I did expect he'd do better finding "Gems in the rough," as that was supposed to be his strength, but the guy had a tiny spending budget and 20 holes to fill, and his biggest emphasis was building the farm and by the end of 2020 and the start of 2021 he DID greatly improve the bottom of the roster. Expecting a miracle in just a half season, within the context of what he took over and the budget he had was unrealistic. He was staring at a cliff. I know you hated that word from day one, but call it whatever you wish. He had a nice foundation of 6-8 players and very little else. With no budget to spend, did you really expect much better in 2020?

I'd say the odds are close to 60% he stays a Yankee.

Big Nate on the mound.

It's great seeing Houck do very well in high leverage situations. Tonight's line: SP 4 IP 4 ER 4 BB+H RP 6 IP 1 ER 5 BB+H (No ghost runner scoring)
-
He's so up and down. .632 first 999 PAs in MLB (2014-2018) .799 middle 710 PAs (2019-2020) .672 last 644 PAs (2021-2022), but he's been bring it up, recently
-
Wow!
-
That time, it would have been better.

Vaz-ectomy!!!
-
We might have a better chance at scoring without a ghost runner.
-
I know it's probably all in my head, but I swear we hit good pitching better than we do unknowns and struggling pitchers.
-
Story on base for the third time, tonight (lol.)
-
We've had many chances. Not that 5 is a bad number.
-
Just because I really like Cofra, does not mean I never disagree. (BTW, many times I disagree, his choice works, so who is wrong?) Cora did stick with Kike in the leadoff slot a long time, last year, and it finally paid off. Was he wrong? In hindsight, I'd say yes. He should have know precisely when Kike was going to heat up, and put him leading off that very day.
-
Our bottom of the order is doing much better the last 3-4 weeks. Story is fast. Leading Kike off is a mistake. I guess we could lead off our best singles hitter- JD, but we already have issues scoring from 2B on doubles.
-
Maybe another one-handed HR?
-
Cora putting Houck on the hot frying pan.
-
I was sure it would be a leadoff walk.
-
I can't watch. I know what's coming.
-
No doubt, Kike should not be leading off, at least until he can go a month of so hitting well. Is it time to go with... 1. Story 2. Devers 3. JD 4. Bogey 5. Cordero 6. Verdugo/Kike 7. Kike/Verdugo 8. Vaz 9. JBJ/Dalbec/Arroyo
-
Um, Kike has "picked it up, too. No, you're not the only one here, tonight, but you've been bashing Kike more than anyone I know, and for longer, too. Eye Test- as in get your eyes checked Since May 20th .849 JBJ .817 Kike .783 Verdugo Looks like they all have been heating up, and the two best fielders are 1-2, yet you want Kike platooned not Verdugo, and despite all but Kike being LH'd hitters.
-
Exactly, especially on the road and with our record with ghost runners.
-
Miracle it was with 2 outs.
-
But, it doesn't tell you enough with Verdugo or JBJ? Of course, he's sucked at bat, this year- just about from day 1 to now. My point is, so has everyone else, but you seem to single him out, and he's twice the defender as Verdugo and Duran.
