Getting no hit by the Astros traumatized the Yankees
I think they are mad about the Montgomery trade. Monty has 3 wins since he got traded at deadline and the Yankees have 4
I think you have a good point..... that trade was just baffling.
Yeah some players were upset
There pitching ain't the problem the BATS went Ghost. Plain and simple
Great Summation.
Thanks again for your time and work Derek.
Cole has sucked or hasn't been as good ever since he couldn't use the spider tac
Cole been decent
And Hicks is in the lineup today. Unreal
The Yankees are the cowboys of the mlb
Derek, please stop apologizing for being negative. There legitimately isn't anything to be positive about with this team right now. And you're absolutely right, this is an organizational failure and there's plenty of blame to go around. I've been calling for Trashman and Fishman to be fired for two years now, but I also blame Hal for keeping them around. I don't necessarily blame Boone, I mostly blame Trashman for a hiring a guy with no experience instead of hiring a guy like Buck Showalter. They hired Boone to babysit, blow bubbles, and be nauseatingly positive. They're getting what they wanted. They didn't want somone like Buck who would hold players accountable.
Who's to Blame ? Let's start at the Top ! Hal Steinbrenner, and end with Brian Cashman..............
Hal doesn’t wanna win like the last seinbrenner he’s not win at all costs
You forgot Boone.
I watch these exact kinda vids cuz... I'm a Braves fan! 😂
General manager has to take responsibility!
We need the boss back!
I wouldn’t hold your breath
Cashman always seems to get the second guy, the guy everyone wasn't expecting, never makes the obvious move
IKF is a nice little player but taking on a $21, 25 million contract (whatever it is) to acquire a nice little slap hitting (should be) utility guy doesn’t make much sense. Nor is it great to get saddled with a bad contract for the sake of getting rid of a catcher who couldn’t catch (Gary Sanchez). To accomplish the same thing, they should have signed Jose Iglesias to a one or two year contract, non-tendered Gary Sanchez and kept Gio Urshela for third base. The Yankees seem to have this thing about being unable to admit their mistakes in acquiring players. They kept running Andrew Heaney out there last season when it was clear he was a Little League pitching machine, they kept running Joey Gallo when it was clear he couldn’t handle New York and Josh Donaldson can catch the ball but that’s about it. There’s something to be said about showing confidence in a veteran who has done it elsewhere, giving him some rope but at some point, you just gotta acknowledge that it’s not working and move on.
Let me spell who is to be blamed. CASHMAN AND YANKEES OWNER.
Cashman put all this together, it's all on him, even when the team was going good it was mainly the pitching being great, you knew deep down this team the team would struggle in the playoffs offensively , Donaldson about finished, but so is Rizzo, a .220 #3 hitter is a joke, why you think Judge gets no pitches to hit anymore?
@@snerdterguson I not disagreeing with all your points, however in my opinion the Yankee organization needs a change in philosophy, we lose Stanton nearly every year, so no different, he does help, but we cannot hit with runners in scoring position as a team, and teams lose 1 inning pitchers all the time, this team was just poorly constructed, 250 million dollars for this? Imagine Cashman working on the Pirates or Rays budget! He signed lots of old players past their prime, very average young players like IKF and Gleyber, Cashman never seems to focus on one of the most important positions for the pitching staff (catcher) sure Trevino has been good, but not great, Montgomery the other day said how much pitching to Molina helped him, a homerun or bust team is not gonna get it done against the best of the best when it matters most, I'm shocked Cashman cant remember what made the 90's team so special, you need a solid core, then build around it, the only core now is Judge and a declining DJ, also Cashman now treats this like a video game where you just pick random players you like, chemistry is super important for a team, and this team has none, I do blame Boone for that part a little as well and Judge, during this rough month he's been absolutely terrible and the team seems defeated
@@snerdterguson ok your obviously right about EVERYTHING, what difference does it make HOW Cashman got Gleyber? There were other possible trades at that time for Chapman, Gleyber is lazy and is average at best, lazy players are bad for team chemistry, i think Cashman knows this deep down, which is why he was including him in trade packages, Joey Gallo stunk for this team .151!!! the team was winning in spite of him, the pitching was great for 2 solid months, that's why they were so hot, and as far as Trevino, yes he's good, he's a big improvement over Sanchez and Higgy, but who should I believe YOU or a actual major league pitcher Jordan Montgomery? Who said how great it was pitching to Molina, not everything can be measured with WAR OPS XYZ etc... I've actually watched the games, Trevino has made mistakes behind the plate, he's no Molina at all, not close! And nobody isn't saying King wasn't great, but jesus Christ! Know your saying he's Rivera plus more!?! If a team with a 250 million dollar payroll cant survive the lose of a bullpen arm then that should show you the GM didn't do a good job, you act like no other team ever has a injury, this team is poorly constructed, Rizzo, Donaldson are past their primes, Hicks is a below average player at this point, Gleyber is a average at best player, IKF is a good utility player, Stanton is a walking injury and this was know before the Yankees got him, Carpenter was a washed up player who Cashman won the lottery on, Cashman's only good thing in recent years seems to be building up a better farm system, there's a damn lot of people who agree with the things I'm pointing out, but if think Cashman has done good the last 20 years with 200 million plus EVERY year then that fine, no need to argue anymore
Yanks should have acknowledged and acted accordingly to the fact that Cole and Chapman cannot pitch without Spider-Tak.
The Yankees always end up buying the used car at a new car price. We get fleeced year after year with a bunch of players out of their prime. Why do you think other teams seem to give up these players so easily? It’s because they know the players are dead weight and probably have a good year at best left in them. Ironically, I think the best trade the Yankees made as of recent was the Effross trade. He’s young, and we get him for 5 more years. Sometimes the best moves are the most obvious ones. The Yankees refuse to open up the farm system wallet and get players that’ll help us win a World Series right now. The Yankees aspire to win a World Series, but have a business philosophy like we’re in the middle of a rebuild. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too. It just can’t be done. If you’re serious about winning the Series, then you’re gonna have to come close to draining the farm. If you wanna hoard prospects, then just give up on the World Series, tank for draft picks, and commit to a rebuild.
Couldn't have said it better ! I totally agree with you ! Accurate analysis.
I totally agree with your comments
A lot to read buuuuuuut man you hit the nail on the head! Well said bud!
@@snerdterguson i think the issue with holding onto these guys is they take way too long to call them up and they faze out before they finally get a chance , teams are getting younger and they have 25 year olds in AAA
@@snerdterguson I’m not disagreeing with your take. You’re 100% correct that there will be mad whichever way the Yankees went, but you have to tune them out for the greater good. I had my heart set on Castillo, and when we didn’t get him I was furious. Yeah, the Reds wanted Volpe, but that’s the price you pay for an elite pitcher. It’s not like we didn’t have SS depth in the minors. Instead we had to cough up Waldichuk and Sears for Montas and look what we got. I know it’s a small sample, and the whole team is doing bad, so it’s not helping him when the offense isn’t scoring, but like c’mon man. It’s like the Yankees are afraid to go all in on players. It’s either you’re in or you’re out. You can’t go half in, half out. To be fair to Cashman a little bit, I think he was really trying to get Pablo Lopez right before the deadline, but the Marlins screwed us. I don’t know why we didn’t just go after Rodón. He’s a lefty, and he had better numbers than Monte. That would have actually be a 1 for 1 upgrade.
Hal should sell the team, period.
Cashman won't give Judge a long term deal but apparently Hal Steinbrenner has given Cashman a lifetime contract. God this painful to watch day after day.
I agree Derek.
Whoever built the team is to blame.
The Monty for Bader trade was absolutely ridiculous. Last night Monty pitched 9 innings with 1 hit in return for a guy who we haven’t even seen yet. Bader will take center field then we will have Judge and Benny for the outfield. Cabrera will most likely take Marwins job. In the near future we will have a surplus of infield talent on the roster and in triple A. The construction of this team is so baffling
They should have trade for Soto a young superstar he could have level up the lineup prospects are prospects
I agree that the Montgomery trade was a major head scratcher but I disagree with your point about Bader essentially being Locastro. Bader is way better than Locastro.
Cashman should have been fire 3 season ago
Agreed it's way overdue. And after watching the captain. I think jeter hit on something with cashman , he thinks his shit dont stink and George's vision is no longer at the forefront. It's all about money and money not being spent wisely
@@mikeprince2036 I already knew this season would end up like this. The line up is trash
Stanton was a panic move for not getting Ohtani! This team has been jeckle and Hyde more than any other I remember! Not getting Castillo was huge disappointment! This team needs to get going soon!
The BATS went Ghost
Simple as fukk 🆘🆘
I wish they could just wake up it’s so disheartening. The players must feel so terrible
As terrible as anybody would I guess if they were getting between $1 and $3,000,000 a month in guaranteed income.
Agreed 110% this is not on Boone. This is a inept scouting/ developmental dept, GM that has been around too long w limited results. Steinbrenner- we don’t even see the guy. Does he even care ?
More like running the lowlights. “The fish stinks from the head”. I know Aaron Boone isn’t the one batting, pitching or running the bases but if you’re going to send a signal, firing the manager sends that signal.
I honestly believe the Yankees organization want to finish above .500 every year and make it to the playoffs. They don't care about winning championships they care about making money the last time they went for it was 2009 when they signed Mark Teixeira, AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia. They also acquired Nick Swisher that year I believe and that team won it all.
I blame Joey Gallo. I know he's a Los Angeles Dodger now but still , I blame Joey Gallo.
I agree with you about player development. Florial has been a major disappointment to say the least. There are others too. For example look at Jorge Mateo. Lots of potential as a farm hand but got tossed around several teams and now has matured into a good starting SS for the Orioles. I wish we have him playing SS. We need his energy and speed. And one of our all-time favorite farmhands Rob Refsynder is having some impact with the Sox. So, what are the Yankees doing wrong with developing prospects?
Why do we always have to blame somebody?
Why can't we just focus on solutions?
You think the people that are screwing up don't know that they're screwing up?
Unless you think the geniuses from MIT that are in charge of the analytical department think they're not wrong.
That I can agree with
It is what it is. You have a healthy team and the Yankee army was breaking ground big time. Suddenly, you lose some important assets and you replace them but don't get the same results. How do you replace Stanton, Carpenter, Severino, King, Green ? Some others also went on the DL as well for shorter periods.
Blame it on the scouts who recommend to draft a given player that does not pan out as expected. Blame it on the player development in the minors that don't prepare the prospect for the major league if we want.
We can blame part of it to Boone and his staff as well but we can also give credit to the opposition that comes to play against you. Possibly the best thing to happen now rather than later on in September when it will get really tight in the standings.
Give Cashman credit not to have given up Volpe, Perazza or Dominguez for short term needs. Clark Schmidt will be back up soon as well. They will soon be regulars in the lineup. No GM is immune to making mistakes so just be thankful we are still up 8 games on August 22 2022. All teams will have challenges moving forward.
Stay positive folks! The BEST is yet to come! Go Yankees!
Having been to the Yankees game 2 weeks ago for the first time in my life (I am European), I enjoyed the home game vs the Mariners very much! Packed Yankees stadium, cheering, great atmosphere and you've got yourself a new Yankees fan 4 life! I am hooked, and have been watching every game in August...hope we turn the tide...let's go Yankees!🇺🇲🏟️⚾
@@CROMA1927 Good for you! I have never been to Yankee stadium but do plan to go one day. The atmosphere for the opposing players they say is intimidating as the noise level gets pretty dreadful at times for concentration. Baseball is basically a game where you need to do the little things well on a consistent basis to win games. The beauty of this game is that there is no time limits involved compared to soccer whereupon time can be wasted from players faking injuries that happen so often.
Definitely fun to watch when the team wins but they will come around and get their momentum back.All teams go through ups and downs but the key is to stay healthy and not have long term casualties which make things harder to accomplish. Big series versus the Mets! Let'S GOOOO!
Collectively, Cashman screwed up chemistry by trading Monty and Sears and waited too long to get rid of Gallo....Bad coaching calls of putting in Holmes when he is shown to be struggling.....and the inconsistencies of the offense....
2 of 9 in the line up are batting over 240 that says it all . Watch what winners are doing . working on good pitching and working with the farm teams . the astros have a good system .
We'll be fine.. every team even though I've Neva seen my team. Struggle like this.. WE WILL SNAP OUT OF THIS BY THE NED OF THIS MONTH.. EVERYONES USE TO US WINNING ALL THE TIME . JUST WATCH. I GOT FAITH. ITS CALLED A SLUMP RELAX
That's why I say they should leave Judge go, he's 30 years old and with all the old players we got making a ton of money we will never have a young team with players that can put the ball in play.
Money is on DeGrom no-hitting them. They can barely muster 5 hits off of the average pitcher. DeGrom ain't no normal pitcher. I bet they don't touch him.
If the Yankees were having a such a great season prior to the changes before the deadline why disrupted such a great chemistry of players that they had ? To me beyond numbers they had a bond carrying for one another, personalities and know there trying to rediscover again. Everyone else is succeeding Galo and Montgomery. Awful move by Cashman. Again we’re they got hurt is in there chemistry. None what’s so ever now.
Castillo to me was the move thst had to be made if you were going to let go of our three best pitching prospects. I’m not going to compare montaz to sonny grey. But we had a chance to get a dominating number one pitcher in Castillo. Whom I think is better than Cole. And I will pan up to that. I don’t care if Cole wins 20 games…he seems to choke when it matters the most. The other moves well what else can you say lol
I agree, this isn't Boone's fault. Injuries and bad trades before the deadline are the major culprit for disrupting the clubhouse energy. Some players obviously need to be cut/DFA'd, and I should hope that Cashman has been put on notice by Steinbrenner. Hopefully they can turn things around soon, but I still don't see this team winning a WS this year.
Hal and Cash traded for Stanton for one reason-to absolve themselves of having to sign Machado or Harper. Stanton's $25 million/year would still be cheaper than having to pay Harper or Machado more than $30 million. That is why I am expecting Judge to walk. Some team will give him the really big money. After signing Cole to a big contract, the front office has done nothing except shop in the bargain basement for players; guys who had been perpetually injured trying to make comebacks. I admit they got lucky with Nestor; he's been exceptional. Yet, Kluber spent most his year on the IL, and Sevy continues to break down. Taillon's overall numbers are okay, but he has been bad in the second half. Despite what Montgomerey is doing now in St. Louis, while he was here, he could never hold a lead. However, trading a solid pitcher for an injured player seems par for the course now. I wish Hal would sell the team. He could make billions and enjoy retirement with his family. A complete purge of the organization is needed, and the Steinbrenner era need to come to an end.
Love your analysis and i think the same way. Yankees need to follow the model of teams like the dodgers and braves. They both won world series titles recently.
Monty got no run support.
@@ctcards2636 Even when he had leads in games, he gave it all back
Hal and Brian are to blame and the whole team
IMHO at the end of the day the PLAYERS need to put the bat on the ball, the glove on the ball and pitch better!
You're right it's top down fault. Steinbrenner and Cashman bear the brunt of blame. The organizational direction these past 2 decades more specifically the past decade plus. The way they're run, the way they're built they'll almost always be a playoff team but they'll never get to a ws much less win one with this philosophy. That's been abundantly clear since 2009. Cashman has the gm for well I er 2 decades. Set aside the titles won with teams someone else built, he's only personally responsible for 1 title the last 21 seasons. Enough is enough, he's got to go.
Derek, who do you think the odd man out is when Stanton returns? The only highlight at this point to being a Yankees fan is when you upload. We need the Cashman era to end soon.
Florial
Thank you Derek for the consistent content it's been the best and there's really nothing else to say that's already been said..but I think we need to take it easy on Flo, him and ozzy doing there thing but oz hasn't gotten a single run or rbi while Flo has and they both make great defensive plays they just need more time but Flo is showing us something here
Derek . All long time Yankee fan are suffering. However, I don't think we critically analyze wins. Scoring runs can overlook deficiences, especially pitching performances. For me the failure of our relief pitching to protect a six run lead against Toronto before the AllStar break was a foreshadow of things to come. For me Aaron Hicks poor performance was evident from day one. I can't help it but I still think there might be a medical problem . Can the Yankees require complete physical including eye exams.
This is not good with what's goin on with the Yankees right now 🤦🏾♂️
We lost King sevy G Rizzo DJ. We will be ok! Stay positive 😎🫡
Forgot to mention Carp
#1 - Cashman
#2 - Hal
I don't believe Boone is a good manager, but he has little to nothing to do with this epic collapse. He was also the manager in the first half, when the team was playing well beyond anyone's expectations.
Cashman is just not a good GM. He took over in '98, after all the main pieces were already in place that led to all the championships. And 2009 came from simply buying the top pitchers and hitter. He's been the GM for *24 years.* It's clearly not working. Let him go, or continue to watch the same story play out over and over.
And as others have said, this is only a business to Hal, not a passion.
For decades, now, I have loathed the whole "homerun or bust" philosophy. It's just not a way to have a great offense *on a consistent basis* (leads to a lot of streaky hitting) - and certainly not in the playoffs, when you're facing the best pitchers.
I'll be skipping today's game entirely. The first of 3 games against pitchers who would dominate them even if they WERE hitting - nope, I need to take a mental health day off from the team.
I don’t get why people blame Boone. He’s not the one striking out, not hitting when men are on base, and getting rocked on the mound . It’s CASHMAN that got the guys doing the above examples .
Uh...how about the relievers?
Aroldis and Holmes should take alot of the blame.
Tough to play when you know the lead may go away in the 9th.
This is no longer a problem because the Yankees never lead in the 9th. They rarely even score anymore.
From top to bottom the whole damn team are at fault from clueless Hal to Brian cashman who doesn't know how to select starting pitching also the lack of contact hitting on this team and holding on to prospects way too long cashmans needs to go Boone is a puppet to the organization so not much he can do with the trash that cashman gave him until cashman is gone and Hal wakes up this team is going to be a failure for the forsealable future cashman needs to go now
Hal may own a baseball team but he is not a baseball man. This falls on Cashman he is the guy that put it all together. You can’t fire Hal so cashman has to go. And Boone has lost the team he can’t motivate the players any longer. We should just start over New GM and manager what could happen we lose. It’s all really happening!!
Boone has the demeanor of a camp counselor and he isn't a good manager by any means but he's probably fourth on the blame ladder.
I place much of the blame on the players but even more of it on Cashman and the front office for the construction of this team and for Hal seemingly being OK with all of this.
The Yankees should not be just another team, they should act like and be the best baseball team on the planet. They should not be overestimating their own prospects and then hanging onto them until they have no trade value. They should not be acquiring older, broken-down, expensive players who are on the 18th holes of their careers.
But most of all, they need to do better - much better - at identifying talent, developing it and coaching it up at their respective levels. We seem to have too many folks in the organization who are just happy with competing for a playoff spot instead of winning the whole effing thing.
Wow. Every since the Astros came to town before the all star break and took 2 of 4, (which the only 2 games yanks won were in late game rally fashion) the team hasn’t been the same. Crazy how the wheels have just fallen completely off.
The Yankees have become the Dallas cowboys. An overhype shit show with a terrible owner. The only difference is us, as Yankees fans aren't delusional. We see the writing in the wall and want change, we're just stuck until the team is sold.
THE BRONX CHOCKERS THATS THE NAME THIS TEAM SHOULD HAVE.THE NEW YORK YANKEES DON'T EXIST ANYMORE.
No crying in baseball Yankee fans, you guys wanted Joey Gallo out when the team was winning with him and now it’s panic time.
No one wants Joey back, he’s dogshit
Question for Yankees' fans... would you guys rather have Justin Verlander over Gerrit Cole? I mean they are both very close in terms of pitching skills & talent wise. Despite a higher price tag, Gerrit Cole is still much younger than Verlander and can pitch for you many more years compared to Verlander.
Right now I would rather have Verlander but I have a feeling this will be Verlander's last really good year because you're right age is a factor but let's see.
Hello, is it possible that you make a video comparing 2009 team and the current team we have right now.
I’m wondering way people take a upper cut swing but hit less Homer when you look into 2009 states.
The Yankees are no different from last year. They played way above their heads in the first 100 games, but this team is no different than last year. They struck lightning in a bottle with Carpenter, who is out. Stanton is no surprise to get hurt ad he is out. Do not forget that these are the "Dog Days of August." A lot of hitters fall off and get spent and it was brutally hot at the beginning of the month. The hitters are either gone or wore out. It is NY, so all of this gets amplified. In short, the Yankees are who we thought they were.
From an outsiders perspective the bad times began for the Yankees when they headed to St. Louis for a three game set. That was a miserable series for the Yankees
I don't get why some of the fans don't want to blame Boone. He gets the credit when they win and has to take major heat when they lose. Especially when they are in a free fall. Boone is the one not bunting, not putting runners in motion, not stealing and allowing all his players to swing for the fences when they just need to learn situational hitting. When a team is slumping that is when a manager needs to shake things up and think outside the box to manufacture runs. He is also the "manager" who keeps putting Albert Abreau in high leverage situations when he can't get anyone out. He can bang his hand on a table all he wants. That is just theatrics and it means nothing. He keeps saying they have to play better. Thank you Captain Obvious but we all know that already. smh
To me it seems like he's acting. That hand slam on the desk from the post game conference yesterday didn't even seem believable to me. It almost looked like he was acting or something. But I'm sure he knows he's on thin ice and his job is on the line but maybe he actually doesn't care anymore.
@@cassandrawestgate5775 Exactly right !! Thank you for saying that. The slamming his hand on the table was done to show the media some fire and emotion because he really has no answers. But I don't think he is on thin ice at all. I think Cashman loves the guy.
@@thelawofdivineoneness458 Sadly as long as Boone is the manager I just can't possibly see the Yankees winning ring number 28. I mean really what has he even done worthy in his career besides hitting that one walk of home run in the playoffs against Tim Wakefield back in 2003? Nothing! I'm sure he's a good person in real life but he's not a good manager. Plain and simple.
@@cassandrawestgate5775 I agree. I have nothing against Boone personally. In fact, he comes on WFAN radio once a week and he's got a great personality. The probem is that he a player's manager and he coddles them and strategically he doesn't make great decisions. I am watching the game right now and he finally put the base runner in motion which prevented a double play and led to an error that allowed Rizzo to score. It's about time....
Win today for Paulie!
Hal, Cashman and Boone.... All 🤡
Cashman gotta go. Hal needs to sell!
This just does scares knowing the Astros once again have home field advantage and only lose again to them.. a year in which all was great and now all negative .
Blue Jay's will beat the astros in the playoffs. They're built for it and the astros have a so so bullpen
@@mikeprince2036 …Just because Blue Jays can beat the Yankees doesn’t mean Jays can beat the Astros. These days anyone can beat the Yankees.
Cashman,Hal and the analitycs team or i miss and the entire organizacition for not give opportunity to the young talent and give the opportunity to a new general manager(Derek Jeter)
When it comes down to it, the players are just not performing. We know from their histories that they are capable just not getting it done.
There’s blame to go around! At the end of the day the players have to perform. My biggest disappointment is cole. He’s making ace money but he hasn’t even remotely looked like an ace since they took his spider tac smh
It’s the players that aren’t producing hits they lost their touch yes sad and Judge was getting hurt every other year and this year because his contract is coming up he wants to produce and make that big money 💰 I won’t give it to him that’s my opinion because once he makes that money he’s gonna be hurt and hurt sorry
Players who wait for someone else to step up are the same guys who always strike out with the bases juiced and needing contact not a homer but just do what you can realistically not looking for the highlight reels is killing this team. Play in the first 5 innings like they are the 9th innings.
I think trading for Stanton because he would be a cheaper option than paying Harper or Machado was the first mistake cashman Machado an elite 3B who can hit ,defend ,Harper an elite lefty hitter with power instead of a great player when he’s healthy but spend more time in the IL than on the field
Long Covid?
What the Yanks should have done was determine if they are ALL in this year and maybe next or not. If not then we need to maybe retool and if they are ALL in then what they needed to do was besides the Twins trade was to focus first on dominating pitching. They could have signed Verlander and Scherzer and trade for Hader. That way they could retain prospects and be heavy favorites for the World Series.
In the end... pitching has been the top issue since CC Sabathia's departure.. The NY stage is too bright for Cole.
When Stanton comes back we'll see if the Yankees can make a strong playoff run. If not Boone and Cashman need to remove themselves from this equation 🤔
john starling is to blame with the yankees win oh the yankeeswin
Congratulations on having the worst take in the history of the channel.
In the 1st half of the yankees season 62 percent of the yankees runs were by homeruns resulting in 460 RBIs. In the 2nd half less than 46 percent of there runs have come by homeruns resulting in 146 RBIs. Teams have learned to pitch low in the strike zone to induce ground outs and strike outs. There offense is way down. Add that to the yankees pitching woes and you get a big slump. But the yankees are still the 2nd best team in the AL. They need to figure things out or the Astros, Bluejays, Mets and Dodgers will bounce them out of the playoffs. Bluejays are only 7 games back of the NY Yankees. That said i hope Judge hits 61+ homeruns. All Rise!
Do you think now it's a nail in the coffin in the season? Out of all my years of watching Yankees baseball I never seen this happen I'm really worried about the mental state of the players. Everyone is pressing and looks completely lost.
seasons not done, we are still only in august. they have enough time to get hot and get their lineup and pitching healthy and make a push for a title. call me stupid, but im optimistic and i believe that team from the first half is still in there.
I can not stand the current Yankee brand of baseball. Exit velocity, launch angle, bat speed, and all or nothing home run offense. Couple that with a pitching staff that has to be 97mph+ with zero command. I can not even watch games any more. I even flip off sport center when their highlights come up.
Cashman
After seeing Starling Marte play last year I said that’s our guy . The Mets got him I think 4 years 77 million. That nothing for him. IMO it’s not Boone or Cashman . No one had a problem 2 months ago. They are just not playing as a team and with very little heart . Yes injuries. But you can sign the best player ever and sometimes they just don’t preform. Everyone is complaining about Cole but could you imagine the backlash if we didn’t sign him . They just don’t seem motivated .
Isn’t it Boone’s job to motivate them though?
I’m really amazed that fans don’t think helping players play better is part of the manager’s responsibilities.
I think its just a really really bad stretch, usually you dont see from this team, end of day they will still make playoffs and will see what happens from there, Im not a Yankees fan.
I love the Yankees I do but like I said a year ago there needs to be a reckoning from top to bottom, boone was never the guy and Cashman has extended his welcome . time for a change total restoration 100% . Or this will be the early 90s all over again.
Love by the HR and die by it, too. This team seems to have fallen back into the troubled mindset of “we’re struggling, so we need to try and hit more HRs” and that’s going to continue to prove disastrous. I’m not so upset at Boone like I was last year when he made some real shit on field decisions. (Field of Dreams game taking out Holmes when he was absolutely locked in.) I think what this team-organization-needs is some more old school mindsets making decisions. Analytics are great, and they’re what the sport is nowadays. But having the Torre/Zimmer combo on the bench reading the game and their players GAME-TO-GAME is imo invaluable. And let’s be honest, the “batting average doesn’t matter as much as it once did” mentality is bullshit. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting .230and have a fuckin hard hit % in the 90 percentile if you’re hitting the ball right at players every time. High BA=more times hit safely and that’s what this team needs. Screw the league leaders in home runs: get the f on base and employ small ball tactics to keep pressure on the opposing defense.
As much as I would like to blame Aaron Boone for a lot of this I can’t. Players still have to field they still have to hit they still have to pitch in they still have to play the game. They rely too much on the home run and not the average common hit or a double. You cannot take the players by hand and go out there and hit the ball for them. They are called professional ball players and his team act like they don’t care. Even run the bases I don’t see him putting a lot of effort when they go from home plate the first that faster.

Last year I said this team is “old,slow and non-athletic”and they really did nothing to address any of those issues, so I blame Cashman more than anyone
