"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Are We There Yet, Are We There Yet?

Walking wounded or not, ill-equipped to make a deep run or not, here we are with just a couple of weeks left and the Yanks are playing for the best record in the league—and in the game. Not bad, fellas, not bad at all.

Still need a few guys to get healthy—and the way things are going you wonder who else will get hurt—but hell, could be worse, could be raining.

Never mind the anticipation—Let’s Go Yank-ees!

That sucks about Bettances. He might have only faced a dozen batters this postseason but now his year is over after 8 pitches.

Tough going into Free agency with a blown out achilles. Maybe the Nets will sign him?

2 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 18, 2019 3:02 pm

Was hoping that DB would be a major plus for the post season. Maybe Sevi steps into that role?

And Stanton might be the bat we need in lieu of lots of guys still hurt.

Still gotta hand it to Cashmoney. He's a shoe-in for GM of the year, and Boonie is not far from manager of the year either.

3 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 5:33 pm

How do you tear your Achilles on a little hop?

4 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2019 5:41 pm

Hell, could be a lot worse -- could be Red Sox fans.

5 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 5:52 pm

They've made it this far without Dellin. Or so I keep telling myself.

6 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2019 5:54 pm

CC’s last reg season start?? He’s been such a boss, and HOF worthy.
Delin B...awful awful news..and he’s a free agent

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:10 pm

Atta boy. Mike!

8 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:26 pm

Damn, safe.

9 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:36 pm

Love you, CC

10 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:38 pm

Clap clap clap

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:45 pm

All rise!

12 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:48 pm

No L for CC.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 18, 2019 6:53 pm

All rise for CC ... and then ALL RISE.

That might be the end for CC.

Not sure I want to see him with the ball in the playoffs ...

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:20 pm

[13] Come out of the pen in game 4 of a sweep of the Astros?

15 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:27 pm

One or two innings as an opener for CC.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:45 pm

Holy Fucking horseshit! Oi!

17 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:46 pm

That!s . . . not a good throw

18 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:50 pm

[14] Not unless we have a 10-run lead.

19 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:51 pm

Actually, Otavino didn't do a whole lot wrong that inning...until that throw. The defense looked drunk. I guess he wanted to get in on the party.

20 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2019 7:51 pm

Staff needs some PFP before the playoffs..

21 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:03 pm

Alex, thanks for starting a new thread. I know you are very busy with other projects and paying work(!), which makes having an active Banter even more special. You give so much to us. I think I can speak for everyone in saying we really, really, really appreciate it.

22 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:09 pm

[21] Seconded

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:45 pm

Let's go, O! Clinch it the right way!

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:46 pm

True that, Boat-z.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:51 pm

Eat shit, blue!

26 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2019 8:57 pm

Wasn't Robles on the Mets??
Cmon Gio, save us one more time

27 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2019 9:06 pm

A Ray’s Loss would br anti-climactic. On the other hand, how many get injured in a celebration?

28 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 18, 2019 9:11 pm

Well, the Yankees essentially clinched...it's just accounting at this point. Kay's keep "the champagne on ice" line is tiring. The things that would have to happen to force a one-game play-off are as unlikely as winning a state lottery jackpot.

29 Greg G   ~  Sep 18, 2019 9:49 pm

That was crap bunting on CC to start off the game. Glad to see Gardy dropping one down later.

I wish the Yanks could’ve pulled this one out.

As much as I love CC, not sure that he should be on the playoff roster. Maybe for the ALCS? The Yanks need some guys who can give multiple innings and in the playoffs, people may bunt on him. He is working on just 1 leg at this point. I love his guts.

Stanton looked pretty good for a guy playing in his 9th game.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 19, 2019 2:04 pm

Oh for fuck's sake ... Domingo German placed on administrative leave while MLB investigates domestic abuse allegations.

What the hell is next for this team, someone spontaneously combusting???

Someone needs to get a priest, a rabbi and a shaman into that locker room, stat.

31 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 2:21 pm

[30] Disappointed in German as a person, it's not about the postseason.

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 19, 2019 2:45 pm

Per tweet from Bob Klapisch: "I’m told the incident involving Domingo German and his girlfriend occurred late Monday night/Tuesday morning in a public setting - he allegedly slapped her during an argument. According to an MLB source, the incident was witnessed by an official from the Commissioner’s office."

33 Greg G   ~  Sep 19, 2019 4:10 pm

If they do win it all this year with this patchwork team and despite all the injuries and now a suspension likely to their most dependable starter then Boone should be sainted, not just manager of the year.

This is awful and German is a young guy, but that is just ugly. Get your shit together. He must have been spending too much time with Chapman. These guys don't have to be boy scouts but my God, great athletes beating up on their wives. Yeah, I'm not rooting for you.

Oy!

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 19, 2019 4:19 pm

Now there's this, so I'll just wait (after this posting) to see what eventually comes out as the story (as one should usually do):

Lindsey Adler @lindseyadler
MLB's investigation into Domingo Germán centers on an incident that sources told The Athletic took place at his residence late Monday/early Tuesday. This incident was not witnessed by an official of Major League Baseball, the sources said.

35 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 5:42 pm

Any suspension German gets will necessarily carry over into next year. Which means he’d be ineligible for next year’s post season too, if I understand the rules.

36 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 6:14 pm

Le Machine!

37 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 6:35 pm

#obligatoryhomer.

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 19, 2019 6:40 pm

Fucked up news about German. Oi is right.

39 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 6:44 pm

Gotten back by Gritner

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:21 pm

Dag, Brett!

41 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:22 pm

Magical year for Brett.

42 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:24 pm

What a year for BG!!

43 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:24 pm

[41] Jinx!
So they clinch tonight, but the real race is for home field throughout the playoffs..

44 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:31 pm

[43] And not lose another player for any reason.

45 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:37 pm

Thought I'd get on WFAN to hear the end of the game and the celebration. I really respect Suzyn Waldman for her career but, and this is just a personal impression, I find her voice/speaking manner to be really unpleasant...and Sterling, while a lovely voice, really shouldn't be doing play-by-play at this point.

46 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 7:58 pm

Maybin joins the party.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:02 pm

Atta boy, Clint! And you too, Cameron. Kaboooom!

48 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:03 pm

As does Clint! Out goes Frazier, out goes Frazier.

49 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:10 pm

Never will understand why they jerked around Frazier so much, guy can swing it.

What a great season, 100 wins!

50 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:11 pm

One gone.

51 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:12 pm

Two gone.

52 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:13 pm

One more strike

53 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:13 pm

Of course.

54 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:18 pm

Division champs!

Now don’t get hurt celebrating.

55 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:18 pm

7 years. Holy shit. Cheers, gang.

56 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:19 pm

100 wins, one of the best reg season teams this year! Awesome, and could they still go for 105?

57 rbj   ~  Sep 19, 2019 8:29 pm

Nice to see no dogpile, not getting hurt and not satisfied with the division.

58 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 6:11 pm

Oh crap, Joe West is the home plate ump.

59 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:06 pm

Ok, not serious if Gleyber is staying in. At least I hope.

60 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:10 pm

For the love of Mo! I bet they take replace Gleyber. Fucking Bollocks!

61 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:15 pm

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:15 pm

Hot damn. This season has been one long pinball machine game.

63 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:27 pm

And there’s the #obligatoryhomer

64 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:42 pm

And Tyler does them one better.

65 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 7:48 pm

300 homeruns, here we come.

66 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:17 pm

Yeesh. Don't throw that again.

67 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:20 pm

And probably giving up 300 too. Sigh.

68 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:42 pm

What happened with Gleyber?

HBP?

69 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:43 pm

3 pitchers to get 3 outs.

Yay, how fun.

I can't wait for next season's rule change.

This crap blows.

70 rbj   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:47 pm

[68] Rolled his ankle. On a diving play. Why he stayed in, I don’t know.

71 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:48 pm

[70] Sigh. Seriously, WTF is up with all these late season injuries?

72 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 20, 2019 8:51 pm

Yay, I just love plays!

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 20, 2019 9:18 pm

Joe West needs to be forced to retire.

Immediately.

That strike 2 call against Gardner was perhaps the worst strike call I've seen this season.

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 20, 2019 9:33 pm

FJW.

75 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 21, 2019 12:05 pm

MRI on Gleyber's hammy came back ok.

EE on track to return for final series, if not for TB

Kraken on track for playoffs.

76 rbj   ~  Sep 21, 2019 12:22 pm

[75] Thanks

77 rbj   ~  Sep 21, 2019 12:27 pm

How is Joe West still employed as a MLB umpire.

78 rbj   ~  Sep 21, 2019 1:14 pm

Nice hit, Stanton.

79 rbj   ~  Sep 21, 2019 2:00 pm

Even better

80 rbj   ~  Sep 21, 2019 2:13 pm

Tack on runs are always acceptable.

Good outing for Paxton.

Gritner!

83 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 22, 2019 1:44 pm

Sevi looking quite good.

84 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 22, 2019 1:49 pm

a little late to the game. looks like CC had a great send off, and is getting ready for the BP. and the HRs keep on coming: DJ, Gritner, and the Judge.

85 rbj   ~  Sep 22, 2019 1:54 pm

So the team is up to 298 HR, if I have it right

86 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Sep 22, 2019 2:33 pm

so the game callers are naming yankee bests. Comebacks of the year must be Sanchez. MVP in my book is DJ.

87 rbj   ~  Sep 22, 2019 3:26 pm

Ballgame. And Sevy looked good.

88 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 24, 2019 5:41 pm

Battle of the bullpens seems on tap for tonight.

89 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 6:40 pm

Well, the Rays need these games more than the Yankees, but that "home field" seems to be the only chance we have against Houston.

90 rbj   ~  Sep 24, 2019 6:52 pm

Damn, missed that homer.

91 rbj   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:03 pm

Thanks for that out, Tampa.

92 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:04 pm

[90] Me too. If I avert my eyes for a second, to my newspaper or my muesli, there will be a Yankee HR, guaranteed.

93 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:05 pm

Hmmmm ... CC warming for a stint in relief ... we'll see how this goes.

94 rbj   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:19 pm

CC on in relief.

95 rbj   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:23 pm

Good outing for him.

96 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:39 pm

These bullpen games are hard to watch, though I irrationally want then to get to 105 wins so..whatever works..

97 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:49 pm

Why pitch Tarpley? There's now way he's making the post-season roster.

98 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:50 pm

Nice pick, Tarp.

99 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 7:56 pm

Good to see Stanton laying off those low and away pitches.

[101] What happened?

103 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:11 pm

HBP on his left hand.

104 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:13 pm

Grrr. It's like a nightmare. It never ends.

105 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:17 pm

[103] Oh man, that could knock him out the postseason

106 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:24 pm

[105] The funny thing is, I wouldn't see that as hurting the line up very much. LeMachine moves to 3rd, more time for Voit (or Ford?) at first.

107 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:26 pm

Exhale.

108 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 24, 2019 8:41 pm

[106] Can't look at Ford without thinking of the electric goods shop owner down the street from my house. Same fire hydrant body and wears a 'uniform' in the shop that looks like the Yanks road greys.

127 yankintexas   ~  Sep 24, 2019 10:32 pm

Future generations will have a laugh at the ridiculous use of bullpens in 2019...

Why did the Yankees, trying to catch Houston for home field, use 11 fricking pitchers, half of which had insanely high ERAs? Perhaps, its just my fuzzy memory but I can't recall ever seeing three pitchers with ERAs around 7 or more pitch in the same game after April.

128 rob_smith_51   ~  Sep 24, 2019 11:19 pm

It was an uphill battle to catch Houston. I thought the Yanks had to win out since Houston owns the tie breaker. May as well rest their arms for the post-season. Maybe Houston gets knocked out early.

129 BobbyB   ~  Sep 25, 2019 5:14 pm

MLB and MLBPA announce German administrative leave extended through the conclusion of the 2019 World Series.

130 rbj   ~  Sep 25, 2019 6:13 pm

[129] which means any suspension would be served in 2020, making him ineligible for next year’s postseason too. I’m fine with that.

131 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 25, 2019 6:28 pm

Johnny Lasagna is getting baked.

Ok, keep lasagna off the postseason menu.

133 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 25, 2019 6:34 pm

[130] So any suspension due to DV results in post-season ineligibility for the season in which it is served?

134 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 25, 2019 7:22 pm

Hey, Morton's pitching a no-hitter. [the jinx is on]

135 BobbyB   ~  Sep 25, 2019 7:28 pm

[133] I’m not sure. Feels like they just kicked the can down the road. Just don’t replace him with Cessa (shivers).

136 rbj   ~  Sep 25, 2019 7:38 pm

[133] that’s my understanding. Given his age and how few innings he’s pitched in the past, a suspension might not be too terrible. Not that it excuses DV.

137 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 25, 2019 7:44 pm

Ken Singleton will be back announcing next year, just saw on Twitter. Hooray!

157 yankintexas   ~  Sep 25, 2019 8:40 pm

[154] Hard to take this team seriously right now with how this rotation/bullpen is being handled. It's like spring training part deux. The Red Sox using 50 relievers make sense since they were eliminated. The Yankees doing it, not so much.

[130] This article over at fangraphs would suggest (if I'm reading it correctly) that German will not be ineligible for the 2020 season's playoffs if he serves his suspension during the 2020 season:

FTA:

And as we’ve already seen, teams are ready and willing to exploit the fact that DV-suspended players may be acquired at discounts. Changing the rule so that suspended players are also banned from that year’s postseason would increase the impact of such suspensions, and greatly reduce teams’ incentives to acquire such players.

Rats, Twinkies first to 300. The Bombers can’t let Minnesota have the record.

Thanks for the info, cult.

162 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 7:17 pm

Stanton for 300!

163 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 7:30 pm

Sigh, #obligatoryhomer.

164 RIYank   ~  Sep 27, 2019 7:46 pm

And tied with the Twins.

165 yankintexas   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:13 pm

Wouldn't it be ironic if each game against the Twins in the ALDS are pitchers duals?

166 yankintexas   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:14 pm

Err, duels..

167 rob_smith_51   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:14 pm

Why did Paxton only pitch one inning?

168 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:25 pm

Showalter has always bugged me. Bad. I was actually enjoying listening to him tonight. Maybe because I can't see him. But after saying Joe West can be a good umpire when he's locked and loaded? Wtf! Dead to me!

169 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:28 pm

Shit, Paxton with an injury. Fuck, fuck, fuckitty fuck fuck.

170 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:32 pm

Ayuh.

171 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 8:48 pm

Oopsie

172 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:05 pm

Did they do a report on Paxton yet?

That's got to be the last straw for this team.

173 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:12 pm

Ford Powered!

174 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:22 pm

Out walking the dog, missed those three runs. Gluten tightness for Big Maple.

No idea

175 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:28 pm

If I have it right, we’re now up to 304 vs. Twinkies at 303. Rain delay for them.

176 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:43 pm

Double digits! Don’t mind Le Machine going for three.

177 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:47 pm

King has to nervous as all hell

178 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:48 pm

An out. He has an ERA.

179 rbj   ~  Sep 27, 2019 9:52 pm

Good inning for the kid

180 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 27, 2019 10:05 pm

Luke does not have the force right now.
He has 2 more games to get it back. [sigh]

181 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 27, 2019 10:18 pm

I think the baseball is juiced but Romine crushed a meatball.

182 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 27, 2019 10:21 pm

Buck Showalter, expounding on things he looks for in a pitcher ... "broad shoulders", "a supple wrist", "a high butt".

183 rbj   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:13 pm

Judge just missed, oh well a triple isn’t bad.

184 rbj   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:29 pm

That’s not good

185 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:30 pm

Oh, goodie. A shitty 1st inning for Luis. Though the blind guy missing a fastball right down the pipe did him no favors.

186 rbj   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:32 pm

Aw damn Alonso hit homer #53. New rookie record.

187 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:33 pm

JFC!!!!

188 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:33 pm

Oh, joy ... bad Sevy.

189 cult of basebaal   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:53 pm

Oh joy, good Sevy!

190 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:53 pm

Man, Showalter talks way, way, way too much. Sucking all the life out of a game that is meaningless to begin with.

191 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 28, 2019 7:56 pm

And Kay is acting like a adolescent at ComiCon interviewing Stan Lee.

192 rbj   ~  Sep 28, 2019 8:06 pm

Sevy is getting his badouting out of the way in a meaningless game. Yeah, that’s it.

193 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 28, 2019 8:14 pm

[192] He's not getting any help from the ump.

194 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 28, 2019 8:50 pm

Didi and Luke are automatic outs right now. Wouldn't the line-up better without them?

And why is Romine getting so many ABs with Gary back. Gary needs reps.

195 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 28, 2019 10:17 pm

This game was a big bag of Fucking suck.

196 yankintexas   ~  Sep 29, 2019 12:49 am

[194]If Gary wasn't so fragile I would agree. Then again, I don't see this team going very far in the playoffs so maybe he should get in some ABs for next year's prep?

197 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 29, 2019 7:10 am

[196] I agree on the playoffs. I don't see them getting by Minnysoda right now. They certainly aren't going to out slug anyone. I think it's fair to say they haven't got much of a chance against anyone else.

Houston? Fahgettaboutit.
