    Just saw a pitcher up to bat with the bases loaded and the count was 0-2. And he bunted foul. Yeah that's some great strategy

    You take the good with the bad with Cashman. Our problem each year seems to be the rotation, and although it's still too early to say anything about this year's rotation, the early results are not good. He did take steps to address it in the offseason, but given the internal cap constraint he had to make high risk/reward moves rather than just go spending on a FA starter. I give him credit for acquiring Urshela/Voit/Hicks for basically nothing, which is a third of our starting lineup. Also his bullpen construction is always very good. The lineup is a bit one dimensional but still one of the best in baseball. It's easy to criticize all his failures but I have a hard time envisioning another GM doing a much better job than him.

    The first three runs were off of a bunch of ground balls that found holes. He still has to build himself up but he has shown promise before seeming to tire out around 70ish pitches.

    Really the only bad mistake German made was a hanger to Arozarena for a solo HR. The other HR by Meadows was off a low change up that hit the bottom of the foul pole. The other two runs were from bad luck and bad defense. He looked better than his first start.
  6. bkzwhitestrican
    I think German was sent down only because we don't need a fifth starter for awhile with all the off days coming up.
  7. bkzwhitestrican
    Our starter went four innings today so at least that's an improvement. Maybe we can have German, Kluber, and Taillon all pitch on the same day in order to save the bullpen.

    At least Judge is back today. We'll see how long before he is mysteriously out of the lineup for another week

    Is that the same Boston team that was swept at home by the Orioles? It can be spun any way.

    Glad I'm at work for this game. I know Kluber has been laid up for almost 2 years but I hope he gets his command back, otherwise I think he's gonna be toast.

    15 baserunners and only 3 runs. Very unclutch ABs by everyone except Urshela and Higgy. Gleyber booting more routine plays at short. 3 and a half hours wasted.
  12. bkzwhitestrican
    He was DFA'd for a reason. The Yanks gave away two actual prospects (Stowers and Cabello) for him so they must like him a lot more than we do. He's only 27 so maybe they think he can be the next revival project like Hicks/Gio?

    A+ game thread title

    Lousy starting series but both losses were close even though the offense was trash. Hopefully the O's visiting jump starts the bats.
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    That game was brutally long with almost no action. I'm a big fan of enforcing pitch clocks.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    Bit of an overreaction from one game. And I never get the fascination that relying on HRs to score is some kind of curse. The teams who win the World Series are consistently near the top of the league in home runs. If it's a contact issue, then sure the Yankees strike out a bunch but that's a league wide issue. Last season the Yankees were 10th in K% (with 1st being the best/lowest) and 13th in 2019, so it's not like they're especially bad. 10th inning aside because that guy the Jays brought in was unhittable yesterday, but during the 7th and 9th innings the Yankees put the ball in play when they needed to but got a double play and a force out at home. Sometime s***** outcomes happen. They went 0-10 with RISP yesterday and were still able to get to extra innings. I don't expect them to bat .000 in those situations forever.

    The big spot found DJ and Judge multiple times, and neither came through once. That'll do it.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    They're more interested in their TikToks and Spongebob and whatever else those whippersnappers like these days. Dagnabbit!
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    Nice intro. I'm also pumped for this season, and not just for the Yanks. But also to stalk these boards after bullpen implosions, bad managerial decisions, and Mookie displacement syndrome Looking forward to another year of it all, best of luck.
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    Agree about Wade and King, but Nelson is a starter converted to a reliever so can't really read into his numbers while starting. He would probably be a top 3 bullpen option for the Sox 😁
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    Judge hasn't played in the last three ST games. Hope we don't get another surprise surgery.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    At this point I'd be ok with him hitting .200 as long as he adds 30 HRs, and isn't total ass behind the plate.
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    Around the beginning of May. Supposedly.
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    If you're interested to know who the good players are this season, just take a look at my team
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Most rankings I've seen have him outside the top 3. The concensus top guys seems to be Mookie/Acuna/Soto in any order.
