2017 Yankees thread

Well Chapman just blew a great start by Luis Severino. On his 110 pitch he was still hitting 98 mph. A three run lead and you can hit 105, just throw it down the middle Chapman.
 
This is crazy running out of options, I guess if it goes longer you could bring in CC and have him hit as well, and you skip his next start and call someone up to make 1 start.
 
Play two, get one win; obviously better than the alternative.
 
Sucks to be the Cubs. They play in Colorado tonight. Late night...then lose an hour...mile high, too.

Actually they gained an hour, it was the Yankees who lost the hour going South and East to Cincinnati. But it doesn't have much affect so far... 4 in the first two innings?!

Oh no 0-3 streak, Luis, save us!

As I was afraid of they will need to retool after others learn of their weaknesses. As you can see guys who change speeds effectively will take the bats away from the kids for now, but I am pretty confident they will eventually adjust. I like Judge because he doesn't mind hitting the ball to RF and Sanchez too. They swing at too many bad pitches (Judge only recently) but again, Kuechel does this to everyone and McCullers is getting it now too. Love to see them fight back and win the next 2 will be interesting. One thing that may need to happen sooner rather than later, Headley off to a great start for the firs couple weeks and now is back to himself. Sorry but he's missed out on way too many AB's with people in scoring position since the first 2 weeks when he had 11 RBI and now has 12. He's in a nice position in the lineup to knock in runs and to me he is not the answer. Bring the kid up, what wait?
 
So Tanaka-san loses a game and it's a good thing.

It's Sterling-esque in that one never can figure out baseball. Still being this good, so far, is a pleasant surprise.

Their bats are getting weary but I still like the line up. The one guy hanging in there and above .300 is Judge and that's impressive. CC amazes me thought he was done and then 2-3 solid starts in a row again. That's all you can ask from a 5th starter. I will say if Headley gets below the Mendoza line which he is plummeting to, they need to think about Torres and making the kid a man now. Why not? If you can hit you can hit, and Chase is dreadful again after a torrid first couple weeks. 3 for about his last 35 or more and his glove isn't the same. Make the move.
 
I'm starting to feel about Chris Carter's 41 home runs like I felt about Denham Brown's 100 point game. Cool story the first dozen times you hear it, but then you start to wonder if you're watching the same guy.

Chris Carter is closer to Antric Klaiber but I get your jift.
 
Chance Adams is dealing again tonight in Rochester. 5 innings yielding 1 hit with 7 Ks. (unfortunately his opponent Nik Turley has 15 Ks through 6. [had 14ks on 4/25]).

Meanwhile No Mas Tanaka is not helping the Yankees much at all.

really nomar? no one even came here when the Yanks took the first 2 but someone had to get this going again I guess, might as well be you huh?:eek:

Actually the funny thing is you should be disappointed. First team in a while to let Tanaka out of the 3rd inning. Your bullpen was good, your hitters were stupid as all hell, can't believe how many high "strikes" they swung at quite honestly. Good game but really not much fun when the bullpens took over as both were really good.

Yeah, pretty funny. Tanaka has a bad night, the Yankees almost come back and make Kimbrel throw 30 pitches, and then take the next two like candy from a baby.

And all this with STILL not a thing from the 1B position and not much outta 3B since April. Greg Bird is probably a week away and Torres at 3B is probably a month or two away. May see Chance pitch in Tanaka's spot this Sunday to give him the extra day of rest.

That was supposed to be "our" hitters were swinging at high strikes Tuesday.

Knowing the Yanks they'll use Cessa and start Warren (3 innings). I hope when Chance comes up it isn't for damned roster moved used for day-to-day tweaks like resting a guy.

Bird was AAA last night. I see him back Monday/Tuesday. Gleyber has started hitting after a slow start in AAA.

Headley is a great guy but at .230 he's killing them in the 6/7 spots. Always comes up with people on and very rarely delivers. And his defense is suffering too. It's almost time, hope the kid can play 3rd and hit I prefer to keep Didi and Castro where they are.

I can't see them rushing Gleyber to the Bronx as long as the team is continuing to win. You might see Torreyes get some more starts, but I doubt they bring up Gleyber until they're ready for him to play every day.

Yeah, I can't see Torres until mid-July.

As for No Mas Tanaka he is pushed off his Sunday start. Replacement TBD.
 
Forget Roy, Judge is an MVP front runner right now. Hicks has been a huge steal for the Yankees, Ellsbury definetly better be the 4th outfielder when he returns, hope he makes a full recovery btw. Sanchez gets moved to the 6th hole and what do you knows his bat catches fire.
 
Judge has been the biggest story in baseball and is the frontrunner for MVP. He's doing things you don't normally see and he's doing it on a daily basis. Yesterday he hit the fastest homerun ever, breaking his own record. Today he hits a 495 foot bomb. It's unreal what the guy is doing.
 
Was at the new Stadium for the first time 2 weeks ago, the game they only got 2 hits but beat the As 3-2. Wexsat along the right field foul line. A halfway good Judge will be a big favorite in NY. A superstar Judge will be off the charts. Before the first pitch, he stopped for a few minutes on his way to right to sign autographs for kids.

In that game he showed off his tip drill skills by catching one off the end of Castro's glove on a bloop to right. Later, the season almost had a disaster on a similar ball more toward first when Judge and Carter collided full tilt (Judge somehow caught the ball.). It was like a defensive tackle hitting an offensive
tackle. Carter no little guy either. Neither got up right away. Breath holding time.
