The Official Thread of The New York Yankees - 2022

i had no idea D Wade was now a game show host. "The Cube" is stupid, but Wade does a decent job.

Not just morons, but greedy ones. The only reason the playoff schedule is the way it is is to maximize profit and "prime time" media slots. Like the break between game 1 and 2 makes no sense other than not wanting to have games air at the same time.

I was speculating that the reason they didn't play on Wednesday night was because it was TNTs opening night for NHL - not sure if that's true or not but that was my first thought. For whoever wins, its ridiculous they have to start the ALCS tomorrow too.

'For whoever wins, its ridiculous they have to start the ALCS tomorrow too.'
general observation on the 'whines of the day' here -

'that's baseball, susan.'
'we play today, we win today, das it.'
 
Today's winner plays in Houston tomorrow night. Ughh.
 
It's early but the big bats are alive today, left field remains a disaster.

I love Nestor. Such a gamer.
 
I don't know how the Yankees can win in spite of their manager. He just took Nestor out after 60 pitches.
 
.-.
well, i beat the drum,
and hold the phone,
the sun came out today.

you know, i think it's time, to give this game a ride.
just to hit the ball, and touch them all,
a moment in the sun,
it's a gone, and you can tell that one goodbye...


boony's presser was epic. guy was hacking up a lung the whole time.
funny. fun-neh. gee, i hope the front row pressers were wearing dry shoes.
to think they wouldn't let the likes of me anywhere near that joint seemingly yesterday, and now we have the manager on world-wide television hoarking up lougies for all to enjoy.
ladies and germs, The New York Yankees. ain't nothing like 'em.
 
I think Houston is going to beat the Yankees like a Garbage Can. :oops:
 
So...I have been a skeptic this year. And I thought they would cave to Cleveland. They didn't. I was wrong.

This team is showing some grit. They collapsed in August and recovered in September. They collapsed in game 3 yet pulled out the series.

I find it hard to see them beating Houston, but before we move on we have to give credit to Nestor. He came out of nowhere to be the heart and soul of this team. He doesn't have the stuff of David Wells, but he has the heart.
 
They beat Cleveland, well done but beat Houston or it’s still another year of failure. Guardians mirror the Yanks minus the power, decent pitching and lots of crappy hitters in the lineup.

The way the management found a way to throw IKF under the bus is pitiful. Cabrera was not a better defensive option and he proved it. And it was absolutely awful to bring in Gonzalez when Hicks got hurt rather than IKF to SS and Cabrera to LF. And quite honestly the roster was awful too. To have Gonzalez, Hicks and Locastro all sub .200 guys on the roster is plain awful. Knowing there was an idea they may lose faith in IKF not having Peraza on that roster rather than one of those is just telling of this management.

Again crow will be welcome but I won’t be eating it, lucky to win one against the Astros. 27 hits in 46 innings versus a mediocre staff compared to what’s coming.

Go Yanks!!

No need to complain out Hicks, he's done for what ever games are left.

Cashman and Boone are the problem. Cashman built this team. His trades towards the deadline were a disaster, except for Bader. The bullpen is a disaster. Injuries have not helped but neither did Cashman.

Boone has no feel for the game. The Holmes "emergency use" was a joke. There is a reason former catchers make the best managers. His line ups - no words to describe them. Of course it doesn't help to have only 3 to 4 hitters over .250 for the season.

I hope the Yanks can make it respectable.
 
In response to @Hey Adrien! above, there used to be a great vid clip of a drunken Cole singing the praises of teammate Edinson Volquez in 2014 when Cole was used in the final regular season game in a futile attempt to win the NL Central and Volquez was named the Wild Card game starter. It was a fabulous drunken screed, but somehow it got disappeared from the internets.

So instead I'm simply going to post Cole sitting alone in the dugout doing his best Jim Boeheim impression.

Cashman has certainly made some mistakes. But if you're gonna kill the guy over Frankie Montaz, you need to acknowledge that three of the guys he traded for (Bader, Holmes, Peralta) all made significant contributions towards winning the ALDS. The Bader & Peralta trades in particular were all initially met with derision but look better now with some distance.

I wouldn’t even kill him for Montas I mean the guy underachieved he should’ve been better than that. Castillo this year Wheeler last he didn’t make us strong enough 1-3 for the playoffs and series. The Hicks contact was a monstrous mistake and he had to make the Bader trade because of it. Needed to get a CFer who is good enough to put Judge in RF. He lost a solid starter doing it but it needed to be done because of his own inadequacies. He’s had some decent moves but his whiffs and too much staying pat has been horrible. He needs to go!

What do they do here? Put Carpenter in left for the games in Houston and Peraza at short with Cabrera in left for games in the Bronx. That seems to make the most sense, get Carpie's bat going but I kind of just want Peraza at short for all the games. I just wish management would stop with all their computer nonsense trying to prove IKF is a good shortstop, we all have eyes.
 
Wow, nice bats in the lineup but this makes us really bad defensively and really slow. I'll never understand the obsession with trying to force IKF at short.

Thanks to Donaldson contract they won’t play IKF at 3rd his natural position. Cabrera or Peraza should be at SS.

Yankees announce ALCS roster vs. Astros: Frankie Montas, Oswald Peraza, Marwin Gonzalez, Ron Marinaccio decisions

didn't see that coming. interesting, very interesting.

Montas has a great record and an under 3 ERA vs. the Astros so maybe it’s analytics? Peraza good move, short bench. IKF snubbed for a kid who didnt play short well last night and only had 2 hits in the series. He’s not deserving of that but that’s these guys way of thinking.

Never know I guess. :eek:
