Maxman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 7 hours ago, #27TheDominator said: Simple question. Wasn't the excuse for benching Sanchez when Cole pitched that Tapioca was his high school buddy and they were just more comfortable? As far as I can tell, Trevino always catches Cole and I think it started when he was still ostensibly the back-up. 5 hours ago, chirorob said: Sanchez was terrible at calling plays. "Tapioca" is better than Sanchez. Trevino is better than the pudding monster. Gary has more power, but even this year he's only hitting 215ish, and I don't know how much he is catching as compared to being the DH. With the amount of passed balls when Gary is behind the plate they are going to have to start calling it something other than "catcher". 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgy getting hot is great. He does have surprising pop and tonight was great. If they get him producing then they are one outfield spot away from an incredible lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Nice job by this team in the last week. But lets talk about the issues. Because once the starting pitchers fall back to earth and we dont have 4 guys with ERA's under 3.00, this offense is gonna have to score runs more consistently.... What is up with DJ LaMahieu? Nobody is talking about this but I think the Yankees are hiding an injury. He used to stay back on the ball and hit rifle shots to right field. Those hits used to sound like a gun went off. But for the past year and a 1/2, everything is kind of soft contact. Looks like he's not swinging with much power IMO. Hicks and Gallo ---- again these guys need to be replaced with a high end contact hitter like a Kiner Falefa. Benintendi or Bryan Reynolds. Random note: this team lacks a stone cold RBI machine in the middle of the lineup. Right now Judge is superman but what happens if he goes falls back to earth? This lineup has to be upgraded at the trade deadline. Period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lineup has to be upgraded at the trade deadline. Period. DJ got old? I don't know, his first 2 years on the Yanks he hit 327 and 364 (50 game season that one). Since then, he's hit 268 and 256 while slugging under 400. Hey, but he's only signed for 4 more years! Gleyber has improved, hitting 250 ish but sluggin 490, he should hit 25-30 HR this year. Hicks has been bad for 3 years running now, he is just done, there's no reason to think he can turn it around at age 32. Also signed for 3 more years. Gallo is what he is, a career 205 hitter who strikes out a ton and will occasionally hit a mistake for a home run. He's the guy who goes 1-20 in a play off series with 12 strikeouts. If you can replace Hicks and Gallo with 2 just average hitting, 250ish type players, this offense will be so much better. 2 actual, above average hitters? This lineup would be sick. As it is now, they are above average in batting average as a team, adding 2 decent hitters would be huge. Not great players, not all-stars, just 2 decent hitting OF.

Barton Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Crazy comebacks by the Yankees this week but the cracks are starting to show. Starting pitching is coming back to earth and you have a lineup with only 1 batter hitting above .270 1 freakin batter hitting over .270 --- has any team won a World Series in the past 40 years with only 1 guy hitting above .270?? Cmon. Changes need to be made. Gallo and Hicks cannot be starters. Need high end contact hitters. End of story. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicks looked like his was coming around finally (I wasn't holding my breath) and then he flies out and doesn't drive in a big run tonight. Gallo is worse. They need another starter, definitely. Have to go for it this year, it is there for the taking. Outside of a Volpe they need to give up what they have to so they can bring in a big time starter. Even if it is a walk year guy. The bullpen is getting 3 big arms back in Chapman, Loáisiga and Britton. The bullpen is looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Gallo may in fact be the worst hitter in baseball. He doesn't have enough ABs to qualify for the batting race, but if he did he'd be the lowest in baseball. Despite is limited Abs, he is top 10 in total strikeouts.
