    Winning is fun, but we'll see how long the backups can keep this up. Saw a stat today that the Yankees have used 12 different outfielders so far this season: Aaron Judge Aaron Hicks Brett Gardner Clint Frazier Miguel Andujar Ryan Lamarre Tyler Wade Hoy Jun Park Estevan Florial Trey Amburgey Greg Allen Tim Locastro And yet Stanton isn't one of them. They'd bring in their 12th OFer before putting Stanton in the field. That's ridiculous.

    I think the biggest concern in NYC right now is the increase in violent crimes. Like any major city there's always going to be crime, especially in areas with low income and government housing. That increase is certainly affecting those areas but is also spilling into other neighborhoods and is happening at all times of the day. I think you'd have to be either blind or willfully ignorant to say there isn't a problem. People are being pushed onto the subway, robbed and beaten, and shot at in broad daylight on a daily basis. Three weeks ago I went to the new Krispy Kreme near midtown and somebody got shot one block away. It was like 4pm.

    DeBlasio actually started a program where the city would give rewards for people to show up to their court dates for various degrees of criminal charges, and one of the prizes was baseball tickets. So you may be right.

    That's what Tim Locastro did, and he got a torn ACL for it.
  5. bkzwhitestrican
    b He does speak English, but like many foreign players he prefers to speak through an interpreter so nothing get misconstrued.

    Damn I thought Hoy Jun Park was gonna come through for us there.

    Voit placed back on the IL today too. What a disastrous season for him. I haven't seen the full lineup yet for tonight but I hear it will include Chris Gittens, Rougned Odor, Brett Gardner, Tim Locastro, and Trey Amburgey. Ugh.

    Let's get back to the real discussion, how the Yankees will re-take the division over the next two months.

    So if you can still get COVID even if you have the vaccine, then that means you can also spread it even though you're vaccinated. If you're vaccinated then it probably won't have much of an effect on you if someone spreads it to you, but if you spread it to non-vaccinated people then they can get sick. So where does this leave us? Who TF knows.
  10. bkzwhitestrican
    COVID is still a thing? Thought was was a 2020 problem.
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    AAAA masher Trey Amburgey is getting called up for this series. Hopefully he can match our last outstanding prospect, Chris Gittens, who posted a modest .095/.200./.238 slash line.

    I like your write ups Jacko. Although I'm disappointed when every player doesn't become a star like you portray them
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    LOL. I wonder how long it will be until our newest "Worst Loss of the Year".

    Boone knows he's coaching for his job at this point. I'm sure we'll see plenty of other moves that seem desperate, especially when they play Boston.
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    Possibly, but I don't think they should. They're about .500 now and are still only 3 losses away from the 2nd wild card spot. Winning in the playoffs a lot of times is just about being hot at the right time, so if they have a chance to make it I'd like to see them try.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    A sweep would've been nice but taking 2 out of 3 on the road is fine. If they can keep winning series then they can get back into it, but the problem has been that they've followed every long winning streak with an equally long losing streak. The Yanks have 8 games against Boston, 3 against Tampa, and 3 against Houston coming up. To me this is their last chance to show that they can contend this season and maybe convince Cashman to buy at the deadline. I don't think going .500 in these series will be good enough, and if they flop completely then they may even sell at the deadline.

    Not sure how that Bauer thing will play out. It started out as consensual and they were both allegedly into choking/bondage/etc., but she alleged that he went too far in the bedroom.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    Not sure if it's spider tack related since his spin rates are still the same. Maybe he was using something else for grip like sunscreen though. In either case, Chapman has had a rough patch like this almost every season where we think he's done and then he returns to form. I'd expect the same. Just sucks when it's happening.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    Pitiful series. At least the first two games were close, but yesterday was embarrassing. If this happened in August I might say the Yanks are toast, but still a lot of baseball to be played. Can the team turn it around? They keep giving us a glimpse of what they could be, and then they fall flat on their faces when they have a chance to get close in the division. I'll still be watching, but every passing week I find myself a little more interested in their farm and a little less interested in the actual MLB team.

    These past two games remind me of the Yankees team earlier in the season. You'll lose more games than you'll win scoring 3 and 2 runs. They missed their chance to knock around Perez on Friday, then Boston's bullpen held them down the rest of the game. Eovaldi was good yesterday but not unhittable, the Yanks just couldn't string hits together (if only we could've gotten like 3 consecutive infield hits!).
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    Gamecast says game is delayed. What's going on?
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    People are too thin skinned. Words should not lead to violence.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    At least the offense bailed them out in the bottom of the inning. Would've been impossible for this team two weeks ago.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    I typically feel like managers don't have a huge impact on the game and it's up to the players to perform, but that was ridiculously stupid of Boone to have Chapman walk the bases loaded when he was already showing bad command. And it's not like it was Mike Trout he was putting on base, it was Carlos f***in Santana. So of course Chapman walks the next guy on 4 pitches to tie the game. And then gives up a check swing infield single to lose the lead for good measure. Why do I like baseball again?
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Wow that's BS. But I guess the league refusing to correct mistakes makes it more realistic.
