Paul Zuvella posted:Hits are an ok stat in the sense that home runs are hits. But since Triples are harder to hit than HRs, does this mean Triples are better than dingers? If so, would we even want to live in that world? mcmagic posted:Better than hits... I'm not arguing that Stanton is having a bad year.. He's not, he's been fine. I'm just commenting on the optics of some of his AB's that are a bit rough. They should move him in the order so the guys in front of him have lower OBPs to lower his GIDP rate. Make it happen Boone.

Inspector_666 posted:There's no way the Yankees are serious about Machado. He doesn't want to play 3B, and there's no way the Yankees are going to start him at SS over Didi. Or the Yankees trying to drive up his price for any other AL contender who is interested. That's my guess, because that trade makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever.

mcmagic posted:The last thing the Yankees need is more righty power. Also, Bird's D has been just as bad as Andujar's and I don't see you all over him... It makes zero sense to give up multiple elite level prospects for a rental player you don't even need. If they have such a hardon for Machado they could get him in the offseason (which would also be moronic since what they will need in the offseason is pitching.) I think the general consensus is that if there is a trade to the Yanks, it will include signing an extension as part of the deal. I still don't like it, but if it somehow gets done *and* we still get some pitching, then I will be less confused / grumpy about it.

Furthermore life is pain and all we have to look forward to is death. Eat Arby's.

mcmagic posted:Lack of focus is the same thing as lack of effort. It's not being ready to play in games against teams that they are going to need to beat to win the division. Giving up 9 runs to a AAA lineup while making moronic baserunning plays and having horrific AB's with RISP. It's not good enough. Boone is reading your posts and has given up.

Iodised QQ posted:I'm generally down on bird, but he barely missed 2 homeruns today and then finally got that late one tonight. Combined with some other hard luck outs the past few days. Would really be nice if he started coming on to pick up the slack while judge was out. Bird is like the starters with "Great Stuff™" that just don't seem to get past the third inning much. That swing is a thing of beauty, and he *almost* is mashing the ball all the time. Then just when you are going to give up on him he hits one out and you say "okay, I'll give him another shot."

Inspector_666 posted:While I understand their arguments for this, most of his problems have stemmed from a total lack of FB command, so I'm not sure if throwing more of them will help so much. Gray's problems are thinking too much and thinking too much. When he goes slow, he is terrible.

Dutchy posted:Yeah. I think I remember someone (can't remember if it was Fangraphs or someone on Twitter or whatever) making the argument that not throwing his fastball has possibly hurt his feel for the pitch, which is plausible but a really impossible to prove chicken-and-egg theory. And it's not unprecedented for him to just lose his straight stuff, that's what happened during his no good very bad 2016. Yeah, I like Sonny and hope he can turn it around, if not here, then somewhere because he seems like a guy who is trying his best, but putting too much pressure on himself.

ihatepants posted:I hope they move Andujar to 1st this offseason or convince Harper to sign up for playing there, because Bird is a really disappointing bust. Yeah, it's time for the Bird experiment to end. I wonder what would have happened had he stayed healthy on arrival. Did the fits and starts of injuries and little snippets of playing time lead to this, or was this the guy he was? We will never know!  Andujar to first is an intriguing idea though.
