OT- OFFICIAL 2017 YANKEES SEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
So tell us how many Yankees fans cried to the moderators about the Big Bad Mets fans raining on their thread and how many Mets fans were prevented from posting in this thread.
Yeah....that's what I thought.
You are playing the jv team, half team on DL and other half was sold
Can't believe they were sellers at the deadline since the future was so bright. At least that's what you told us.
The selling part this season is to get rid of high-priced, under-performing talent and bring up young talent.
While not initially on board, unloading Jay Bruce was smart. They have Cespedes and Conforto. Grandy and Lagares are OK 3rd OFs.
Duda was unloaded to make room for Dominic Smith--we'll see if he turns into a player.
Reed was not worth the money he was being paid.
So, agree with your statement, the future looks fairly bright, provided at least 2 or 3 of Harvey, Wheeler, Matz and Thor can come back and pitch well. They still can use a power hitter in the infield.
I don't know who this Thor is, but I checked the stats for this season.
Harvey 5.25 4-3
Wheeler 5.21 3-7
Matz 5.54 2-6
Good luck with that.
No one said that. Are they underperforming mainly due to injury? Absolutely
1. I know loads of Mets fans that thought they were going into the season with one of the best 5-man rotations ever.
2. Maybe the +5 ERAs this year indicate that they are no longer the pitchers they once were or at least Mets fans thought they were gonna be.
Right.
Left off deGrom, who is the most solid pitcher in the rotation. Thor was right behind him with a 3.29 ERA. Matz, Harvey, and Wheeler are all concerning this year. Harvey seems to be a head case in addition to his injuries.
Easy to write off pitchers coming off of injury. Get back to me in a year. Now if Harvey's issues have nothing to do with injuries and more about him being a head case well then .....
Still trying to blame injuries, uh? Perhaps they just aren't that good.
Has already been discussed numerous times the two types of injuries Harvey has had are very difficult to come back from. If his numbers were much better pre injury then open your eyes and see that inhpjuries do play a part in this. Not blaming just stating the facts. Again I will give each player a full year after they get back from surgery before I say they "aren't that good"
I hate to beat a dead horse, but the Mets aren't a .500 team yet.
To be clear, this post is only for the Met fan that wouldn't post until they were .500+.
(TMCB, look in the mirror, he means you.)
LOL.
The rest is fan banter that I expect from fans of cross town teams.
The Mets did horribly in their trades the past few weeks. Embarrassment of a franchise. The ownership and front office are completely incompetent. And the Met fans....wow. What a delusional bunch. The Yankees are a much better franchise than the Mets and they always will be.
I hope more Mets fans show up tonight to see their team lose again and also to keep giving their money to the Yanks
But, but you mean Yankee fans won't fill the stadium?
The vast majority of seats bought by Yankees fans, as always, even in Flushing when they play there
Chapman did have a nice pitch to that rookie, right over the fence.
You realize how sad it is that you have to boast about another teams accomplishments right? The Mets are so pathetic right now you have to resort to something a player on the Red Sox did to make you feel better. Wow.
Judge going for MLB history tonight.
Can he do it? Strikeout in 31 straight games to tie Adam Dunn's all-time record?

If you had suffered through as much losing as a Mets fan has you'd understand why they can enjoy "big moments" in a game they lost.
1986 was soooo long ago.
Dude seriously we are all RUTGERS FANS who know what it is like to be a long suffering fans. No need to play that card.
