8/18 Beat the MFY

[E5 Yaz]

They’re consistently top 3 in payroll and have 1 WS win over the past 20 years. Maybe Cashman is right and if the Astros weren’t banging on trashcans, they’d have 2. I think this has been a main board topic in the past, but as happy as I’d be with team competing year in and year out, at some point I’d expect an actual trophy. This team is bad, they’ve been bad for a year and half now. He should be getting criticized for this mess.

Of course he should

Of course he should

I dont know what we’re talking about then. You’re taking exception to him being called lousy. I think he is.

For a year and a half, probably. Over his career, no

 

[hunter05]

Very convincing. Thank you

By what metric though? How many yankee GMs would consider his tenure as ‘good’?

 

[gattman]

I don’t think over his career he’s been lousy but I think he’s been overrated. I get that the playoffs are a crapshoot but given that the Yankees have as many if not more built in advantages than any other franchise, I think Cashman’s track record has been mediocre at best. Put another way, he’s accomplished less over a longer period of time than just about any other Yanks GM/Pres of Baseball Ops.

Anthony Volpe, responding to a similar question about what the #Yankees are missing, noted, "Probably just energy and fun and enjoying the game and enjoying playing with each other. It's like the chicken or the egg. What's gonna cause [the other] to change?"

Edit: I think it’s totally fair to call him lousy. He has been.

A year and a half? Last year they won 99 games

A year and a half? Last year they won 99 games

They were otherworldly the first half of last season. Not so good second half.

 

[hunter05]

A year and a half? Last year they won 99 games

They went 35-35 after the break.

Their bat boy in Cleveland had to tuck his long hair under his helmet because Michael Kay made a big deal of their sacred rules. The Yankees are where fun goes to die.
