Game Thread Yankees vs. Red sox 4/11/15 1:05PM

...difference in the game, aside from the obvious score, the Yanx have struck out 11 times...the Sox, 3 times.

 

[Rick2583]

It was also just a real sloppy game. At time I felt like I was watching the 62 Mets & they were more enjoyable.

 

[cagedlion]

this is how I preface my feelings about this Yankee season and we are
only in the first week. Not looking good at all.

 

[Rick2583]

This would display my frustration.

Sounds good to me- I agree.
And ......although we ARE only in the first, I would say a win tomorrow would help take some first week pressure off. lol

Good thing about the baseball season, unless you're in the final week of the season and you're 5 or more games out, you're still "alive".

Tomorrow, tomorrow, you're only a day away....and the start of a winning streak....hang in there, I know it looks bad.....but.....157 games left and it could ALREADY be tme for the MGR to toss a chair -lol- and air some things out.

I'm more concerned with the sloppy defense and seemingly lackadaisical approach.

We have an idiot at second who should be bagging groceries and the ass we paid $5 million to is worse.

 

[blgridesagain]

And its a shame this kid Warren is going to get the loss, giving up only 1 earned run in 5 1/3rd

Yes Rick, and we can/should(?) look upon Warren as an early season positive sign with reasonable hopes and ectpectationsn he can improve and become a valuable asset to the SP as a #5 SP.

Sadly as was proven today a pitcher is only as good as the offense that supports him.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ someone gets it.

Yep, could be also be possible our pitchers by and large will ultimately benefit and help the team over the course of the full season and may not require a lot of runs to help the team games because.....I just have to believe as the weather warms up, this CURRENT Yankee lineup/batters will score more runs off the other team's # 3-5 SP.

Let's face it, there aren't too many all -world SP staffs..... Lol.
Time will tell whether or not "our" lineup will get the best of the other teams' soft under belly SP staffs over the long haul, AND whether/how our pitchers hold up vs the other guys' lineups over the long haul......Holy Smoke, I've just laid out possibilities over the 162 game, six month season without providing any knee-jeek nasty, negative assumptions.


Sorry to be so pragmatic. I'm kinda kooky that way....lol

 

[yankeesince59]

...lol..."pragmatic"?...uhhh, OK....the "kooky" part I get.

...as far as not providing "predictions", I seem to remember "92 wins".

Cut out the cheap shots and stop putting words in my mouth to try and prove some kind of irrelevant point in order to make you look "good", and me " bad".

I said ....yes I DID, I believe the 2015 Yanks will win "APPROX 90" games ...and then you had the childish nerve to question what I meant by approx 90 games.
And YOU predicted the Yanks to win in the 80's......I could be wrong, I could be right, either way I'll sleep tight...,I'm not so sure about you. Lol

Stop acting like a petty little spoiled brat in a grown up body.

 

[yankeesince59]

...what cheap shots?...what words did I put in your mouth?

...it's all factual and you know it..and I didn't question anything...I quoted you directly, and you know it. Here's what you said; "I said approx 90 wins which means it could also be a couple LESS or more wins."...your exact words....would you like the link?


...and "petty"?...hardly.

Lol, so when did "approx" 90 wins become an exact number such as the 92 total which YOU submitted? Think about it.

Have YOU given an EXACT number of wins you expect from the Yankees?
How about the EXACT number of wins the division winner will have?

You DID put words in my mouth by citing a precise number of wins (92) which you claim I said.

Now let's move on.....I'm well aware my assessment of this Yankee team could eventually be wrong/mistaken..... I have/had my opinion of expectations, and so have you.

GO YANKS!

 

[Messiah717]

Unless money is on the line who really cares.

 

[Rick2583]

The Yankees will be lucky if they finish at 500 PERIOD!

 

[blgridesagain]

The Yankees will be lucky if they finish at 500 PERIOD!

Okay, fine and dandy. I wish I could say "good luck" but I'm kinda expecting and hoping for a few more wins,

 

[blgridesagain]

Unless money is on the line who really cares.

Well, now that you've mentioned it, that really is the bottom line, but not too many people can be thrilled when they're assumptions/ opinions and predictions regarding "numbers" are incorrectly injected into the equation.

And this applies to other aspects of life and "negotiations".

But, yes, I agree, in this case it's not going to hurt in the wallet.....possibly a credibility /knowledge issue but no bearing on the almighty buck on this issue.


Thumbs up!

Bottom line, All Yankee fans regardless of generations, must be concern with the first 5 games. The trend as we see it could be reality. If I had to name players that would have an outstanding 2015, I would feel comfortable with about 2 or 3. Pineda, Ellsbury and Miller. And with 2 of the 3 facing health questions always, how can that translate to a winning season. I feel that a 500 Season would be almost over achieving for this bunch and more troublesome is that how the organization couldn't or should I say, wouldn't admit to it.

 

[Rick2583]

I think in the season to end all seasons (1998) we also started 1-4 but looking at that lineup I wasn't worried. That team was just to good (as was proven) to think they wouldn't turn things around. This current team shows no signs of being a competing team this year.

 

[yankeesince59]

Lol, so when did "approx" 90 wins become an exact number such as the 92 total which YOU submitted?

...uhhm, again, you said it yourself, dumbass...90 + "a couple more")(your words) = as many as 92. Are you now disputing what you said yourself?

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Sadly as was proven today a pitcher is only as good as the offense that supports him.

and defense also, of course.....!

I disagree (.500 season over achieving) ....and as the saying goes:
Wanna bet? lol, Jes kiddin'.
