C - McCann (280)
2B - Castro (290)

[totus44]

I like a ARod & Headley free lineup. Too bad they can't hit with RISP.....

 

[Rick2583]

They should flip flop Ackley & Torreyes.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

They should flip flop Ackley & Torreyes.

Now why would they want those two too flip and flop like flounder...pre-game show?

 

[Lillie]

Well it's obvious Aroid isn't in the Lineup because he is too busy posting pictures on Twitter.

 

[Rick2583]

Its amazing how much more balanced the lineup looks without Headley & A-Rod in there. I just hope it leads to better offense.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

No matter what time the game starts this group arrives early fucking up.

 

[yankeesince59]

...so much for the Severino hype.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Looks like Sevey took pitching lessons from Sabathia prior to tonights game. This team couldn't catch a bus let alone come back from 4-0 unless a miracle happens. Really shameful the way this team is merely going through the motions.

 

[Rick2583]

All we can hope for now is a rain out.

 

[yankeesince59]

...that Mazara kid for Texas is gonna be a very good player for a very long time. (just turned 21)

 

[Messiah717]

Severino growing pains for sure.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Another inning ending out for "Bump" %%(*&^^%&^$%$#$%#%#&^$&*

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Smellsbury much like an inning ending GIDP. Leave Ellsbury in Boston when the series ends.

 

[Lillie]

I have no words.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

that last inning, Yanx at bat top of 6th; how many pitches did Griffin throw?

I got up to get a drink, bam bam inning over....wtf-

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Jesus saw this team and just fucking wept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Jesus saw this team and just fucking wept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after all these years, I finally figured it out, thanks to this post of your Michael. Breaking news, Trashman and Tadpole are fist-fighting over who gets to play Judas Iscariot on Broadway......

If King George were alive, he'd kick Hanky's ass, or bend him over his knee, the kid never grew up.....never figured this game out, only the part of throwing millions of bucks at players....big diff b/t the King and His court of low life tadpoles.....he called kids...!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yep, the tadpoles & Cashman are trashing this franchise in a manner equal to the CBS Yankees of 1964. The best parts of the tadpoles ran down Georges leg.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

And guess who is pitching tomorrow! Three guesses first two don't count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Messiah717]

Honestly everyone is pretty much sucking on the mound so the obsession over Sabathia needs to end. He's a fifth starter.

 

[Rick2583]

Just embarrassing.

Like ARod is DH? Keep the has-been in until he breaks down? Great plan.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Like ARod is DH? Keep the has-been in until he breaks down? Great plan.

Revision Y- to original plan, do everything opposite of "the plan"...

A- Call Psychic hotline, for leads on acquisitions, and who should play when and where

B - get rid of young talent

1. fire all scouts who fill out reports on anyone under 32

C -spend more money for 32+ yr old Free Agents (sign for 10 yrs). FA's returning from off season surgery get bonuses, more playing time too.

1. hold out until Harper and Trout are available, then spend entire payroll for decade to follow, on both. Use rookie ball roster to fill the gaps
2. fervently pursue all Scott Bor-ass clients
3. Pay top dollar to players all teams pass on, mediocrity is the new perfection

C - File petition with Commish, to allow dual rosters. Fielder's not required to bat, [allow entire new (2nd) 9 man roster; 1 lineup for hitting, another for fielding].

1. Abolish DL, inactive players can play to this standard set by Hanky

D= From Trashman and Tadpoles secret files: (Comic Books) ***

1. find this guy, and sell the Planet to obtain- "he's real, we saw him on TV commercials, and he's even got his own movies". Hell hire Her also, I hear she she's a hit....

*** nothing wrong with comic books or cb fans, usually most know reality vs fiction, less the 2 clowns running the show, or is Trashman merely Hanky's own personal mascot/fanboy?

 

[yankeesince59]

...Sabathia may be a 5th starter but he's making Ace money ( $25 Mil this year and next) and he's also taking up a roster spot that another pitcher would be more deserving of...so I can see the frustration whenever he pitches.

 

[yankeesince59]

...both pitching (4.47 ERA) and hitting (3.68 runs per game) by the Yanx is among the very worst in MLB.

...if things don't change pretty quickly, Girardi will be fired by the AS break...while Cashman gets another raise and another extension.

 

[Rick2583]

I'd really love to know what Cashman's raise & contract extension was based on.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^it came immediately after the 2014 season...and evidently it was based on the Steins believing he had done such a bang up job up to that point.

...but keep in mind that if you criticize Cashman, you yourself will be criticized...so watch it !

 

[Messiah717]

I'm not in love with Sabathia but what deserving guy? Nova sucks and Mitchell got hurt. Sabathia and the #5 spot are the least of this teams problems.
