8/19 Beat the MFY
- Thread starter Curt S Loew
- Start date
Funny thing he was on the bubble with Story returning until he hit the walk-off Grand Slam. Turned out to be a great choice. Yu who?
That's a lot of pay. Even with the Marlins due to pick up some of the money in the final seasons of his contract. He has 4 years left at $98M (thanks to MIA payments in the last 2 years), plus a $15M team option for his age 38 season.
In all, the Yanks traded for Stanton's age 28-37 years (plus one team option year). A $265M commitment for 9 years - $29.5M per. They gave up 2 years of Starlin Castro for that: 2.8 WAR for MIA. ($22M total).
They've gotten (by b-WAR): 4.4, .4, .6, 3.1, .7, -.1 for: 9 WAR over 6 years.
I think any way you look at it, this is in the inner-circle for one of the worst currently performing contracts in baseball.
Hard agree here, last season I definitely didn't have Crawford outpitching Cole in a head to head on my bingo card. His transformation to a legit starter this season is impressive
Really hope we can keep him
lot of nice young pieces on this team, and turner seems like a player younger guys can really learn from. Love his approach at the plate, and he’s strong in the field too. Checks a ton of boxes
To me, the main thing about this game, apart from the Red Sox success on the mound and at bat, is how poorly Cole pitched. It's sort of weird. I think he only had fastballs working today, and the guys knew what to expect.
Crawford at 82 pitches. If Judge had not gotten him and he had a blank slate going, does Cora still pull him?
I like Kutter. Why must he be considered a back end of rotation/long man in bullpen guy? Bello, Houck and Crawford could be the bulk of a good rotation for the next 3-4 years. How do you show you can go deep into games unless you're allowed to?
DOB just said Kutter's career ERA vs the MFY is 1.89. Meanwhile the Yankees can see Schreiber well. Two hard hit balls. Tread lightly AC!
All of those ads behind home plate are green screens and have been for over a decade
No doubt. Missed at home plate and made up at first base in a blink of an eye. Boonie not happy.
Would be cool to do something against this bullpen instead of just beating up on their shitty starting pitchers.
They are managing his workload to protect his arm - he isn’t quite used to pitching this many innings in one season.
I have seen this several times in game threads. Is there a reason people think Turner won't be back?
