Inspector_666 posted:gently caress Boston's offensive output, man. To be fair, they've faced exactly one elite pitcher all year in Severino (and rocked him). Two if you count Manaea, who no hit them. I don't think they are as good as they've looked offensively. Also related: How is it that the Yankees strength of schedule has been .513 and the Sox has been .510? It seems like the Yankees have had a much harder early season schedule and the Sox have only been playing cupcakes.

LOL @ David Price being scared of the Yankees. Whats more annoying? Sanchez not being able to catch balls or the yankees not being able to get Benentendi out. Who sucks. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 01:45 on May 9, 2018 |

The Yankees defense loving sucks. Edit: also Gardner is toast. I know they never would, but I would bench him once Frazier is healthy. At least drop him in the lineup and lead off Hicks. ihatepants fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 9, 2018 |

It’s just a season long complaint that’s minor if you look at everything as a whole. I think they’re 2nd in baseball in baserunning outs? I’m pretty sure they’re also close to the top still in errors as well.

A lineup that is humming is going to be insanely scary. I'm mostly focused on that because there is no way the pitching keeps holding up like this.

mikeraskol posted:I'm mostly focused on that because there is no way the pitching keeps holding up like this. Why not? Severino is a legit ace and it's not like we haven't seen Tanaka dominate in the past. CC isn't a sub-2.00 ERA guy but he's a sub-4.00 one. Gray and the 5th spot are still up in the air but I'm more than willing to say Gray can pitch to a low-3s ERA. EDIT: I've been mad all year that people have been saying the Yankees rotation is really creaky yet acting like Boston is rock solid. They have Chris Sale, David Price, Drew Pomeranz, Rick Porcello, and Eduardo Rodriguez. Why are people acting like that's 5 elite arms with no injury or performance questions hanging over them? Their bullpen is meh at best outside of Kimbrel. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 9, 2018 |

Yeah, I don't think its unreasonable to see Severino and Tanaka as aces. Neither is a lock but both are clearly capable of it. CC's proven he's a smart pitcher who can adjust and deliver when necessary. Gray's a question but he looks like he's making progress. The fifth spot is a question but that's true on most teams. Like most any team they could use one more lock down starter to make it a killer rotation but no one's really pitching clearly above their heads right now. CC a little maybe, but I think that's debatable.

CC a little maybe, but I think that's debatable. For me, Sevy is an ace until he proves otherwise. CC is performing way over his head but the underlying stuff from the past two years is still there with his elite weak-contact numbers and whatnot. He'll regress and it will probably be an ugly game or two but I think he still ends with a similar line to 2016/17. Also honestly I kind of prefer a guy go 0-1 ER most games and then 5-6 ER in a couple to get to that ~4 ERA. Those 0-1 run games are much more winnable than just constant 4 run ones.

I mean I'd assume he can do roughly his 4.50 ERA that he's been doing regularly and he's definitely pitching at his peak right now. I guess I just meant I don't expect him to fall apart. He'll settle in and throw some clunkers, maybe go through a bad run. But I think he's proven himself as that "savvy veteran" who can weather it and he should do fine as long as he doesn't get hurt or fall off the cliff. Which obvious he could with age or health, but who knows when that happens? Ideally he's #4 and Gray steps into the #3. But for now I'm at peace with it.

I guess I just don't believe in Tanaka as much as you guys, don't trust Gray at all and think CC is going to regress really hard.

I mean, do you think CC has been playing over his head for 2 years now? EDIT: Also I'm not really irked by us posting about this stuff in here since that's what the thread is for, but the baseball world as a whole talks about how the Yankees rotation is "a lot of question marks" like they're the only team like this and it's been annoying me all year. The Astros are the only team in baseball who can look at their stating rotation and say "Yes, all 5 of these guys are amazing and killing it every time out." And if any of them got hurt, I don't think they'd have an easy time replacing them. The only teams that probably feel comfortable with their non-stating depth for injury replacement right now are probably the Braves and Dodgers, and one of those teams is below .500 right now.

I mean, I don't consider Tanaka a full blown "ace." He's more of a #2 to me. But he's clearly capable of putting up ace numbers and having Severino as the #1 makes me as confident in Tanaka as I ever have been. As I said, another proven, top flight arm would shore up the rotation but how many teams couldn't you say the same for? Houston? Washington? Maybe a few others? Teams can always use more pitching. Inspector_666 posted:I mean, do you think CC has been playing over his head for 2 years now? I mean, I think I get what the OP is saying. At some point CC's probably gonna be done and the longer a veteran manages to hang on and fight time the more you start to expect it them to fall off a cliff. But that's no guarantee and we have no idea when or if it will happen. But he's a perfectly solid gamble. I think some fans just get nervous if they don't have guarantees and there's very few of those in baseball. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 9, 2018 |

Inspector_666 posted:I mean, do you think CC has been playing over his head for 2 years now? No, but he certainly has the last 3 starts or so. The Yankees rotation DOES have a lot of question marks. Just because other teams do as well, doesn't negate the fact for us. When people look at a team that is expected to get to the World Series, of course they are going to point out possible flaws.
