    He did such a great job in his other managing gigs. He is the most over-rated manager of all time. He always had the luxury of managing a push button team with a formula for the bullpen that was second to none. As easy as that team was to manage, he still needed the gerbil Zimmer next to him to explain the game to him. Once Zimmer left, Torre got real stupid again.

    Luckily, the league anti doping PED program was not in effect in the Yankee heyday of the last century. That clubhouse must have been like a drug den with players shooting each other up. In 2000, they brought in Canseco as a PED consultant, because Clemens needed to take it to the next level. They had needles hanging from their haunches as they walked around that clubhouse.

    It has never been done before by any other team. It must have been excruciating. BTW, Clueless Joe should have bunted on Schilling in game 6. That must have infuriated you.

    The biggest Choke in baseball post season history -- going all the was back to the first Worl Series in 1903. And I remember that Choke very very vividly. I have every single minute of it on DVD.

    You have to expect one or two of their big 4 hitters will take him deep. He will have to pitch off his fastball even if he can effectively mix in the off speed stuff. The key will keeping runners off the bases in front of the bombs.

    No but our 3 World Championships this century are still vivid memories. I have lots of nice photos that I took at game 6 in 2013. Were you at any of those last millenial championship clinching games and if so, were your photos in B&W?

    He needs t be on the corners and low in the zone. If he can do that, they might get him for a bomb or 2, but that is okay when you face Toronto. If he pitches up in the zone, the lesser hitters will be getting on in front of those big bombs.
  8. a700hitter
    I agree.

    Everything else was in a prior millenium, but then again, Yankee fans have to live in the past, because the heyday of their dominance is a distant memory.

    We know that Boggs is an extreme OCD case. He probably never takes off the ring, and it is also a safe bet that he ate chicken yesterday.

    That is also true, but they need to put something in the graphics, and some people who don't watch and follow the games do need the information.

    So he can hit the ball pretty hard if he gets the barrel on a good fastball. That is his ceiling. We know that he doesn't get the barrel on pitches in enough ABs. Do we really need average exit velocity to tell us that?

    Kelly needs to keep the ball in the ballpark. The Over/Under on Home runs by Kelly is 2. If he can keep it at 2 or under, we can compete, as long as they are not 3 run bombs (a Buchholz specialty).

    f*** Donnie Baseball. Hodges was the man.

    How do you feel that Big Papi can wave 3 rings from this century in front of your nose when no Yankee has more than 1?
  16. a700hitter
    Boggs is okay. The Red Sox didn't want him when he still had 6 years left in him. The owners messed up in letting an all time great walk for chump change.
  17. a700hitter
    That is what it is. It gives broadcasters something to talk about and ooh and ah about it. I am with Jerry Remy on this in that I don't really care about it. It iis a meaningless stat imo.
  18. a700hitter
    The exit velocity on his bomb against Betances must have been pretty high.
  19. a700hitter
    Buch has been garbage. We don't need advanced stats or analytics or fangraphs to know that. If the numbers and graphs don't support that he has been garbage, then someone got the numbers or the graphs wrong.
  20. a700hitter
    Not lost in the winning streak is the fact that the starting pitching needs reinforcing.
  21. a700hitter
    We're losing control to these interlopers!! We need to take our forum back and make TalkSox great again!! Our collctive OCD cannot stand clutter and disorganization.
  22. a700hitter
    He only made a few bad pitches. The batter almost knocked down the light bank on that one Homer. He needs to work on avoiding bad innings.
  23. a700hitter
    It is a no-brainer that Clay gets dropped from the rotation.
  24. a700hitter
    Corrected ^
