Dodgers scouting report was the Yankees had talent over fundamentals. Their lack of fundamentals lost them a World Series. I know you went to the WS. Your talent won you 93 games. You lined up with quite possibly the best matchups ever in the DS and CS. The Dodgers are talented but very injured and yanks couldn’t sniff wins against them. I still think coaching changes are needed but they won’t happen. Lacking fundamentals is in the coaching staff. Now it turns to the offseason. Yanks are gonna need to get creative for the lineup…. Yanks have to sign Soto. Prediction 10 years $620 mil. Stupid contract but generational player. Dodgers and Mets to be involved but Yanks cannot lose this one Dominguez moves into CF. Judge goes to LF where he belongs. Soto stays in RF. Torres is a FA. Yanks have a former top prospect in the wings who has been too hurt to take the next step. Might be time to see what Peraza can do if the Yanks can’t bring Torres back Yanks desperately need offense out of 1b. It was a black hole this year. Gotta sign someone who can hit, whether it’s Walker or Polar Bear on a pillow deal, I don’t really care. Need to get something better than a .600 OPS out of that traditional power spot Yanks also need to build out middle relief. Their closer in Weaver is back, but everyone else is gone and the upper minors pitching talent is devoid at best right now This team is gonna look mighty different. Hopefully the coaching staff does as well

Game 2, Yanks got handled. Can’t blame Boone. But the Dodgers are a great team. We should be 1-1 going back to the Bronx. Now, game 3 is a must win. And where in hell is our captain? The captain should be our best player in the postseason, not our biggest liability. If the Yanks resign Soto, let’s remove the C from Judge and give it to him

The Yanks had it. Ohtani coming up, two runners on, one out. You need to keep the ball on the ground. Tim Hill had a near 70%GB rate. Instead you go with Nestor, who hadn’t pitched in a month and admittedly is pitching with an injury that could get worse. Why that spot? You wanna get Nesty in, do it middle innings. If Nestor wasn’t hurt, then he’s the right play as he just kills lefties. But he is, so you gotta be smart, something Boone is incapable of.

Cortes now? Stupid

By the way, that Soto at bat was one of the best atbats I’ve ever seen. He’s going up against an elite reliever. He sees absolutely everything that that guy has. Soto essentially tells him during the at bat that he can’t get him out. He fights And awaits the fastball. He gets one fastball and doesn’t miss.

Getting Soto changed the narrative for Cashman. He was always looking for the under the radar signing or he’d pay through the nose for the established, older player. This was the first time since we got Javy Vazquez that the Yanks traded for an in prime, in arbitration superstar. Javy didn’t work out and they really haven’t gone that route since. Soto is adding to his paycheck now and the Yanks are almost forced to outbid everyone for him. With Judge going into the tank in the postseason year after year, they need someone else to pair with Stanton (a historically great playoff hitter) to be the bats in the post season. im gonna enjoy this ride as I think next year’s Yanks are going to look a lot different

And in the world of making sense we then beat Clase. 3-1. I’m exhausted!

We got Booned again. Weaver had been amazing. So Boone goes to him for multi inning saves every single game. He uses him in Game 2, up 4. Then Game 3, he’s got nothing and gives it up. Today he goes to Holmes with runners on, which you never do. He tried to get another inning out of a guy who wasn’t even on the roster until today and it burned him. We should be sweeping this team tonight. Instead, we are likely headed to a 2-2 tie. Absolutely abysmal

How many times does Clay Holmes need to suck before we stop putting him into big spots?

What the hell

How bout them Yanks!!

That would be awesome!

jacksonianmarch is back! I did not remember the email I set up with, so I needed to make a new one. Yanks are 2 games away from the WS, although they don't look great and have played s***** teams who don't belong. I will take it. Life has been nuts, so when the changeover happened, I never took the time to sign back up. Hope all are doing well
