nospk 230 Posted June 3, 2019 You love to brag about the Yankers great history. In 3 playoff series in the past 12 years, the Tigers own them 10 wins to 3. Not even close. Deflect away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,588 Posted June 3, 2019 Just now, crackattack said: Guess which team has played the easiest schedule to date? Let me guess? The Yankees? The question you should be asking is what is their record against the good teams they have played. The AL is full of tomato cans. Everyone gets to play them. I bet you won't answer that though. I'll give you a hint though: It's pretty darn good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Despite being labeled as the reported favorites to land Keuchel, the Yankees seem content to only offer a pro-rated one-year, $17.9 million deal, the on-paper dollars matching the qualifying offer the veteran left-hander turned down from the Houston Astros during the offseason.

crackattack 513 Posted June 8, 2019 Really impressed with Zach Plesac so far. Shut down Boston and NY power lineups, and the White Sox. I know it's a small sample, and the league will catch up, but not bad for an Indiana kid that played his collegiate ball in the MAC. Ball State. Eta: 12th round pick. Good for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,588 Posted June 15, 2019 Yanks have hit the skids. Kinda had the feeling that it wasn't going to last. No confidence in any starting pitcher right now.

I'd imagine when Stanton and Judge get back the Yanks will be sending Frazier and Tauchman(spelling?) down. Release/trade Morales. Or, move some of these pieces to upgrade their pitching/Bullpen. Encarnacion will be a great backup 1st base/alternating DH. He also allows the outfield to alternate from starting to DH. What a great pickup. So many options for the Yankees now.

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted June 21, 2019 Is there a more overrated stat than what has become of OPS? In the homerun age, that is all it measures. That and walks. It was a Moneyball stat. A ton of walks with a smattering of HRs can make someone $330M. 10 PAs with 3 walks and 1-7 with one HR = OPS of .971 = HOF. Really? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand why it's a thing, but I don't pay attention to it. Being disciplined enough to take walks certainly helps the team, but it's not a good measure of actual baseball talent. I still look at batting avg as they key offensive stat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
