Kccitystar Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just wanted to say that yes, I'm aware of the ongoing allegations against Trevor Bauer. Given the details that will likely come out in the coming days, if he never wears another baseball uniform again, I will not miss seeing him on the mound. An absolute monster outside of the sport.

Jim825 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 4 walks, a hit batsman and Ohtani can’t make it out of the first inning??!! KC - I’m sure you weren’t expecting that when you got to the ballpark tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to tonight, he had the 3rd best WHIP on the Angels and the best amongst their starters. And he throws 6 different pitch types and has been known to be in the upper 90's with his FB. Ya, I think he's actually a pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the end, it didn’t matter since the Angels scored 7 runs in the 9th to win the game 11-8. That was brutal. I hope KC didn’t stay at the game until after 1 a.m. to watch the bullpen meltdown. After the late game, they now have to play again today at 1:05 p.m. Let’s see if the Yankees can shake off the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch games I attend to completion, or at least until I'm out of chicken tenders and fries for the game. In this case, it was way too hot/humid and post-rain delay it was really sticky weather. I figured I'd go through all that to see the team seal a win, but we knew they'd lose considering they only scored 1 run after tagging Ohtani for 7 in the first. It's supposed to rain today so I'm not sure if that 1:05 game will even be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 now I hope Steinbrenner/Cashman are in selling mode after last night's debacle. they just keep slip, sliding, away.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 And I know he was responsible for the runners, but Ohtani doesn't get nailed for 7 runs if Slegers would've done his job. Although LeMahieu is very clutch, though that poke down the 1st base line was a bit lucky. Ohtani will rebound I'm sure. In the meantime, remains "fun" listening to Phillies broadcasts. Here, let me give you an example of the whimsical Tom McCarthy first. McCutchen fades back to try to play a ball hit off the top of the fence and on the replay, McCarthy is commenting on whether he lost his earring or not. No, that's not a typo. Couple that with John Kruk who you can actually hear moaning during dribbler hits by the Marlins ... actually moaning as the ball is in play. These are professional broadcasters, people.

To be honest it gives us some level of depth considering we now have one of the fastest guys in baseball that can cover CF instead of Gardner (see above) and he can go back to platooning in LF with Frazier, and Andujar can go back to playing his natural position (3B). His ability to put the bat on the ball is secondary compared the peace of mind knowing we have one less defensive liability on the field.

He also could be trade bait. Why not? This team is going nowhere and that’s just how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are not going to give us anyone of value. Execs in the league say our team is too slow, not as athletic, and the series where we got swept by the Red Sox kind of exposed the type of team we really are. We're not going to be a playoff caliber team for a really long time that a "retooling" can't fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that and if i were them I would begin to trade away players but not for a quick fix but rather for the long haul. Judge should be the first to go and I don't accept that guy being the face of the franchise. Well, then again maybe he is and that is why so much work needs to be done in order to be a competitive team again. You HAVE TO start somewhere.

Kinda want to try and keep the thread from being continuous talk about the Yankees, but Aaron Judge is going to be 30 next year and will be a free agent when the season ends. The Yankees can try to retain him, but the only way I and I think the fanbase can and should support this move is if he stays healthy both this season and the next one, as that would prove he's worked on his conditioning as that was a problem for him in earlier years. I've been advocating that the team stop trying to find reclamation projects and just let the kids in AAA play who are mashing in Scranton though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has something to say about a game last night or one of tonight's match-ups then they should jump in. No big deal. Posts will not be ignored if they have nothing to do with the Yanks. And Gordo I am talking directly at you right now. Nothing seems to be good enough for you. First it was a big problem with what you saw as bitching, complaining, moaning, etc about the Yankees and you didn't like that. Now after talking about a roster move they made and who should be traded you have a problem with that. There was no bitching, complaining or moaning there. Just questioning out loud why they went out and got another right-handed bat. I've toned down the disgust that I have for this team. I still have it and after the way they lost to the Angels the other night I even have more of it at the moment. But it makes no sense for me to come in here night after night to remind people how I feel about them right now. Regulars of the forum know exactly how I feel about this team and it isn't good. So I am damned if I complain and scream about them and damned if I don't. Why don't you just concentrate on critiquing the Phillies broadcasting team and not worry about if the Yankees are talked about or not?

Gordo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Any team out there interested in a 245 lb. lefty who throws 100 mph, even in the strike zone once in a while? We'll even throw in a snack stipend. Caution: would only use in low leverage situations from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
