I agree with having him skip starts How is Gil doing now, Phil? Second best pitcher? 😅 Keep sending him out to get knocked around and if all goes well he blows his arm out.

bicketybam Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Can we get Volpe out of the leadoff spot? He's not a leadoff hitter and at this point I'm not sure he's even an average MLB hitter. Over hyped. Great fielder, bat is abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Boone saying they don’t think Gil has fatigue. He’s either lying or stupid. He has obvious arm fatigue. His fastball hasn’t had the same explosion the past 4-5 starts. I’m sorry but I just don’t trust that Boone/front office are gonna make the right decisions and get this team a championship.

Yeah let’s replace him with someone like Jahmai Jones or Trent Grisham who doesn’t get on base and can’t steal bases that’s perfect. Or maybe DJ maybe with his .180 BA gets his old job back of leading off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volpe is a tremendous fielder but I'm not sure he will ever be a good hitter. If he can be a 260 hitter, and learn the strike zone a bit better, with his speed and glove, he is a plus player, but he isn't a top of the lineup guy. Plus, you don't want him stealing in front of Soto and Judge. Move him to 7th. Let him create at the bottom of the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 This team needs SIGNIFICANT adjustments, like I said a month ago and some people here didnt want to hear it. They need 2 add impact bats to this lineup and probably an arm too. Even though Bellinger is not having a great year, he's having a solid year for the Cubs. He can play CF and 1B. You can bat him anywhere in the lineup. If they can get him and then a legit infielder on this team, maybe even 2 infielders, then the team will rebound. Otherwise this team is going nowhere. Its too bad we have a GM who doesnt have the guts to make an overhaul to the roster because he knows that puts his name on it and if it backfires, he's gone. Instead they force the same duds in the lineup every game like Gleyber, DJ, Oswaldo etc. Management is why this team hasnt won in the last 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashman isn’t skilled enough to make those types of in season adjustment moves. When we won in 1996 it was a different regime they got Strawberry and Cecil Fielder during the season along with Graeme Jones and David Weathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Yankees have lacked hustle and basic fundamentals since day 1 of Boone becoming the manager. It was evident in his 1st spring training that the team was sloppy. Nothing has changed since that point. Boone is not a leader. He wasn’t as a player, either. Teams take on the personalities of their manager, quite often. Players are now loafing around with their heads in the clouds. It’s a reflection of their manager/front office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Volpe but him walking out that ground ball when he was going from 3rd to home last Friday cost us that game. The kid is a second year player acting like he’s a 38 year old with $400 million in the bank I’m looking forward to football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
