The Official 2025 New York Yankees Thread

Tim Hill is so underrated. Nobody ever talks about him and he's never viewed as a go to reliever yet all he ever does is eat up innings when his # is called, clutch. Also, he always looks like he came from shooting coyotes, drinking Busch light, and crushing Marlboro reds.

Love Hill and so much fun to watch live. I’ve been to two Yankees games since he’s been acquired and got to see him in both games. Ground ball relievers are so underrated.

It’s a series! Gotta like the matchup between Cam vs a bullpen game.

Post #362. He’s a great reliever. 35 years old, looks like he’s about 60 but comes in and throws cheese. $3mil club option should be one of the first ones they pick up this offseason.

They have a pulse! I had been telling a friend, before the game, that Judge was hitting the quietest .400 I'd ever seen. One swing of the bat changed that whole perception. Now we see if Schlitter can take another step towards earning "Killer Cam" status. I know we don't give out that nickname so easily around here ;-).
 
Tim Hill born 1990 had cancer at age 25 and made his mlb debut at age 28. Impressive. Played college ball at Bacone College in OK

Personal life
Hill's father died of colon cancer in 2006. Hill was diagnosed with colon cancer during spring training of 2015. Half of his colon was removed and he underwent eight months of chemotherapy before being cleared by his doctor in January 2016. Hill has Lynch syndrome.
 
Team is just afraid to play in the clutch. I could read the body language that the lineup tries to work for walks only which is probably taught from their analytics people. Teams in postseason aren't walking you, you need to hit.
 
Grisham is a nice story but reverting to who he is, makes it far more dissapointing to see him take strike 3 down the middle in consecutive plate appearances, your hitting in front of Judge you needed to swing the bat.

It's just a horribly constructed team and has been for a long time. They've had the greatest hitter of his generation and they never knew how to build around him. You would think they would've figured it out by year 9 or 10.

You know Springer could've been a Yankee, but their still paying Aaron Hicks.
 
Dassit.

The Blue Jays come into Game 4 without a freakin' starting pitcher so they throw out a bunch of relief pitchers, three of whom are castoffs from other teams, and manage a Ryan McMahon home run and another Aaron Judge single.

Boone annoys all of us but honestly what major changes would a different manager make to make this group a World Series winner? The problem is more structural and this launch angle garbage never works come playoff time. We have a leadoff hitter who can't get on base, we have a shortstop who can't hit and goes through periods where he can't field, we have a second baseman who is a lot of flash with zero substance when it matters, we have a catcher who is always hovering around .200, we have an old home run hitting Dan Hurley (one of the best ever) who is never healthy and can't move.

Could you imagine Judge on the Brewers? All those dudes get on base.

It can’t be overstated enough how much Devin Williams sucks ass. They should be clearing out his locker as he’s on the mound.

Some guys just can’t pitch in pinstripes. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s back to his regular form next season with a new team.

I’ve seen enough. 1) Fire Cashman (but it won’t happen). 2) Fire Boone (I think it’ll happen.)

Yeah he’ll go to a new team and be lights out then complain about NY. I thought it was time for a change to the facial hair policy but I can’t believe it was (rumored to be) made for that guy.

Neither will happen, the franchise prints money which is all Hal cares about so no need to rock the boat. If they win along the way, it’s a bonus.
 
I dont hate the Yankees. And I really like Judge. I’m a Mets fan that was pulling for them.

I have been through plenty of coaches in my life and I just don’t understand the attachment to Boone. At some point you’re just accountable for not getting where you could/should get and you need to pay the piper for that. It really confuses me.
 
My biggest takeaway from last night (I hope Cashman also discovered this, but highly doubt it) is that despite all of the true outcome metrics, an occasional opposite field single with runners in scoring position may have some actual value.

The Blue Jay's gift wrapped an opportunity to even the series but our home run or bust approach made a half dozen average MLB pitchers look like Sandy Koufax.
