Bad weeks will happen so a 1-5 week doesn't bother me much especially after 5 straight good weeks.

My biggest concern is the bats. 2 months of poor hitting isn't a fluke

A team batting avg of .230 entering June? Unacceptable

Another day, another stupid out run into on the bases. This team is not well-coached, and the cherry on top is they're not self-motivators.


They don't get their shit together, this week could bury them.

I think they are fine. The pitching is too good for them to get buried. If the season were 60 games like last year?? Yeah, they would basically be in the same place...a low-tier wild card team. They are underachieving no matter how you slice it. But 100+ games to go has them far from buried.

not sure what this is suppose to mean but if u r tied in the 9th as the home team u will never need him as the closer

only the away team will have a closer situation after the 9th

Friday night Boone used Chapman in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game. And then Wilson blew it in the bottom of the 10th.

Yeah, well, Booney doesn’t know what he’s doing. That’s why that particular move was made.

Hope Taillon know his spot is gone when Sevy is back

This team is back to putting up 1 and 2 runs pretty often

See I wouldn’t worry soo much if it was it was like the beginning of may or earlier. But we are a third of the way through the season. And the bats need to wake up soon or the Yankees are in trouble

Andujar and Torres are shells of the former offensive threats they were in 2018. Torres is still useful but for a young guy his power has drastically evaporated.

It's a fucking miracle they've won 29 games.

I'm gonna hold you to this.

But I fully expect it to be wrong...

Meanwhile the fuggin Rays can't lose. Imagine if that team actually got fan support?

Or spent even half of what the big market teams do. So well run.

 

[nynasty]

Bottom 5 in runs scored

PIT 3.36
NYM 3.55
DET 3.59
NYY 3.74
BAL 3.74

If things continue they will never see the need to spend money

True enough. At least all this winning will ensure they won't have draft picks in the top 5 anymore, like they did for years and years.

Yeah so it should eventually "force" there hand but not for a long time

The Yankees have posted their lineup for tonight!
