"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Won’t Somebody Please Think Of The Children???

Ugh.  I’ve purposely avoided Yankee ball (or at least bantering about it) for the last couple of months as I’ve found myself doing a lot more griping and complaining than enjoying, and I can’t imagine anyone around here would care to read what they’ve already written in comments during that same time period, so I will not add more dung to the pile…

Oh, whom am I kidding? Regardless of how the Yanks do the rest of the way, changes are needed and likely imminent.  The starting rotation needs an overhaul, the infield needs mending and reconfiguring and the outfield needs to be refurbished.  Cashman gambled away his outfield depth and the remains of the day immediately went kablooey, so now he has to figure out what to do with whom not only in the post-season, but beyond. Here are a list of possible bullet-points for him to hash out…

  • Does Gardner stay a little longer than expected? (like to 2050 perhaps?)
  • Will Clint Frazier ever get a full season to show his worth without having to deal with his bully, the outfield wall?
  • Is Aaron Judge rushing back to save the lineup really a good thing?
  • Is Stanton really a backup outfielder forced to play everyday at this point?
  • Does McCutchen actually exist? Or is he just a story made up to scare impending free agents?
  • Is it a sin to not hit a homer in every at-bat? Do you get sent to baseball purgatory for bunting against the shift or hitting for the cycle?
  • Would it help if we put an extra row of seats between shortstop and third base?
  • Would Ritalin improve the infield defense?
  • Is Gary Sanchez really just Jesus Montero trying to sneak back into major league baseball?
  • Do you think CC would look good as a pitching coach next season? Yeah? Huh?
  • Would it have helped some if Tanaka had gotten that surgery he’s needed for the last two or three seasons right after the slight tear in his UCL was first noticed?
  • Does saying “We don’t necessarily need Chapman” three times automatically wipe away his 5 yr/$86 mil (17+Mil per) salary?
  • Did Pedro really cover all bases while he was mentoring Severino over the winter, or was that a sample since he wasn’t paid (as far as we all know)?
  • Do you think Lance Lynn would do well to appear for a couple of seasons on Westworld rather than on the mound?
  • Could he take Sonny Gray with him?
  • What’s the over/under for J. Happ bolting the Yanks within minutes of the end of the Whirled Serious? And will that be him saying he “can’t get with Da Bronx” or Cashman and Co. low-balling him?
  • What is the purpose of the Yankee coaches, really?
  • Is Aaron Boone @#$%ing crazy? Or is he just @#$%ing right for this job?

I know, a lot to take in. You don’t have to think about it now, just enjoy the game(ssssss…).  These things always have a way of working themselves out. If I’m lucky, I’ll come back with more by the end of the, er… month.  >;)

Clever as usual, Will.

Don't forget this battered and failing team will Win close to 100 games. Our amazing play earlier in the season got our expectations too high.

Brett will cost us a net $10m. He has been a 3+ War player the last 8 years. He is still an above average Fielder and Runner. Can we afford to keep him as a 4th/5th OFer?

Can Andujar stick at 3B? His fielding is terrible.

They won't rush Judge back... nor should they.

Happ will have trouble finding a team better that the 2019 Yankees. Remember, they have $80m they can spend this next offseason.

And yes... we have few players who take a '3rd Strike approach'.

2 rbj   ~  Sep 7, 2018 7:21 pm

Yay, Didi is back.

I like Miggy Jr.’s bat. Move him to first, get rid of Bird (I’d hate to do that, but baseball is a business) and open the vault for Machado?

And neither Mario nor Rod is returning to the Tigers booth this year. Rod did attack, but Mario must have said something real bad.

3 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:18 pm

I think he moved his chair ...

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:18 pm

Also ... Machado doesn't seem to want to play 3rd, which is a problem.

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:19 pm

Thanks for the write up, Chyll. Good stuff. Upsetting Boston in the playoffs would be a pleasant October surprise. Along with winning th WC game. Gulp.

6 OldYankeesFan   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:19 pm

Greetings folks. This the game thread?

7 OldYankeesFan   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:20 pm

@4 - He will play 3rd for a Winning team....

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:21 pm

He should, given his defensive stats this year, but will he?

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:31 pm

Gleyber day!

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:32 pm

EVERYBODY GLEYBER NOW!

11 seamus   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:42 pm

Oi. Nice homer for Gleyber. Good one Gardy

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:44 pm

BOOM BANG FOR CUTCHY!

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:45 pm

There it is! Cutch!

14 OldYankeesFan   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:46 pm

I'm hoping Cutch is more than just a name...

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:51 pm

Gary's 2 ks are as bad as his catching.

16 seamus   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:52 pm

Hopefully that homer gets Cutch going.

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:52 pm

[15] What an awful year ...

18 seamus   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:53 pm

[15] I’m baffled by why he chases everything. And why he is hitting fourth.

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:56 pm

Boone-y's an idiot?

20 seamus   ~  Sep 7, 2018 9:59 pm

Tanaka dealing so far

21 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 10:40 pm

Didi is BACK

22 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 10:41 pm

Well even Hechi can't stop that one. One point off losing a better bat for the rest of the game.

23 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 10:46 pm

Kenny with the Barry White reference.

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 10:49 pm

Didi is slick. Man! No Did Cano homér.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:06 pm

Tanaka!

26 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:08 pm

[24] He may be on an Odyssey, but Cano is no Homer. ;>)

27 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:09 pm

Anyone hear the Sterling call for Cutch? "Cutch is Clutch" sounds too easy.

28 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:17 pm

This is the Tanaka we all know and love.

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:18 pm

The Mariners look like the Yankees of late. Good on Tanaka in any event.

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:43 pm

Nice win. Cheers, y’all.

31 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 7, 2018 11:46 pm

Good one. It's all about the pitching. Usually.

Gotta get up at 5 AM tomorrow (with the rest of Japan) to catch Naomi vs. Serena.

'Night all.

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:23 pm

[31] That final was NUTS.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:26 pm

Meanwhile, everyone with MLB.tv should tune in to the last inning of the Royals and the Twins game ...

34 rbj   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:38 pm
35 rbj   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:38 pm

Er, thanks

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:40 pm

[35] Here we go ... his 11th MLB start, supposedly.

37 rbj   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:42 pm

Damn, a walk. Expand the zone, blue

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:43 pm

Damn, but still got something to go for.

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:44 pm

And now there isn't.

Blargh.

40 rbj   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:46 pm

Oh well. Been packing and cleaning all day. Night

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 8:49 pm

G'nite!

42 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:13 pm

[32] Yeah. Glad Naomi won. Coulda done without all the peripheral drama.

43 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:14 pm

I'd like to order a large "runs" with everything on it. Please.

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:14 pm

[42] You, me and everybody, I think. What's the reaction over there?

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:17 pm

Father Time is undefeated, but it's still weird to look up and see King Felix with a 5+ ERA ...

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:21 pm

And now he's coming out with an apparent injury ...

47 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:28 pm

[44] Well, I only got my wife and daughter to go on. For some reason the match was not televised on any channel, including cable. And the news was slow in developing. Lots of static on Twitter, but most of the griping seems to be coming from gaijin.

48 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:31 pm

The Bronx Sac Flies!

49 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:32 pm

My wife said, no one expected Osaka to get to the final much less win. That kind of surprised me.

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:42 pm

Interesting, as she did beat Serena recently.

Nice of Lance to give the lead back ...

51 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:47 pm

[50] Lance Boiled Over.

The media was all in on Nishikori, who IMHO, is was a much bigger long shot. Not allowed to get in to politics, but there it is.

52 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 9:57 pm

[51] Oh, I think I can guess, which was mostly my point in asking.

Do you think that winning the Open buys her any more love?

53 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:00 pm

Now, let's get Lance out of there.

54 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:06 pm

[52] Yes, everybody loves a winner, of course. But there will always be that asterisk thinking. Saduharu Oh has always been widely loved and cherished.

I imagine she'll get more sponsors, from forward thinking companies, such as, perhaps, Softbank..

55 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:08 pm

Jeeze, I was just about to dis Romine.

56 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:11 pm

Hope so, she seems like a real talent. She whupped Serena around the court in the 1st Set.

57 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:12 pm

[55] Lettuce not do that ...

;)

58 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:17 pm

[57] Ouch.

59 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:23 pm

60 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 8, 2018 10:30 pm

70 thelarmis   ~  Sep 8, 2018 11:08 pm

What happened to my boy, Miggy Mantle? Hand, head, he ok???

71 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 8, 2018 11:10 pm

[70] Elbow or forearm.

72 thelarmis   ~  Sep 8, 2018 11:20 pm

Thanks, Boat. Hoping it’s forearm, of the two...

73 thelarmis   ~  Sep 8, 2018 11:22 pm

Mike Axisa at RAB just said it was forearm and he’s fine. Whew. Exhale...

74 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 9, 2018 3:17 pm

And he's in the lineup today, so he must be fine.

75 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 9, 2018 3:20 pm

Yup, seems fine

76 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 9, 2018 3:36 pm

Surprised Dellin was in today. Thought it’d be Britton...

90 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 9, 2018 6:32 pm

Eh, that one was on the bats.

Just unreal how shiite we've been in the 2nd half with the bases loaded.

164 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 11, 2018 9:09 pm

This blows.

165 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2018 7:13 pm

Can we have good Sevy tonight?

166 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 12, 2018 7:32 pm

And some runs?

167 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 12, 2018 7:47 pm

Better Sevy, at least so far.

168 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2018 8:15 pm

Looks like good Sevy tonight

169 rbj   ~  Sep 12, 2018 8:26 pm

More #rispfail.

170 BobbyB   ~  Sep 12, 2018 8:48 pm

Where the heck is the offense? Cannot waste such a good performance by Severino.

171 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 12, 2018 8:57 pm

Well, that changed quickly.

C'mon Hammer!

172 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 12, 2018 9:15 pm

FFS

173 BobbyB   ~  Sep 12, 2018 9:21 pm

Hitless? WTF Has happened to this team?

174 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 12, 2018 9:51 pm

Saving their strength for a do or die game in Oakland.

175 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 12, 2018 10:14 pm

So D-Rob gets the goat horns tonight? Grrrrrr.

176 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 12, 2018 10:15 pm

There's something wrong with this team, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe they just can not win consistently without Judge.

177 BobbyB   ~  Sep 13, 2018 4:02 pm

Maybe a dose of the BlueJays can shake them out of this.

178 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 6:24 pm

Uh oh, risp. How will the Yankees fail to score here

179 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 6:25 pm

#rispsuccess!

180 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 6:30 pm

And more

181 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 6:35 pm

I approve

182 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2018 6:39 pm

Where the hell have these guys been?

183 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:07 pm

MOAR PLZ!

184 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:10 pm

Can we have double digits, please?

185 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:14 pm

It smells like a Friday night!

186 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:38 pm

Come on Brett, make it an even dozen.

Heck I’d even put Judge back in for an AB or two, with orders not to swing, just to see live pitching

187 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:54 pm

I WANT THE SCORE TRUCK!

188 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:58 pm

9-0!

189 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 14, 2018 7:58 pm

Cutch!

190 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 8:14 pm

With a gazillion arms in the pen, pull Tanaka and save those bullets for October?

191 rbj   ~  Sep 14, 2018 8:24 pm

Thank you Boone

192 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 14, 2018 8:58 pm

194 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 14, 2018 9:09 pm

DOH!

195 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:12 pm

Very nice start for CC.

196 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:30 pm

This is not good

197 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:31 pm

Yeah, this could get ugly.

198 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:39 pm

Well, now we need the bats to the rescue

199 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:45 pm

John Gibbons, working blue ...

200 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 3:48 pm

Phew. If they got the force at 2nd, I would have been PISSED.

Add another horrible ...

207 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 4:02 pm

And another.

JFC, get the big man out of there.

208 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 4:07 pm

Sigh.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

211 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 15, 2018 4:28 pm

JAY-sus. What a mess. Although, it still feels like they will get back into this one.

However, why the hell is Neil Walker in this game? Nothing against Walker, but that puts our best goddamn hitter on the bench.

212 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 4:50 pm

I've NEVER seen a hit like that!

BASEBALL!

213 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:05 pm

This game suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

214 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:07 pm

Sir Didi!!!!!!!!!!

215 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:07 pm

Nice catch, Didi.

216 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:16 pm

Shut out gone. Though it should have come in the first or second.

217 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:18 pm

Yeeowch

218 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:19 pm

Was that a nard shot?

219 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:21 pm

[218] Pretty much.

220 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:34 pm

Dang. They've left a family reunion on base.

221 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:54 pm

Dammit, almost got out of that mess.

222 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:54 pm

Unfortunately, the Jays haven't ...

223 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 5:57 pm

What a shitshow.

224 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 6:09 pm

DIDI DIDI!!!

225 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 6:09 pm

Yay, another solo home run.

226 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 6:10 pm

Would have been nice if Blue didn't screw us out of a baserunner before.

227 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 6:13 pm

I heart Gleyber!

228 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 6:17 pm

Time for a Voit Volt!

232 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 7:04 pm

I am so sick and tired of watching Sanchez at the plate this year.

233 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 15, 2018 7:06 pm

What an annoying game.

234 rbj   ~  Sep 15, 2018 7:34 pm

2 for 10 in risp, 10 LOB. That can’t cut it.

235 rbj   ~  Sep 16, 2018 12:09 pm

How about some early runs today?

236 rbj   ~  Sep 16, 2018 12:18 pm

Thank you Cutch

237 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 16, 2018 1:35 pm

Lynn seemed pissed for some reason

238 rbj   ~  Sep 16, 2018 2:10 pm

I'd really like some insurance runs.

239 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 16, 2018 2:11 pm

Good thing the Yankees got 2 in the 1st, they've been getting URP'd ever since ... Who the hell is Thomas Panini?

240 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 16, 2018 2:22 pm

At least he's likely out after that inning ...

241 rbj   ~  Sep 16, 2018 2:24 pm

Not good.

Not a good at bat Gleyber
