Game Thread Yankees vs. Mariners Friday 9/7/18, 10:10 pm

^^^^^exactly. We’ve been scammed by Trashman & his subsidiary yes men....from day 1
of this baseball season. There has been a trail of infielders brought in for “insurance”......
for what? I have no idea, except they must have thought some of these guys could be turned
into pitchers...down the road...since no one has any idea what comprises a good starting
pitcher or for that matter, an adequate reliever.

This GM keeps bringing in “new” faces showing the fan base he’s doing his job.....it is all haphazard mumble jumbo. It’s like throwing everything up against the wall, and it will all fall into place. Somewhere in July the pieces still have not fallen into place.

Enuf of the GM lambasting. One apprehension about tonight....I do not want to see the Yankees.get
into a bases loaded no one out/ one out situation. It would definitely send me over the edge!
Too many times this year the Yankees have come up empty. I believe they have scored 5 times
out of 52 attempts. Ouch!

Btw- welcome aboard Roy. It's nice to see a new member. I hope you enjoy your time here. It's not near the size of the old ESPN (BS-PN) board; BUT imho, there is some brilliant insightful input on this board.....

You will often see discussion, buzz, input and insight on topics and discourse; a week or weeks prior to the Press ever picking up on these issues...

Hope You Enjoy this Board....

Thank you. I recognize a lot of your names. I used to post on ESPN ( a very long time ago) under the names rodney27 and black_tiger.

 

[roywhite6]

Which Tanaka shows up is still a question, but one thing is for sure Seattle’s Paxton is no slouch on the mound.
Can the offense score runs off Paxton? That’s what I’m hoping.

I know it's pollyanna but...a sweep of Seattle and the Sox being swept by Houston...put's the possibility of the division back in play . Never say die, right?

Sorry Roy I didn't notice there was a new Poster I'm a busy Mom.

It's really been unbelievable how this great group of hitter's can't seem to get that big hit in those situations. Or, even, get a productive out (move the runner with a ground ball, sacrifice fly, etc). I am kind of shocked at how ineffective they've been in those situation's.

McCutchen -RF
Stanton -DH
Hicks -CF
Sanchez -C
Andujar -3B
Voit -1B
Torres -2B
Hechavarria -SS
Gardner -LF

 

[roywhite6]

I wonder if they've given him an eye exam lately. He is just not seeming to pick up the ball; or move to it in a timely manner...

I kid you not I'd seriously put Him in a limo and send "em down to the Garden, day in, day out, during the off-season.....

Have the entire Rangers team shooting 4, 5, 6, 12 pucks by Canucks, at a time, seriously....
pitié, demander grâce...
corde de veau...

LOL. YES!!! Have the King show him how to defend the 5 hole!

I guess Didi is a defensive replacement or pinch hitter once Paxton is out of the game.

 

[roywhite6]

At present if the Yankees were F



Welcome aboard roywhite6, great screen name honoring a damn fine Yankee Player. Were the New York Yankees Ford Motor Company right now Sanchez is the Edsel, and if I were Boone I'd assign him designated hitter days or as a Righty Pinch Hitter. If they wish to salvage him do it next season. Right now the Yankees need wins and if Sanchez is in there they'll see opportunity knocking. The man has missed too much of the season.

Thank you. Roy was my favorite player growing up...late 60's early 70's...when a .500 season was a huge accomplishment, lol. I recognize your handle from the old ESPN boards. Great seeing you again.

^^^^ .... b-in-g-0- spot on that wall of mosaic splat, and the failure to build a decent Pitching corps since 09, moreso 96-04.

Muy bueno, my exact sentiments when Toe was given a ticket back, on the S/W-Barre Crapuano Train. Either give him a job and play him, or trade him?? Can HE Pitch, Lol...why not? j/k...why not?

call me out if ya' feel like it BUT: Toe, a word on his numbers/play-
Last Year his OBP%= .375/ Lifetime Fldg Pctg: 2nd-.993, SS-.987
2018: 99-AB's in 35 gms: .289- only Andujar and Voit are hitting higher. Judge: .285

His WAR on D and O, nothing amazing, but not bad.

A Jeteresque Spark Plug imho. A Hustler if I ever saw one.

I used to tell my 3 year undefeated LL Yankees, "If you can only give me one thing with this religion, I mean game, give me Hustle; hustle every moment of this prayer, I mean game". And yeah, back then Charlie Hustle was in his prime...
Defense is not bad

Why no Toe when Hech was called, why Walker and Wade when Toe's Fldg is better, his bat too, his hustle endless....WTF- I've been waiting, praying for a Pitching Staff to be built for a decade, both SP's and RP's. Honestly I thought the 10yr 250 Mil $$, All-Nippon Airways 747 Express was a joke. A joke, ya' just don't go there. I'm game for arguing just saying NO to Japanese Pitchers 'til the cows come home bucheried. As for Japanese Lg Hitter, Fk Yeah bring 'em on....

Rob you are crazy.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Never say die, right?

Never Ever, even when you see your body when your head is rolling on the ground...

then again when the horse is dead make hamburger out of it,

or are dead horses like grasshoppers in an ice cube, which come back to life??? In that case pray....

Roy, any other year I’d be right there with you on this. The injuries and the tailspin this club has been
experiencing of late may be too much too overcome. I’m still amazed where this team is with everything
going on.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Rob you are crazy.

ok, ya' asked for it. Not sure why Paul Simon's going thru my head?
Or "Call Me Al". I get the "Here come the brides" it's Seattle ....
"I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years"


Wonder if Tank ate the Sushi at Pikes Place, seriously no joking, I would, well not Sushi but Ivars on the Sea. My favorite eatery in the 60's in all of Seattle...

Judge taking Batting Practice Tonight he had a smile on his face he must be feeling better.

 

[cagedlion]

Rob, don’t you change one iota. You stay ‘crazy’! Just a little secret. In my family I’m called the’ the crazy one’.........
the one who always questions everthing.

Pink Hatters losing but can it hold up against The Astros.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Boston now getting their asses handed to them by Houston 6-3. Yankees have to find a way to win this game, Oakland draws a shit team like Texas.
