Costas, thanks for the history lesson of the '78 Yankees. We Yankee fans are aware of that season and also that the current '18 team has nowhere near that of the '78 Team.
This afternoon Trashman actually said ‘not yet’ on Chance Adams. Now, he’s starting Saturday. Does this GM have a handle on this team? He’s all over the place about who’s doing what! So, now we see that the mess is not only on the field.....It is also in the front office. Talk about a total mess.
Pearce is killing Yankee pitching. That’s 8 RBIs on 4 HRs in 10 innings so far. Doomed! Managing & selecting roster players does fall on BaBoone & Trashman.
Note to Cashman: for the mere sum of 50K per annum, I could be the Yankees DH. Very simple job just stand at the plate, watch 3 go by and sit down. Hell of a lot less more fore the same results you're getting from your prima donna do nothings.
...here we go again...so you don't think the GM and the Manager should be held accountable for a team's performance ? ...our "ace" has now had 4 poorly pitched games in a row...and you're OK with that?...seriously, how do you honestly think this team stacks up against the Sox, Astros and Indians in the PS? ...the Yanx are closer to being completely out of any PS play than they are to winning the division...but yeah, by all means, cue up "Kumbaya".
One hit through six innings. The offense has no answers from Porcello offerings. All facets of the game are on the decline. Andujar’s HR was the only hit by the Yankee lineup. This series was advertised as a fight for first place which is laughable.....for me it was a fight for respectability and that is turning out to be disastrous.
...after hitting Gardner to lead of the game, Porcello never pitched out of the stretch for the rest of the game...think about that for a second.
As the old saying goes the shit flows downhill from the top to the bottom. From Mahogany row, into the clubhouse, dugout and out onto playing field...
^^^^^ 50K-$$, lol, I do it for a bag of Cheetos, IF they'd let me wear a Judge wig while batting (rather hitting) & let me keep the Uni... Wonder if they'd issue #007...
Weather its 10-0 or 1-0 a loss is still a loss. Sevey once again failed to pitch his game and the offense stared at strikes all night. GT bleeped another play. In '15 the Yankees were swept by the Blue Jays, eventually winding up as Wild Card. One game playoff and they got their asses kicked. This year if Boston completes a sweep the Yankees are looking at several Wild Card teams in the mirror. In September the Yankees play against Oakland & Seattle. Remember what happened in Oakland last year. Scary part is other than Judge they are pretty much playing with a full deck, no one misses Sanchez. In addition the manager does not know how to set & use his bullpen. Some of that in this series started with Smiling Sunny shitting the bed against Baltimore & CC with an abysmal performance in game on.
What the fuck is boone going to do when his ace is pitching bad....its he shit the bed...if you cant count on your ace that is not on the manager or the gm. Losing judge and gary sure doesnt help. Holder not running at the runner who was dead to rites, something little league kids fucking know what to do is not on the manager its on the player. Boston running all over romaine..is that on the manager too? 2 out non hits...thats on the manager? People bitxhed and moaned about torre...they moaned about girardi... Cant throw germain out there every 5 days because of the what have you done lately ny fans will errupt when they dont win every single game. Spoiled fans!
geez, I'm half tempted to encite a manifesto... ah shit, I'm biting, don't say I didn't warn ya'.... (no offense intended) Spoiled. Do we count success by Wild Card and PS appearances alone? AL Pennants, or AL East pennants. World Series rings is more like it. This team isn't as cohesive as last years. Last years were over-achievers. I doubt you'd find anyone here who even thought for a moment last years team was Post Season capable at the start of the season, or even after the June Swoon. Sure they entertained the hell out of us all last year; this year too. But the entertainment is inconsistent as hell; and this team is going backwards. What's Trashman put on the field? Yeah, he's responsible for the quality or lack of talent on the field. Only Trashman had the ability to make or pull the strings; to put this team on the field. What's this team have last year didn't? More entertainment, upcoming prospects; that play like rookies too damn often. Vets that watch strike after strike fly by. Alot more HR's, no always a good thing btw. Where's the discipline at the plate, on the field. What's baBoone doing other than looking like a rookie himself? He inherited the keys to a self driving cadillac; but even those require tune ups, maintenance, and someone to input guidance. What's the 3 primary elements of a Management or Mgr's Charter? #1- Fundamentals #2- Discipline #3- Teamwork all other elements of baseball, and winning org's fall under one of those 3, if not all intertwined. The Discipline to execute the Fundamentals flawlessly, daily, in ones sleep. The Discipline to ensure a team is firing on all cylinders, and know when the caddy needs a tune-up, and wtf is required, and when; and how to do these things, like where's the oil go to this well oiled or squeaky machine. To instill Teamwork, ensuring one team member picks up the others, in lieu of letting 'em down. Where's the guidance for this team, the leadership; the effing coaching??? What-... let's all swing for the fences, have no plate discipline, no guidance, no real managing when all are swinging for the fences; where's the strategy in that. Pretty much the same on the field too. Seem's like baBoone just learned what small ball is. Guess he read Torre's- "The Yankee Years" recently. and oh by the way, you never heard me or anyone here bitch about Joe; you can't find me saying such during his entire Tenure, neither here or on the BSPN boards. As for Torre, some can justifiably draw reasons to complain. Personally, I thought the man walked on water. From his playing days, to his Mgmt days; into the booth days, back on the field to his Glory days. The only year(s) I badmouthed Torre was when he was Managing t/Braves. 1982, as exciting as it ges in the NL, a year t/Braves and Bums would duke it out, as Joe's Braves blew a 9 game lead in the NL West (yeah NL west) as of July 29th 1982, and was 4 games behind the Bums 3 weeks later on Aug 18th. Lost his big lead, but wrestled it back on t/27th of Sept. Or 1983: Joe's Braves had a 6.5 game lead on Aug 18th, wen't on a series of losing streaks from hell, and fell 5.5 back as of Sept 23rd, fought t/Bums to the end, lost the NL-W by 3.0 gms to t/Bums; need I say more? Joe's Teams commonly wilted in the dog days of Summer, Aug, Sept. You know what it's like to live in LA Hell, when the effing Bums win??? As for his Yankee days, sure he too inherited a self driving caddy. Yet Joe was one of several Mgr's who instituted the 6-IP for SP's, 100-120 Pitches. He was also a Veteran who could and knew when to play small ball, long ball, both or call the game in the booth. He was touted as being to soft on players; but I've never complained, he got things done. I've always preferred complete gamers, but I bought Joe's Yanx Years, and never bitched regardless. Maybe I should of... At times, as a Fan, one pulls for their team regardless of the fkups. I used to do just that; and often didn't understand why fans would boo their own team. I never saw that on the West Coast, never saw it in the West (Plains & South), not in the Midwest; but sure as hell always in the North-East, more-so Yankee Stadium, where ya' call a spade a spade. At one time I didn't wan't to believe A-Fraud was juicing, and believed in his lies. So whadda ya' do when ya' realize you've been had, duped, or screwed over as a Fan by bonehead, miscalculated moves, calls, lack of calls, lack of Examples set, lack of good trades et al. You start at the top, you call it on the field, and squeeze the two together until ya' realize who put this team/ship on the field to begin with, and whose running the damn ship into a fkng sand barge. BaBoone has no clue, not yet, probably not in several years. Trashamn fkd up simply put by firing Joe. If Boone can redeem himself, good for him. IF the Yanx can salvage this year, great I'll pull for them all the way. But never at the expense of garbage boneheaded plays and calls on the field. We call a spade a spade when we see it/them. We call for the outing of those who giggle when they fkup on the mound and depart, spitting in our faces; humilitating and defacing the Institution of Greatness, that is the Yanx. We back the PS, BUT we also point out shortcomings; rather glaring weaknesses along the way. These are t/discrepancies that bring down well built vehicles, Teams; which hinder and cause bullshit losses/games and pennants; such as the garbage we've seen since prior to Kansas Shitty, Baltiwhore, and now Boston, shame on these pretenders. along the way. That is NOT a well built Team. Defining discrepancies is how a teams/vehicles become better, becomes polished; by addressing the root causes of problems. In this case it's not only a lack of talent; it's talent that's there but not performing. It's fixing problems; and this Team is not a well built Team. Ask any Yankee Fan on the street; those you don't know: Hey whaddya think of the Yanx SP Staff?? Or those youngsters, which is give 'em time, give 'em time and work; and don't expect miracles, but by no means never settle for mediocrity, and that's what we have now....maybe!!! A bridge is only as strong as its weakest pillar. If one fails, the others take on a greater role; that's part of Teamwork. You like to refer to the 61 Yanx I've noticed. Did Mantle's downtime effect their outcome; (missing 10 of the last 12 gms); and no Judge is not The Mick, not yet anyway... No one's spoiled, we just call a spade out when we see one.... geezus, this manifesto cost me 2 hours of sleep this am...sonamubitch my bad..lol...
damned I've got a headache, damned manifestos, damned Yankees... Game Recap- One word, one-hit why is it two rookies are leading this team in B'avg, (less Judge)???? Why did Tarzan and Jane not have any kids??? Why do birds shit on our heads and not our shoes???
Well said manifesto, and when i have time ,not on my cell phone, i will reply with mine, I appreciate the time you spent putting together your thoughts on the manner. And before anyone rolls their eyes i am being sincere. I have been called a homer when it comes to my teams...yanks/rangers/jets/knicks. And just like now when i sit back and know the season is 162 games i try to keep an even keil (keal?) on my personal highs and lows. Ill continue a little later when im not on my phone laying in bed.
