OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
hopefully, get to weather the storm and hope the O's don't get hot. Can't think the Yankees will continue this poorly. Besides no hitting outside of the big two- the pitching has almost a 6 era over the past month. And as you said- it is still only 2 games.
He may not have been great as his best years but not sure what he is going back to. But, not sure what he has left
He has two more years on his contract.
I see nothing to indicate that he's about to turn a corner and become a much-needed productive part of this lineup.
He may be done.
And yet tonight he batted leadoff. Bizarre.

I think he's done as well. However, you can't not give him his props as he had way more than 1 good season in his career. He's hit .300 5 different seasons and has a .291 lifetime hitting average. Pretty good.
Agree he was a great player. An All Star 2x batting champion, one with the Yankees. Great defensive player. I don't remember anyone complaining when he resigned with the Yankees but injuries and age have caught up with him. He was a great teammate anywhere he's been. However, he is a shell of what he used to be. The Yankees didn't help trying to make him a home run hitter, that started his first downfall and it's been hard to watch the last few years.

If Gil is back...and it looked today like he is...the future looks pretty bright for the Yankees.
I don't now.
I know they talked about upgrading the offense. I guess Soto was it.
One of a 100 services that provide content for a price of course. Roku outbid Amazon Prime that was used last few years. Add to the madness the game starts at 11:35am!
Roku Channel is showing it for free. Looks like it is available on the various streaming devices (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Chromecast etc). Nice to get a break from Kay
They have near a 300 million dollar payroll. What else can they do? They have multiple bad contracts and are going to try to add a 500 million dollar Soto contract at the end of the season. They better hit on some of their young prospects and give them a chance, otherwise this team will be very similar for a long, long time.
Stop! Don't blame the pitching on this game. The defense literally gave it away. You're up by a run and the left fielder is playing in??
He struck out their best hitter (Gunner Henderson) for the second out and then an easy ground ball to Volpe botched and god knows what Verdugo was doing. I don’t love Holmes as a closer, but today wasn’t on him.
Not sure why they called this guy up if they weren't gonna let him play.
He's been sent back down.
Not every player needs to be struck out. If the defense player average Yanks win the game. You are a one minded skipping record. We get it, you want perfect closers who strike out the side on 9 pitches.

A few years back Brett Gardner went at least the first half of the season with a pathetic bat, but turned things around in the second half. Perhaps they're hoping for a similar re-awakening from DJ. A shame they couldn't regain any of the games they lost in the first half because of his putrid production with the bat.
BTW, DJ has two more years left on his contract.

Soooooooo glad this puerile little jerk off was traded off the Red Sox.
BTW, he is an above average outfielder. He played RF very well for the Red Sox.
If DJ was great last year this would be the hope. He hasn't been good or healthy for a few years now.
Somehow I'm not believing Bosux fans don't like Verdugo because he's "puerile".
I think the only reason DJ hasn’t been released is his versatility in playing anywhere on the IF. But yeah, certainly his bat has been AWOL since 2022.
Actually, I think it's the two more years left on his contract and their thought that they have no better options.
Which is dumb, because Peraza can hit ,190 just as well as DJ.
