OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Perhaps he should have taken some rehab appearances in the minors on his way back from the injury.
Might be time to stick him back in the lineup maybe he gets on a roll. Rice isn’t doing much better
Regarding Stanton, I'd be more surprised if he could score from 2nd base on a triple.
I don’t like Stanton but…look at what the team did when out of the lineup- he is back and winning again
He hasn't really made a contribution since he's been back.
Watching him run the bases reminds me why I decided it was time to retire from playing softball.
Yeah- he has been pretty bad. The uptick is more about Volpe getting hot and DJ getting some big hits- outside of the normal Judge and Soto great seasons continuing
The positive about Stanton is that his mere presence in the lineup lengthens it and give some minor protection to the better hitters ahead of him. We're kind of stuck with him for a while still.
IMO it's more about Volpe AND Verdugo...and Wells staying hot.
And maybe the return of the Martian.
Can't help but think what this team would be like with LeMahieu, Rizzo, and Torres playing to the back of their baseball cards.
The rational side of me tries to remember this when I start yelling about Cashman and team construction. However, that loses out and I just get pissed off and start screaming like a crazy fan instead.
Not sure tonight’s game needed to be postponed; they probably could have got it in.
And now another doubleheader tomorrow, one game of which we’ll probably concede.

Agreed.
That strategy against the Angels seemed like they could just throw some rookie and "outbash" them.
Failed miserably.
Against Texas, that definitely won't work.
It's like coaching 9U baseball, I guess you gotta remind players every play?
And Volpe needs benched...something like 2 for 29?
Another stellar effort from the bullpen.
BTW: That's sarcasm.

Looks like it. But Cashman doesn't need a "swing and miss" closer cause we have the league leader in blown saves.
Bullpen is so overworked that the rest of the season will look like today.
He has a horrible release point on all his pitches, the fact he can’t waste a slider 0-2 without throwing it 3 feet short is a huge problem.
Guarantee 3rd base coaches tell their base runners this guy is gonna throw wild pitch, get a good jump.
Another year in purgatory. Making the playoffs, but with no hope of winning.
Top of the order, 1st and 2nd, no one out...Verdugo with a 7th grade attempt to bunt.
7 walks, 4 hits...one run in 4 innings.
The frickin CWS.
Pathetic. And a bullpen that looks the washed up beer league. There isn't a single guy you could trust in a playoff game.
Not one! De Los Santos will be in Scranton tomorrow.

This is an embarrassing performance against the worst team in baseball.
