    You’ll still win. The O’s pen is a smattering of no names. They’ll pull Means and you’ll drop 5 and take it

    Devers lack of range led to Severino’s “single”. The walk ball 4 was low, but was close. E on Enrique. 2 run double. How’s that D Cora?
  3. jacksonianmarch
    Means dealing. That O’s team isn’t gonna win 50 this year. He’s their lone bright spot
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Hate the runner on 2nd rule. Oh well. Extras on opening day. Pitching was solid, hitting sucked. Go get em Saturday

    Judge coming up non clutch

    Totally forgot about no Chapman for games 1 and 2. Need Cole to give us 6

    Game 1 in 90s mins. Cannot watch, but very excited

    Stras threw exactly 4 more innings than Kluber last year. Corbin looked eminently hittable and had a velo drop in the sprint. Heck, Max wasn’t vintage last year and he turns 37 in July. And they’ve got zero quality depth behind their top 3 (Lester is cooked FYI). The Braves lack experience and they’ve got health issues as well. The White Sox are a good argument, but their ceiling isn’t as high. They’re more a steady Eddy rotation. But nobody has the 1-6 or 7 right now with a two time All star returning mid season.

    King was dynamite in 18 with solid velocity. He had bone spurs removed in 2018 and lost velo. He started to show it again last year. If he can maintained 93-95 mph velocity, he’ll have good results. If he drifts back down to 90, I’m afraid he could be lost. We shall see FYI mlb.com ranked the Yanks as 3rd best rotation in baseball

    Two issues in Taillon’s career. Cancer and TJS. He’s not a soft tissue guy. Paxton gets operated on yearly.
  11. jacksonianmarch
    And he’s one pitch from the 60 day DL. He’s never been healthy.
  12. jacksonianmarch
    Love it. And loved the banter the last few days. Keep it coming. We have needed baseball badly. Cannot wait
  13. jacksonianmarch
    Tell yourself whatever you want. Runs allowed is not a really good measure of a player as you know. 1.58WHIP, nearly 1HR/9IP for a sinkerballer, walks galore and he got lit up pretty good. Listen, he may end up being good. But since that HR allowed to George Springer, he has been awful. Nobody shrunk lower in big spots than Ottavino. I cannot wait to see how he does as closer against us. Well, that would assume you have a lead

    A good maple bat costs $100 and college hitters will definitely break more than 4 per season. At my school, we bought 4 metal bats per season prior to switching to wood. We bought 30 wood bats when we first started and needed a new shipment within a week
  15. jacksonianmarch
    There’s enough of them that it’s more likely one or more will than none will
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Ottavino sucked last year. You have to also see the added value of having kids growing into bigger roles. Loaisiga, Nelson, King, eventually Schmidt and a slew of other high velocity relievers (or starters turned relievers) are going to spend time in our pen.
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Net loss of one pitcher? That’s absolutely idiotic. Paxton gave us nothing. Severino is going to come back. We lost Happ and Tanaka, replaced them with Kluber, Taillon and at least a half season of Sevy. I’ll take that trade
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Also, the .550 reference was for the Sox. They’re not winning 89 games. Not even close
  19. jacksonianmarch
    They sucked in a 60 game sprint. No two ways about it. But they’re big league depth and have a history of being useful on a big league roster. Can also use Estrada or Wade in the middle infield and move Lemahieu to 1b, thereby improving the defense. Also, Voit won’t be out long. A meniscectomy, as long as it isn’t complicated, is an ambulatory procedure with most people returning to normal activity in 4-6 weeks.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    It’s all about the depth. Voit goes down, and Bruce and Ford are there to step up. Maybe we have Wade start at SS (great glove) move Torres to 2b and Lemahieu to 1b and roll with a stronger defensive infield? Britton and Wilson goes down, Loaisiga and a slew of other high end rooks will be there to fill in. Garcia had a rough start to end the spring? He’s 21, it’ll happen. He’ll be back up. You question when Sevy will return, but laud Sale and his return. Sevy was operated on before Sale and is way ahead of him in his rehab, lol. Our starting 5 looks dynamite heading into opening day. The lineup will still maul. And the division got decidedly worse with Tampa losing arguably their top two starters. I expect the Yanks to be wire to wire winners as does pretty much every MLB pundit
  21. jacksonianmarch
    You don’t already hope Toronto takes the division? Cmon now. But yes, this is the deepest and most complete Yankee team in a decade plus. I said the same last year and we improved. Sevy and Paxton going down hurt tremendously and the 60 game sprint didn’t help, but we did go to a deciding game vs the AL champs and lost by 1. Not really that far off from being in the WS. This year, far deeper team all over. Deeper rotation. Deeper pen (once Kahnle went down). The lineup should be better as well. I’m excited for 2021. We should make it to the WS and challenge the Dodgers for sure. The only thing I’ve been correcting is the faint hint of optimism about your squad. This isn’t a sprint. There’s no chance of a .550 team through 60 games lucking into the POs. This is a full season with a weak team that has no depth and is already losing people. I have doubled down on it
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Sox depth or lack thereof is why you’re not sniffing the POs. You needed vintage ERod. You’re not even getting any ERod to start
  23. jacksonianmarch
    Did they cut Bruce yet? Lol. Andujar being hurt really messes up his chances
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge
  25. jacksonianmarch
    Sooooo. Remember how I said he’d have endurance issues. Maybe just a little? While this is a normal event for a lot of pitchers, it seems fitting it’s the guy who missed a whole year due to heart inflammation who wasn’t allowed to jog for 6 months
