Greinke refused to come to the Yankees - Giants weren't serious about MadBum; the Muts will not trade with the Yankees - it takes two to make a trade and the otter GM's were overcharging in their demands. What was Cash supposed to do?????If you listened to Cash PC, had we gotten Corbin, DJ, & Adam O would not most likely be in pinstripes. There are budgets & salary caps to be considered.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

Chapman made it nailbiter bringing the go ahead run to the plate - clutch hits from Romine & Tauchman early -shut down relief from Kahnle, Otavino & Britton just a few of the keys today.

Greinke said that before he signed with Arizona - he would never pitch for the Yankees - and he doesn't have a spotless record pitching in the Bronx where half of his starts would be in pinstripes would not be a good Yankeeby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

no moves for 25 man roster - just acquiring Alfredo Garcia from Colorado - A ball minor league pitcher. Boston, Houston didn't make any blockbuster moves. Looks like we wait to see when Severino, Betances & Loaisiga are ready.

if you watching or even listening to the game - what do think of his grunt before almost every pitch. Reminds me of the Karate guy getting ready to break a board. Wonder if it's distracting to hitters or can they zone it out??? Also notice that nice neat haircut he sports today.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Rags pitched a no hitter but not a perfect game July 4th 1983 but was never a Yankee pitching coach. Before Mel Stottlemyre 96 -2005; Billy Conners, , Nardi Contreas were PC's in the 90's. Chapman has not been dominate this year and could opt out at season's end. It's ironic that he can blow a save then get the win because the team comes back to win.

No surprise that Luke Voit was put on the IL - sports hernia. It's a wait & see whether 6-8 weeks with surgery or can it be treated in a couple of weeks. The other is David Hale with a lumbar strain. Jonathan Holder and Valera were recalled from S/WB. . Now settling in for an afternoon game with the D'backs and any trades coming over the wire.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that's why you, H-man, & I always get along - just like when the Yankees are going good we feed off each. We may not always agree - one's a coach, one's a younger fan & then there's there old grey-haired me. We balance each other but always with the goal of winning that next ring. Considering all the changes in the game from those days of 16 teams & 2 leagues with the winners go to thby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

the whole team is looking physically & emotionally drained - injuries are catching up. We're finding out just how deep our t=roster is. Time to get back to the fundamentals - staying within your zone instead of feeling pressured to go out of the K zone. Pitchers need to get it together & pitch.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
gee H-man sounds like I'm rubbing off on you. a bit. It's not being the eternal optimist to look for the good in this Team. There have been so many changes in baseball in nearly 70 years - we've seen in post season pitching trumps power hitters. With Judge keeping a good BA plus solid OBP, I'm not going to complain with fewer homers. I' m more concerned with the stupid umpires who can't adjust toby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
The Indians told all GMs to make their best offer - they had wanted Taylor Trammell during the off season but couldn't get him so when the offer made they jumped. Let's face the descent starters are pretty much off the market & the FA crop is not good. We're going to have to give up some quality to get an ace. Or does Cash dig his heels in and pin the future on the kids coming back or up???by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
the countdown is getting serious - 32 hours & counting until the trade deadline tomorrow afternoon. Strangely the Muts have made two deals first getting Stroman from the Jays then trading Vargas to the Phillies - imagine they will trade to a division rival they face 7-8 times a year but not the crosstown rival they only play 4 games during the interleague play!!! Now my GM wannabees - here'sby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Should Cash have agreed to trade Gleyber Torres + a minor league prospect to get Stroman? That's what they were asking from NYY only to accept 2 minor league prospects from NYM. I've been told Kay is the real deal but how often do highly rate prospects fail at MLB levels.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
the Jays are division rivals - they traded us Happ not necessarily expecting the Yankees to offer him a contract. Stroman is ''signed' through 2020 & Toronto knows that he would be offered a deal for another maybe 4/5 years & continue pitching against them. Call it spiteful but those GMs would consider it good business to hold the Yankees to a higher level. Maybe they are still rememberinby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com

it's always been that way H-man. Give Cash a little credit for not being willing to mortgage the farm - Ike the Muts seem to be doing - got friends thinking Kim is the real deal & should not have been traded and still complaining for the Cano trade -by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
you have no idea what we may have offered them - or what they were asking from the Yankees. Being in the same division or just being the New York Yankees - some teams will hold us to higher standards in trades - Toronto would have had to accept the deal - it's not just them telling them this is what we'll give you & the deal is done.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
