Well Played Mauer posted:Things I'd like to see the Yanks do, outside of major FA acquisitions: Hell no. Walker could have probably been fine if he played every day last year, but we saw what happened when he didn't, and he won't play every day in 2019 either. If the Yankees can't beat his numbers with an internal option they're hosed. Kevlar v2.0 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHr8NxA8raw Oh my God the ending one is amazing.

STAC Goat posted:Your logic confuses me. I mostly agree that he's preferable as a starter than a utility guy but I thought the idea was that with DiDi gone he WOULD be the 2B starter with Torres moving to SS? Oh, yeah I guess I assume they're going to keep Torres at 2B and plug SS rather than move him and plug 2B, which is probably dumb because a good SS is harder to find.

Something like a full point of Kershaw's ERA is due to his replacement letting all of his inherited runners score, even before Madson's epic shittery this year.

Sydin posted:I'm sure it's also in his head a bit, and really how could it not be? He's been to the post season eight times, is one of the best pitchers of his generation on one of the best and richest teams in baseball, and he's got mediocre performance and no rings to show for it. Every time he gets back there the narrative immediately becomes "can Kershaw not suck in the postseason this year????" You'd have to be a goddamn enlightened monk to not have a chip on your shoulder and get a little too psyched up to be perfect and shut those fuckers up forever. After Game 7 last year he said "Maybe one of these days I won’t fail" in a post-game interview which is some seriously  stuff.

I don't really give a poo poo about Marlins Man either way, he's just a dude who buys nice seats for a lot of games. His self-aggrandizing poo poo about being a philanthropist and whatever is hilariously dumb though.

Earlier this year there was a spate of reporters complaining about how they preferred the games to end earlier because of their filing deadlines and it was the most tone-deaf, unrelatable complaint possible.

Big Mean Jerk posted:If they flame out in the ALDS again next year, my guess is they'll gut the team further and just keep stringing Kluber and Lindor along before entering full rebuild mode in 2022. The Tweet is oddly worded but implies that Lindor and Ramirez are the only guys not on the block right now. mcmagic posted:Yankees should be all over Kluber and Carrasco.

Pancakes posted:Giolito is looking more and more like a bust (although he seems like an awesome guy) but López and Rodon were putting up some decent outings and Fry seems like a decent bullpen arm. I always thought Giolito was way overrated as a prospect, I'm never glad to be right about those types of things, though.

She's the Senior Vice-President for Baseball Operations for the league, not the Assistant To The Regional Manager. Her getting a GM job would obviously be a big deal but it's not like she doesn't already have a high-ranking position in the sport.
