  1. Put it this way, who would have replaced that production? I’ll wait.
  2. It’s fair to say that we wouldn’t have found that production within that 2018 pitching staff, therefore, yeah, we don’t win it all that year without Price.
  3. LOL funny how you are splitting those numbers. You are overtaxing his performance vs NY in those POs. My turn. Put away that DS vs NY performance which is symbolic compared with his performance in the whole regular season plus the ALCS and the WS and what you got? In my book? A stud close to ace. The samples are not even close. i.e. Regular Season + ALCS + WS >>>>>>>>>>> DSCS
  4. Geez moon he posted a solid 3.5 ERA and a 1.1 Whip that year in regular season. Also he won 3 games in those POs 1 vs Houston and 2 vs LAD in the WS which he posted a ridiculous 1.98 ERA. Yes, it’s a fact, without him we don’t win it all that year.
  5. Price was great in 2018 POs moon. Without him we don’t win in 2018. It’s a fact.
  6. The fact they didn’t over a decade speaks volumes Moon.
  7. I meant all-in-all the money spent in those decades. It includes cheap pick ups and salaries paid to players via trades.
  8. Still, you had to win the games Price pitched in 2018 PO. Without those games you probably hadn’t won the WS. It’s easier to say than done moon.
  9. I love Arroyo, not sure why he doesn’t play everyday — and as a leadoff.
  10. Your new leadoff ladies and gentlemen.
  11. Geez man really? Sale had a CY first-half season. Price in POs was a stud. Who would have replaced those 2018 productions? I’ll wait. Do not forget we destroyed 3 100+ win teams in POs. Arguably the toughest path to win a WS in MLB history. Without Price we don’t get it done pal.
  12. Yeah Arroyo has to take the job as leadoff moving forward.
  13. I was kind of kidding old sport BUT as I’ve been saying for several years (even before you signed here), the NYY certainly have assembled good teams but not good enough to win it all. This philosophy won’t get it done moving forward IMO.
  14. Well we have won 4 rings —the best team in XXI C thus far. Hard to argue we haven’t spent money wisely. If we haven’t nobody has. Regarding Price, he was a huge asset to win in 2018. I do not regret a bit, do you? Also Cole didn’t have Price’s pedigree at the time (2016). Apples and oranges bro.
  15. How did the TBR and TOR get in the conversation? Lol The NYY are not good at spending money in the last 10 years. This is a fact.
  16. As I said, their formula won't get it done. If a team like NY doesn't win rings, no matter what the W/L say. It's not TBR baseball. They haven't won s*** in a decade. It's not a small sample. This year if they make the POs will be rare. TB, TOR and BOS are better.
  17. As I said, they could be a mediocre-to-good team in coming years but they will never win a WS going like this. We have won 4 WS since JH arrived. Our formula has worked better since then. We have pushed the right buttons when we needed even when it meant to change the entire FO. Adapt or die. We had to sacrifice several key pieces of the farm in the process in order to win rings. It has worked out. In the end that is ultimate goal. Winning rings. TBR, Atlanta, OAK and other other "good" farms haven't won s*** in years either. Actually, our farm has been better since then. It has been on the field where it matters —winning championships. Yankees haven't been in that position. BTW funny how you constantly defend the Yankees LOL
  18. That is a very thin core IMO and not to mention Jugde is made of crystal glass. If they want to spend like drunken sailors again, be my guest, but money won't fix this in the short-term. Their problems are deeper the way I see it. They need to change their philosophy, and in order to do that they have to replace their FO.
  19. The Captain is another key asset in that coaching staff. Cora is a great asset as well. As I said several weeks ago, this team will surprise a lot of people. There's still a long run but Bloom is showing what he is capable of.
  20. As I said it in other post, The New York Yankees are nothing but a team loaded of plenty injury-prone and overrated players who btw make tons of money. Yeah, this formula on paper looked good some years ago. It hasn't worked out and IMHO they won't go anywhere like this. They need to rebuild from the ground.
  21. well, their pitching hasn't been good lately either. Not to mention Kluber is gone. Cole was just destroyed. Their pen can't hold games anymore. How many runs have they eaten since they were swept by Detroit (yes, Detroit)? They have to rebuild. IMO.
  22. Offense was dead in that series. They woke up a bit here, specially the bottom of the order and when it counts the most.
  23. f***ing yes! Took more time than expected but a win lol GG
