OT: 2024 NY Yankees Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
The Guardians were 9-3 when they played the Yankkes today...in their house.
Now they're 9-5.
Wait until Judge starts hitting.
Yankees star Juan Soto’s approach in big moments is unacceptable, NY host says
Juan Soto is batting .360, but that's not good enough for some.
Hard to rip the dude when he is on pace for 150 RBI...I didn't see the bat that is being referred too but out of the 4 balls he took, were any of them just off the black and a good pitch to hit?Yankees star Juan Soto’s approach in big moments is unacceptable, NY host says

And the guy has Judge hitting behind him- only a HR by Soto in that AB moves the needle- otherwise- Judge still has to get a hit.
Spoken from a guy who didn’t read Ted Williams book Yes!….or never really played the game.
Imagine approaching your at bat thinking about the slump the guy behind you is in…. Ridiculous!
Swinging at balls out the strike zone to avoid a walk, statistically will result in Mendoza line numbers
Said this before.....Soto taking a walk with Judge behind him is ALWAYS a good at bat. Period.
Amazes me when people really have no concept of a game they are writing about.
And not everyone is your Dad who never saw a pitch he couldn’t drive. Lol
Soto has the game’s premier hitter behind him- the choice of swinging at a bad pitch or getting a walk shouldn’t even be in the conversation
Gleyber does know he's in a contract year, right ?
BTW, I know what they can do with Verdugo when the Martian returns.
Horrible blown game.
Kahnle.... yeah but for how long ?
Marinaccio.. it's control issues....I think. I doubt he'll be here long.
John Sterling is hanging up his mic. Looks like he’s calling it quits imminently.

Longtime Yankees radio voice John Sterling retires
NEW YORK (PIX11) – Longtime New York Yankees play-by-play radio voice John Sterling has retired, the team announced Monday. Sterling joined the Yankees during the 1989 season and went on to call 5,…

Here's an interview with him post-retirement to explain some of it. https://www.si.com/2024/04/15/yankees-announcer-john-sterling-on-why-he-retired
This was the article I saw the other day. It's dated the 8th so this was definitely a sudden announcement: https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/yankees-john-sterling-retirement-near-end.html

Him and Michael Kay were dynamite during the rise in 1996. Great home run calls, and unis "no name of course". As soon as they were separated by the Yes Network it went downhill fast. Yes with Kay and players, especially Bobby Murcer are decent. Sterling and Susan are an awful radio team. Wish him a great retirement, won't miss a second.
I think I started listening to games on the radio when the Yanks were on 770 AM when I was in 5th/6th grade. It was right when Sterling started or shortly afterwards. His voice has been part of my fan life for it's entirety. Like you said, it makes me feel old too!
Painful to listen to Susan W on FAN today- the Yankees have their superstar really struggling and you hear her going on and on about Vlad and Bo struggling so much and how unbelievable it is to see hitters like that doing so badly.
Never was a Sterling fan with his HR calls and pontificating. He was the direct opposite of a guy like Scully who never forgot that the broadcast was first and most importantly about the game.
I guess the self aggrandizement worked though as he probably ends up in the Broadcasters wing in Cooperstown.
Many don't realize that he was a pioneer in sports talk radio. He use to have an evening show on WMCA in the early 70s. This was about a decade before the Art Rust JR show on WABC.
He had a nickname contest where he would give the nickname and you had to ID the player. One thrill of my young life was when I mailed him a list of players and nicknames and he used some of them. He thanked me on the air. First time i had heard my name on the radio.
Hopefully there is no serious illness here and he leads a long life, but I won't miss him.

Great comeback today. It's nice to see these guys performing in the clutch for once and not just striking out. It's amazing what a few new players can do for the overall approach of a team.
You guys had a really big game today- not only is Soto doing everything advertised but Volpe is becoming a star. Judge git a huge hit and you know if healthy- he is always going to be 40+ and 100 rbi. It is huge to see Stanton finally becoming a major piece of the offense for the first time since his 1st year here.
Once Judge and Torres get to be their normal baseball card- you all will be happy as heck

What was funny was that in the 9th Soto walked to load the bases when they needed a hit and all I could think of was @colbert17
I concede the point......today.
Very talented player but still don't like the guy.
Soto- who is leading the team in everything- did what he should have done. and I love colbert but I think that maybe this year's Soto is not exactly the guy he saw.
Crazy thing- outside of Traveno- there was no one on the bench tonight that has even had a hit this year...that is crazy
