The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

Just to reiterate exactly how bad the Pirates' pen is (and this is including our injured All-Star closer):

the big clock on the wall sez it's 2-0-2-2, and not 1-9-2-2.
i mean, iffn u said 'bagweed,' or 'sinsemilla,' or even 'schwag,' the reader might know what ur talkin aboot, but 'reefer'? u still have an 'icebox?' lol.

and, on that post waving the white flag on tonites game
(here comes looie!, prolly got tired of hanging in the hot tub, smoking stogies, and having scantily clad ladies bring him frosty bev's), yammerin on aboot some make believe team from Pennsylvania, and not showing proper amazement and respect for the current bomberiest of bombers, well, he/she/they just don't get that we're


i wonder how it will turn out with bennie, brit, and carp?
they're on the team, too.
Expand ...

dang, that worked out well.
14-2.

hmmmm, '14.'
i'll take 'how many ribbys does gleybar have in the last ten days?' for a thousand, alex.
'Gleyber is completely useless btw,'
lately, every day is gleybar day.


and the hits keep coming... in more ways than one.
and now, for real comedy, we're gonna continue watching season three of 'jeeves and wooster.' it's a good one. bertie comes to the USA, and unleashes his hijinx on an unsuspecting America.

Do you still feel this way, or is it now the right move because every move Cashman makes is the right move in your eyes.

i like cashman.
i like hicks (a switch hitter) and i like joey (top of the charts on d).
this season, the record showed that the team had like the best record at the break, with those two playing regularly.
in spite of that record, cash decided to sorta blow up that squad with trades and such (any team that had benny on it who let him go is nutz. im highly confident that we'll re-sign him.)
joey wore out his welcome (not with me) and cash bounced him cuz he grabbed benny, and hairy, and mebbe thought cabrera would be what he seems to be, a top d guy who may also be a hitter. hairy is also addicted to glove and hicks' time declines.
i also liked the big lefty (mebbe he could be andy 2.0?), from the first time i saw him in april years back, but it always felt like he had to be a mini-maddux to be specially successful, cuz the power game wasn't in his arsenal, and he never seemed to win. he ain't mini-maddux, so cash bounced him, and grabbed hairy, and frankie, too.
i like cashman. life is aboot making choices. cash outranks them in my book. all he's done this season, despite being 0 fer august, is pilot them to almost the best home record in mlb, one game behind the dodgers, and seemingly set us up to win just one game at hooston to make it to the series. i like our chances, frankie, benny, brit, carp, or not.

young gleybar has returned to perennial all-star form. too bad u exhibit no signs of patience, which is a virtue. get some. the frankie story is far, far from decided, and im perfectly happy to wait, this season, or next.

now, the real question is who is on the postseason roster?
i believe cash will take cabrera, and leave hicks off.
i agree, cuz life is aboot making choices, including hard ones.
 
brit is back, but andujar was dfa'd. guy always looked like he could hit, but he didn't. his field abilities were always sketchy. d has been an obvious focus this year, so he's out. benny won't be playing in the regular, but still has plans to be back for the post.
gstant has a body of work here that shows he is definitely a sox killer.
noice. clearly, he is feeling much better, and is now taking it to all fields. left field, then right field homers in the past few hours.
another walk off last nite. ho-hum.
seems like in the past week or so (8-2), the batting mantra has been 'just try to take it up the middle, and the rest will fall in line.'
most of the season was around a ten game lead, now 7 1/2, despite being 0 fer august. also ho-hum.

pretty much ahead wire to wire this year, in, by far, the toughest division in mlb. big fun!
 
Definitely sorry to see the the Andujar news, but not surprised. Hopefully, he'll get picked up by a team that can give him regular at-bats. He showed such promise as a rookie, that you figure he can stick somewhere. I also give him credit for learning to play the outfield and, after a brutal start, turning himself into a respectable fielder. But it was obvious that the Yankees had lost faith in him as being capable of being an impact player, so the divorce is best for all parties.

hey! welcome back, homey.
things were getting pointlessly melodramatic here for a while.
are you actually zack britton in real life?
 
So....the game is not on TV. What a country. When I was a kid you had your pick, 11 or 38.

We missed another Garret Cole fail.
 
Here's my stab at the 26 man playoff roster, as of today:

Pitchers (13, the maximum)

5 SP: Cole, Cortes, Severino, German, Taillon
2 LH Relief: Chapman, Luetge
6 RH Relief: Holmes, Loaisiga, Effross, Schmidt (long man), Marinaccio, Trivino

Out:
Britton: Wait and see. If effective, would place on team over Trevino
Peralta: (injured, would include him over Britton if healthy just cause he’s been reliable)
Montas (injured, might even not play him over the other guys I listed)

Batters (13)

2 C: Trevino, Higashioka
5 INF: Rizzo, LeMehieu, Torres, Donaldson, IKF
5 OF: Judge, Bader, Hicks, Locastro
1 UT: Cabrera
1 Dan Hurley: Stanton

Out:
Benintendi (hand, will not return until the playoffs)
Gonzalez (I debated Gonzalez’s versatility over Locastro’s pinch running, speed/defense)
Carpenter (injury prognosis doesn’t look good)

Carpenter says he will be back for the playoffs, that would be wild, maybe he’s back by the ALCS if we get there, as a PH.

Small sample size, but you can start to see Cashman's thinking on the Montgomery trade for Bader. With all the focus, rightly, on Judge's pursuit of 60, Bader has had a meaningful impact on the few games he's played.

Having had him in the same division for several years, he's a great CF, has sneaky power, but is streaky. Last year he sandwiched a 400 OPS August around a 1000 OPS July and a 900 OPS Sept. So I'm sure there will be points in time where you'll demand he get DFAd :D
 
Hey, thanks for Andujar!

Of course, if he turns out to be any good, you'll get him back in 3 years or less.
 
In the eight inning and Blue Jays pitching has issued four walks. All four to Judge.

It would be one thing if the rest of the team was batting as they were a month ago but Rizzo and Gleyber have both been hitting this game. It looks like the philosophy is we don't care if we lose as long as we don't give Judge anything to hit.

the moment's right.
Yankees-win-1030x686.jpg

let's just win the whole dang thing.
 
I’m so happy for Judge! One of the great guys in professional sports and its been heartwarming to see the Judge and Maris family together during this record chase.

Extra sweet for me as my Yankee-hating sister-in-law who went to school in the Fargo area didn’t want the record to be tied/broken, partially because Maris is a Fargo guy, but also because she’s super opinionated about super specific stuff.

What’s your take @NDakotaHusky? My ND born and bred mother and father in-laws have taken the different route. In addition to their teams, they now root for the teams I like, as long as it doesn’t contradict their fandom: UConn, Yankee, Giants, Rangers…

Anywho, go Yankees!
 
seemingly unnoticed, a most amazing, unreal, ridiculously impossible,
otherwordly, and downright spooky thing happened yesterday.
well into their 2nd century of ball, with like a million different players and like a billion games, on the verysame day, one player tied the team record for home runs in a season while another player tied the team record for strikeouts in a season.

what were the chances?
of course, becuz it's the Yankees, both players lead all the rest of mlb in those two most preeminent and definitional stats of the game, home runs, and strikeouts.

un-believable. truth is stranger than fiction.
i wonder if this is another BY world exclusive newsbreaker....

(and, not an exclusive for the careful observer, rizzo looks oh so comfortable on both sides of the ball, and is now fully lethal. cool.)
 
It will be interesting these last few games of the regular season to see how the Yankees decide who to keep on the playoff roster. DJ, Carpenter, Britton and maybe Benintende all vying to make the squad. If 100% healthy, they all represent upgrades, but they are not 100%.

i like watching the zack story now. he feels great, the docs say he is fine, his ball is wickedly tantalizing, but, so far, he doesn't know where it's going. ball one, ball two, ball three, walk! next batter - ball one, ball two, ball three, walk! freakin hilarious. methinks just a re-learning curve.
im bettin on his brainpower and experience figgering it out in the next week.
looks like toeboy will start to play soon. good. that guy is great.

I grew up in Connecticut so I probably don't have the same connection to Maris as your wife. Although i have been to the Maris museum (in the mall). Also, when i moved here almost 20 years I visited his grave. It's a larger than usual black marble headstone shaped like a diamond.

I like to think Maris would be happy his record is being threatened by a fellow Yankee. I suspect he'd also appreciate being surpassed by someone whos rep isnt clouded by sterroid use.

Peraza looks great right now too, the youth combined with veteran reinforcements good problems to have.
 
'isnt clouded by sterroid use.'
this 'drug' blather is tedious, disingenuous, and unfair, too.
ol timey ballplayers were chomping bennies, snorting coke, and a whole long line of other junk, for more than a century to get an advantage, or at least allow their old bones to collect another paycheck. crap.
bonds achieved what he did, mac achieved what he did, sosa, all of them. if they're numbers stack up, put 'em in the hall where they belong. and rose too, cuz he achieved what he did, and didn't kill nobody neither, including 'integrity.' i did see a good show once, aboot the Series, some degenerate gamblers, and their sox. they brought in some famous judge to sort out that mess, cuz no one ever, back then, ever bet on sports or tried to rig the game.
yeah, sure.

sanctimonious. not you, personally, just the whole fraud of that idea.

Peraza looks like he belongs on the playoff roster, love this kid. Hicks unfortunately had a few hits in the last few and will tantalize Cash and Boone with the dreams of a 3 run bomb. Shouldn't be but will be on the roster. What is the word on Carpenter? Such an important piece when they good offensively.
