OT: Official 2022 NY Yankees Season And Post Season Thread

[yesrutgers01]

So no deGrom. Hmmm maybe he needs a break after missing most of the season or maybe it is his 2-4 record against the Yankees in 6 starts. His 3.51 ERA is a full point higher the his career ERA. That might be the real reason.

Or- maybe the Yankee series is not as important as the Braves series which he would miss if he pitched today...But you are the expert.
Though, there is an irrational part of me that really did wish he was pitching today. Only because it just becomes a very fun game to anticipate. Regardless of which NY team you are a fan of.

But it does make more sense to pitch him against the team chasing them

I get the joke, but tonight's game is actually on Amazon Prime and TBS.

TBS may be blacked out in the Tri-State area.

Nope. the game is on channel 60 SNY. Kind weird, Yes blocked the Yanks, but Mets have them on.

Minor quibble, SNY is not TBS, which has it blocked.

 

[MitchLL]

After tonite's game... I think it's pretty clear Boone will never have enough confidence in Chapman to bring him into any high pressure situation.

The obvious question is if he's merely a guy you bring into a blowout win/loss? Just another high priced veteran to cut bait on.

What channel plays the bulk of the Met games,?

 

[RW90]

Crazy stat mentioned in tonight's broadcast:




Even more the parallel with '61 and the M&M boys.

It’s a disgrace

They've got a month to straighten him out. If not, forget putting him on the post-season roster.

Yanks vs Braves WS would be great ball

TV wants Yankees Dodgers.
IIRC the 2000 World Series was a huge hit in the NE but a complete flop everywhere else.

Don't knock it until you try it. Ever have a Bloody Mary with a Slim Jim straw?

Agree. Chapman serves no purpose right now.

Can’t trust Chapman when walking guys and throwing the ball all over the place

1) In a weird way, I admire his precision with coring the hot dog and the order of operations
2) This was not the first hot dog straw of the night. The person recording this didn't comment aloud and seemingly knew what was going to happen.
3) That is probably a $7 straw, though I presume he would eat the dog afterwards (though now it is now going to be cold and soggy).
4) Wait, who drinks beer through straw?

Not to mention the plaid Yankee cap.

With Nestor to the IR... the Montgomery trade just keeps looking worse.

Sadly he joins the guy who the Yankees trade Montgomery for. Puzzling

 

[MitchLL]

That's a nightmare debut for the rookie pitcher.

Ouch(pun intended).😟

 

[RUhasarrived]

The Phillies could affect the AL best overall record by not pitching their aces in the final three games at Houston if their place in the NL Wild Card standings has been decided.

 

[NickKnight 1]

I rather talk Yankees then eating a hot dog
with a straw.
So what about Judge they give him nothing
to hit first time up, 2nd time intentionally walked, so 3rd time up the pitcher throws first
pitch over the plate and wham, bam, thank you mam. What a year he is having.

 

[RU Diesel07110]

He’s going to better pitches with Stanton back in the lineup and if Rizzo and dj get hot

 

[RULoyal]

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Stanton sitting out already ??

Couldn't wait until the end of the season? What a dope.

 

[MitchLL]

Fvck Chapman, that stupid ass.

Might be the dumbest mofo on the planet.

Saturday nite, piss another one down their leg and on Sunday... run the AAA pitching staff to the mound.

Can't see these clowns getting past their first round series in the postseason.

 

[ClassOf02]

Oof, this thread had fallen to page 3. Apathy setting in, or just west coast trip fatigue?

Judge cracks #51, Taillon leaves game after taking a line drive to the forearm, Yanks win and snap the 3 game skid.

 

[RW90]

They had a great trivia question on last night's Amazon Prime broadcast:

Judge is the seventh center fielder all-time with a 50 HR season. Who are the other six?

P.S... My son and I could only name three.

 

[Rhuarc]

Mantle, Mays, Brady Anderson are the 3 that popped in my head without cheating.

 

[RW90]

Good call on Brady, he's easily forgettable given his power topped out soon after.

We had Mantle, Mays, and another. Will post the answer maybe tomorrow.

 

[mikemarc1]

Did Trout ever hit 50?

 

[RUInsanity]

Good call on Brady, he's easily forgettable given his power topped out soon after.

I guessed Griffey Jr as well.

I just remember that he had one big year due to roids and he fell off a cliff immediately after.

 

[RW90]

Ditto. We missed on Brady and the other two.

 

[MitchLL]

Cole just can't avoid that one, big "gopherball" every game.

And batters still taking those first pitch strikes and falling behind in the count. That's a fundamental problem with the Yankee approach to hitting in this day and age. Gone are the days of trying to run up the pitch count.
These guys have no ability to adjust at the plate...Donaldson and Torres strike out with guys at 1st and 2nd.

Disgusting.

Just a complete shit show for the past two months.

Fire Boone's ass yesterday.

[MitchLL]

Team is toast.

Between Donaldson, Hicks, and even LeMahieu not playing well...then Torres, Thaillon, and the bullpen looking like shit...I feel bad for Judge busting his ass.

Without a WS appearance, Steinbrenner needs to clean house and boot Cashman and Boone.

Outside of Benintendi, the moves at the deadline look incompetent.

Trying to forget about another disgusting loss...

• Hack Wilson
• Mickey Mantle
• Willie Mays
• Ken Griffey Jr.
• Brady Anderson
• Andruw Jones
