The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

I hope I’m wrong about this, but it seems Waldichuck would have been more valuable to the team this year out of the pen than “upgrading” our 3rd/4th starter from Monty to Montas… that trade of Waldichuck is going to look worse and worse as the years go by. Mark my words.

Montas was supposed to be a two. Unfortunately, he hasn't pitched like one.

He needs to pitch like the guy that has a 2.40 ERA versus Houston in his career. Has to change soon they are in complete shambles. Lucky to win the East
 
I had a terrible feeling about Montas as soon as I heard his stats with the A's were far better at home than on the road. For a few reasons Oakland is a very pitcher friendly ballpark. There is more foul territory there than Yankee. Fenway and Camden Yards combined. The outfield (especially power alleys) are deep and afternoon games have shadows that impact the batter's vision.

I'm accepting the reality that Cashman will have his job until he's ready to retire but he should be forbidden from ever trading for an Oakland A's pitcher again.

I’m insane huh? And a genius huh? Not good at this huh?

Called it a long time ago I’m afraid Cliffy Stiffy. Shut out yet again and now up 7 in the loss column. The pitching has hung in there not great but good enough to win if this team could hit. Judge cools off and they’re just not that good.

But hey they should be fine once the playoffs start :rolleyes:

So you are admitting you have dry feet? ;)
 
Shut out for the 5th time this month. Now 6 series this month without a series win. Ugh.

I was really hoping that walk off slam was going to get this team out of the funk. Guess I got my hopes up too soon.

At this point, I hope the wheels fall all the way off and they miss the postseason. Because I think that’s about the only thing that might get Hal to consider a new front office staff (which we as a fan base desperately need)

Your manager is well overrated as well we don’t want either. Rosters offensively healthy I would make that trade. Well prior to injuries and trades at least.

If you had our guy, you'd be 5 games better now, minimum.

Nah as I said overrated. He was solid with garbage cans and cameras though I agree. It’s not the manager it’s crappy hitters and baseball players. But feel free to jack off on the guy 15 games back of an awful team lol
 
Improvement from the lineup have a run and leaving men on base lol.

Lineup puts up 2 runs yay. I won’t blame Cole for the loss but his entire demeanor changes when 1 thing doesn’t go his way, like the leadoff double he gave up where Jays scored 4 runs thus ending the game. Yes he works hard and is fiery but he lets things get to him too easily. I’m calling it right the Jays are winning this division, hopefully I do jinx them, I’m just calling what I see right now honestly.

Well that’s good to see and Boone is hardly the problem this year now where was this a month ago doing some things that should’ve been done a long as time ago such as batting Judge 3rd, calling up Cabrera earlier, and getting rid of Gallo in June.
 
“we don’t score, it’s tough to win” - Aaron Boone

analytics department runs their models

“We’ll actually based on our models for the teams we’ve created…” - some nerd who doesn’t understand baseball.

In all seriousness though, this is exactly how this team was built. They can score in spurts but they also don’t have the hitters capable of sustaining any type of rally when the balls aren’t leaving the park. So the disappearing act isn’t surprising.

And that’s the problem with a computer produced roster. Over 162, the end results can (and probably will this year) cover up any dry spells. But playoff baseball isn’t 162 games long. It’s 5-7 games max. The front office doesn't understand that, which is why a team built like ours is such a liability over any short sample of games and in October.
 
Yankees are not happy that they only have the biggest playoffs collapse in baseball history, they want to have the biggest regular season collapse as well.



The Yankees were up by 15.5 games in early July.
 
I have a question that not long ago would have been viewed as a joke: can this team get to 90 wins this season? Considering that they hit 60 wins at basically the midpoint of the season the records of the first 81 games vs the last 81 (when compared at the end of the season) will be mind boggling.
 
Don’t worry. They will get to 90 wins and will make the playoffs. All just to break our hearts come October.

Are you sure they can go 17-24 the rest of the way?

The Sox of 2011 had a 9 game lead early September and went 7-20 thereafter. And they were up 14 1/2 games on the Yanks in ‘78. Plenty of other collapses and honesty those teams were better than this Yankee team. This was bound to happen with this roster I never doubted it was coming.

Fun fact none of you will care about: Mercurial Pirates prospect Oneil Cruz was named after his father's favorite player: Paul O'Neill.

What ever happened to Oneil Cruz?

Poor pitch recognition, can't hit an MLB curve.

That said, we're hoping it's just rookie adjustment. He's basically a tad below where Strawberry was after his first 200 PAs. Straw was hitting .200 with 9 dingers. He got a lot better in the last couple of months, finishing at .258 with 20+ HRs. However, he had a month+ head start over Cruz as Straw was activated in early May and Cruz not till mid-June.
