2022 Yankees Regular Season Thread

[Bellhorn04]

Biased post!!

 

You intentionally omitted Harrison Bader’s numbers with the Yankees!!

 

Wily old Cash, jettisoning a solid starting pitcher for a guy who will shore up the outfield defense once he can walk again!

 

St. Louis has surely learned a lesson about trying to outsmart a genius.

If the Yanks flame out, lose the division and then the wild card I can see Cashman getting canned.

If this is true, I hope they win the division and then lose round one.

[redsoxrules]

Another loss. Lead down to 4. 3 in the L column. This would be the biggest collapse in MLB history if they blow this division lead.

And I don’t see how they can pull out of it. They can’t hit.

When is Stanton coming back? Yes I know he’s been playing.

[moonslav59]

This just goes to show you how a team's fate can turn on a dime, and for no apparent reason, at times.

 

The Yanks looked like the 2018 Sox for a half season, and now this...

[jacksonianmarch]

Yanks got old quickly. Lemahieu, Stanton, Hicks and Donaldson are automatic outs. Rizzo’s back is ailing. Beni is hurt. Torres’ wrist is ailing. IKF and Trevino were playing over their heads in the first half. It’s Judge and only Judge right now. The kids are being asked to be the spark plug which isn’t fair to them. The pitching has held up, but the O has fallen off and I don’t see it improving.

[moonslav59]

Montas just might redeem himself, after all.

 

Judge got half the Yankees 6 hits and hit his 53rd! Geesh!

 

Man, the Yankee O sucks.

[jacksonianmarch]

And Beni is out for the year. We had a healthy and functioning first 3 months and were world beaters. We now are carrying too many injured players. FYI, Lemahieu looks like he needs to be IL'd. His foot issue clearly isnt better and he is collapsing when he swings. Guy probably needs surgery

The only thing I disagree with is IKF playing over his head.

 

He’s a very good player…

Face the Sox bullpen?

 

Matt Barnes has never seen the slump he couldn’t end…

[a700hitter]

Playing the Twins is the perfect matchup for the Yankees to end their slump. They have owned the Twins since I had a full head of brown hair.

Yeah, if they don't bludgeon the Twins, we'll know they're really in trouble.

5 runs with HRs from Marwin and IKF. Twins coming in always know how to hit the Yankees bats

[jacksonianmarch]

Boone shows once again why he deserves to be fired. How do you let Guzman hit there? Just abysmal

I have to assume Stanton and DJL are unavailable today if they weren't in there to hit. I guess they could've went to Donaldson, but my bigger question is why the hell this guy who just got called up is batting 4th? I'd at least put Andujar (who also sucks but not as much) and IKF ahead of him. Also this is probably the worst Yankees lineup I've seen since the 2013 team.

Donaldson went on the paternity list. The kids showed fight. Absolutely no clue why we have Guzman out there. At this point, I'd rather we just add Wells to the 40 man and promote him. Guzman is not a major league caliber player

[jacksonianmarch]

Also, why is Volpe not up here with everybody hurt? Kid got to AAA on Sept 2 and is raking (9 for 20, 2 doubles, 2 steals, 3 walks). He cannot be worse than this Guzman stiff.

[jacksonianmarch]

With game 1 win, the yanks clinched a winning record for the 30th year in a row!

[Bellhorn04]

The Yankees domination of the Twins over the last 20 years or so is one of the most remarkable statistical phenomena in sports during that period. Game 1 yesterday being a prime example of how the Twins will find a way to lose to the Yanks.

Everything tends to regress to the mean (as evidenced by the Yankees 2nd half collapse) so I wonder if some day the Twins will be owning the Yanks? Hard to imagine.

If the Twins play .450 v the Yanks going forward, that is regressing to the mean.

Ump seemed strongly opposed to the Yanks winning last night. That replay at 1b was a joke. Also, Torres up with the bases full in the 9th and Fullmer threw 4 consecutive pitches out of the zone and two were called strikes. Terrible umpiring by the crew

[Bellhorn04]

And another "interesting" decision by Booney, bringing in Weissert to face Correa with the game on the line. Weissert has an 8.22 ERA after the game.

His whole bullpen management yesterday was suspect. Schmidt is stretched out so it didn't make sense to only let him throw 45 pitches, especially if he knew he couldn't go to any of his best arms in the pen. That was his first mistake, pulling him too early. Then after that he pulled Peralta after 3 batters even though he looked great (2 Ks and someone reaching on a blown call at first) and was only at 13 pitches. Did he bring Weissert in for the righty on righty matchup? Well Peralta has a great changeup that neutralizes righties (RHB hitting .234/.304/.290 against him this season) so that wouldn't make sense. Weissert has had some good moments but is still an unreliable rookie, and there's not really any excuse for bringing him in to face the Twins' best hitter.

 

In general I feel like most wins/losses are the result of players and not coaches, but yesterday's loss was definitely on Boone.

[jacksonianmarch]

Lemahieu's toe injury may require surgery and knock him out for the POs. I do not, for the life of me, understand why the Yanks didnt add Volpe to the 40 man as an option for the infield. It is f***ing flabbergasting. They knew Lemahieu had this issue. They knew it could flare and keep him out. Why not add your best minor league player to the roster just in case. Now, Volpe can come up for the last few weeks but is ineligible for the POs

I haven't heard anywhere that surgery was on the table. Even in the offseason it sounds like the plan would just be for it to heal by not placing stress on it. And even though I would've liked the Yankees to call up Volpe just to see what he can do, it doesn't mean he would be having the same success in the MLB that he's having right now in AAA (ex: Estevan Florial, Miguel Andujar).

Andujar is a shell of himself since his shoulder exploded. Volpe is world's better than Florial. The shine was coming off Florial by the time he debuted in the bigs a few years ago

Yes but my point is that at one point in time both Andujar and Florial were our top prospects. Florial was also untouchable in trades back in the day. I think Volpe profiles better than both to have big league success, but I don't think we could've realistically expected him to come up and produce right away, especially while skipping AAA. Sure he could have, or he could've came up and hit .150 and then had his confidence shattered.
