OT: 2018 New York Yankees season
- Thread starter c10j10s
- Start date
DL stint for Chapman......knee,
Britton will close.
Didi back soon. Sanchez too. And soon enough Judge.
They haven’t had a losing streak all season. I’d like to see them play .500 for another month or so, then tank around September 15th.
I know it’s a HR first league now, but I’d rather be hitting at least .260 with 10 hr’s, than .210 with 19. I looks like he tries to pull everything.
Better knee than arm. Having a bullpen pitcher go down is the easiest thing for the Yanks to deal with.
Per MLB.com:
The traditional Opening Day is scheduled for March 28, continuing the new scheduling format that begins the season with an additional week to allow each club three or four more off days throughout the year.
I would say teams and the Yankees in particular completely lost those 3-4 extra off days throughout the year because of early season rainouts
I would think rainouts are goodfor business? Bonus money for parking and vendors
Owners will not give up the revenue for reduced number of games. Same reason double headers have evolved to day/night so they can charge twice. Growing up my father took me primarily to double headers because it was 2 games for price of 1.
Im all for going back to 154 games. Not a fan of expanding the wildcard. Win your division or face the elimination game.
No. No.
He doesn't hit or pitch. He manages.
That means he makes out the lineup....which I don't think he's done very well.
And he decides when to replace a pitcher and who to replace him with. He's awful at that.
I was never a big fan of Girardi, but I gotta admit I'm missing him.
They have half of an all star team on the DL. Not many good options. Not saying Boone is a great manager, just pointing out choices are limited and it's tough to judge right now.
Here's the link to the NY Post. I didn't link the NJ.com article even though it had more details. Only about 20+ regular season games and 10 spring training games.

I saw an interview with Ken, he was able to get the home games in Baltimore and I think he said Tampa,
because he has a home in each place, and wants to be near his kids and grand kids. Will he root for Baltimore and Tampa or
the Yankees? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Yes he is, one of my favorites. However when he played, I hated anything Baltimore, because The Yankees were terrible
and Baltimore had become great. Do you remember the million dollar infield, can you name the players, I'll start you off,
3rd base Brooks Robinson......
1st Boog Powell, who today is more well know among Orioles fans for his BBQ out in center field.
2nd Bobby Grich, my first baseball mitt. I think it was the best selling baseball mitt of that era.
SS. Mark Belanger. So over rated.
This team pisses me off that they do no not sacrifice the runners over...Monday night down 2 runs with runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 out in the 7th inning, 3rd string catcher Kyle Higashioka batting 7th is swinging 3-1 pops up to the catcher, next batter hits into a double play.
Tonight, down 2 runs in the 3rd inning, a leadoff double by Bird, next batter backup catcher Austin Romine batting 8th strikes out on a pitch in the dirt. Next batter flies out to deep right, next batter grounds out....
We r talking about backup below average hitters not moving the runners into scoring position, its mind boggling
