OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Bullpen might be getting a workout today.
Jesus, this kid sux.
High school kids don't even balk 3X in a season, much less in the same game.
Buy that guy a bus tix back to AAA.
50 pitches to get through 2 innings. I'm hoping they're just pitching him so he can be trade bait down the road.
I hate these "throw away" games where you pitch guys that shouldn't be on any roster.
With Schmidt on IL and Gil probably on an innings limit for the season, Cashman passing on Flaherty at the deadline was puzzling. Dodgers certainly weren't concerned with the injury potential.

The fact that Will Warren seems to be the Yankees second best pitching prospect in the minors tells you all you need to know about their talent at AAA and AA. Chase Hampton is their #1 minor league pitching prospect, but he just went on the injured list shortly after just coming off of the IL. Perhaps this is a result of all of the pitching prospects they've traded away in the last year or so. Perhaps it's just bad scouting. Or bad luck.
Not good.
Not good.
Dominguez should be playing left field.
Wells should be catching most games.

We gotta count on Marcus Stroman just to win the series today.
It seems relief pitchers get recycled on a regular basis.
I don't think picking up Leiter at the deadline was any help either.
He shouldn't be playing everyday just to get the record. He was spent after '22 playing in 157 games. He had nothing left in the playoffs!
Judge through 131 team games:
2024: 51 HR, .333/.465/.736
2022: 51 HR, .296/.399/.664

Stroman was lucky today. I was at game and there were more than a cple hard hit balls right at guys. Was falling behind a lot, no putaway pitch.
On track for one of the greatest seasons in MLB history.
And that is with a .197 avg. for the entire first month of the season and only a handful of home runs............had he had just an average first month, he would be batting north of 350, have close to 60 homers and close to 140 RBI's right now!!!!!!!!!!!............stunning.
Stunning is a good word for it.
I'm stunned by what he's doing. The batting average is incredible. The number of walks is as well.
I keep hearing how much tougher it is for today's hitters. Then I watch him hit a couple of home runs and I'm even more stunned.
He sure makes Yankees games interesting.
When healthy, Judge has proven himself to be arguably the best player in baseball. At least in terms of offense, these are numbers that we haven't seen but in a handful of players.
The interesting thing that we'll see play out is the level of pressure to eclipse what he did in 2022. The pressure that year was intense since it had been 61 years since Maris set the AL record. Given it's recency, I can see that there will be interest, but not the weight of the baseball world in him to hit 62.

This is a line from Friday’s APP.
Over his last 99 games, No. 99 is batting .379 (132-for-348) with 44 homers and 105 RBI in that span.

I don’t see how anyone hits consistently at the big league level today.
The basic fundamentals and approach we all learned as a youth are no longer applicable in today’s game
Looks disinterested in some at bats it's bizarre. Not much plate discipline. I thought his pitches per at bat would be even worse than this. He never takes a walk.
This is one of the reasons his previous team gave up on him.Looks disinterested in some at bats it's bizarre. Not much plate discipline. I thought his pitches per at bat would be even worse than this. He never takes a walk.
Cortes of all people is finally giving the Yankees bullpen a little break.
I actually got to hear her speak in front of a political science class I took at Rutgers. It was sometime around 2000-01. It was a memorable experience given her historical significance.
Funny enough, I do say her name in my head a fair percentage of the time when Jazz comes to the plate.
