Alphonso - " get that asshole out of the line-up."

ReplyDelete...Under Girardi, "doing" should be "going". Sorry, no ability to edit...
Don't worry LBJ; Girardi is an idiot. "Doing" scans just fine. But he did hit a triple in the W.S. and will always be a True Yankee Hero, albeit an idiot.
ReplyDeleteStephen Drew: shit, even I could do that.
ReplyDeleteI say:
ReplyDelete—But Romine's not the answer.
Romine: 258 games caught 152 steal attempts 34 caught stealing 22 percent
Sanchez: 200 games caught 124 steal attempts 44 caught stealing 35 percent
The league average is 28 percent. Meaning we go from a catcher who is 25 percent BETTER than the league at catching runners, to one who is 21 percent WORSE.
Even figuring in the passed balls, that doesn't help much. And when it comes to getting a better game out of the pitchers...
Look, you guys convinced me before: At this point, we can't even trade Sanchez for a Pineda level player. We're sure as hell not going to snap our fingers and get Realmuto.
And even if Romine WERE the answer, we have nobody around to even spell him.
Can't deal him, don't have anybody else. We will just have to fix the son-of-a-bitch.
This is the moment when the Yankees, as an organization, need to take a stand, and not just with Sanchez: The wholesale deterioration of our great young players will stop right now and reverse, dammit, or we're going to go another nine years without winning bupkus.
I believe they told Col. Joshua Chamberlain similar words about holding the left flank of the Union Army at Gettysburg. Only, you know, without the "bupkus."
Hoss, you are right abut the organization needing to take a stand and somehow reverse course on player development. if we don't do that, not only will we not win bupkus, we won't even win the square root of bupkus. yes. it's that bad.
ReplyDeleteSancho did do better under Binders than Ma. Is Binders the Sancho Whisperer? I say hire Binders in the off season to fix Sanchez. The dude is already broken. what harm could it do?
and LBJ? you are so much more than a typo. I am anxiously awaiting your next big splash. hey, here's an idea!
ReplyDeletehow long has it been since duque did a IIH Yankeeography? maybe you two could collaborate on Jogginson Cano? That is long overdue. you guys could really do something killer.
As for players getting along with Boone, I keep getting the notion that Joey Binders lit a fire under Sanchez and got results. Even if it meant embarrassing someone. As for Boone, he's so passive that he couldn't light a cigarette lighter under anyone.
ReplyDeleteLBJ - I love the Yogi comment.
ReplyDeleteHOSS - Joshua Lawerence Chamberlain has always been my hero, and it is pleasing to hear any reference to him. I think he could have played third.
Carvel counter guy: “he comes in every night”
ReplyDeleteBilly Martin: “Just hold him down for a second. I’ll be right there.”
Scott Boras: “let me show you this statistical workup on him”
Hal Steinbrenner: “Huh?”
The Master: “We all KNOW what he’s capable of.”
Dairy Queen counter guy: “we see him every day.”
Robinson Cano: “He really hustles.”
