Baseball is full of teams—the 1970s A's, the 1977-78 Yankees—who didn't get along in the clubhouse.<br /><br />Hell, for that matter, Tinker and Evers and Chance hated each other's guts (true story!). But they got it done on the field.<br /><br />13bit: THAT is a great definition of the main problem with Cooperstown Cashman. He never dreams really big—"Hmm, how can I assemble enough piece for a dynasty here?"—but at the same time, he's always willing to risk a rancid, short-term trade: "Here's our best prospect for your dubious, short-term rent-a-pitcher."<br /><br />I had hoped he was over the latter problem.

The swing or lack thereof. A tag up play consisting of the initial catch, the throw, the catch, the tag, and the runner's slide. Each gets it full moment and, at those moments, our attention is undivided. <br /><br />Because of the space between the players and the separation of these actions baseball tolerates flakes and big egos better than any other sport. Teammates don't even have to like each other. Unlike say, a point guard who doesn't pass to a forward or how linemen must act as a single unit or the team fails. <br /><br />When Reggie and Thurman were having issues and a ball was hit to right field with the runner tagging from third Reggie wasn't throwing to Thurman, he was throwing to the catcher. And visa versa. It wouldn't matter if the throw from right originated from Stalin. It's catch it and make the tag. While very different people, there was no questioning their commitment to the team and to winning. Baseball has room for this. <br /><br />We can live with knuckleheads. We can live with overweight pitchers with rubber arms. We loved the Toe Show because that guy plays so far above his skill level if he wants to do a talk show in the dugout – go right ahead. He plays for keeps. <br /><br />What the game does not tolerate is lack of hustle. <br /><br />Aaron Hicks busted his butt to not get thrown out at second. Game tying run. Team in a pennant race. Came up limping a little bit. Gave 100% <br /><br />Gary let down the team, the organization, and the game itself. They can’t get rid of him immediately. We all know this. But...<br /><br />Next time a ball is hit to right on a tag play Judge will throw to the catcher. That’s the beauty and strength of the game. But he will no longer be throwing to a teammate. And that’s just sad. <br /><br />Doug K. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-76560517468920033162018-07-24T14:20:15.575-04:002018-07-24T14:20:15.575-04:00The corrective course is obvious here: you won'...The corrective course is obvious here: you won't get full value in a trade at this point, and he still is a major talent, notwithstanding his lousy attitude and poor work habits. Benching him would be merely punitive. He needs playing time and reps, but in a less pressured atmosphere where he can work on his hitting and catching skills and attitude. That means a long sojourn in Scranton. A tandem of Romine and Hagashioka would be superior to Sanchez at this point anyway.<br /><br />Another addition by subtraction: JUST RELEASE NEIL WALKER ALREADY. What the fuck is Boone doing running him out there nearly every day? He is measurably one of the WORST PLAYERS IN MLB right now, on both offense and defense, without a hint of athleticism, and we have a large enough sample size--more than half a season--to tell us that this is not statistical noise, but the end of a playing career. Every time Boone pencils his name into the lineup he is diminishing the Yankees' chances of winning that game. A platoon of Drury and Wade is so obviously the superior choice, pending Torres's return, that one wonders whether Cashman's ego--his inability to admit to a major mistake--is the reason for this daily act of strategic masochism.<br /><br />Any thoughts on this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-213209063987629922018-07-24T11:59:11.389-04:002018-07-24T11:59:11.389-04:00Someone has got to step up and be a leader.Someone has got to step up and be a leader.TheWinWarblisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781226471237787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-43731736505997243802018-07-24T11:48:07.826-04:002018-07-24T11:48:07.826-04:00Don't waste a bullet.

Even if they go .600 for the rest of the season then they will still have it, so why bother to try hard? <br /><br />It is a horrible attitude I know but this was just about proven last night. Seriously there is no other way to explain his "meh" attitude! At least try to fake it to some point of believability like the others if you do feel like that Gary...it's simply amazing how brazen you were about it last night. One of the few times I felt some serious outrage while watching baseball.<br /><br />Bea, can we line them up with their heads together instead and then use that bullet? I'm kidding. Sonny cannot help sucking for the Yanks so I don't wish him dead. I'm sure he'll be OK on another team. Gary has attitude issues that probably cannot be fixed by any team which pisses me off so much. It's just something that'll come with age, if ever. I dislike such arrogantness.

He may be the product of a system that rewards perceived ability too quickly, that coronates new "core" members before they have earned it, that financially rewards young players before they deserve it. In other words, I think that Sanchez has considered himself a made man for the past year when, in reality, he should still be considered a wannabe. Whether this is from a dim intellect, a lack of true self-examination, or his buddies exhorting him and blowing rose-colored smoke up his fat ass, I don't know. Nor do I care. He does not play like a serious athlete, let alone a real Yankee.<br /><br />Trade him while you can. Send him to a town that won't treat him like a god. Let him earn his stripes elsewhere. If we REALLY wanted to win in the future, we would follow Hoss's suggestion and blow it up now, sell off the dead weight and keep rebuilding. My guess is that, if we did that, we would also give the AL East a run for the money this season, as well, but that would just be a bonus. Cashman is, at the same time, too conservative with his overall strategy and too risky with his tactical moves. Blow it up now, man! As for Sanchez, if we cannot trade him, hold a special promotional day and fire him from a cannon in left field into the scoreboard, then put him on the DL.13bithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704750226699235013noreply@blogger.com
