^^^Rick, don't forget the NTCs too.
...and when the comment was made to us that we should be happy if CC gives up runs in 6 innings, did you in any way take that as "tongue in cheek"?

Of course not & yeah there were also those wonderful NTC that Cashman handed out. But hell he's a great GM.

^^^that's how I read it too...a person makes a statement that is deemed as a serious one by others, and never once claims it was simply a joke....and then down the road that same person suddenly claims "Oh, I was only kidding".
...yeah, that's the ticket.

No, here's "the ticket".......YOU were the one who misquoted me by saying-
"..what the hell does Lester have to do with this?...but since you brought it up, I seem to remember someone saying that CC giving up 4 runs over 6-7 innings should be acceptable."
I said SEVEN (7) INNINGS in my original hypothetical question....is "HYPOTHETICAL" an accurate adjective?
I thought so.
Call it whatever you like...but don't forget to include YOU got my wording wrong. And to put it into perspective, which is why I raised the question-- having a SP who could "guarantee" 7 IP and 4 ER in every start would- IMO, be an asset to a team as a back end of the rotation SP because he would would give you innings AND you would be ensured the vast majority of the time of having to cover just two innings in EVERY ONE of his starts....which over the long season would benefit the team - IMO......unless you can realistically expect better from most teams....and of course most A.L. teams should be expected to get at least 4 runs in quite a few games.
Think it over,....ask for help if you'd like.
But of course, when I DID raise the question, you were quick to say the Yanks didn't sign CC to be a back end of the rotation SP.....lmao....lmao....as if YOU and the Yanks actually expected CC to be a top end of the rotation SP coming off knee surgery and having a disappointing 2013 season which was his LAST full season.
Lmao!
Most who visit this board are well aware of your cheesy cheap shot semantic gymnastics.
Fortunately, there are other grownups in the room who don't like to sit on your lap.
Lol

It gets to the point that I don't even think you guys know what you're bickering about.

Just for a bit of perspective, the Cubs looking to possibly get to and win their first WS in a long time have sent their top two SP to the mound in the NLCS and neither one has allowed less than 4 ER while pitching less than 7 IP...and of course this should not be acceptable from your top two SP......but I wasn't talking about a #1-2 SP when I mentioned 2015 CC....in my hypothetical (fair enough?) question way back during the reg season.
Okay, I'm all done with this one.

Hey debate all night long if you enjoy it. I'm just saying that in terms of the conversation I don't see the point of comparing the Yankees to any of these playoff teams. Weird things happen in the playoffs. It's the nature of the beast.

With the exception of Houston and Texas....I DO believe every team in the 2015 playoffs are better than the Yanks.
I won't quibble over Texas and Houston...give or take a game "here or there".
My opinion, next year is put up or shut-up for Cashman.
I DO want to see a couple more of the kids earn a spot on the big team....but you know.. the MGR does have a say in which players on the bubble he breaks ST camp with - I personally am hoping and rooting for Heathcott to stay healthy and win the 4th outfield spot with an eye on overtaking Gardy(?)...... and of course Refsnyder at 2b and just maybe some farmhand SP making some noise.......Judge could be a factor (who knows, he struggled last year at AAA).....Severino....
Have to admit, I am already curious as to how the Yanks will handle the Arod,Tex and BIRD situation....
Long way off....
I guess this is what the fans of the "other teams" do during the playoffs.
Yeesh.
