2024 Yankees Season Thread

More drivel from FsB. Yanks ranked in the top 10 in farm systems, sox in the back 10. Yanks entire pitching staff went into a slump at the same time prompting the shitty performance of late. It’ll correct eventually. This team is good. They found at least a short term answer at 1b in Rice. Kid looks like a good ball player. Torres is starting to swing it. With Stanton on the shelf, we’ve got Grisham in there every day and he isn’t an everyday player. DJ is done, his bat speed is gone and he’s got no more leg drive. He centered a ball last night in the 8th and flew out to the warning track. Yanks need a lefty reliever who doesn’t suck, another high leverage reliever to pair with Holmes if the lefty is more specialist and a 3b who can rake.

Who has ranked the Sox in the back 10?

They need to get Volope out of the leadoff spot, he is hurting them with his 96 OPS+.

Verdugo: 93 OPS+. Catcher is a black hole in the lineup. I guess they will make the playoffs, but this is not a championship team and the Yankees don't have the depth in the farm system to add a difference maker at the deadline.

Soto and Judge are obviously great. Speaking of Soto, I keep hearing that the Mets are going to pass on Alonso and make Soto a massive offer. When the Yankees lose Soto to the Mets, their offense will take a major hit next year but I guess that is a conversation for the off-season. Also, Judge will be 33 next year, the window is closing on the Yankees especially since the Orioles and Red Sox are loaded with young talent and will only get better over the next few seasons.

Rice is a big kid. Yankees may have made a nice under the radar score with him.

They seem to find more pitchers that way, too…

Yankees are the greatest team in the history of two months ago. Every May, they're going to the World Series.

In their last three Mays, the Yanks won over two-thirds of their games, with a record of 59 and 26.

In their last three Julys, New York is 24-33... so far.

Let's remember this next year too so we can make money betting against them

Betting against both teams to not with the WS in each year is the way to go, honestly.

I don't think you get very good odds betting against a team winning the WS

I'll take whatever I can get. The rest of my family plays crane machines like their lives depend on it.

Crane machines LOL...those things are low-tech one-armed bandits.

Hopefully they're good at it. One of my friends has like a 50% win rate which I don't even know how that's possible. I don't think I've ever won once.

The Yankees need to make some changes. They need to bring in a new starting SS and I got the perfect guy: Jeter Downs from Scranton! Volope is sent to AAA to work on his hitting and baserunning. He needs to improve on the fundamentals so that he scores from third base when there isn't a force play. Volope doesn't seem that smart to me. In Scranton, I would also make him enroll in a community college literature class, try to improve his overall IQ. in the meantime, how can the Yankees go wrong with a starting SS with the name of Jeter? This is a great plan.
