#27TheDominator Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Betances had a run last year where he was a bit wild. I think he is a big dude and being a little off makes him miss the zone badly. I think he will straighten out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Judge coming back to earth. Chapman, killer blown save, could have taken 3 of 4 from Boston. CC pitched well coming back, Tanaka with a real big performance last night. Even though they lost, he gave them innings at a point they really needed a long start out of him.

SMC Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 At least they didn't lose another series. CC and Severino looked real good. Judge in a mini slump, but he crushed that ball which was robbed of him as a HR. I give no credit to Tanaka, though. Yes, he kept them in it, but he pitched well enough to lose and after the embarrassment of a season he's had thus far (worst ERA of any starting picture in AL with at least 10 starts) he doesn't get a carrot for performing like a JAG. He's getting ace money and is expected to be an ace. But because he has been such an utter failure in that role, Yanks have to rely on a 22 yr old kid and a 37 yr old with a bad knee to fill that void.

He's not an ace, at all. I do not know what is wrong with him, but after Friday and Saturday, they could not afford to have him go 5 innings.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I wonder how much the Derby played a part in Judge's post-all-star game slump. Anectodal evidence from a lot of the Derby guys show that they have to alter their swing for the event and that it takes a bit to get it back. No idea if there's any actual evidence of post-derby numbers, it would be easy to do, albeit time-consuming. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBowles Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 No biggie on Judge. With stance changes, you need to cycle that sh*t. You need time off from stance changing. He will get back to stance changing soon, I'm sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 No sense in trading any potential high end prospects at this point, unless you are getting an ace-type in return. So stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Interesting stat from Judge's 2nd half mini-slump, according to ESPN before last night's game: Quote Aaron Judge is looking to snap out of a 1-for-21 (.048) post-break slump Tuesday against the Twins on ESPN (8 ET). Since the break Judge has been swinging-and-missing more (41% to 34% pre-break), chasing pitches out of the zone more (37% to 21%) and hitting fewer line drives when he does make contact (14% to 28%). Judge's only hit since the All-Star break was an infield single. The bolded has been the biggest problem IMO and you can see it's the biggest drop off and leads to the poor percentages in the other categories.

So stupid. Completely agree. I understand trading Rutherford because Yanks have a glut of high-end young OFer prospects/MLBers, but save that for a trade for a No. 2 or No. 1 starter. That said, the Yanks acquired 3 MLBers for a minor leaguer and a washed up reliever, which is unheard of and tells you how valued the minor leaguer is.

Their bullpen is shored up for this year and next with Robertson, and I believe 3 years for the other guy. It's as much a help for next year as this year. They could have 4 guys in the pen with the ability to strike out 100 per season. Or Betances could stop throwing strikes forever and Chapman could keep being an average closer making elite money.
