But no freaking way can you give Judge ten years given his age at the start of the contract and his injury history.

I really don't like how Cash is basically negotiating through the media.I don't blame him for trying to save face and preempting any speculation that they were penny-pinching.

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.

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.Yeah, that was ugly. Can't do that.

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.

Please.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.

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.

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:

Alio’s diary
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.

Post by: Badger on June 25, 2022, 09:12:17 PM
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.Hicks has actually been alright outside of his abysmal May.

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.

I have to imagine we're going to try to upgrade Gallo/Hicks at the deadline. I'd also love to upgrade IKF, but they seem to like him.
Volpe/Peraza is your IKF upgrade whenever one of them is ready.

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.
Post by: SixFeetDeep on July 11, 2022, 09:39:29 AM
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.

Castillo has to be the priority but the Derby had me dreaming of Soto in pinstripes. He'd hit 100 in Yankee Stadium.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.

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.

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.

Woahh.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.
Post by: Derek Smalls on August 03, 2022, 04:14:27 PM
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.

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 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?

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.
Post by: SixFeetDeep on August 15, 2022, 09:47:43 AM
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.

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.
They’re clearly saving their bullets for the stretch run/postseason.

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.)

If ever they needed a big swing out of a struggling player.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.

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.

Yanks 7; Angels 4. WP: Greg Weissert, local kid, Bay Shore, Fordham Univ., drafted by Yanks in 2016 draft….check this out: 🤣
On August 25, 2022, the Yankees selected his contract from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In his major league debut that night, he hit the first batter with his first pitch, committed a balk, hit a batter with the second pitch, and allowed two walks before being removed from the game.
Tonight, he earned his first MLB ‘W’

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

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 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.
EDIT: if Judge were a lefty bat, the Jays would back up the brinks truck for him.

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

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)

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.“

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)

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.

I was OK with the bullpen moves tonight until I realized Holmes wasn't available. If Holmes isn't available, you have to let Trivino and Loaisiga go a bit longer.

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?

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.

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.

And then G wasn't there to bat later when we needed him.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.

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.

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.

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

What did Jordan Montgomery do this postseason? He got passed over for a start by the dominant Miles Mikolas in an elimination game
Post by: Derek Smalls on October 18, 2022, 08:37:57 PM
- 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)

If there's any outfield we can hide Stanton and Carpenter in, Houston might be it.

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

5) Carpenter - DH
6) Donaldson - 3B

Peraza in for 2 guys that play OF. IMO you don’t make that move if you don’t plan on starting himI 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.

larrydavidunsure.gifThey 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.

Post by: Derek Smalls on October 20, 2022, 12:10:07 PM
- 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.

That being said, he was in for his bat (laughably). One of the only guys on our team that could make contact when it gets tough to do so in October. They prob would have been better off DHing him lol.

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.
I’m Ok with it but Aaron Boone is still like 4 or 5 at best for people to blame for that series
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.

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.

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.
Post by: mj2sexay on October 26, 2022, 05:35:51 PM
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?

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.

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

Man, freak that guy. FFS, that's stupid
Your fans booed Rivera AND Jeter.
I mean…really?
I can't remember Mo getting booed, but I'm sure it happened. Jeter, yeah. Mattingly, yeah. It's awful behavior

Man, freak that guy. FFS, that's stupidThis 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.
