How does he give up 3 HR in an inning to the Mariners? 15 runs in his last 13 innings. Does anyone here trust Cole to be a shutdown pitcher in the postseason? I don’t. **** him, he took his 324 million over 9 years, lost the sticky stuff and now he’s garbage. What a waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Again resting 1 of your best players right before a day off. At some point, the front office/coaching staff needs to have a sense of urgency here and realize how important home field advantage is. And stop playing Aaron Hicks. Trot out your best lineup every day. Enough already. They should consider Kiner at 3B and calling up 1 of the SS prospects, IMO. Donaldson is trying to hard. Doesnt seem like a NY player.

Barton Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Cole needs to stop slumping his freakin shoulders and buckling his knees after he gives up home runs. Jesus. Somebody on the team needs to tell him to grow some balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Cole fleeced the front office. He’s been a number 2-3 starter since being caught with Spidertack. Figures the one time since Sabathia they pay up for an ace he’s a fraud. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Food for thought Cole ERA with Higgy. 5.97 Cole ERA with Trevino 2.74 In 50 more innings with Trevino he has given up 2 more runs than when Higgy is catching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Knock Cole all you want its justifiable but what will kill this team in the long run is that it can't hit good pitching. The trades Cashman made (Excluding the Benintendi) were criminal. Trading Monty for that oft injured scrub Bader could have been the worst trade I have seen in a long time along with trading 4 prospects including JP Sears . This team needed to sign one hitter at the break and they didn't do it and it seems to me Cashman just destroyed the chemistry of a team playing red hot baseball. Cashman is NOT a playoff GM never has been never will be and that's really what counts. This team will always be in or close to the playoffs due to the fact they can beat up on inferior teams but when it comes to making a move at the all star break Cashman always get beat out by some other team any idiot can field a good team with the highest payroll in baseball Cashman is a disgrace. If any Yankee fan thinks this team can beat the Astro's they are kidding themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Donaldson, who almost got traded at the deadline because he has been a bust, batted 3rd last night. WTF? Aaron Hicks hasnt had a hit in 2 weeks.........and plays every day. Gleyber, another dissapointment....batted cleanup. They need to cut this nonsense out. Donaldson needs to bat 7-9 and Hicks should be DFA'd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Should have sold the farm for Soto because this lineup is DOA unless Judge and Stanton are mashing. When did this organization stop going balls out to win? Rhetorical question, probably when George died. It’s highly frustrating being a “contender” but knowing they’re always a step or two behind the really elite teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they were down 2 pitchers they could have brought up Sears who was pitching lights out and brought up some top prospects for the playoff run pitchers teams and hitters have not seen much of yet. Instead we traded Monty and Sears and other Bullpen prospects for a pack of scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Again with the anti clutch Donaldson and Gleyber hitting 4-5. Jesus. Seen any championship teams with a .219 hitter batting cleanup? Me neither. Yankees could easily shift Kiner to 3B, cut Donaldson and bring up 1 of the SS prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you just know there's almost no chance they make this move too. They are more concerned about options to prevent them hitting free agency earlier, instead of just fielding the best possible team.

Maxman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I am concerned by this streak but not super concerned. They aren't a shoe in to win it all but it can happen. Holmes blowing another save sucks, all eyes will be on him hope he locks things down from here on out. Chapman is starting to look better. Would be great to have him as a late inning situational guy and keep Holmes as the closer. The lineup leaves so much to be desired right now. When Stanton and Rizzo get back Donaldson needs to go to the bench. So the Infield is set. DJ - 3B Judge - RF Rizzo - 1B Stanton - DH Torres - 2B Benintendi - LF Trevino - C But what about SS and CF? As was mentioned above, i'd love to call the kid up from AAA right now and see what he can do. And they have to put Hicks back in RF, gonna burn him out. Bader going to play full time? Where are Carpenters at bats going to come from? Hicks? When everyone is healthy they can play situational lineups. I like the postseason rotation IF letting Severino work back up inning count through the minors works. Wouldn't have been how I would have done it. But if you go Nester at the 4 spot in the playoffs you are in good shape. Especially with the 1 \ 2 seed advantage and not having to play that 2 out of 3 series. There is time to sort this out, I just hope they get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wit Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hoping for a little mini winning streak here against a good Seattle team. The team had a meeting with Boone and they actually won afterwards, and guys bats (donaldson and Beni) may be waking up. we shall see. They need one more good streak to end up with the best record in the AL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet9 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Umpire totally missed strike 3 and now the Yanks are down again.

Barton Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Somebody needs to tell the Yankees they cant just punt on August and that home field advantage is important START FIELDING THE BEST TEAM EVERY DAY Abreu is in there pitching, blowing game after game, while Marinaccio and Schmidt are in the minors - both infinitely better than Abreu. You just cant make this stuff up. And now they trade for Benintendi, who starts hitting the ball really well the past few days, and decide they cant start him vs a LHP. The roster mismanagement year after year is just mind boggling. I havent order the direct TV game package in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEndTheSuffering Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Zero clutch hitting on this team.

Gleyber and Donaldson are hitting about .200 w.RISP ---- Yankees bat them 4th and 5th every night. You cant make this stuff up. Front office are the ones making these lineups. They tell Boone what to do. I blame Cashman 100%. Move up Benintendi. Play anyone besides Hicks. Drop Donaldson and Gleyber down the lineup. Move up Trivino. and IKF. Seems pretty logical to put you worse hitters further down the lineup. Cashman has no clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
