    As well as every other pitcher the Yankees brought in
  2. bkzwhitestrican
    Even though he's been pretty good I'd be surprised if the Yankees resign him. Unless Soto signs elsewhere.
  3. bkzwhitestrican
    I saw this tidbit today: "Over the last three weeks the Red Sox have been 26-26, 27-27, 28-28, 29-29, 30-30, 31-31, 32-32, 33-33, and 34-34." Since Boston is now 35-34, logic says they will lose two out of three to the Yanks and get back to 36-36.
  4. bkzwhitestrican
    Dat be true. It's actually pretty impressive that Boston is hanging around .500 with all of the injuries they've had.
  5. bkzwhitestrican
    They did have him for almost 2 months. They started off 29-20 before he got hurt, which is good, but not amazing. He hadn't heated up yet so that's probably why there hasn't been much of a drop off since his absence (he finished this season hitting .250 with a .716 OPS).
  6. bkzwhitestrican
    They can weather Stanton going down. It would actually give them an opportunity to call up Dominguez. If one of Judge or Soto went down the offense would take a huge dip, and they'd go from great (69% win pct) to just good (50-60% win pct), assuming the pitching keeps performing.
  7. bkzwhitestrican
    Yanks lead the league in double plays. Two more tonight with bases loaded. Also 11 guys LOB. That'll do it
  8. bkzwhitestrican
    Athletes do tend to be dumber than average. But yes that would be very dumb.
  9. bkzwhitestrican
    While bad for the Dodgers, the schadenfreude from all other fan bases is quite high. Would be wild if they can prove that Ohtani was actually the one gambling and his friend was just a scapegoat.

    For anyone interested in the Yankees fan site's take on the Sox's 2024: https://www.pinstripealley.com/2024/2/29/24084685/mlb-season-preview-2024-boston-red-sox-devers-yoshida-story-casas-giolito-jansen

    Stroman is probably more of a #4 starter than a 2 at this point in his career. Still better than what we had, but if he's our second best pitcher this season then things have probably gone wrong.
  13. bkzwhitestrican
    Monty will be an overpay wherever he goes, but he's probably the best option available since it won't deplete the farm and he has the track record of being able to pitch in NY.
  14. bkzwhitestrican
    He's a POS. I heard it from my cousin who's friend adopted their dog from their neighbor's kid's cousin. No way the dog is wrong.
  15. bkzwhitestrican
    The Soto signing brings a lot of hope for this year, but it's easy to forget that 7 out of 9 of our lineup spots last year were below average/black holes (Judge and Torres the only exclusions). If Rizzo still sucks because of his concussion, and Stanton hits .200, and Volpe/Peraza/Wells don't develop, and Lemahieu's 2nd half surge was just a fluke, then adding Soto is only going to matter so much.
  16. bkzwhitestrican
    You sure these players are all in the trade? Have yet to see anything finalized.
  17. bkzwhitestrican
    Half the players taken in the Rule 5 draft came from either the Yanks or Red Sox.
  18. bkzwhitestrican
    I think Brito could be a really good multi-inning reliever. He's a lot like King was a few years ago. Began as a starter but couldn't really harness his stuff, got sent to the bullpen and was able to use his starter's arsenal to be be really effective over few inning bursts. Personally I'd rather keep Brito over Vazquez.
  19. bkzwhitestrican
    I don't think it's guaranteed that Dominguez takes over as soon as he is healthy. The guy has barely played above AA. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him until Sep call ups
  20. bkzwhitestrican
    It's cool to see random teams like Texas and Arizona make the World Series, but it also makes that grueling 162 game season kinda pointless if a team can slip in with 84 wins and win it all. Heck the Yanks had 82 wins this season, who knows what they could've done in the postseason! (Probably score 1 total run in 2 games)
  21. bkzwhitestrican
    f*** the Asteroids
  22. bkzwhitestrican
    I guess ownership felt that 2023 was not a rebuild year?
  23. bkzwhitestrican
    Meaningless September baseball is the worst
  24. bkzwhitestrican
    Jesus Montero also looked this good to start his career. I've learned to wait until they play their first full season before declaring someone a star. But definitely a promising start for him.
  25. bkzwhitestrican
    Agreed on needing to fill multiple positions. Was only talking about Rizzo though. I think he can OPS .770+ because he surpassed it last year, and also this year until he got concussed. The reduction of shifts has helped him, and he also still plays good defense (when playing healthy).
