What's missing in Yankee Stadium...

Posted by el duque at 12:05 PM

When Gary Sanchez marches back to the dugout...

When a reliever coughs up the game...

Whenever Aaron Boone steps from the dugout...

A loud, pre-taped, angry, stadium-wide chorus of boos.

Gary's 1st pitch of 1st at-bat: meatball, deposited onto LF seats
Gary's 1st pitch of 2nd at-bat: meatball, eaten

I understand the temptation, Gary, but please, for the love of God, swing at ALL FIRST PITCHES! (At least until they stop throwing them)

5 more years of Hicks... I don't even need a few more years to wish Ellsbury was still here.

Game 2...Brett Gardner is hitting third. I say again, Brett Gardner is hitting third. First AB, K. 21st century baseball, baby.

Gardner batting third.

You think that’s bad? Ford is batting cleanup. He and his mighty .156 BA.

When will we ever see this poor man’s Voit sent to the alternate universe? Any alternate universe!

Begging your pardon: fifth. And 0-5

And is now 0-7, batting below the Mendoza Line at .152

Where could the bottom of this barrel possibly be?

At least Gardy has the excuse of being an old man. Mike Ford is not, has never been, and will never be a major league player. Overall, this team is a steaming pile of shit.

What is the percentage of games that Giancarlo has managed to play in vs the amount that have been played since acquiring him? It has to be about 33% right? When does he usurp the title of American Idle?

At your service, Leinstery. And I have to say, you do a grave disservice to Mr. Stanton.

To date, he has played in 190 of the Yankees' 362 regular season games in his time with the team. Rounded up, that comes to 52.5 percent of all the team's games. If he misses the rest of the season, though, he WILL sink below the .500 mark.

He has done better in the postseason, playing in 10 of the team's 14 games during his time with the Yanks, or 71.4 percent.

Hey, Ford looked like quite a ballplayer last year. But then, so did Tauchman.

And Deivi and Schmidt looked a good deal less like the staff of the future than we had imagined today...and now, of course, Urshela is out, and Torres is still rounding into shape at the dreaded "Alternate Site."

Remember our motto: Everybody gets hurt. Nobody gets better.

Hick has five years left IF the Yanks don't spring for another $12.5 mill to exercise the option on a sixth year.

Even if they don't, he will leave baseball having made—I won't say "earned"—over $72 million.

$72 million. And you think of the money that Ellsbury will make, and Severino, and Stanton...

Two or three generations from now, there will be huge numbers of people who worship Brian Cashman as a god. He'll be like one of those cargo cults in the Pacific.

So all right, sure, the hitting was so bad it couldn't get an earned run off a guy who went into the game with an ERA over 6. Pitching stunk, too, for the most part.

But look at it this way: we have a back-of-the-bullpen guy who can run the bases better than our starting shortstop. I mean, that's got to count for something. Right? Right???

@ Hoss, When Aaron Hicks got that call to come and sign his new contract, he must have come running in his underwear with pen in hand, afraid that they might change their minds. That was his winning lottery ticket, for the grand prize jackpot. His family will always have Cashman's portrait enshrined above their living room mantel piece.

I don't understand the Hicks contract, the Gardner contract, holding on to Stanton, bringing back Chapman. There are so many incomprehensible moves/non-moves here that I feel dizzy, drunk, nauseous.
