I love Cabera’s defense, energy, and flexibility, but he is completely overmatched at the plate. The only reason he’s out there is that the next man up (Hicks) is one of the worst players in the game. Stanton cannot play the outfield. Carpenter was a nice story, but it seems the story has ended. Gonzalez? Don’t make me laugh. I have no fucking clue why he’s here. Trevino is a good defensive C who can’t hit, the first part of his season a small sample mirage. Hard to believe this, but Higashioka was the next better hitter after Judge in the second half. He needs to start over Trevino. The bullpen is a sack of broken parts. Our depth of young pitching was traded away by Cashman with nothing to show for it but a defensive CF who can’t hit. Now with Judge clearly lost at the plate (Steinscummer, chortling, is reducing his bid for Judge by 1M for each successive strikeout.) the lineup is a succession of strikeout machines who seem to be swinging as hard as they can in every situation. I must except IKF From this. He hasn’t any pop, but he does tailor his swing and puts the bat on the ball. We will lose to Cleveland because they are overall a better team, and that is always more pronounced in the postseason. I wish I could be more optimistic, but I’m with Ranger. It’s tough to see the Yanks winning another game. Winning the series? They have about as much chance of that as Hicks winning the Triple Crown next year.
