...and down goes Pineda!! For tonight, that is. :oops:
 
Yankees should trade for Gallardo so they don't have to face him tonight. Every game counts!
 
Truth is they probably aren't good enough to win it all. Problem is if you want to and they stood pat on their pitching as they seemingly have, they have zero shot in a 5 or 7 game series with their 1-2-3.
 
Cash aggravates me when he is so passive. One or two moves from being a WS contender. If we stand pat, we are 1
one more injury away irrelevance.

With Pineda going down its time for Luis Severino. He is dominating at AAA and recently struck out 10 Iron Pigs. He is 7-0.

Hello!
 
Cashman said Luis Severino's next start will be for the Yankees. Looking forward to that start though they haven't announced what day yet.

Good, and I hope they don't announce it till game time for the element of surprise fro the other team, and to keep the pressure off the kid. Im sure they know or at least have a good idea just don't wanna let the media know.
 
Still wish the Yankees did/do more by the deadline. The Jays really upgraded. Did you hear about the Mariner the Yankees went after for second base? No, not that second baseman. Some unknown batting 213.

I know George was crazy with making deals, but Cashman just seems to scour junk heaps or do nothing. Could we have a happy medium?

Nice call, dude.
 
Every game it seems like the offense has to score 10 runs to win. Even when the starters do pitch well they don't pitch deep enough into games. At this rate rate the pen is going to die, the month of August will be a Gauntlet.

Glad they are finally bringing Severino up but they did so with pressure on him as they now have crappy starting pitching and need him to perform. Not have at least gone out to get Kimberly to shore up what will eventually be an overworked bullpen is just a really awful job by Cashman and management. Pineda has tired it's obvious. Tanaka is not even close to himself, a good "pitcher" most of time solid but not really dependable. Even a Smardjia type would have helped at this time of need. Mateo was gone if the did get Kimbrell and I know they like him but Gregorious is young so why not take a chance?
 
I'll correct myself, the Yankees did get the 213 batting second baseman Ackley from the Mariners. I think we know have 4 or 5 second basemen who aren't quite good enough.
Cash's big move at the trade deadline. Sad.

And while Wednesday's game will be the most interesting one, I think tomorrow's opener will be the important one. Tanaka-san needs to give us something to feel OK about, not just more doubt and dust. Make hay when the sun shines...
 
I wonder if things would have played out differently had the Yankees known that Pineda was going to have to go on the DL earlier before the trade deadline? It seemed that by the time it looked like the Yankees really needed front line pitching help, all the big-time names (Hamels/Price/Cueto) had been moved. I'm actually OK with them holding on to their top assets rather than trade them for middling starters like Samardzija. I don't seem him, or the other available pitchers whose names I heard, being a big enough upgrade over Nova & Eovaldi to trade away their top assets. The Yankees seem well on the road to making the playoffs. Hopefully Pineda comes back by then and we have a front three of Tanaka, Pineda & Nova with a solid bullpen behind them. I'd take my chances on that, especially considering how low expectations were for this team this season.
 
Would you have bet that Tanaka's arm or Pineda's head would last all season? How about Tommy John surgery recovery and Nova? Sabathia.
Auto correct doesn't like Sabathia. Made it Saratoga

We needed a starter before Pineda went down and they might not of had to given up Severino or Judge to get a good pitcher. This was irresponsible.
Cash is pretty lucky Girardi has made some pretty injured and mediocre teams competitive.

Agree but that front three is so so iffy they have little chance to beat most in a big series. Unless they continue to wield these bats - who could've seen this? The guys who impress me the most during this run are Gregerious and Headly. Big hits, good AB's and making plays in the field to boot. Actually went from painful to watch to fun. Fingers crossed but it will be a wire finish.

CC needs to head to the 'pen and Warren needs that spot because they did nothing. They get a little better just doing that. Sick of him giving up 4-5 in the first 2-3 innings most of the time.
 
This team is fun to watch right now I just don't wanna get my hopes up, I had no expectations going into the season for the first time in ages and I will keep it that way. This team does remind me of the 04 Yankees, a great lineup and a killer pen, but inconsistent pitching. In 04 the pen got worn out by the playoffs.

There is no room for CC in the pen. He blows.

The rotation right now:

Tanaka...waiting for something to tear.
Nova...waiting for the inevitable post TJ dead arm
Eovaldi...I like him
CC...R.I.P.
Severino...allelujah time?

There is room with mop up time. Instead you elect to throw him out there so he can deflate the offense with yet another amount of runs to catch up to? Let Mitchell take Warren's spot and send him back to the rotation. Bad enough they brought Severion up during a time of NEED rather than with a solid lead in the standings. Instead the guys behind them are adding players and getting better and he needs to win or Cashman looks like a fool.

If you're not sitting here waiting for a 2 week slide then you're not a Yankee fan. this staff is a mess.
 
Pineda out until "at least September" is all you have to know - he's probably done.

Sure wish they had made a move because now desperation will surely lend then to need to give up more than they wish. Mateo for Kimbrel would have been okay and helped the bullpen. Beatniks last night scared the crap out of me - that early great control isn't quite that as of late. And seriously, you come into the middle of a pitch count to Jackie Bradley Jr and throw all curve balls in the dirt? You think he would've caught up to a 98 MPH cheese? God what were they thinking?

Still love this big innings they seem to thrive on. Strange team but fun. LOL

Hey mau. Good year so far to love the Pinstripes who are suddenly the Bombers again. I know the bullpen has a lot to do with the success this year, but I was never a fan of the Kevin Long era. Almost everyone on the team not named Texiera will go the other way often enough now that they actually score some runs without the HR. I think it's why they are getting a ton of HRs because they are relaxed and hitting the ball where it's pitched much more often. Of course it doesn't hurt either that Chris Young is now Lou Gehrig against lefties and he's shown signs even forgetting his HR last night that he isn't all that much of an automatic out when he faces rightie relievers. Looking forward to the young stud today. I thought Owens was okay, but if he only uses off speed for his out pitch, he might not be that effective over the long haul.

OT - Finally, for an elderly gentleman I had a decent golf round on Monday at Meadowbrook in RI. 42 on the back side my best 9 in awhile. I decided I don't like the course that much, a bit of sameness to the holes. Nearby Beaver River, while shorter, I think is a harder, more interesting and about $15 less. Better looking servers at the 19th hole to boot.

19th hole is much more important than many understand it to be! LOL
 
Have to be extremely excited about what you saw from Severino. Control needs to get better but nerves had to be there, held on too long a few times but his stuff is electric.

Yup. Looked good.
Curious how you felt about Girardi pinch hitting McCann. I know why he did it and it isn't the screwiest move on Earth, but Grigorious has been hitting lately, was not cold coming off the bench and has no leg issues. It seems like Girardi had the long ball in his head when a single in that spot is perfectly fine.
 
You guys have a real special kid in Severino. There are bound to be a few rough patches coming up as he gets used to the grind of the majors, but stick with him - I have a feeling he will be the ace of the staff in a year or two.

Gregarious has not only been hot but he's been clutch. Joe's had a few head scratchers as of late even with the 'pen but who's to argue I guess right?
