Agree. If George was in charge the entire lot would have been looking for a way home last night. Hal only cares about the bottom line so if they stayed under the cap and they r competitive enough to get fans he’s happy
Great job by him. I wasn't expecting that performance.
This. George expected competitiveness and fire. It’s just not there, and it’s quite evident. Stanton and Rizzo seemed to be the only non-pitchers with some passion. -bomb from Stanton after Nevin’s horrible green light for Judge stood out. Biggest disappointment was Cole. He hasn’t had good stuff for over a month and he looked terrified on the mound last night. I know his philosophy is closer to taskmaster Girardi than buddy-buddy Boone, but Showalter got shafted his first time around with the Yankees. He’s older now, but he is the right guy to right this sinking ship.
Spider-tack less Cole will be a salary cap mess for the next 5 years. I’m hoping the next collective bargaining agreement doesn’t have a cap allowing Hal to spend some $$
I’ve been saying for a while now that Cole going from ‘good’ to ‘God’ in the last few years is a bit suspicious. I think his hamstring was still bothering him but he tried to pitch through it last night. I’m happy to have him bc he’s still an ace, but between his monumental improvement and the way he answered questions earlier in the year, there’s no doubt he benefited from Spider Tack or whatever it is and he was adjusting on the fly all year when he couldn’t use it.
The sting was lessened after 2004 and gone for me after 2007. By 2018, the role reversal was complete. Sox have 4 titles while the Yanks are known as the team that can't get it done.
Best roster in the AL? Yankees have good pitching but outside of Judge and Stanton the lineup is absolutely putrid. Blue Jays lineup is way better.
Bingo.
I swear he used to be good when he first started doing color. I don't know what happened to him but he's almost unlistenable to me now.
Pretty much right. The only guys that should be locks for next year are Judge, Stanton, DJLM, Cole, Sevy, Chapman (ugh), Holmes, and Loaisaga. Every other position is up for grabs. We should bring back Rizzo but idk if we can afford him. Get rid of Gallo, Sanchez, Odor, Gardner, Voit, Andujar, Frazier. Not sure what you do with Gleyber and Gio. Maybe hope that a new hitting coach can fix them because Thames completely wrecked this team on offense
At the beginning of the year, they were favorites to win the AL and we’re considered to have the best lineup on paper (in the AL). Obviously, that was not the case as the season played out.
Scherzer will never come to NY. Only team he told the Nats he wouldn’t waive his no trade clause for this year. LA will probably open up their pocketbook to keep him as their payroll hits $300 million, meanwhile Cashman will probably trade Judge for some has been pitcher with 2 tommy John’s on his resume…
He's probably done with being a GM/President. Supposedly the only way he comes back is with a partial ownership stake
Thames ruined Gleyber the same way he broke Gary and everyone else on the team. We're lucky Judge and Stanton are probably smart enough to ignore everything Thames has ever tried to tell them
I'm pretty sure Theo thinks he is the Commissioner in Waiting. He is an MLB consultant currently. I think the Yanks job might be enough to lure him back. He's 47 plenty of time to win a few tiles with the Yanks and then become commish.
Scherzer is the best pitcher of his era and my favorite baseball player, don't see him coming to NY to finish out his career though.
That could just mean he doesn't want to work for a pampered crook.
That's what I expected to happen, but where are you seeing that report? I thought they hadn't even spoken yet.
