thadude Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I am encouraged by last night's loss actually. The Yankees never hit Keuchel that guy has sleptwalked through our lineup in the past but last night we actually gave him trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember him having a limit in his first season and that was lifted in his second season, but since he was so awful last year and moved to the bullpen he didn't hit the limit. Severino probably has an unofficial limit at around 190 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 So they made Jeter Retirement on Mother's Day a doubleheader vs. Houston. I've never been to a double header except for once in Wrigley vs. the Mets back in the summer of '98 and we stayed in the stadium since we were clueless 18 year olds (3 Mets and a Yank) doing a cross-country road trip and knew nothing of Chicago. Can you exit and re-enter Yankee Stadium for a doubleheader? or do you have to be in there for all 8+ hours from the 2:05pm start to the estimated 10pm finish of the night game?

I'm not down on the Yanks. Everyone loses 8 out of 10 at some point. They aren't going to win 110 games, and Judge was not going to hit 60 home runs. But when the bullpen has to throw 14 innings in one day, that's a mark that'll stick. Tanaka was throwing BP. Those 1st two home runs... Credit the Astros for hitting them, but 90 mph, heart of the plate, just above the knees is not going to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaka was horrible yesterday but the crazy thing is he made a couple pitches in that game that literally stunned me. That curve ball he threw that was in on the batter's hands and then curved inside into the strike zone to strike the guy out -- that was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen in my life I thought this was a 85 win team with a Wildcard at the beginning of the season and I'm sticking with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Astros are a very good team. That the Yanks lost 3 of 4 and were still in 1st place after the series is a good sign. Tanaka and CC are the key, like we all thought going in. Tanaka has been uneven while CC has been dreadful. If Tanaka becomes consistently good and CC simply decent, then the Yanks will be alright. I don't trust the O's pitching and the Red Sox's hitting is completely punchless. The Yanks should be still competing by July. Will be interesting to see what Cashman does then in the trade market. They definitely need a front line arm, but don't know if they'd be willing to give up a top prospect for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About being at 85-88 wins, it will be interesting if the Yanks are at that pace in July. Prior, recent history, shows that Cash would not make a deal at that point (he held on to Sanchez, Judge) when the Blue Jays overtook them in the division and they fell to the WC. If the Yanks are in range for 90-95 and a division title, I think Cash makes a move for a top pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term they will have to see if Bird is the answer at 1b and long term DH should be easy to figure out. Otherwise it will be about the rotation. But this team is looking good.

A lot of ifs but Severino and Pineda, if they keep pitching the way they have they will be alright. CC can be the 4th (I know he is hot and cold). Although with championship aspirations (if they end up having them) you would want a more solid # 2 guy behind Tanaka. Especially since Tanaka can opt out of his contract next season.

Especially since Tanaka can opt out of his contract next season. The name that is being thrown out there to be behind Tanaka is Gerrit Cole of the Pirates. He's a good pitcher having a good year on a bad team (2.84 ERA, .219 BAA, 1.02 WHIP). He's a better option to the other name thrown out there, Jose Quintana of the White Sox, who's having a bad year on a bad team (4.38 ERA, .253 BAA, 1.42 WHIP). The Yanks would definitely be unloading one or more of the OF prospects in any trade because, like mentioned, there are so many. We're still 2 months away from this being an issue because anything could happen in that time. But if they're division leaders still then, Cash will make a move for the rotation. They can survive with Headley and 1B because the offense is so dynamic. Top of rotation pitching addition is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trade for a top pitcher unless one of our starting pitchers got hurt or just stopped being effective. I know our rotation has come down to earth last couple weeks but CC, Severino etc are still effective even if they are not consistently good.

There's going to be some top starting pitchers available in the offseason (Darvish, Arrieta (yeah I know he's having a bad year so far but will probably bounce back) plus there's the Otani kid from Japan who is probably going to be even better than Tanaka. No need to give up prospects and trade unless we get injuries or the rotation simply starts to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
