OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Gonna go shopping for a closer, 1B and another infielder by the trade deadline, hopefully!
It looks like the Yanks dodged a bullet with the Judge HBP.
The season almost came crashing down. He said he hopes to be in the lineup Wednesday.
Cortes delivered tonight.
Now on to Cole Wednesday.

If this wasn’t Cole’s first start back from rehab, I might expect a little payback.
You know damn well what would be happening if CC Sabathia was still a Yankee.
Clay Holmes...LOL.
Still fvcking dogshit.
Closers that can't get crucial strike outs when needed aren't good closers.
Cashman better find a REAL closer at the deadline and put Holmes where he belongs as a setup guy.

So it looks like we need a closer and some other bullpen help, a second baseman, a catcher, a first baseman, and a third baseman. All of these for a team that has the best record in MLB.
Need to start getting our $hit together against the AL East teams.
Torres injured.
Hopefully an opportunity for Jorbit Vivas or Caleb Durbin being called up.
I was on Cot's contracts yesterday and looking at the Yankee payroll for the next few years. If a couple of young kids like Rice, Vivas or any other infield prospect can stick around in the majors, we'll be in pretty good shape going forward.
Rizzo, Torres - Gone after this season
DJ - Gone after 2026
Stanton - Gone after 2027
We've been complaining about Stanton for so long, it's hard to believe that we're actually getting close to the end of his contract!
Honestly, we already rely a lot on young talent that is under club control and let the stars do their thing. Hopefully we can hit on a few more.

Would be neat to see some young talent emerge. That said I never want to see someone get hurt - hopefully it’s nothing serious. I still pull for him even though he drives me crazy haha.
For Durbin, I've actually seen comparisons made to Dustin Pedroia.
He is the same size, is an excellent contact hitter, and plays the game the way DP once did.
Speaking of "paybacks" - I got a funny Yogi story in my FB feed. Some here heard this already but new to me.
**The Unpredictable Legend: Jimmy Piersall**
Baseball is a game of legends, but few were as unpredictable and fascinating as Jimmy Piersall. Picture this: it's a sweltering day at Yankee Stadium, and Piersall steps up to bat against the formidable Whitey Ford. Just a couple of innings earlier, Ford had plunked a batter, stirring the pot of tension.
Piersall, never one to shy away from theatrics, leans into the ear of catcher Yogi Berra and mutters, "If that S.O.B. hits me, I’m going to take this bat and beat him to death. They think I’m crazy."
Yogi, known for his quick wit, coolly replies, "We don’t hit .220 hitters."
I guess Piersall was well known bi-polar
Mickey Mantle's Reaction to the Attack on Jimmy Piersall at Yankee Stadium
It was one of the most riotous days in the history of Yankee Stadium. Jimmy Piersall and Mickey Mantle never forgot what happened. The New York Yankees were hosting the Cleveland Indians for a doubleheader on Sept...

And I'd like to thank Apple for blacking out the game, allowing me to avoid all of the cursing and unpleasantness that would normally accompany me watching such crap.
I was shocked he made second on his double yesterday. Not that it was ever a close play. Just shocked he ran two bases.
