  1. The return of Big Nate, Whitlock and Sale may- help improve the pen by attrition.
  2. 1. Duran CF 2. Devers 3B 3. JD DH 4. Bogey SS 5. Verdugo LF 6. Story 2B 7. Cordero 1B 8. Vaz C 9. JBJ RF SP: Winckowski Bench Dalbec Refsnyder Plawecki Downs
  3. Whitlock, Big Nate and Kike, soon. Sale in July. Paxton in August. Who needs a trade deadline?
  4. You are assuming no injuries, which for the Yanks is like assuming the sun won't rise, tomorrow. That being said, you guys look unstoppable, right now, and that goes beyond your starting 5.
  5. I haven't bet in over 20 years, so using that as your criteria is a bit shallow. I made a statement. Statements can be opinions of facts. Mine did not say which one it was. If you took as a fact that must be wagered on is very telling- about you, not me. My post was meant to be light-hearted as I was teasing jacko for jinxing the team. The context might also include my post from minutes before that said, "We don't know what will happen, next, but sometimes bad skids start with a game like this." This is the sentiment I meant to convey. Of course, nobody knows if a pitching slump begins or not, but most slumps do start with a very bad game. Take that as you wish. Bet against yourself, if you feel the need, but please try to learn what the word "trolling" means.
  6. Arroyo must not be ready.
  7. I guess someone might have gotten hurt between the trade and the DFA.
  8. I just mentioned an OF'er as an option- more likely a single-A prospect.
  9. That is not a guarantee. Again, do you need a dictionary? Would you bet the Yankee pitching numbers stay the same or improve going forward? Their start to the season is a very high bar to stay at or exceed. No, I don't bet, anymore.
  10. You mean the Sox are not the only team making a few poor choices with their pen? Their Joe Kelly signing was brilliant, too.
  11. Talk about trolling. Who guaranteed a pitching slump? Mr. Stawman?
  12. I kinda like the name, and it has history to it.
  13. A higher WAR is directly related to more IP. What's probably surprising to some are these numbers. OPS Against .665 Pen .677 SP Unearner or ghost runners allowed 16 pen in 260 IP 11 SP in 339 IP
  14. Further into the past NOT future. Do you need glasses or a dictionary?
  15. It seemed like an appropriate jab. Lord knows we received our amount of jabs from Yankee fans for decades.
  16. I certainly know he won't stay at .943, but it's not outlandish to think he might provide more than just a flash as a RH'd platoon for the remainder of 2020.
  17. Hard to blame a Yankee fan for blathering on and on, right now. Remember how badly we felt after going so long between rings? Thing of this as their 2004, and they don't even have a ring, yet.
  18. It's not at all about division winners, to me. I don't like the fact that division winners with worse records make the playoffs or get higher seeds. It's all about playing 162 games to weed out the bad teams and pretenders. I don't like one game play-in games. In baseball, luck is more important than other sports. I don't like 3 game series for the same reason. I'd liek to see all playoff series be 7 games, and with 14 or 16 teams making the playoffs, the season would need to be shortened.
  19. They have a ways to go, and certainly it is not a sure thing they ever win a ring, but the path has been established, and the farm and 40 man roster rebuild happened much more quickly than I ever imagined it could. I'm not surprised so many have graded them harshly, as context is often ignored, and mistakes have been mades, but overall, it's as clear as day. Better than C+ for both.
  20. Indeed, despite the fact that we won our last 8 games to force the playoff game and 12 out of 14. While the Yanks choked the last game of the year to CLE 9-2 and went just 8-5 in your last 13 games to help force the tie. Yes, anything can happen.
  21. One man gathers what another man spills.
  22. He might not be any GMs first choice, but I'm not saying we'd get anything good for Arroyo.
  23. I'm on pins and needles! What time is the deadline for announcing the roster moves?
