the history and they spent more than everyone else. Now other teams are spending more, and the Yankees' championship history is getting smaller in the rearview every year.

Pushing back Sevy is good. Not saying anything to him before "Surprise, you're on the 60-day IL" is not. Again, there's a human side to the game.
I'm all for resting Stanton, but losing is as contagious as winning. And this team is getting really good at losing. Fortunately, it looks like Stanton will be back next week. He has been missed.
Good point regarding the pen guys. Let the kids get "easy" work in SWB and have them ready for the postseason. (Though Marinaccio is back now.)

Brutal. I'm hoping Florial and/or Cabrera provide the spark I was hoping for from Andujar. Though Cabrera will probably go back down if DJ rejoins the lineup tomorrow.

If ever they needed a big swing out of a struggling player.
Also Boone can try and justify pinch hitting IKF for Hicks all he wants-give me a freaking break.

I still hate Josh Donaldson but that was big. Hopefully, that's the "spark."

There are times where IKF can be useful as a pinch hitter. Not striking out a lot and getting the ball in play can be important. If there is a runner on 3rd and 1 out, striking out is such a huge negative.

So that's what I get for typing in anger. What happened was Boone lifted IKF for Hicks as a pinch hitter.
Ridiculous. As you said, IKF puts the ball in play and has a better OBP.

Plenty of reasons to be angry with this team right now. Luckily they were so good early.
Starting pitching overachieved early.
Bullpen lost a few key guys and Holmes isn't pitching like Mariano anymore.
Offense always had a few dead spots, and without Stanton and Carpenter, that is exacerbated.
Luckily the AL will have a few bad playoff teams but I do not see them beating the Astros. Would love to be wrong.

Except there's one thing you're forgetting MB: Rogers Centre's relatively harsher playing surface: AstroTurf 3D Xtreme (2016–present)

Or he’ll just go to the team that offers him the biggest contract. All of his statements and body language are by construct to drive up his price. Why would he say he’s re-signing with the Yankees, reducing his leverage, when they just played hardball with him?
There’s been SF rumors for a while but I don’t know if I can see Judge leaving a perennial contender for a team not in the playoff hunt

Awesome response on this thread here
Buster Olney
There are a zillion interesting Aaron Judge statistics from this year.
With runners in scoring position, Judge:
140 PA
36 hits
36 BB
.375/.532/.781 slash line
6 doubles
11 HR
In Yankees' wins this season, he has a slash line of .352/.439/.830.
Losses: .256/.388/.482
@bigvortch:
So when he is Shohei on offense they lose. Makes sense.
Shohei’s slash line:
.266/.357/.534

I guess the question there is whether you think that the Giants are a contender with Judge in the lineup, or more accurately whether he does.

I dunno, my gut says that he's the kind of player who would be reluctant to go from the team where he made his name to a divisional rival. He's a pretty respectful guy and he'll have his pick of where he goes, I don't think he'll want to go somewhere that will rub it in the Yankees fans' faces.

He'll go where he can win and get paid. There's a rumor he may go to the Red Sox too. If he were worried about respect and the Yankees feelings, he would've taken their offer before the season began, which was quite lucrative.

The Red Sox have re-sign or replace Bogaerts this year and Devers the next. They also have no pitching to speak of and are currently the worst team in the division. They should have just paid Mookie who was 3 years younger when he signed if they wanted to hand out a massive contract to an OFer
It makes sense for every team to sign Judge, but it doesn’t make sense for Judge to sign with every team. I think what JE said has some merit, and if you believe a word of what Judge has said his entire career, he values winning more than his personal accomplishments

Like i said...if Judge were a lefty, the Jays would throw the kitchen sink at him. Whether he signed or not is another matter.
JRam was almost a Jay, but he took less to stay in Cleveland. I don't know what Badger is reading, but the Jays are more than capable to big game hunt.

Because our entire starting lineup are all RH.
Tapia, Zimmer, and Biggio are the only lefties on the team...and none of them are full time players (nor would you bat them at the top of the lineup). We also went hard after to JRam, who's a switch hitter last offseason. The "lefty" bat wasn't addressed at the deadline either...so i'm sure it's at the top of the list for the offseason. So yeah, if Judge were a lefty, no doubt the Jays would make a serious offer.
I also believe Teoscar is on the outs. So we'll have a hole in RF (or CF if they decide to move Springer over to RF)

A friend of mine works as an usher at the Rogers Centre. He said that the atmosphere in the home run zones was pretty edgy last night, and every time Judge was at the plate the police and security were deployed around the back of the sections where it was likely to land so they could move in very quickly.

“Going to tweet some stats about Judge to try to put this season in perspective. He’s been unbelievable, and you may not even realize just how good he has been.
1. Aaron Judge has 11.5 fWAR this year, tying 1956 Mickey Mantle for the highest non-Bonds total since integration.
2. His 208 wRC+ puts him in the company of just Mantle, Williams, and Bonds since integration.
3. Only Babe Ruth (6x) and Lou Gehrig (1x) have posted seasons of more than 11.5 fWAR as Yankees.
4. Only Ruth, Gehrig, and Mantle have posted seasons of better than a 208 wRC+ w/ NYY.
5. Judge has been worth .9 more fWAR than 2018 Mookie Betts and 1.3 more fWAR than 2013 Mike Trout.
6. His 11.5 fWAR season is 1.5 fWAR better than A-Rod’s 10.0 in his best season, 2002.
7. Of course, Judge is the only player ever to hit more than 61 home runs without the use of PEDs, and just the second player ever to pass Ruth in a clean season.
Please appreciate the season you have just watched Aaron Judge have. In a year with a relatively dead ball, against the best pitching there has ever been, while playing a new position, Aaron Judge delivered the best post-integration season by someone not named Barry Bonds.
If you ever wondered what it was like to watch Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, or even some seasons of Babe Ruth (13 fWAR, 60 HR, 212 wRC+ in 1927), it was like this. Aaron Judge is a generational player who just had an all-time great season.“

The Yankees leaned super hard into defense this season at the expense of offense in spots. I'm not sure I fully agree with the strategy, but at least the defense was as advertised.
And this is before Harry Bader enters the lineup full-time.
-
Aaron Judge led MLB with 62 HR. The next-highest total was Kyle Schwarber’s 46 HR.
That difference of 16 HR is the largest gap between 1st and 2nd place across the Majors since 1932 (when Jimmie Foxx hit 58 HR to Babe Ruth’s 41).

Not aimed at you, but can we revisit the narrative that last years team was awful defensively due to poor managing? If my math is correct that would mean Boone is now the greatest manager of all time (since 2003)

Biggest spot it paid off was Catcher by far
Donaldson was amazing defensively, but without looking at numbers it feels like him for Gio was a wash
IKF was awful at times but he was def better than Gleyber

These were the Yankees' top DRS performers:
1. Jose Trevino (C): +21
2. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (SS): +10
3. Oswaldo Cabrera: (RF): +9
4. Gleyber Torres (2B): +9

That wasn't the narrative around Boone. The narrative on Boone was that he wasn't a good manager. Nice guy. Good representative of the team. Still not sure he's a great manager. Luckily, managing isn't really all that important. But I thought he should have got fired. Don't regret that thought at all.

The team didn't live up to expectations any previous year under Boone. It was trending in a terrible direction from 2020-21. Part of the reason for the struggles was bad defense and baserunning.
Just because I don't think managers aren't that important doesn't mean you shouldn't fire them if the team isn't living up to expectations. You could argue that's even more of a reason to fire guys, because they're replaceable.

Let’s stop pretending that Lou Trivino is good or that Clay Holmes hasn’t been derriere the 2nd half of the year. You were just complaining that Boone used him in the 9th the other night
No, they weren't fine, because they left us with Clarke Schmidt pitching the 9th inning in a save situation, something he has never done. How is that good management?
We had to get 10 outs from the bullpen. There are 3 trustworthy guys right now - Trivino, Loaisiga and Peralta. Boone used Trivino and Loaisiga for a total of 3 of those 10 outs. Schmidt was the backup plan in extra innings last night. Now he's Plan A for the 9th inning? Or was Plan A have Wandy get 7 outs? I'm fine with Holmes not pitching. But you need to plan around that.
None of it makes sense. Letting Locastro bat last game was inexcusable. Planning for 8 innings instead of 9 innings in Game 3 is inexcusable. All of it would be fine if the players executed, and the bloops didn't fall in, but they did, so his bad managerial choices get exposed even more.
If he kept making questionable decisions, but the Yankees had a great playoff record under Boone, fine. But he doesn't have that. He constantly makes questionable decisions, and he doesn't have the results to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Why do you constantly defend Boone? I don't get it. Even if you don't think everything is his fault (and I don't), how is he part of the solution?

I'll take anyone at this point. I think most managers are replaceable. So when a manager continuously makes questionable decisions and doesn't have the results to show for it, I think he should be replaced.
I think Boone is a likable guy, and I would like him to succeed. But if/when we don't succeed, I would like a new voice in charge. SFD is probably the only Boone defender I know.

Hicks can't pinch hit for Locastro, but he can start in left field?
I like the lineup changes today (and yesterday), but not pinch-hitting Hicks for Locastro continues to make zero sense. Hell, he could have been a defensive replacement for Oswaldo in either of the last 2 games.
-
I'm just happy IKF is benched.

Same. IKF isn't a good enough fielder to make up for his lack of offense.
Hicks in LF and Oswaldo at SS is a better option than IKF at SS and Oswaldo in LF. It's a slight offensive upgrade, and it also helps the defense in left.

They’re claiming he isn’t healthy enough for the OF yet
He’s looked fine recently but the first few weeks he came back from injury his leg was clearly compromised

Curious how Game 5 goes with our pitching situation compared to theirs.
Hopefully Loaisiga can go 2 innings tomorrow. Can't imagine Peralta can go tomorrow.
I wonder if we dust off Luetge tomorrow. Naylor is terrible against lefties.

What's inexcusable is having Locastro on the roster. Simply having him on the roster dictates using him to pinch run for Giancarlo Stanton in a "big" situation. Which is what Boone did. And then G wasn't there to bat later when we needed him.
Whose fault is the roster? Hint: not Boone.
How about Hader? We got rid of a pitcher we could really use in the pen right now for a guy who is supposed to "blow us away" with his elite defense. He's made multiple bad defensive plays--excused only because he's hit a couple of dingers. Whose fault is he? Hint: not Boone.
Joe Torre was an idiot. Joe Girardi was an idiot. Aaron Boone is an idiot. It's always the managers who "don't do much" and never someone else and his staff that has magically survived all three of their tenures.

If Taillon can get out of the 1st inning (beginning with Steven Kwan) and then settle in...

I think Cashman does a good job overall, but there is a lack of urgency with some of his moves. He thought we could win a title with our core, and we never got the big midseason addition to put the team over the top. He would always attack the 2nd tier of the market. We did get unlucky this year that all the injuries seemed to hit at once, and at the end of the year, so I can only blame him so much this year. If we decide to move on from him, I wouldn't have an issue with it, especially since many of the issues I have with Boone are likely just as much organizational issues as Boone issues.
However, it is a problem that we don't have a better option than Hicks and Marwin off the bench. Peraza should be on this team. There should be someone on the roster Boone trusts to bat over Tim Locastro. You would think Hicks would have been a good option, especially since he walks a lot, but Boone didn't trust him. But then he starts Hicks 2 days later, so who knows...
-
I think it's a big stretch to suggest Bader has been a net negative in the DS.

Cashman has been GM since '98. He won titles with Gene Michael's team, then a single one 19 years later and nothing since. He keeps the Yankees in the postseason every year, and does little else. Given he's had the top payroll in most of his years, it would be ludicrous if he didn't make the playoffs.
The bench is terrible. And that's not Boone's fault. I really like Hicks, but he stinks. IKF? Another Cashman gem. 100% agree on Peraza.
I think it's a big stretch to suggest Bader has been a net negative in the DS.
In a vacuum, I'd agree. His HRs might outweigh the miscues. But would the Yankees be better right now with Monty in the pen, Hicks in LF, Judge in CF, and one of Marwin, Cabrera, or even Stanton in RF? That's my point, and I'd argue yes.

Can't argue with that. I do think in general he does a good job, but if you think we can fire him to swing for the fences to hire someone who can do a great job, I'm not necessarily opposed. I've usually defended Cashman though. And for much of that time, he had a lot of owner meddling, which isn't necessarily the case anymore. Now owner meddling is just to keep payroll down.
The bench is terrible. And that's not Boone's fault. I really like Hicks, but he stinks. IKF? Another Cashman gem. 100% agree on Peraza.
Agree that isn't Boone's fault, but that doesn't mean Locastro is a better hitting option than Hicks. You take the best options available to you. Even Marwin would have been a better pick. The Yankees barely let Locastro hit in the regular season - now he's getting a key at-bat over someone who you gave 453 plate appearances to? And I get Hicks sucks, but he did have a .330 OBP, which is all you need in that spot.

I would argue no. Both offense and defense are worse in your example. Bader's presence improves defense in two spots (center and right). And if we have to play Hicks or Cabrera in the outfield, then IKF has to play.
What's Jordan Montgomery's role on this team if he's not starting? He'd probably be our 4th or 5th reliever, basically doing the Schmidt/Taillon role. And that's only because we lost several other reliable relievers down the stretch. And even with all those injuries, I think Bader does more to help the postseason roster.

Locastro’s function on the roster is as a late inning pinch runner. It’s not a new concept and Locastro is not a slouch at what he does
They could easily have a better hitter/fielder on the postseason roster if they needed one
-
…are you seriously criticizing Bader rn lmao? We’re “excusing” his defensive performance (1 bobble, 1 bad route) because he hit 3 HR in a 5 game postseason series? Ok
What did Jordan Montgomery do this postseason? He got passed over for a start by the dominant Miles Mikolas in an elimination game
-
So I assume
- Marinaccio for Castro
- LeMahieu for Hicks
- Montas for Locastro
Would love to see Peraza on the roster, but with the Hicks injury, we need outfield depth, especially with Locastro possibly gone to add a 14th reliever. Can't imagine Peraza would replace IKF, but a lot of the Yankees roster moves have been a little confusing.

Is DJLM healthy and does he have a spot in the lineup? only person I can see him replacing is Donaldson. We already have Carp off the bench
I would just add Peraza. Waldo as full time LF and Peraza starting SS. They already ripped the bandaid off with benching IKF.
Boone said yesterday Stanton is in play at LF in HOU (small LF to cover)
-
Peraza, LeMahieu, Montas and Marinaccio are all candidates to come up. Hicks is hurt. Sucks he didn't get a chance to redeem himself.
If there's any outfield we can hide Stanton and Carpenter in, Houston might be it.
-
Boone also said Carpenter is in play (I assume as DH when Stanton is in LF)
1) Gleyber - 2B
2) Judge - RF
3) Rizzo - 1B
4) Stanton - LF
5) Carpenter - DH
6) Donaldson - 3B
7) Bader - CF
8) Trevino - C
9) Waldo/Ozzie - SS
Plz do Death Star lineup

Preaza, Weissert and Montas added to the roster.
Hicks, Marwin and Luetge gone.
Pretty safe assumption we'll get some of the death star lineup, since we're low on outfielders now.

Let’s gooooooo
-
Peraza in for 2 guys that play OF. IMO you don’t make that move if you don’t plan on starting him
-

I think they are going to go with 2 different types of lineups
- Houston: put Stanton/Carp in outfield and Cabrera at shortstop
- New York: put Cabrera in the outfield and Peraza at shortstop.
I don't see a spot for Peraza AND Carpenter getting in the lineup.

They defended IKF as the shortstop all season. They held Peraza in the minors as long as possible. I'm not at all surprised by this. If they wanted to start Peraza, he would have been on the roster last series.
Cabrera not starting is the more confusing part, but I guess they're treating him as the do-it-all defensive replacement like Marwin.

Couple thoughts entering Game 2.
- I assume no Carpenter tonight against a lefty. Totally fine giving him a look last night, but against a lefty, I'm fine rolling with our better defensive lineup and letting Carpenter hit. Then he can be available to pinch hit in a big spot off a righty. I know he looks rusty, but he's still one of our better hitters, so I'd like to try to get him going. He should have batted at the end of the regular season, but they refused to DFA Marwin, who isn't even on the damn roster.
- Oswaldo needs to be in the lineup. I assume he's just in left tonight, but I don't get why he didn't pinch hit in the 9th last night for either Trevino or IKF. I have not understood Boone's lack of pinch hitting in big spots this postseason.
- Donaldson is so frustrating, and as much as I'd like to say "take him out of the lineup," I think I'd rather see Donaldson than IKF.
- I'd like to see Peraza get a start, but I'm not sure if the Yankees are ready to admit they screwed up the shortstop situation. Of course, they benched IKF in 2 elimination games last series, so they're willing to put their best lineups out there when there is desperation.
- It's been frustrating how many guys are in situations that they've never really been in recently. I know it's the playoffs, and that is going to happen a lot, but it's happened even more than normal.
- Looking forward to the Yankees trying to win tonight after going with their C-list pitchers last night. Going to Montas last night against 2-3-4 made little sense. Going to Schmidt/leaving him in after the bases loaded spot was questionable. Having Trivino, who is probably their 4th-best reliever right now, throw only 7 pitches was odd. I know we're hamstrung with our key relievers having pitched a ton recently, but that didn't seem like the best way to deploy our other relievers, namely Trivino.

Bregmans HR was 92mph.
He put it up in the Jetstream

Boone blaming the roof being open is kind of weak, but it's not wrong.
Both Gleyber's 2nd-inning flyout and Judge's flyout were gone at Yankee Stadium, too.
Now we just need to win 4 of 5 games against a team we can't hit against at all.
-
Noooo
I knew it was bad but… Bregmans HR had an xBA of .040

Lol expected batting average on that ball of 0.040 and yet where it landed it would have been a HR in 25/30 ballparks
Pretty clear the wind carried that an extra 40-50 feet or so. That’s so fucked

Not having their contact guys - DJ and Benny, really screwed them. We coulda sat down Donaldson and IKF/Cabrera/Carp

Yep. I dont blame IKF. He is what he has always been. A replacement level infielder with zero power.
If Oswaldo and Oswald were good enough to start in the playoffs at shortstop, they should have gotten more time there in the regular season. Everyone yelled about that all year and they didn't do it until their backs were literally against the wall.
If Carpenter was healthy in that Rangers series, he needed at bats.
If Stanton was playing LF in the playoffs, he could have done it a couple more times in the regular season.
-
Considering Girardi got fired after taking Houston to a game 7, I'd be perfectly fine with Boone getting fired after that. I was already OK with it before, but I'm even more OK with it now.

Wouldn’t mind getting a fresh voice in there but they need a bunch of other excrement to change to beat Houston. Dusty Baker has been able to manage this postseason on cruise control

Oswaldo didn’t really impress this postseason. I’m sure that’s part of what went into playing IKF over rookies that could easily get overwhelmed by CLE/HOU pitching staffs. I probably just would have gone with the kids but if Cabrera and Peraza both hit .070 then we’re in the same exact place
The worst part about IKF is that most of his freak ups are on routine plays/throws. Just catch the damn ball yesterday at 2nd man, it hit your glove.
Carp clearly wasn’t 100%, but what were our other options?
No point in risking Giancarlo’s health in the regular season, he struggles to stay healthy and then get his timing back after an injury. He never looked right again this year after a hot start and then his injury.

So embarrassing.
I know Boone isn't the primary person to blame. I've said many times that mangers are replaceable. But I've seen nothing in 5 years of Aaron Boone managing to make me think he's good at his job. At best, he's replacement-level. And he's the easiest person to change. He's also a symbol of the complacency that appears to be within the organization now.
And while I've been a Cashman supporter for a while, I'm not opposed to them just cleaning house at this point. The way the Yankees handled the 2nd half of this regular season and the playoffs was brutal.
-
Cashman is a free agent, they’re within their rights to let him walk. A new GM would prob get rid of Boone and bring in his own guy.
Anyone think they’re doing that?

Martino: “The gap between industry and fan perceptions of Cashman and Boone is particularly striking. Rivals consider Cashman one of the greatest executives in sports, and say that Boone will immediately become a coveted free agent if the Yankees fire him.”
Lol

I don't doubt that either would be hired elsewhere if we let them go. Cashman is good at his job. I've made my thoughts on Boone clear.

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner plans to keep Aaron Boone as his manager.
“I believe he is a very good manager," Steinbrenner said Wednesday as he left the Yankees player development complex. "I don’t see a change there.”

If the players are that soft, maybe thats why they don't perform in big spots. This actually explains a lot.
(Though Judge getting booed is ridiculous).

That’s not actually a thing though

Altuve went 0-23 to start the postseason, setting an MLB record, and never got booed once. Broke out of it and helped put the Yankees away.

What's your point? Don't boo your own players? I'm not arguing that. I don't really support booing your own unless it's absolutely deserved. Maybe Donaldson, Hal or Boone for me if they showed up on the field. Booing Judge is ridiculous.
But if guys are actively playing worse because of this, then maybe they aren't build for the big stage in New York. I'm not normally a "this guy can't handle New York" kind of thing, but maybe that's the case if guys can't handle getting booed.
-
Altuve got to hide behind a team that was performing. They haven't lost a game yet. And he was actually getting a smattering of boos in Houston during Games 1 and 2.
I'm sorry, but could you imagine the Yankee teams of yesteryear complaining about the crowd? This is fragile AF. Like beyond A-Rod levels of fragility. This franchise has become expert at excuse making.
And yes, booing Judge was ridiculous. I wish we lived in a world where as soon as it happened, other fans in the building rose up to mock whoever was stupid enough to do that.
But Donaldson? He's been freaking awful all year. The Sanchez-Gio for IKF-Donaldson trade has been an abject disaster.
This organization seems content to just make the playoffs, grind out that revenue and maybe "win the crapshoot."
Hal can try to placate the fanbase by spending big in the off-season and getting the payroll to Dodger-Mets territory, but I doubt even that happens.

There’s no good argument for booing helping anything either. Donaldson, Hicks, Gallo are who they are whether they’re playing in NY or elsewhere.
What’s the logic behind it? They’ll hit better if they know the fans are unhappy with them?

Just saw a clip of a Judge getting booed in the 6th inning of game 3
What a freaking joke of a fanbase
-
I'm with SFD as far as a guy like Judge.
Donaldson? freak that guy. I hated him before he put on pinstripes, I hate him still.
But they say every Yankee gets booed. Mattingly got booed. Jeter got booed. Judge got booed. It's completely stupid and any "fan" that's done that can GTFO

That’s what I’m saying. I know it’s been done before. It’s just dumb and makes us look bad

Saw a post about romanticizing George vs Hal, in the comments it said we didn’t make the playoffs from 82-93
I knew they were bad for a long stretch, but I was thinking can you imagine the Yankees fans of today not even making the playoffs for 10 years?? They would perish
Anyways when perusing George’s wiki, came across a lot of excrement I knew:
In his first 23 seasons, he changed managers 20 times; Billy Martin alone was fired and rehired five times.
He also employed 11 general managers over 30 years
Fueded with Reggie Jackson, Spied on Dave Winfield
But I’ve never come across this one:
During the 1981 World Series, Steinbrenner provided a colorful backdrop to the Yankees' loss of the series. After a Game 3 loss in Los Angeles, Steinbrenner called a press conference in his hotel room, showing off his left hand in a cast and various other injuries that he claimed were earned in a fight with two Dodgers fans in the hotel elevator. Nobody came forward about the fight, leading to the belief that he had made up the story of the fight to light a fire under the Yankees.
Where was the 2022 mental coach on this one??

Yeah, it's just stupid.
Again, someone like Donaldson who no one liked before and then was complete garbage here is one thing, but to boo Judge, or previously Jeter or Donnie, guys who literally carried the club at times, is just awful.

I was a kid in the 80s. My father's boss had season tickets, back before lux boxes, for showing off. But no one ever wanted to go to Yankees games, so he'd give them to my dad a lot. The Stadium would have maybe 20k people on a July Sunday afternoon. It was fun to go to the park with my father, but the team was less fun to watch.

Come home, Aaron. Come home.
Yall can keep Rizzo, tho. Unless it helps judge Come home, then we will take him too.

If you have Wilmer Flores/JD Davis playing 1B and batting third, you should be begging Rizzo to come

Oh no did you just use Randy Miller as a source

Astros closer Ryan Pressly said Judge getting booed at home in the ALCS was a bullpen topic during those games in NY. "I don't understand why you would boo a guy that has given you nothing but joy, especially this year...I was pretty surprised to hear him get booed out there."
Man the players on the other teams are so soft clearly this world class closer isn’t built to pitch in NY

6.50 career ERA at Yankee Stadium. 6.75 career ERA at Citi Field. Maybe you're right.

I was kidding. I just don't know who you're arguing against. Nobody here would have booed Judge.
I have no problem booing Donaldson or Boone or others who have continuously not done a good job. And I get why players wouldn't like it but you have to handle it. You aren't gonna convince fans to stop booing.

Our fanbase sucks, and clearly they can’t draw the line between booing Josh Donaldson and a homegrown superstar that can easily walk in a contract year that put together the best season in our lifetimes
Couldn’t disagree with you more. The season restarts every game. Judge could have a 100 game hitting streak and go 0fer and I would boo him.
This is a real comment I read today. These are the fuckheads I have to sit next to when I go to a game. You don’t have to defend them.

I can't remember Mo getting booed, but I'm sure it happened. Jeter, yeah. Mattingly, yeah. It's awful behavior

This is coming from a Mets fan…Don Mattingly is one of my favorite players. Ever. He had one of the sweetest left-handed swings ever and was consistently clutch. His stats are out of this world. What happened to his back is one of the biggest travesties of my time following the sport and this is coming from a guy who loves Hernandez almost as much as anyone. If he was getting booed in the 80s, wow.

The only reason Harper wasn’t a fit for the Yankees was (obviously) money, Cashman is covering for Hal there.
