    That's fair. A lot of times I feel like I enjoy Red Sox losses more than Yankees wins.
  2. bkzwhitestrican
    The O's stink but I wouldn't be so quick to call them McNeely with John Means starting.

    I think Tanaka has been our ace this season. He's been durable, consistent (aside from the London game), and has pitched brilliantly in our biggest matchups. German has the stuff of an ace but we'll see how his arm holds up in the second half. He's already approaching his most innings in a season so I think his starts may be scaled down a bit, or he even may be sent to the pen and paired with an opener. Like Loaisaga, his biggest knock has always been his durability.

    On a side note your boy JDM is mucking up my fantasy team. To think I could've selected Yellich instead...

    He must have heard you

    Maybe if they improve. They're not scaring anyone with their play right now.

    This is obviously just a prelude to Cashman landing Max Scherzer

    You would think that the Yanks clobber LHPs with so with so many right handed sluggers on the team, but this season their splits are: vs RHP: .272/.347/.481 vs LHP: .242/.317.411 Not sure what the explanation is for this since we're already past the point of it being a SSS. Having Stanton would certainly aid the stat line vs LHP but it's still a pretty dramatic difference.

    Damn Cora holding back Cashner in ST, what an idiot!!

    Kinda surprised to hear considering what went down on the market this offseason. Good thing we have like 4 closers on the team.
  11. bkzwhitestrican
    Yeah Houston. Aside from the Dodgers they're probably the most complete team in baseball.
  12. bkzwhitestrican
    Yeah s*** happens. Chapman was a little off but he made enough good pitches. Just had some bad luck hits - slap single the other way against the shift, jam shot that was lofted over second for another single, and lazy fly ball that carried over the short porch. I think his mistake was continuously pitching d'Arnaud away when everyone knows that he's trying to hit the ball oppo. Oh well. With that post I've officially moved on from this loss.

    The only thing I ever liked about Nunez (when he was on the Yankees) was how his helmet always went flying off his head when he ran to first, rounded the bases, etc. Dude was an awful fielder, had a decent bat, and was kind of a bonehead on the bases.
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    Sucks to lose. Especially solely due to the bat of a scrub that not even the Mets wanted.
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    Bad move. Could've gotten at least a 20 piece McNuggets for him.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    Cashner himself isn't very good, but when you look at what he'll be replacing every 5th day it should make a difference. There have been 16 games started/opened by Velazquez/Weber/Johnson/Hernandez/Smith this season and they've combined for a 6.79 ERA and 1.66 WHIP.
  17. bkzwhitestrican
    Guess you gotta celebrate the few Yankees losses when you can
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    Sevy would be a big weapon in the postseason if we can get him back by late Aug/early Sept. Even if he's just throwing a few innings at a time out of the bullpen. I think you still get him ready for 2019.. unless tomorrow's tests come back showing that he's still injured.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    Here's a pretty fun tool that lets you come up with trade scenarios using derived trade values for every player: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ Based on this Wheeler would cost the Sox something like Casas and Lakins; and Roobie Ray would cost the Yanks something like Clint Frazier and Garrett Whitlock If anything this should at least help dispel the idea that you can trade all of your scrubs away to get a good player.

    As we all could have guessed, Deivi Garcia has shot up the prospect boards. He's thrown 68.2 innings across A+/AA with a 3.01 ERA and 114 Ks. He recently appeared in the Futures game and pitched a perfect inning while showcasing his full arsenal of pitches. He was also promoted to AAA yesterday even though he just turned 20. All of this has led to him being ranked the 25th best prospect in baseball by Baseball Prospectus in their midseason rankings. He is now a major league option for 2019 (likely the bullpen) when you consider that he's eligible for the Rule 5 draft next year so he'll have to be added to the 40 man roster anyway.

    I could see Mets management shipping Wheeler off to Boston at a discount just to spite the Yankees. And then they'll probably trade for Chris Davis.
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    These rest days should be planned out a little better in my opinion. With the ASB coming up and trying to take the series from our closest competitor in the standings you'd think everyone would be available. The difference between a win/loss is 2 games in the standings. Who knows how things would have played out, but one would think having LaMahieu and Torres in the lineup yesterday would have significantly increased our chances of scoring more than one run.

    What's all this Bogaerts talk, I thought this was the Aaron Rodgers thread
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    I am also a GB fan and watched every game last season. Rodgers definitely had a bad year by his own standards and was missing a lot of easy passes. But let's not forget he basically tore something in his knee week 1 against the bears and still played the whole year, behind a poor o-line (outside of bakhtiari and linsley) and throwing to an awesome davante adams + washed up jimmy graham and a bunch of 6th round rookies. These are all excuses sure, but even with all these factors he still managed what most other QBs would consider a good year.
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Aaron Rodgers' bad years are still better than most other QBs best years. 4400 passing yards, 25 TDs, 2 INTs, 97.6 passer rating (also almost 300 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs).
