Agreed about the pitching but Severino is only 24 and you have a decent bullpen. You need starters just like the Sox. We have Sales and Porcello if he's "on" but seriously can we count on Price ? Eovaldi pitched great last nite but that was a fluke . Pomerantz ? He's garbage going forward after a real nice year last year. We both need to find starters. Serious question : Would you rather lose 16-1 or lose a 4-3 game like tonite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees biggest problem is they rely too heavily on the long ball. They don’t have the diversity in their lineup that the Sox have. The Sox went out and got power, but JD Martinez is a complete hitter unlike someone like Stanton. When they aren’t hitting homeruns their lineup is fairly pedestrian. They need tablesetters and high OBP guys to get on base. The Sox won because they had timely hitting from everyone in the lineups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing how Stanton is going to become the new Arod to some Yankees fans after they barbecued Gary all season long until he became our best player in this playoff series Stanton is not the reason we lost the Yankees starting pitching is not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to sign them. A postseason rotation featuring a way past his prime CC and a decent no. 5 starter Happ has absolutely no shot we were kidding ourselves I want Clayton Kershaw in pinstripes next season.

Thanks Carl. I have a tendency to overlook E Rod. I like your analysis of the NYY vs the Sox. JD hits tons of homers but also has a .330 batting ave. and a .400 OBP. to go with his 130 RBI's. He even hit .357 for the series to Stantons .238. Sox attack is nicely balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philc1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If you sign Kershaw you literally only need him to make 5-6 starts in the playoffs he doesn’t need to be a 20 game winner next 10 years for the contract to make sense our offense is so good we could make an ok pitcher like Jordan Montgomery a 20 game winner in the regular season Keep rationalizing us not signing a Kershaw because without him we are not ever getting past Houston or Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His back has been degenerating and is costing him more time each year. The Dodgers have been more careful giving him time between starts also. Any contract of more than 3-4 years is a risky one, fraught with diminishing returns. When he is healthy, he is a different pitcher than when he was at his peak.

In the playoffs, I trust Eovaldi over Price. That Price signing was not nearly as bad as Darvish or Ellsbury, but it's not good. The thing with Stanton and Judge and Sanchez is you have 3 right handed bats who strike out a lot. Stanton for the most part looked like he didn't have a clue. They really need a LF bat, even more so with Gardner's advanced age. It's just Didi and Hicks, and Hicks tends to get dinged a lot (this was his healthiest year).

There is also a difference from pitching in the NL West to the AL east, the parks are smaller. He is a 1st ballot HOF player, but not anymore, and if he wants 8 years at 30 per, I just pass.

My belief is that the new ace of the Dodger staff is Buehler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just differ with you that Kershaw will be that player going forward. It could be that I work with people with back injuries for a living, what he has will not improve as he gets older, and I am hesitant to sign someone with that. If it's a 3-4 year deal, who cares.
