I do not believe Trashman & the entire Yankees scouting stuff have no clue what outstanding pitching prospects look like.

92-93 mph FB, with a nice curve hard and slow, will not cut it in the MLB. Eventually 92 to 93 mph simply batting practice. Where's the studs throwing 99 to 100 with hard to sliders and Loopin Curves.

Adams with only three hits and 3 earned runs. Not bad not bad at all but I am not impressed. A 5.40 ERA, thus far...

I swear to God Robinson looks like Trashman's bastard son...

Coming off surgery last offseason Matt to remove bone chips from elbow and was still recovering early in the season. Has pitched much better of late as he recovers.

All things considered I though Adams did well, kept his team in the game which is all one could ask for. Certainly the best Yankee Starter this series. But the offense continues to loaf.

^^^^ ....
Thank you Mel I was unaware of the bone chip surgery.
Yeah the kid should be proud; pat him on the back (seriously Chance deserve such), he's done better than the prior 2 SP's Yet I cannot help but feel- mediocrity is the new Norm or good in all MLB. Hopefully Chance has a chance; no pun intended; and he'll put it together. I just wish He had a 96 to 99 mile per hour heater or cut fastball. Looks like the Yanx should have hung on to Eovaldi...

I keep expecting to see the next Doc-K, in the Bronx. I know my expectations are too high but I can't help but dream...

When a ball hits the foul line chalk should flare up into the air...thats a fucking foul ball!!!

Kimbrel looks like a four-legged deformed Saharan Ostrich trying to take a shit on an Arctic day...

I think cuzzi has a date with his k calls. Saying Stanton went when his bat barely went forward without checking first was a disgrace and of course our manager forest gump boo e sits in the dugout eating his box of chocolates. I guess he’s afraid to be thrown out. Nice job not sticking up for your players boonie but unfortunately I think your players are used to it.

 

[cagedlion]

Being shut out by Eovaldi has to be burning Trashman’s brain. Dombrowski got him for a low level
prospect. Trashman gets Lance Lynn from Minnesota for Tyler Austin, a kid with much promise.
I just think the Yankee GM pays more than fellow GMs around the league. And yes, this may be a
generality, but it seems Trashman settles for mediocrity.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

The bird flies: out to end the game. &^^(&*(&(&^)(&*&^%^&*&)

 

[cagedlion]

Well, it turned out to be a one shot deal in top of 9th inning. Yankees left bases loaded with
a chance to do some damage, but all for naught. Team loses Game 3 .....4-1.

Another time, another year result might be different. Sox are coasting on every aspect of the game this year.
It seems they can do no wrong.

Boone was not the man to replace Girardi. If this team craps out Cashman should go.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Cashman has no fear of losing his job unless Steinbrenner gets up one day, realizes what the hell is going on and confronts Cashman Boner is his on hand scapegoat.

[yankeesince59]

...lol...Yanx now 8.5 out of 1st place and now only leading the 2nd WC spot by 5.5 games...but yeah, I shouldn't be concerned.

 

[cagedlion]

To put Shane Robinson, age 33, on the Yankee roster is a complete mystery. But of course, the GM must know something! Or this is the best available OF in the farm system at this time. Is this a concern?

 

[cagedlion]

From Day 1 I did not like this hiring by Trashman. To hire an individual with no managing experience was an
absolute gamble. Early on this season everything was hunky-dory. Now, with the pitching taking a big hit and
injuries mounting, the team is floundering. Just hope the team has enough gas in the tank but at this rate they
must get their act together. The only question is, “Will it be sooner rather than ‘too late’”.

8.5 & no reason to believe they'll be 9.5 back manana, or- the bleeding will stop soon.

Oh wait a minute, break out the homer hanky, take 2 dozen aspirin, wash it down with a bottle of Bourbon & watch the Titanic (movie) endlessly; it'll give ya' hope. Sing Kumbaya for the next 2 months, cuz the Titanic will not sink it is Unsinkable...!!!

Boone's busy re-arranging chairs on Deck of the Titanic while Trashman plays the violin. No wait a minute Trashman is not that capable to play a friggin fiddle.... and oh by the way it's not their fault... this will all turn around cuz these guys are as good; maybe even better than the 61 Yankees.

"I have or had a dream".
Moses David and King Solomon yelled at me so loud I woke up, from my sober drunken dream-like stupor. They yelled so loud the sky shook the moon out of the sky, which turned black. The land ruptured and mountains arose out of the oceans and plains. Non-stop explosions of lightning made atomic bombs look like faint embers. Only thing the prophets said was->

<-"Have a little faith for Chrissakes". They're definitely better than Yankees of the sixties and 70s; cuz they've got a more awesomenessessess; and even more loyal fans et al...

I know it's not fair to compare a legendardy surgeon to a candy striper, but Trashman could not carry Gene Michaels bedpan, but you knew that, LOL....

Hang in there Cage, the Masters are at the Whipstaff, and will drive this ship to Yankee Paradise, sooner than later...
In the meantime play this recording through your sleep and you'll wake up a changed and new man...

Have a little faith for Chrissakes. They're definitely better than Yankees of the sixties and 70s; cuz they've got a more awesome pitching staff, coaches, offense, defense, manager, GM & Owner(s) & and even more loyal fans et al...
