Game Thread Yankees vs. Giants Saturday 7/23/16, 4:05 pm

Before anything else happens......this freekin Ellsbury better start shitting gold rings very soon.
Wtf happened to this guy? He isn't injured, barely batting .270 with a very modest OPB....he's not OLD....wtf?

 

...Yanx, 0-10 with RISP...end of story.

 

Yes indeedy, your basic tough stinging loss.
I'd like to give McCann a rousing kick in his butt.
And this Swarzak guy, the more he pitches, his ERA will become closer to "5".
Are the Yankees really trying to convince us there isn't some kid reliever in the minors with livelier stuff who wont benefit from the ML experience Swarzak is sucking up and can't be at least as good a "middle reliever" type than Swarzak? And this isn't only including TODAY...he's been around the track....common knowledge he isn't great shakes.

 

...Hicks has never been worth a shit at the plate. He now has over 1100 career ABs with a slash line of .218 .296 .338 .634 with a career OPS+ of 74.

...that's abysmal...especially for a corner OFer.

 

Fatass McCann needed a routine flyball to win the game.
And it's probably better suited this way because THESE are the things competitive teams do to win games.....and we are all in agreement that this team has been nothing but consistently mediocre.
We knew it was highly unlikely, but if we have any respect at all for the 162 game schedule which sets itself apart from the other major team sports, this team needed a 6,7,8 game win streak soon after the Allstar break to at least show some balls and put management in position to both be sellers while STILL looking to possibly improve a team which is in calling distance of playoff spot.....do yourself favor, go ask Houston Astros' fans if they "like" the WC Playoff.

Go ahead....get back to me....I'll be waiting. Lmao

 

Should of known these Idiots would lose. From what I heard they had so many wasted opportunities to score more then 1 fucking run.

 

Yep, he has been terrible offensively.....and he has yet to reach his career seasonal high ABs this season. This guy obviously has been a struggling player and I am NOT predicting "success" for his career...but do us a favor and take a look at his numbers from last year when he had his most AT BATS in a SINGLE SEASON, 352....he has so far had 194 AT BATS THIS YEAR...so don't cloud the issue to suit your point.
And don't try and use your typical cheap shot attempt at twisting things to prove your point - I AM NOT PREDICTING, NOR DID I EVER SAY HICKS WAS NECESSARILY GOING TO BE A "GOOD" PLAYER...I just wanted to see what or if he could improve on last year's numbers when he had 352 ABs....I'm sure you would want the Yanks to give you AT LEAST close to similar ABs as last year.
So far he's had approx 45% less ABs than last year.

 

By the way, anyone see John Ryan Murphy lately?
AND by the way '59, have we arrived at a verdict yet on the "Yanks" choice of going with Miller for less than Drob?

Oh, gotta love convenient amnesia.

 

go giants!

 

^^^...lol...hey man... long time, no see.

 

what a great game, that mac williamson can play!

nova looked sharp

 

I don't think I've been so pissed over a Yankee loss this season than I was today. Pitching match favored the Giants, then Nova pitches over his head and the offense peed their pants all say long. When they failed after loading the bases my vocabulary went south and the squeeze threatened to wash my mouth with soap. Her words it's only a ball game, I said it's a God Damn Yankee Game.

 

Yankees close to trading Aroldis Chapman. Nats, Cubs, Giants, and Indians are interested as per Ken Rosenthal.

 

Just saw that on River Avenue Blues. To me Chapman was a bit of a head case never knew why the Yankees acquired him. If they get a haul so much the good, let the next guy worry about his rental time an impending free agency.

 

...^^^

buy or sale by TD ... ?? Sale like its Frisco in 1906, LA in 93, and/or the 60s-70s: Memphis, Birmingham, Watts, Chicago, et al. Fkn Sale like a Slaughterhouse meat auction in Praque....

or- Mode 1 Egress, (not an option)???

no one's head is so sacred as not to trade, sale, but can Trashman ever make any move worthwhile, that's the story, ticket. Gauging from these sad sacks, I'd say no, Trashman will throw the baby out with the water.

Ellsbury has not payed off from day one. Hicks can throw like he's Clemente (at times), but can't hit his weight, let alone do both. No one can steal a fkn base. Beltran seems fine this year alone, but was a shadow of himself in the two prior years. Tex, fk, why is he still on this Team? Send Tex to AAA, A-Roid too. Castro? well no one's a sacred cow. Headley, cut his fkng head off, or beg Miami to give Prado back. Ichiro too.

That's enough, I've not the wind to cover the rest, let alone the SP and BP staff...

Mode 1 Egress= (poof)

 

"Saturday, 10:38pm ET: The Yankees are telling teams they are close to trading Aroldis Chapman and will hold on to Andrew Miller, reports Ken Rosenthal. There’s no word on where Chapman may be heading or when a deal may be completed. For what it’s worth, the Nationals have been connected to him most frequently."




...I'm hoping this is simply posturing and poker playing by Cashman in order to get a better offer for Miller...no one on the roster should be untouchable. If the Yanx really want to reload, Miller would bring even more in return through a trade than Chapman. I realize that Miller is under under contract for another 2 years but unless the Yanx can completely turn thing around by next year (and I realistically don't think they can) I don't see the need for Miller on a Yanx team that probably won't make the PS next year either.

...this is not a time for half measures...if they are serious about turning the roster over, the changes they make need to be big ones...if they can a contending team to cough up some serious chips for Miller, they should do it.

 

Having Betances and Miller going into next year isn't such a bad thing....Yanks will still have TWO dominating relievers and that's a good start if the Yanks (unlike some fans) plan on being a competitive team.

 

...^^^ amen, spare no heads. A serious restructuring is necessary, if they want Fans to show up.
