2017 Yankees thread

Judge is an example of what baseball would look like if our best athletes played baseball, and its terrifying. Imagine if Westbrook played CF..., Brett Farve or Aaron Rodgers pitched?

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.

He's already acclimated to AAA. I don't think they'll rush him, but if he's ready, I don't think they'll hesitate to make the move.

His AAA coach doesn't think he's ready yet. I still think he'll be on the major league roster by the end of the season, but they're not bringing him up to ride the bench. At this point the job is still Headley's. I don't see this changing unless the Yanks start to nosedive, or if Headley continues to butcher it in the field. Even then, they'd probably go with Torreyes until they feel confident that Gleyber can handle the job full time.
 
Contrary to what the Bible says...


Aaron Judge is God.
 
Gleyber Torres last 10 games:

14 for 40 (.350) 1 HR and 9 RBI

Tonight he was 3 for 4 with a double. Overall now hitting .304
 
I guess we can end the Gleyber to the Bronx speculation until next season. His year is over. Seems like the Yankees are under a bit of a black cloud lately. You had to figure that the storybook season couldn't continue forever, but it seems like the stuff is hitting the fan all at once. I guess it could be worse. We could be Met fans.

Clippaed has requested permission to use a wiffle ball from now on Geez it's like he needs to learn all over again. Brutal, I almost feel sorry for the multimillionaire.

Joe has been brutal during this stretch with many decisions but to keep putting this guy on the mound when guys are walking to the plate drooling is beyond stupid.

He has but I was ok with Joe putting Clippard in that spot in a non pressure situation, down 4-1 or the other night up 6 runs in the 9th and he can't even do that. I really don't know what to think of the Yankees right now, it perhaps time to think of becoming sellers at the deadline. Thank god Carter is gone now it's time to get rid of Clippard and Headley. Play Torreyes at 3rd the rest of the year and drive up his trade value.

I wish they had done what the Sox did with nothing to lose. Fister and Pheralta were good "chances" to take.

I don't think bringing him in either of the last 2 games were good moves should've waited to get on the road. But now he has to go he's batting practice at this point and a mental mess. And agree on Headley... great guy but just not an impact at 3rd offensively and losing his defensive edge. Gleybers injury was a killer for the plans there and while Torreyes is a great extra he is just that. If that's your plan the rest of the year it is time to sell as I believe this team is a year away. Lots of guys who were hot are now falling prey to guessing and change if speed pitches. Like this team a lot and excited for the future. Yet we are seeing some youth right now and the inexperience that comes with it. And the staff, well it's not pretty.

Yeah I could so see that coming with those 2 moves the Sox made, I just knew the sox would make a move while Cash is sitting on his @$$. Obviously I want the yanks to make the playoffs but would rather improve my World Series odds down the line. Gotta be realistic about the teams chances this year which might mean trading away productive players to get value back. Pineda, CC, Gardner, and Holliday are good half year rentals for a team built to win it all this year. The only guys I would deem untouchable would be Judge, Sanchez, Chapman, Sevy and Didi.
 
How about today. Make a good comeback after head case Pineda does his act. Headkey doubles to lead off the 8th. One run down with #8 & 9 due, why do they not sacrifice, or at least try once, to get Hesdley to 3rd when there are all kinds of ways he can score to tie ?

Is anyone going to the July 4th Blue Jay's game?
 
Did Bob Diaco take over the Yankee bullpen, Yanks need to forget about the division and worry about making the playoffs. I know the Yankees are battling injuries but the lineup did give the pen a 3-1 lead, Wade started the rally in the 8th, thatloss is 100 percent on Betances, ok we know Clippard sucks amazing he was able to get through an inning.

Joe is awful in close games this year has made stupid move after stupid move. Severino struck out 4 of his last 5 or so and was strong still Drop the pitch count crap and keep him in. You don't have Chapman shrink the game so that horrific bullpen doesn't need to see the mound. He's lost 3 or 4 games with his mismanaging.

Tough to watch the prospect Fowler go down in 1st inning with blown knee before he even bats. Feel bad for him.

Kid "was" going to be really good and hopefully will still be just that. Not sure how this will affect his skills, certainly it will for quite a few months but hopefully it's not a career ender or somehow makes him less the player.

It was and is hard to watch.
 
On Facebook it said they are very happy with the way the surgery went and expect he can get ready for spring.

My DNA does not allow me to ever root for the Yankees or a Yankee but will definitely pull for that kid.....unless playing Boston.

I especially enjoyed the first attempt to "fix" Clippard, the apparent "7th inning guy" after he coughed up a lead and Joe trots him out in the 9th inning in a low leverage situation the very next day. Could you possibly telegraph what you're doing a little more ? Even better that it had the opposite effect and he coughed up some more runs.

Not ideal that 2 weeks later, he's no less brutal - both Clip and Girardi's decision making.

Did anyone see in Judge's second round when he hit a one hopper into the outfield that hit one of those kids out there directly in the face?

Yeah knocked his hat off lol. All those kids running around and getting into each others way and view made me think someone was getting a line drive in the face. Half of them are very lame and can't catch, scary for them to be out there.
 
Dellin Betances really brought it last night. smh
