hawk Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 3-0. I don't usually follow this early in the season, and I can't watch with cutting the cord; however, this Cabrera kid seems like the MVP this series. Why is Torres still a Yankee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 They still need a closer. I think that will be a move they make this year. They can be dominant, I just don't trust Holmes closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, why did it take acquiring Soto for other Yankees to focus on just spraying line drives instead of swinging out of their shoes? This organization and their hitting philosophy for the last 10 years has been a horrible mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Juan Soto is incredible. The culture change is palpable. Berti looks like a player too. So nice to not have to watch Donaldson and Hicks. Need a closer though; I’m not confident in Clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was Soto but more Judge telling management that what they were looking at analytically needed to change. it is a good start. They will have their downs just hopefully not the two three week slumps that we have seen over the past 7, 8 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Now imagine this team with a healthy Cole and a co-ace like Blake Snell/Corbin Burnes. Thats why I was screaming for a co-ace in the offseason. This team is good, they just need a cherry or 2 on top to finish it off. Hal pinching pennies due to a luxury tax hit was a joke. The time is now, guy.

chirorob Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 15 hours ago, Rich Thornburgh said: Can’t argue with the results but I’m a little concerned about the bullpen getting overworked in the long run. Yes an no. Early in the season, most starters aren't going more than 5-6, and the reality most starters now are just 6 inning guys at best, that's part of the value of Cole. It's crazy, only 5 pitchers in all of MLB went 200 innings last year. Just 10 years ago (not back in the day) you had 10 pitchers over 213 innings, all which would have led the league in innings last year. That being said, I'm always worried about killing the bullpen, the AAA has to have almost a backup bullpen ready, as pen guys get hurt all the time.

There's still 158 games to go, every team has 4 game winning streaks, and 4 game losing streaks. I think for the Yanks it's important just so they don't have to hear all year about not being able to win in Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate this new age nonsense in baseball with starters only pitching 4 innings.

Rhg1084 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 This team looks locked and loaded after starting 5-0. Early season observation is that Volpe is transitioning to an All Star year 2 and should be moved to leadoff. Obviously we need more pitching if they want to be serious contenders for World Series. Hopefully Cole is able to come back and then trade for a guy like Shane Bieber. But so far so good! Oh and just give Soto the blank check now get it over with.

Barton Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 No question this team is decent but they still need some major tweaks IMO. Gleyber is not a sparkplug leadoff hitter type. He's not a grind it out, foul pitches off, long at bats, draws walks type guy. He's also pretty slow. Too soon to bump Volpe up but so far he looks good. Caleb durbin is raking in the minors. Also, Stanton is possibly shot. If this continues another month+, then Hal needs to suck it up and unload him. Eat the $. Show you are serious about winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga said on Saturday that he has a torn UCL and needs season-ending surgery. He said that it will not be Tommy John surgery and the expected recovery is 10-12 months. Dr. Keith Meister will perform the procedure.
