OT: Official 2022 NY Yankees Season And Post Season Thread

Boone would rather have Tim Locastro hit, than send Hicks or Gonzalez pinch hit. Think about that. Why are they even on the roster?
I've been wondering why Hicks is on the roster for a good part of the season.
And Peraza belongs on the roster before Marwin.
Severino needs to step up tomorrow.

It would help if they stopped swinging for the fences every time they took a hack. You're unlikely to hit HRs against a good pitching staff.
 
Houston game now in 14th, 0-0. No Yankees on TBS. 4-2 Yanks in there 6th, TBS .missing major ratings
 
This is the shit you get when you don't have a legit closer.

Overused bullpen before the ASG.

Clarke Schmidt is your guy???

Hope I’m wrong but Yanks are toast. To give up 3 in the 9th like that simply can’t happen.
 
Small ball always wins ! Cash
man and his math team are on the outs
The problem with math/stats in baseball is that the only time they really matter is against top talent and in the playoffs. As much as I love Judge, I’d like to see a stat that shows how many of the 62 homers were off the top 5-10 pitchers in the league.
 
Yankees bullpen compared to any other playoff team remaining including Cleveland, is huge step below.
Houston Bullpen is insane
Schmidt has middle innings behind or way ahead stuff….he has no business sniffing the roll of closer.
Boone has to manage his BP

I just want to revisit the payroll thingy you guys harped on in the Mets thread. It doesn't mean $hit under the bright lights of playoff baseball. Series not over but the fact your pressed to the brink I felt the need to educate.Which MLB team has the lowest payroll in 2022? The Cleveland Guardians have the lowest payroll in the MLB at $29.1 million, only approximately $300,000 below the Baltimore Orioles. Both teams have a lower team payroll than 15 MLB players. The Mets aren't #1, they are #2, and let's look at who's #3 as if you didn't know. Playoffs aren't about payroll, they're about Big Mo, whichever team carry's it , advances. I think I shot that theory to $hit, don't you think kbee and superfan01? For the record, the Mets epic fail as you guys liked to call it was against the #5 payroll in the sport. Has there ever been a bigger gap in payrolls if Judge doesn't take the team on his back again and they lose? A team with the #3 highest payroll losing to the #30 and dead last payroll? Hoping for superfan01 and kbee to come out of hiding and explain this all to me since I know jack$hit apparently.

Closers, unless you're a Mariano Rivera, have to get more "swing and miss" matchups.

A closer pitching to contact normally is a recipe for disaster.

In post game interviews, Boone was asked why
he brought in a reliever that has been struggling, he said said, I don't know I just thought I'd give a shot. The same answer he
gives when when he is asked why he takes
the games best home run hitter and leads him off and batting behind the
games worst hitters the nbr 8 & 9. In the post
game show all four basemen agreed when
Mantle and Mays batted 4th they studied
The pitcher how and what he was doing.
Boone, Cashmen and the computer want
to change the game. So I say F them both. Steinbrenner has to fire both of them they don't have a clue. All four announcers , most
of whom played the game, were bewildered
at what has has transpired.
 
I can not believe Michael Kay chose Oswaldo not getting to that dink to left as the reason we lost. said Boone should have had Hicks in there. Forget the batting practice pitching we were experiencing, he chooses to rail on Oswaldo being in there. I sincerely doubt Hicks would have caught that ball. And IKF was nowhere near it. I can't stand people who have never touched a baseball commenting on a professionals skills.

That is why in my message above I stated most
of the 4 announcers. I was excluding M.Kay.
He doesn't know shit from Schinola.
 
If they lose tonight, tear it down.

New GM, new coach, new philosophy towards hitting. Keep the pitchers but jettison as much as offensive money as possible. Let the kids play. They certainly couldn't play any worse under pressure.

This?

More of a partial nuke but yes, something dramatic.

What's the point of paying these guys 30+ million a year if they can't produce in the playoffs?
Just no predicting how the post season will go year to year, but the Yankees have had a pretty consistent record the last 13 years to use going forward.
