I spent a couple seconds looking at the batting averages of tonite's starting lineup and thought to myself...IKF should be batting 4th. There's just too many non contact guys too high in the batting order.
Fvck it. He's getting paid regardless and he brings absolutely nothing to this lineup with his production and lack of effort.
Intentionally walking him in over time no outs
Might be the greatest year for a power hitter in a very long time. He has 20 more HRs than 2nd place.....as of now.
Would love to be his agent because my man is gonna get paid serious coin this offseason. And you just know Cashman has to be kicking himself for not signing him earlier.
I think Judge is going to find himself with a huge decision to make. I don't feel the Yankees are going to be the biggest contract. They may be right there with the yearly but I feel like there may be a team or two that may be willing to go a year longer. So, Judge may have to decide if that is enough to get him away from the Yankees. Judge understands what it would mean to have his entire career with the Yanks and finish his career considered one of the greatest Yankee's ever. But, will that be enough to keep him?
Would like to know what Cashman's rationale was in not locking him up last winter/spring?
$$$$ I'm going to say that was a Hal issue not as much as Cashman's issue.
Agree- Cashman would have signed him in a second if the checkbook was open.
Didn't CC have a drinking problem?
+1
Pitching
Babe Ruth was a HoF quality pitcher and likely the greatest hitter of all time. SO is a good pitcher and a very good hitter. Nothing wrong with that, but CC needs to slow down.
You will never see CC at an Old Timers Game especially when Judge signs with SF
I don't even know why he would have said what he said- not as Judge is going for a historic NYY season.
Meanwhile Jordan Montgomery is 5-1 with a 2.05 ERA with St. Louis.
Holmes is toast. The job of a closer has always seemed like a joke to me. Closers Rest all game and watch everything that’s transpired. Are usually provided ample time to warm up and get their heads on straight. Get called in to get a few outs typically against tired players that have just played for 3 hours. How do these closers ever blow a save! It’s not like a pinch-hitter that all of a sudden gets thrown into a game and is expected to hit - so it never surprises me when a PH strikes out. But blown saves should almost never happen.
