The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

[billythekid]

More good news, Yankee fans. I'm out of the country this week and won't be able to make it to Coliseum to see the Yanks play Oakland ;-). Maybe this mini win streak can continue

What ever happened to Oneil Cruz?

Revisiting this... earlier in week Cruz hit a 366 ft HR on a 41 degree launch angle that peaked at 152 ft arc.

Then today:

Oneil Cruz crushes hardest-hit ball possibly ever

PITTSBURGH -- Oneil Cruz was born to break Statcast. The Pirates’ 6-foot-7 shortstop has already set marks with his crazy strong arm, but in Wednesday’s 14-2 loss to the Braves, he recorded the hardest-hit ball in Statcast history with a 122.4 mph single that nearly went out for a homer

Dude is a unicorn. If he ever puts it together regarding pitch recognition, holy hell.

Nice hustle out of the box there.

Hustle hasn't been an issue with Cruz at all. I'm confident he thought that was gone. It would've been an HR in 26 other parks.

thoughtful.
The Yankees are coming back to life. Crisis averted?

hey, giancarlo come on down!

Nasty Nestor....see ya!!

this feels a lot like the looie thing, where he was mad at being put on 60 day. management said, 'u've had some stuff in the recent past, so, go home, take a hot shower, and go to bed. u can watch the tv if u like, cuz we don't need u now.'
i think the same for nestor. he's at career high in innings, i think, and has some minor stuff annoying him.
'go home, nestor, put ur jammies on. u, too, can watch the tube if u like.'

in the meantime, with no looming disasters of a real kind, as opposed to fake disasters of a new yak media kind, it gives them a chance to try out some new arms, and looks.
13 runs? looks like g is back. it only takes a tiny bit of cider vinegar to make pounds of potato salad taste right.

Potato salad is disgusting in all stylies.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Nah. It's a well deserved vacation for Nestor.

His previous season total innings:

'16: 106
'17: 104 2/3
'18: 115
'19: 111 2/3
'20: 7 2/3
'21: 108
'22: 131

Clarke Schmidt has only pitched 66 innings this season, so with the Yankees' lead it's a good time to rest Nestor, stretch out Schmidt a bit and then bring Nestor back right before the @ Red Sox series on 9/13 to allow him three weeks to stretch back before the playoffs.

BTW, well timed west coast trip for me. It's the crazy part of the school year and we do a three night overnight in NJ next week and return in time for Twins/Yankees during Gleyber Day weekend.

Britton made it through 10 pitches during a rehab assignment before having to leave with the trainer. Chapman getting an infection from a tattoo and off to the 15 day IL for him. Hopefully Holmes regains his confidence when he returns because we’re going to need him.

hehe, hey chappy! go soak ur leg in epsom salts, and chomp on some antibiotics! eat more yogurt, too!
we've got sooo many arms floating around, why, it's an arm-y!
as of now, mr german is thought of for bullpen duty in the playoffs.
nice to not only see mr boones faith in his judgement on johnny lasagna, but also johnny's proving him correct.
man down, next man up.

 

[Scoe]

1 hit through 11 innings, only scored 2 runs because of wild pitches this lineup still sucks need to rely on Judge homering every game, you know they will give Stanton 2 days off a week I'm sure.

 

[mauconnfan]

5 hits in 20 innings versus the 48-81 A’s.

Yep, they’re back alright

'i did see that joke of a broadcast on sunday, where alex, who i greatly enjoyed as a player, lost his mind in criticism for the Yankees.
he's getting fat and sloppy, too.'

yeppers, fat and sloppy.

'Duffey is the third right-hander to join the Yankees organization in the past 24 hours, as both Chi Chi Gonzalez and Jacob Barnes agreed to minor league contracts with the Yanks just last night.'
Yankees to sign reliever Tyler Duffey following release by Twins
cash and rocky on the job 24/7.
as usual, lots of horse races in the league heading into september, all of them bullpen dependent.
what aren't they loading up on arms? stuff happens on the injury front all the time.
there could be a tsunami, cane, earthquake, emp, hail, locusts and frogs, at any time, but we are always all 'nevermind' at my home.
pantry always loaded up. wells, firewood, mebbe sum chateu briand, poully fuisse, montrachet, doritos, and, most important, lots of cans of mushrooms. always.
except for the chocolate covered devil dogs. hard to find lately.
now, that's a shortage.
time for a golf vacay. of course, near the saltwater.
mebbe i'll get that back to back sub 80's this time. who knows? who cares. not my biggest concern.

 

[McLovin]

No doubt that Brian Cashman buys all his brand name clothing from goodwill.

You’re one creative sonoma beech!

Wow, tonight was a castration with rusty grade-school scissors. You know, those little all-metal jobbers.

Errors by Donaldson and IKF. Then Coles' mentally weak pitch to Ohtani.

And the top of the 9th there.

Gack!!

3 hits ..... no Judge HR ..... no W

Unless teams are behind in the game and people are on base he’s not going to see any good pitches. No one else scares them. But hey Cashman signed a couple of pitchers others didn’t want right? Lol he’s the problem per usual.

Judge even stole 2nd in the 9th after being walked, I guess he should’ve stolen 3rd and homeplate I guess.

You know who also made it to The Show today? Yep, Ken Waldichuk!

Started for the A's today. Went 4 2/3 innings striking out 6 and throwing 93 pitches. The bullpen blew it, tho. We have Frankie Montas, tho.
