Out of fashion. Worn to threadbare. Washed and re-washed.
The Yankees need new new fucking wardrobe.
Someone willing to tell the truth and make changes.
We have too many guys with extraordinary talent who cannot stay on the field. (Judge, Paxton, Giancarlo Torres, etc).
Or worse, they stay on the field but fail to hit or play well ( Sanchez ).
We have held on to back-ups who are not producing ( Gardner, Ford, Tauchman, etc ) and barely give the light of day to young, hungry talent ( Andujar, Garcia, Schmidt. Florial, Holden ). Boone is managing the old way.....and that has given the Yankees no shot at the world series since 2009. It is a safe, conservative way.
- Hard to criticize keeping a spot for Giancarlo when your boss paid $350 million for him until 2027, when he wont even play an inning.
- Hard to criticize hoping that Judge will be an MVP candidate.
- Hard to criticize the hope that Torres can play SS.
- Hard to criticize the memory that Sanchez once wowed us with his skills.
Someone needs to jump up and say; you know what? We are not going to win this way? We are going in a different direction. We are going to play the kids and live or die with them.
But none of that is going to happen.
Andujar will have to go 20-20 and hit 10 homers and 6 doubles to earn a spot every other day.
Deivi will have to pitch 6 or more shut-out innings every outing to get another start.
We'll never see Holden in pinstripes.
Gardy will start every day and Tauchman will bat clean-up. We have seen that already.
We aren't winning because we are living and managing in the past.
Teams that beat us; make contact, are aggressive and confident, have speed and show hunger.
Our best hope for major change is continued failure. Perfect outcome for 2020.
When is next year?

Who is Holden? Caulfield? Right now, I would start him in right field. Maybe he still has his brother's glove, the one he wrote poems on in green ink.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that Andujar lost a season because of a torn shoulder labrum. An injury that was suffered by Greg Bird. Who can tell how much these injuries have hurt the two players, but in such a difficult sport, any major injury could be the end. Florial has never played above high-A ball and has the irritating reputation of lacking "pitch recognition". Gulp, and good luck. Forgive me for repeating myself, the team lacks talent in the upper levels of the minors. One last point. The roster is loaded with young high-end talent. Some of injuries they get are always going to happen over time, some are just flukey, some from being hit by pitches. But the majority are a direct result of poor training philosophies. Why was Judge lifting while he was still recovering from a broken rib and a collapsed lung???!!!! What was Stanton doing bench pressing women???!!!!! Judge and Stanton are so big and powerful that they should only be allowed a very modest training routine. It's also possible that the trainers are having the guys Overstretch which is associated with soft tissue injuries. Well, to be fair, I don't know specifically what the trainers, and the players are doing. But it's obvious that their methods are flawed. The best one is that The Brain last week was backing HIS TRAINERS up by blaming the lack of time for the trainers to do their thing! Naturally he worked the tired Covid excuse into his rap. Sure sounded like a politician campaigning for his job. 'Nough said.
BTW, I WISH that Boone managed the Old Way, Hell I wish that he was actually managing at all.
Mickey Mantle hungover and limping was better than these musclebound bohemians. Voit is proving that lithe is where it's at.Stop looking in the mirror after you lift weights and perhaps they can go back to those confounding stretch-bands they we used to do, or submersing your pitching arm in a barrel of uncooked rice and pushing your way through it. How many bench presses do you think Tom Seaver (RIP) or Mel Stottlemyre (RIP) did in their careers ? Today? metrics, weights, oxygenation ? as Steely Dan once crooned, " The weekend in the trainer's room didn't work out as you planned, the things that pass for knowledge I can't understand."

I have to love the Steve Carlton reference, and maybe we should all use Steely Dan quotes in our comments to amuse ourselves as the season grinds along. Well , they've got a name for the winners of the world. I want a name when I lose. They call that team the Kansas City Chiefs, call me "Yankee Blues"......
@ Diogenes Yeah, probably the only weight training that Mickey Mantle did was pumping beer bottles up to his mouth. I'm not knocking weight training. Some is good, no doubt. But too much is bad for ballplayers.
The Hammer of God
Holden or Holder...I never get it right. But his first name is Kyle, and he is the best fielding SS we have seen ( supposedly ) since what's his name on Cleveland, a few years ago.
He has been in spring training and looked like he was beginning to hit. So they shipped him out.
No one replaces Torres.
Holden Caulfield would be a better catcher, by the way, than Sanchez.
