SMC Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The key is getting healthy and Astros winning the west over A's. No way do we want Yanks playing against the Astros in a 1 game WC. There's no way Yanks are beating Verlander there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's getting the wildcard is the only chance the Yankees have of winning the world series. I believe that. None of it will matter if they aren't at full strength when the postseason gets here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched him pitch 2 games against the Orioles and I am ready to give him the Cy Young. He works too slow, but his stuff is no joke. Went to Camden Yards Saturday and Sunday. Probably about 75% Yankee fans. My 8 month old son's first game, I thought he was going to go without seeing an opponent score but Kahnle gave one up. Luke Voit was absolutely raking last night, and that is after the 2 HR afternoon Saturday. Good weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Looks like the fans in this thread that were down on Bird weren't the only ones. Dude is seeing a lot of the bench lately. Would have been great if that shot today went another 2 feet. Was hoping for that and maybe it could have jump started him. At this point he (and others) just have to get ready for the postseason. The news on Chapman and Judge doesn't sound good. Hopefully they are both back though. Going to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Bird, it can't be viewed as simply a "slump." His rookie year could be a mirage. In his first 157 ABs, he batted .261, but in his next 406 ABs he's only batting .194. In hindsight, his rookie year wasn't that good. It just gave you the illusion that the best was yet to come. It hasn't and likely won't come. Judge has started swinging so he'll be back by the end of the year. Chapman is more worrisome because he dealt with the bad knee all year and then no longer could.

Sanchez looked like an all star barely 12 months ago. Now he is an awful defensive catcher who needs a hot streak to hit 200. Their youth movement has taken a hit, and Severino hasn't looked the same since the break either. I don't know what to say about Bird going forward, do you bring him back, and see if your first baseman hits 200 for a whole season again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
