2021 Yankees Season

[Chip]

I honestly think they would have to throw someone in to the trade like they did with The Adam O trade to the Sox. If you were another team, one that doesn't burn money, would you trade for him right now? I wouldn't. No team in contention would. They would ask, why would the Yankees who are still very much in a playoff hunt, trade him? I just don't think anyone would trade for him, certainly no bad team, and I don't think the yanks would give up anything with him to make that work. Better to try and fix him.

It would only be a contender who finds themselves in a pinch. Yankees are 8.5 games back, that’s why they’d trade him. And there’s so many examples of players who fix mental issues after leaving the Bronx, I don’t think that would be anyone’s concern.

Really just depends if a contender thinks he can get them over the top. $16M is steep for a closer but it’s only one more year, it’s the worst amount in the world.

When people say trade Stanton, that’s when I really laugh. Sure, just $189M and 6 more years for a DH, the suitors are just lining up!

Cole back out for the 9th...

 

[rrlbees]

Cole is the right decision.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He ain't coming out.

 

[bpo57]

B-R-U-T-A-L call on that "check" swing.

 

[rrlbees]

Huge

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Gerrit Freakin Cole !!!

 

[Chip]

Holy s*** what an outing by Cole.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He can take the rest of the week off.

 

[rrlbees]

He gave Boone a big screw you.

What the hell was Boone thinking? You ride the guy who is cruising for 8-2/3 and then you're going to take him out? MLB managers - a strange breed.

B-R-U-T-A-L call on that "check" swing.

And yet, no calls for the ump to be suspended like in the Sox game a few weeks back.

Score one for old school baseball.

Boone aged 20 years watching that pitch count.

Great screw you Altuve by Judge too.

Check swings are more often called on your body movement than whether you attempted to strike the ball.I agree it was a bad call, but check swings are almost impossible to get right in real time.

 

[Cowtown]

1-0 SO, 129 pitches, 3 hits, 12 K's, and still bringing it 99 in the 9th. Man, that was a statement.

That's why you defer to the first or third base umpire. For the HP ump to call that was crazy.

Base umpires get them wrong half the time.

 

[bpo57]

Base umpires get them wrong half the time.

I guess the home plate umpire beat the first base ump to it then. That was a very bad call in a critical spot.

Jesus man…

That post was for your enjoyment. Some fan thought the umpire should be suspended in the Red Sox /Yankee game a few weeks back. Didn't see a jesus man then, though. . If we started doing that, as you know, there would be no umps.
