Another classic exchange from a Yankee forum, this one about Chris Gittens.
Poster 1: His swing looks very long.
Poster 2: His career looks very short.
The preseason projections on the Yankees weren't really grounded in much logic. They were 33-27 last year, they replaced Tanaka and Happ with Kluber and Taillon, and that was supposed to vault them into a 105 win team?
The thing about preseason projections is, fans could do as well on them as 'experts'. It's all guesswork.
The Yankees really decided to go X Factor with their rotation when they signed both Kluber and Taillon. How could anyone reliably predict what those two would do? Answer: they couldn't.
Marwin deserves some love for his performance in this series. 5 RBI in 3 games, and some big ones.
Also got his OPS back over .600 LOL
It's like we've reached the point that if your OPS is over .600, there's still hope for you.
This isn't the first time Cole's number has popped up with the sticky stuff. Just before the season started there was a story about a suspicious-sounding e-mail he sent. Plus Bauer made some accusations about him.
