“ Jordan Montgomery of the Rangers makes his acquisition by Texas pay off with seven shutout innings against the Rays.”

Via David Pinto.

If only the Yankees could develop good young pitching like that.

Responding not to the conversation here but to a lot of talk I’ve seen elsewhere: I hear a lot of shouting about “Put Jeter in charge!” or “Coney!” or “Posada!” or “Paulie!” or or or ….

Most of those specific ideas have more shine than substance, and I discount them without feeling too critical. It’s loyalty + spleen venting and perfectly natural.

But take a step back from naming actual names and I do think one thing is true: The Yankees need a daily presence in the clubhouse and in the dugout who has walked the walk of winning at a high level. Partly as a totem, but mostly as a source of attitude.

All props to Boone’s one trip around the bases 20 years ago, but that’s not the “walk” I’m talking about.

I’ve been absent but the end of the season seems a good time to check in. The headline article above is spot on. I do love Torres so hope he has a great 2024 and the Yanks have reason to keep him around behind that.

Cashman is so done it’s not even funny and my take is that if you dump him you should also give Boone his walking papers. I’m not smart enough to recommend replacement GM’s but it’s time to correct prior errors and give Bam Bam a shit in the bench.

And that was the end of MY Yankees 2023 … I’m sure I’ll stop by from time to time as (and if) the Hot Stove demands, but everyone stay safe, healthy and happy until next time!

Well, that’s likely the last time this season I’ll get to say:

Wells is finishing strong.

Very promising for 2024.

Well, have a good off season and hopefully see you in 2024!
I might not be long for this game, either.

M. King against Z. Greinke 1-15(W/L), 5.18(ERA)
Yikes… I didn’t know Greinke had shit the bed.
