The Yankees had the assets to make a move on one or two of them, including the guy they lost to last night. They chose to stand pat and that could be their downfall....who knows. I don’t know if any of the pitchers they could have gotten at the deadline would have helped them last night. It’s been long known Greinke has refused to come to the Yankees because of his anxiety issues, so he wasn’t an option. Cashman’s mistake wasn’t sitting out the deadline this year, it’s been whiffing on starting pitchers the past couple of years. They could have had Verlander but didn’t want to spend the money, they could have had Cole but didn’t want to give up Andujar and Frazier, could have had Corbin, etc. etc. And while it’s true that pitching hasn’t really been their downfall so far, hitting dry spells in the playoffs are predictable. Almost every year every team in the postseason goes on some 0-10 with RISP drought. It’s the nature of condensing a 162 game season into a best of 5 or 7 sample size. Great starting pitchers are generally more consistent, and it’s just a different mindset for the team when you’re throwing a Gerrit Cole out there vs a James Paxton or spring training version Severino and planning to get 4+ innings out of your bullpen every single game. The Yankees plan necessitates that they walk a tightrope where everything has to go right. The lineup needs to produce against great pitching, the so-so starters need to be good enough, and then 4 or 5 relief pitchers need to be lockdown. Great starting pitching gives a much larger margin for error and Cashman needs to realize that before he wastes this window (which seems large but you never know).

First off Greinke would not wave his NTC to come here. Secondly teams wanted way too much for their pitchers from us. For example, Toronto traded Marcus Stroman to the Mets for decent prospects. You know who they asked for from us? Gleyber Torres ? Then it was reported the Mets turned around and tried to offer him to us for our top prospects. Teams were essentially blocking us from improving by dicking around 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pick up another ace to compliment Tanaka and we need some small bats that hit singles and doubles and can lay down a good bunt.

SAR I Cole wants to go out west which would be perfect for the Angels. Somehow the Giants are always involved too. Cashman is not going to spend 200 million or more on a pitcher. Is his agent Boras? If so, then it will be 250m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 While we are bitching about how things worked out at the deadline, remember that we were still waiting on Severino, Montgomery, and Betances, with Domingo German dealing. If they got German some rest and had him for these series things could be very different. No reason to get held up at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News flash: all the teams that win these days have a high payroll. Yankees don't even have the highest payroll in baseball. The Red Sox and Cubs are currently spending more of us! Oh and the Nationals are Top 10 in payroll as well as Houston. But yet let's get mad at the Yankees for spending money. So stupid lol Spending money isnt so much the issue, its spending disgusting money thats the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin and I took them over from Shea to the Meadowlands when Hess the Carpetbagger moved them there. Had to give them up when the new Stadium was built. So I've given up a ton of cash to this team as well. Sucks but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOJ Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Pitching wins in OCT. IMHO the Yanks are a flawed team - with poor front line starters. Cashman needs to get some very good starting pitching and stop the Stanton type deals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta get guys who can just get a clutch hit, or put the ball in play, can't have 8 guys on a lineup all swinging for the fences on every pitch against Playoff/Dominant pitching. Oh, and sh*tcan Stanton. Nice guy, model citizen when he was in Miami, but dude just isn't clutch, and getting blown up so bad a few years ago changed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
