OT: Official 2021 NY Yankees Season Thread

Not open for further replies.
HIs upcoming free agency will be fascinating. The Yankees cannot allow themselves to give him a long term contract. There's hardly any chance it will turn out positively.
Who's upcoming free agency? At the end of this season the only Yankee that will become a free agent is Kluber.
 
Bruce doesn't help at 1st either. He completely whiffed on that play.
I agree.
Although I gotta tell you that every time that Urshela throws to first I'm sure it's an out.
With Gleyber it's always nervous time.
 
So no need to worry. A lot can happen in 2 seasons. By the end of that we will find who is real and who is a flash in the pan.
With Judge, it isn't about talent. He is HOF talent- hitting and in the field...He just needs two years with no stint on the DL...
 
This is a pretty disjointed team right now. The good thing is no one will run away from the NYY in the AL East, so they have the chance to figure shit out.
 
Bruce is not a first baseman.
Tauchman is not a first baseman either but I'd give him a shot. Tauchman is a better athete, he hustles on every play and in 2019 anyway he had a great bat.

Not going to happen, but I would bench or fine Sanchez after he turned a double into a single by loafing to first base. Tauchman bailed him out by his great pinch-running.
 
An early season trend favors the Yankees today:Teams beginning a road trip vs teams beginning a home stand are 3-0 so far,all of them covering the run line.

BTW-Damn Yankees is now available for viewing on lookmovie.io.Use the Brave browser if you're squeamish over porno popups.

He's not a good defender anywhere on the field. But he did make the teams as the Yankees starting first baseman
If the Yanks don't do well in the playoffs this year, the blame can be put on management who was reluctant to go beyond the salary cap threshold. There had to have been a bunch of backup 1B who were better than Bruce.

This is the Yankees we're talking about. They shouldn't be bargain basement shopping, they should be using their money advantage that everyone whines about.
 
Just watch games where Kluber starts and see how the bullpen gets drained and it trickles down for the next few games.

A right handed pitcher that pitches to contact at Yankee stadium is a recipe to disaster. NYY going to need to score 6+ runs to have a chance when he's on the mound, imo.
 
This team just isn’t good. I said it before , it’s time to start over here. Def not getting the returns on the money spent

pitching (besides cole and bullpen) stinks
Team defense stinks (especially the infield )
Judge is always hurt

There are so many weaknesses that it's difficult to know where to start.
To me, this is a team with about nine DHs and two quality starters.
 
I would like to know what genius decided to vaccinate the entire team at one time when people are bound to have negative side effects to the shot.
 
Between Kluber and Tallion... any guesses on if either starts and pitches five innings in a game this year?

Holy crap, these guys are bad.

It's April. Calm down. Doubt both will be awful all year long. Could be wrong but it's so early to project a great or bad year of any player so far. Tallion was lights out in the summer heat in Florida.

You might be right, but Kluber is a "pitch to contact" guy. With the RF porch, yikes.

There are just too many holes right now to think every aspect will get better.

Yeah, it's still a KO/HR lineup.
Outside of DJ and a healthy Gio, that does seem to be the real weak spot that Cashman has to address at some point. The Yankee championships of the 90's 00's were built just the opposite.
Would also help if they could get a real SS- have DJ at 1B and move Torres back to 2B. Ever since the move to SS- he has been a different player, and that is not a good thing. It is also telling that most feel more comfortable with a 37 y/o Gardner playing CF over the 70mil man who is much younger.
 
WTF is Boone doing with Nelson starting tonite?

Right now, this team is hot garbage.

Hard to watch right now.
Anything less than a WS appearance and Cashman has to go.

Great team you built Brian Cashman.
Can't believe people still defend the Stanton trade.

Just saw when the last time the NY Yankees had sole possession of the worst record in the AL was April 1998. So there is hope.

We have all seen periods where the Yanks may not hit well for 10-15 games but the difference this year is the horrible OBP and SLG- can’t remember the last time I saw the Yanks so low in both

Plus, there seems to be an unpleasant odor coming from the second base area.

Everyone keeps saying the analytics prove avg doesn't win games but these strike out bums we have in the line up just kill me. I really don't care about baseball anymore. Oh and the nike swoosh on the uniforms is heresy
