I can see Torres turning things around.
-
There's a certain breed of "fan" who thinks anything less than winning by something like 8-1, with no mistakes in the field or on the bases, is not good enough. -
OPS+ 2018 132 2019 117 2020 101 2021 71 Not a great trend for a 341 million dollar man.
-
Based on the numbers for the last 3 seasons, Lindor may already be in serious decline as a hitter. And his extension doesn't even start until next year!
-
jad, as of right now, 341 million man Lindor is hitting .212, and 365 million man Mookie is hitting .240.
-
It's a long season, but as of right now, Verdugo has posted better numbers in 2021 than Mookie.
-
Yeah, Bloom has been a disaster. You are so Looney Tunes.
-
Dubya Richards and Andriese - thanks Bloom!
-
The comments from Yankee fans about him looking injured (and there have been a lot of them) had nothing to do with his swing, only with his running.
-
We haven't needed 14 pitchers. That is indisputable. Ergo, there must be reasons other than need.
-
No, no team needs 13 or 14 pitchers, if what you're talking about is one game.
-
The big surprise is that the Giants are right in there too. San Fran leads the majors in fewest runs allowed. San Diego is #3 and the Dodgers are #4.
-
Damn good. Thanks Ben!
-
Never heard of a win-win situation?
-
Sometimes both teams win.
-
Careful, we're going to bring S5 Dewey out of hiding.
-
Maybe. Most years there are one or two teams that fall well below expectations. It's surprising when it's the Yankees because they have such a consistent record of making the playoffs or close to it.
-
Some cursory research indicates that the original rules for 2020 were to limit pitchers to 13, but when the pandemic hit they decided to scrap the limit.
-
I think the Yankees are in deep trouble. I would not make a straight-up bet that we finish ahead of them, but if I was given odds of 2.5 to 1 or better, I would take it.
-
You say you trust Cora, but you've been questioning this like crazy. My approach is that since I trust Cora, I try to figure out what his reasoning is.
-
The Kimbrel deal has always been pointed to as a serious overpay in talent by Dave. The X factor in that trade is Logan Allen, who is in the Guardians' rotation this year.
-
It also gives Cora more pitchers to use in blowouts. You still have to cover the innings in non-meaningful situations. The net result is that in September, the good relievers will all have pitched a few less innings than they normally would have by that point.
-
Of course they didn't build the roster around him. But under the current bizarre circumstances of MLB, this seems to be working out pretty damn good with him.
-
Disagree 100%. Whitlock pitched on the 4th, 8th, 14th, 19th and 23rd. Big gaps between appearances. Which means most games he's 100% unavailable. It's having an extra pitcher that enables them to use him like this.
-
I don't necessary love it or not love it. But I'm confident that the team has valid reasons for going this route.
