What’s the over under on John calling them the Indians? We’re at four, three of them self corrected. We’ll hit eight I think. He hasn’t been flubbing the Jeep thing much. I love this man.
Schmidt and German have very different approaches, but the result is the same. They both fall apart the second time through the order, taxing the bullpen. Neither one really belongs in the starting rotation. But when (and if) Severino and Rodon come back boone will have them on the strictest of pitch counts. They really need a system for alternating relievers with Scranton, ‘cause they’re going to need it.
So far this year, Judge has been the King of the “Three True Outcomes”, he has struck out, walked, or hit a home run an astonishing 61% of the time.
We're very lucky to have as "good" a record as we have. For now. Lineup, terrible. Rotation, in shambles, likewise the bullpen. Too early to panic, but to butcher an old line, 'it gets late early in this division'. I would imagine (hope, pray) that Cashman is playing "what if" in his mind right now.
RIP Al Jafee - a seminal figure of my childhood. The man who kept me sane and laughing for years when life was not the least bit funny. He found the madness in all of it.
As long as we are on the topic of "what's with?" What's with Michael Kay's inability to acknowledge that he is doing TV, not radio? As in: "SWING and a miss," or "the righty delivers," details that are easily seen on the screen and require none of his fatuous belaboring? The guy is incompetent, born to annoy, another holdover ifrom the era of lifetime tenure granted to anyone who kissed George's fat ass.
Also, What's with Cashman's perverse infatuation with proven failures from other teams (Cordero, Calhoun) coupled with his aversion to unproven talent from his own system (Florial, who has never been given a meaningful sample size of playing time in the majors in one season)? Did he suffer a head injury we don't know about?
I'm confused. We have EBD and edb. Is one the Bizarro version of the other? Are they related? Is the former a caps-lock texter and the latter actually e.e. cummings?

Only 11 reasons, Alphonso?
ReplyDeleteShirley, there must be more.
IKF with a base running blunder…smh…
ReplyDeleteWe really should be up at least 3 or 4 runs now. German may need those runs we left out there.
ReplyDeleteIf Dj is at 3rd that's an out. Please get IKF and Hicks off this damn team...for the sheer fact is if they ain't on it...Boone can't use em.

ReplyDeleteTied at 2 on WFAN Yankee radio!
ReplyDeleteBeau, I'll take the over
ReplyDeleteVolpe's 4 for 33 is a bit underwhelming thus far.

ReplyDeleteWe got four more Indians, one corrected. … in the 7th :)
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy that old throw back, Disabled List.

Nine came with an apology for being old, soon followed by #10, I oweRufus a beer.
ReplyDeleteJohn threw in the towel.
ReplyDeletePathetic.
ReplyDeletePredictable loss to the loathsome guardians.
ReplyDeleteSame issue as last year; a lack of clutch hitting caused by a poor approach.
Deja Vu all over again.

"They are who we thought they were."
ReplyDeleteOr something like that.
We used to pick up guys like Tim Raines.
Now we get Calhoun.
This "load management " is giving me the shits, although I get it with JD.
Interesting parlor game; just how long do they go with Volpe? Does he get sent down before Rodon pitches?
That should have been "DJ", but actually JD works when thinking about "Loads."
ReplyDeleteLoads of stiff in The Yankees' lineup!
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. We have EBD and edb. Is one the Bizarro version of the other? Are they related? Is the former a caps-lock texter and the latter actually e.e. cummings?
ReplyDeleteSomebody clarify. I need answers.
Thank you.
