Game Thread Wednesday 6/15/16 Yankees @ Rockies 3:10PM

The real question about this Yankee organization is............
Why does Cashman et.al. have yearly difficulty in developing home grown talent.
It is apparent they cannot develop talent unlike other organizations. When did
Yankees last develop a power hitting OF with a strong arm? a power hitting C?
a skilled 3B? a NO.1 or 2 starting pitcher who can go 7/8 or CG?

And yet this organization charges $2,675.00 for a premium box seat
for one game!

I would bet my life that Yankee management is rated in the lower
echelon of team's baseball developmental programs.

I've mentioned this a few times. The Yankee farm system is not rated very well at all. In fairness I do appreciate nearly two decades where they made the playoffs pretty much every year. That being said more often than not this organization has written checks as opposed to finding a developing young talent.

I didn't even know they were playing at 3PM. Just saw they're down 5-2.

I've had trouble with Rocky Mt. time since I was a kid. My Grandparents lived 10 miles east of it, and 1 hr later. Would visit relatives, and travel back n forth in time, a 1 hr trip across the border from KS to CO., is a 2 hr trip. Then one arrives back home in Western KS, at the same time they left their CO. relatives house.

I still mis=calculate the simple one hr difference, yet thought: ok, Rick said 'NOTE game time', so I thought, ok 4:15-4:3o PST, by the time the TV was turned on the game was over...

wtf= I know I can't be the only one, who gets confused over Rocky Mt. Time, when half the state has no clue what time it is, other than 4:20 pm. Maybe they should switch mt range names, with the Smokies....

...Chapman, Miller, Gardner, Beltran, Eovaldi should bring a good return.

they were talking about Miller being the difference maker, if he were a Cub. I think they could be right. The Cubs, a Miller away from a World Series? I'd hate to see leave. I'd trade both Aroldis and Betances over Miller...I wonder what the Cubs would offer in return??? There top 8 Prospects look enticing...
