OT: New York Yankees 2020 season

I wanna agree with you. But 2020 is a very unusual season and I'm not sure how seriously to take players' numbers for the year. Gary most likely will get 2021 to show his old self. Higashioka is not the answer.
Neither are the permanent answer.
 
And they get rid of Didi because they thought short was his natural position. People love Cashman blindly but for every great move there are decisions like this.
Actually Cashman has often said during interviews Torres is not a shortstop. Why does someone not a yankee fan know that and a yankee fan not?

The someone not a Yankee fan doesn't know anything about the Yankees.
Cashman's qoute on Fatso last November when Didi became a free agent.
"Some things just emerge and we'll have to wait and see, but there's no doubt Gleyber Torres did a really good job playing shortstop. That's his natural position. We didn't miss anything while he was playing there."
Go back to the Mets thread.

Regarding your comment I know nothing about Yankees. My uncle used to print and supply the yearbooks and scorecards for the Yankees so I know plenty about the organization. He had a box behind the dugout in old Yankee Stadium and I frequently attended with him. Just not a fan of the team.

And you don't think that statement was made to justify not signing Didi?

or maybe it was because SS was his natural position growing up and in the minors.

It's not the first or last time he has said that. So no. YES Network was also a big pusher of "it's his natural position" going into last year. And they get that info from the club.
I think the real decision came about because of DJ play and hitting last year.
 
Add something of value to the discussion. All one has to do is look at the standings to know that.
After analyzing the season, it is clear that the Mets suck in 3 specific and distinctive ways:

1. So bad
2. So much
3. So hard

Happy? 😀
 
I can do both.
Every day the Yankees win i feel a little better.
Every day the Mets lose I also feel a little better.
This hasn't been a bad season for me.

I'll give you some of your future time back and fill in the blanks
1. So Bad - Wilpons
2. So Much - BMV
3. So Hard- As fans it is hard as fvk to argue 1 & 2

Good news is- we may not have to worry about 1 & 2 much longer

So, go back to the Yanks

Cleveland is The Mistake by the Lake

Yanks will sweep the series.

@ruready4somefootball will pull his Yankees cap out of the closet again like every postseason
You still haven

Your still doing your side gig as a predictor? 45 wins this season, multiple WS in a 5 year period. How about you just get the time of tonight's game right, then take it from there,lololol

You didn't talk Yankees for 4 weeks while they were "unwatchable" as Yankee fans have said. Mets fans are BASEBALL fans, and always talk Mets baseball. Their not front running pop up fans. There were 3x the posts and 3x views in Mets the thread
 
Where did I predict multiple WS titles?
In 2017, after Judge's short stint in the Majors in 2016.You were calling Judge, Sanchez,Andujar and Torres the The New Core 4, and predicted multiple Championships in a 5 year period. By my count, 2017,2018,2019, makes you 0-3. PS. Start time is 7 pm tonight.
 
So the only lineup annoucement yesterday was that Higashioka will be the starting catcher.
 
I'm going with the representative from New York City tonight. What do you all think?

Don't think Shane Bieber can continue the dominant performances he has had in this shortened season and is due for a clunker... hasnt been under much pressure isolated in the fan-free stadiums up to this point. But tonight he is out on the BIG STAGE ...aka "the postseason". I'm thinking he will crumble under the pressure of suddenly being in the spotlight......... the Yanks will take game 1 and go on to sweep the series

Uh, I've generally found that the Mets and Yankees fans that post here are not representative of Mets or Yankees fans in general. Most Mets fans I know are way more knowledgeable than the lot that "contribute" to this site.
And I've never used the expression "core four".

Frankly, after watching the Yankees last two series I'm expecting a quick exit from the playoffs for them.
 
If the Yanks are on top of their game offensively and stop screwing up defensively, it is very difficult to beat them. They can, but will they?

50 percent of the posts on the Mets thread are Yankees fans trolling the Mets. Congrats on being the Charlie Brown of the MLB.
