OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I actually felt pretty confident for the first time in a long, long time when a Yankees pitcher came in to close a game.
And thank you, Juan Soto.
Guys, we can be excited about our magic number being 1 and we have a good shot at winning the number one playoff seed. I feel this team is peaking at the right time.
Sadly, Cashman built this team and it is fatally flawed for the playoffs.

Hopeful, but agree.
This team leads MLB in grounding into double plays and strikes out way too often.
Not conducive to success when you are facing every team's top 3 starters in the post season.
Well, I'm still going to hope for the best and see where it goes. I know they are a flawed team, but every other team is similar or worse.
The other encouraging thing is Judge getting hot again; let's hope it continues into October
I get your point. But he had his chances here.
I still can't believe the White Sox are gonna break that record set by the Mets 62 years ago.
Only 3 more years of Stanton!!!
Another guy that better not see the batter's box in the playoffs.
Rojas holding him against what needed to be a perfect throw from a DH masquerading as a right fielder was the bigger error. Yes, once the ball was in the always aggressive Torres screwed up but I'd rather he screw up being aggressive than being conservative.
As for looking forward to his departure, there's many who think this way. None of you know what you're talking about but there are a lot of you. You'll get your wish as he'll become too expensive for a club that's going to need to cut salary to make every effort to re-sign Soto but he's going to make someone very happy.
Good riddance to Torres. He should have been dumped a long time ago. I don't care what he does somewhere else. Seen plenty to know that he can't perform here.
He leads MLB in errors as a second baseman.
He routinely screws up base running/half assing it.
Outside of the last 3-5 weeks, he's pretty much sucked all season.
I think it's easier playing corner outfield.
Just don't understand his problem.
He's been pretty bad.
Pretty bad is a huge understatement, at least 3 uncaught pop flies that every major league fielder has to make 99.9% of the time & he missed all 3.
True. But they can't keep running "Ground Ball To 2nd Base" Verdugo out there.
Let's see. No true 1st baseman. No true 2nd baseman, no third baseman, No left fielder. no right fielder. Cashman has to go.
Still time for Judge to become the first every non-roid player with multiple 60 or more HR seasons.
