imma yuge fan of mr stanton, who i feel can mimic or surpass nelson cruz's outstanding hitting career, despite most of mlb thinking that 'cruz won't repeat last year's production.' (insert any season for nelson's last 1/2 dozen or so.)
It feels like over-managing. Yes...it makes sense to rest Stanton periodically....but don't do it when he is hitting well.
and as far as team batting averages right now, the yanks are around middle of the pack (why can't any team hit?). of course, their obp is highly superior. fire the hitting coach, fire the manager, fire the gm, fire the bat boy.
mr sanchez is a perplexing question. i've always liked and supported him, but his factual record of the past few seasons is clearly not good. on the udder hand, he and mr judge both have around 120 homers in around 470 games, which is nothing to sneeze at. count me in the group that has zero idea for the way forward with him. overall, mlb has almost no catchers that can hit a homer. a very odd situation.
nope. mr 72-53 seems just like felix hernandez, he of the amazin ability to consistently not win.
Nelson Cruz is da shizz.
as usual, perfect timing. apparently now, 'mr bestest ever,' according to the zabars crowd, gotham tv, and the entire 'everything but winning' mentality, is broken. expect a period of catscan/mri watching stuff from ny media in the days (weeks?) ahead. that day he eventually picks up a ball should be good for a tickertape parade, followed by predictions of his going 25-2 the rest of the way.
i'm not celebrating anyone's injury. not my style. i only mentioned it in the context of cole is better than degrom, and ability to actually pitch is part of that.
u are correct aboot my posting an incorrect w-l. a mistake on my part.
I agree with you and the back of their baseball cards tell us that the Yankees will start hitting. The problem is, when they lose like they did yesterday, they look so inept and pathetic. The lack of timely (clutch) hits is also concerning. Kills me when they can't get the runner home from 3rd with less than two out. I think we'll still see the Yankees win 90+ games, but they need to work on their situational hitting.
ya see there bud, you and almost everrone else here are allowed to post truths like that. im not.
and what if it turns out that this ends up 'the year when no one could hit?' i don't know that will be the case, but if so, then having excellent starters with lights out bullpens will rule the day in the end, and with having a ton of reasonably potential mashers on our team, i like our chances.
