thank you Seattle for knocking of one gameby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Who really know? There is no pat answer. Maybe he was too successful/dominate too quick. The first injury last in 2017 set him back a little - he put on too much weight then lost it over the past off season. Maybe he lost muscle tone as well leading to the groin injuries that sidelined him. Then there was Joe G trying to straighten him out & he either didn't or wouldn't listen so Joe 'embarraby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Winning the W/C is a must before we get to the Sux - but I would start Severino v Oakland. He didn't fare well in BeanTown but dominated at the Stadium. Happ would be the game 1 starter in Funkway. If Sevy struggles, we can bring in a dominating relief corps. (think that was part of last night's experiment) Right now the important thing is to get HF for the WC.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
great job with the bullpen going 9 strong - all gave solid performances. Awesome gamesaver by Gardy. Britton showed his confidence in Sanchez with that hug after the game. Sonny Gray wouldn't be on my post season roster- I don't trust his attitude.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
well that's comforting to know - guess I've been more focused on whether or not Didi will be able to play again this year. He would be a huge loss & wrist injuries scare me - torn ligaments or tendons, fractures - they all weaken wrist strength.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
While we celebrated yesterday's win & clinching of our playoff spot - we learned the real cost today. Didi scored that gw run in the 11th with a head first slide into the plate. He has torn cartilage & received a cortisone shot today. According to reports, there is a chance he could return = evaluation in a few days will tell. My first reaction was to remember the injury to Tex which tookby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
and now we have more work to do - like HFA for the W/C and get a few guys hittingby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
and a year later we would be winning #27 - I want to see #28by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Time waits for no one - it passes in the blink of an eye. Thought maybe it was just because I getting older - this is why I keep saying to enjoy the highs. In the first 152 games we've seen a lot of positives - sure it hasn't all been roses & whipped cream - but like Dr. Jeter told young Derek enjoy the moment- well he store a lot of them to reflect back on now in his retirement. Did you notiby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Ok the inevitable happened last night - congratulations to the Sux for clinching 1st place in the ALE You bet that pisses me off - BUT let's see if seeing our longstanding rival celebrate on our turf can ignite a flame under the 2018 Yankees - think back to 1997 losing to the Indians & the energy we saw in '98. We have 10 games left in regular season - 3 with the O's then on the road. Doesn'by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
that one I understood anticipating runs to be at a premium with Tanaka & Rodriquez - both pitchers didn't have good stuff. But why bring Green in for a second inning when he wasn't throwing 1st pitch strikes - then to bring Betances in with even one runner on is not smart. Larry Rothchild IS NOT DOING HIS JOB as pitching coach. Here we are in the 8th inning & sickeningly looks like Baltiby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
yes you would - just to see who gets the last laugh & see how this group gels in the futureby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
just remember I won't be there in person to resuscitate if they win here's to a great performance from TanakaTimeby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
decision time - to chance going Thursday night knowing the sickening scene that could take place. The true test comes tonight coming back from the blowout and winning. Past has seen a complete shutdown on O for these guysby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Sanchez was charged with the pass ball not a wp to J - no way that run should have scored. Good to see you - hope all is wellby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
a relief to get the "W" - Evo turns it up a notch when he pitches against us. Beginning to wonder about Sanchez behind the plate - not that he doesn't have the talent to pull off being a solid catcher but who's there to coach him this year. Whether he listened or got offended when Joe G called him out, at least we knew someone was trying to help him. Listen to Cone & Flaherty tellinby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
To make room for Sheff Clint Frazier has been moved to the 60 day DL - but he's probably been out for most of 60 days already and 60 days going forward takes us to Thanksgiving week. Hope the off season allows him to heal completely for next year - or have we seen the last this young man's career??by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
AJ will be back in his usual #2 spot in the lineup when the game starts tonight - Boone has also shown hints of what our post season team could look. Against a lefty, Neil Walker not Greg Bird will start at 1st with Andrew McCutchen in left not Brett Gardner. Good chance that Bird won't be on a post season roster at least early rounds - gotta go with strong "25".by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
guess it's too much to hope we sweep the Suxby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
IF that happens I will hit the channel button before the last out is complete - couldn't stand to watch w/o vomitingby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Yeah I'm going after the pitching coach - his job this year more than in previous is to help with the pitching changes; keep an eye on what the pitchers have each batter/game. Yesterday's loss is on him - or whoever decided to bring the B-list relievers. Today is on him right now - a 2-1 lead gone because Dellin Betances threw yesterday comes in today - when he gave up the first hit - get somebodby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Boone did give Sevy & the Tanaka an extra last week - after tomorrow there will be no more off days until the season ends - WOW where did it go? We could start Sheff against the O's next weekend - short leash if he gets in trouble. then it gets tough 4 games in Tampa finishing up with 3 in ChowdahTownby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Two weeks from today the regular season ends - you are the manager of the Yankees. You were hired because you could infuse sabermetrics/computer-advised stats into the lineup & pitching changes. Doing this you've seen your team go from having a first-place lead in the ALE to a 'lock on the W/C one-game playoff' to now scurrying for your W/C spot at all. Ok in all probably you will hold on toby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
wasn't the offense yesterday - the pitching especially Sabathia ^& Kahnle that lost it. coming from 8-1 deficit - not the offense, not the D the pitching blew itby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
AJ has been activated from the DL BUT with stipulations he can't hit - he can pinch run or play the field . Well this is a perk with the expanded roster when making that 2 player switch.by toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
Maybe I learned to roll with the punches and see what happens. This season was divided into 3 parts - that really slow start then a hot streak that took us into first place with the best or second best record next to Houston Then came settling back to Earth which coincided with injuries so we fell behind Boston but maintained that nice lead on HFA in a W/C game. In the last month that lead is dowby toga - TheYankeesBoard.com
