Kid batting .095 gets both hits. It's an embarrassment. Had to shut it off before Boone came on.Nope.
Two lousy hits, both of them Rortvedt's.
9 game losing streak.
I haven’t watched in a couple of weeks. The channel hopping was getting ridiculous and the losing streak didn’t help. I’m all in on Cuse football right now.
I make sure I fully experience the lows in order to fully appreciate the highs.
AKA the Horace Clarke era.
Cashing in my Father's Day gift tomorrow. Things were looking pretty good in June when my kids gave me the tickets. Oh well . . . at least we will be stopping on Arthur Ave for dinner on the way out of town.
Like clean up hitter Goancarlo Staton batting .196. They might be better with Mario Mendoza.
An day at the ballpark is wonderful no matter what.
True enough on Stanton. He's not producing, and in the outfield he makes Lonnie Smith look like Gary Pettis. The only way to salvage anything from this year is to get the "kids" some PT.
One of the things that frustrates me about this team (of which there are many) is that I don’t see the help on the horizon. In the mid 90s there were players like Bernie, Mariano, Derek and Jorge coming up. The only one that excites me now is The Martian.
The Yankees have to pay Stanton through 2027 anyway. I am fine with him trying to figure things out over the next month. He does not appear to be standing in the way of any promising young players.
I think Volpe has had a good rookie season and will grow off that. Hard to say what we have with the young pitchers and Peraza and Pereira. Also Spencer Jones and Trey Sweeney are guys to watch.
No idea. With that much invested in him, I think it makes sense to try to make it work (i.e., get him to the point where he is at least a 100 wRC+ guy) before throwing him away and eating all of that money. The guy still generates bat speed and hits the ball extremely hard on the rare occasions he makes contact. With no major prospects in the pipeline, they have nothing to lose by letting him try to figure it out.
They could do like the Mets did with JV and Max and buy a farm system. With 4 more years of control (and the Yanks eating 50%) they could probably get multiple Top-100 guys
I doubt it. Why would an organization give up prospects for Stanton even if he was free? Certainly, they could get more for their prospects somewhere else.
What team would be willing to do that type of deal?Do you really think anyone would give up 1 top 100 prospect for Stanton?
I am the biggest Stanton apologist there is and I wouldn’t.
Of course not, the thought that any team would is ludicrous.
Ha I love the old school names.
