The Yankees have stolen THREE bases in the last calendar month.
Three!
You'd think with the offense scuffling, they'd be a little more aggressive on the bases. Try to get something going. But the Yankees have the fewest stolen base attempts of any team in baseball over the last calendar month.
I guess when Volpe isn't getting on base, they just have no one else who can run. So we just abandon that part of the game.
Remember when the bigger bases and new pickoff rules were supposed to encourage more stolen bases? Well, that's happening for most teams. But not the Yankees. Still old and slow. Station to station baseball.
Listening to Kay twist himself in knots trying to defend the Yankee’s modus operandi would be funny if it wasn’t sad. His denouement? Fans “don’t understand”. He did opine that if the Yanks do make the WC but lose in the first round that Boone would be out.
Boone’s contract has an option for next year, so the team could simply walk away from it. My opinion is they don’t really want to that, but might be willing to do so as a window dressing type move. It’s obvious what qualities they want in a manager, so any replacement for Boone would be about the same, perhaps more articulate, but just as complacent. It would be great if the next manager would snap and burst into Cashman’s office like Ensign Pulver in Mr. Roberts: “It is I, Manager ( insert name )! Now - what’s all this crap about no LH hitting this season?”
Boooone will have a job for life because The Intern speaks the same language. Here’s what he had to say about this slump and the slumps of the past two years:
“I think every year is different,” Cashman said. “I think those teams are different and some of the issues are different.”
What’s really sad AA is that it’s the same movie every year and these morons have all kinds of excuses to deny what is obvious to even the casual watcher, much less the fanatics in this blog. The Intern either can’t see it or won’t, and I don’t know which is worse.
Right. That's the problem. As we've all seen, the Yankees have done nothing but whack wicked line drives that, somehow, are always hit directly to opposing fielders. Their every pitch is an amazing, torqued fastball that, somehow, hits a loose pebble on the infield and bounces over the head of our boys.

ReplyDeleteYanks no longer steal.
Cowardly on the base paths?
Or do they just suck?
Me, I'm just a lawnmower. You can tell me by the way I walk.

ReplyDeleteJM Soto loafed after the foul ball. He is a beaten man.
ReplyDeleteDJ looked like he was eight years old on that play down the line.
Where's the manager?

The bullshit is knee deep in Yankeeland.
Kaiser: "What's that smell?
ReplyDeleteIt's this Yankee game... It stinks!"
Not My Fav'rite Year.
A great movie.
ReplyDeleteOh Carlos you bum
ReplyDeleteOne bad inning sinks us
So very much dough
"Alan Swann is beneath us!"
ReplyDelete"Of course he's beneath us, he's an actor."
Knee deep doesn’t cover it.
ReplyDeleteI believe they’re up to their chinny chin chins in it.
Top of Five one Run
ReplyDeleteGreat job guys really well done
And we got the dudes

ReplyDeleteHad Gleyber snapped that tag they may have gotten the runner
ReplyDeleteRice Rice baby!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the SAME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey go down big early. They come back but not enough to take the lead. They fall short!!
Which makes me think, maybe they'd do better with Bill Veeck's midget.
ReplyDeleteInsurance run sinks it.

"The ball's gotta start bouncing our way..."
ReplyDeleteRight. That's the problem. As we've all seen, the Yankees have done nothing but whack wicked line drives that, somehow, are always hit directly to opposing fielders. Their every pitch is an amazing, torqued fastball that, somehow, hits a loose pebble on the infield and bounces over the head of our boys.
The nonsense never stops.
Exactly, Hoss.
ReplyDeleteSpot on, Sir
