Has it? Well over a decade? When did we hire Boone? :lol:

Even dating back to Girardi we struggled to knock in RISP, hence why guys like Larry Bowa and Kevin Long were fired.


All I know is with a man on second in extra innings and no outs...try bunting him over to third once in while.

Cashman and the rocket scientists are not worried because the Yankees are 4th in runs over the past 10 years. The way the team approaches hitting must influence major slumps and lack of situational hitting. The computer needs help.

Will Warren...I'll take that each time from him as a young guy. He's different from last year

Ben Rice should be the Yankees starting catcher.

Just terrible. So much pressure on Clarke because this asshat of an offense can’t scratch across a single run vs JP Sears.

We absolutely suck right now. Barring a miracle comeback here, have Stroman for a rubber game tomorrow just great. Of course the lineup actually has to score runs ya know.

How soon do the Rays jump us in the division, how embarrassing would it be if we got eliminated by the Rays in our spring training facility. There is no way George would allow the Rays to have their home games at Steinbrenner field, no way in hell.

Gene Michaels built the recent dynasty, including the best baseball team to ever grace the diamond, the 1998 NYY.

Hal, Cashman, and Bubbles are the three horsemen of the apocalypse. If this team is ever going to win a WS again, all 3 of them have to go.

I can see a scenario where Wells is traded, Rice is the full time catcher and Bellinger resigned to play 1st and let Grisham and Goldschmidt go and Jones and Dominguez play center and left.

That would be a damn disaster, considering the amount of quality catchers we’ve given away.

Anyway, hoping Wells can bounce back. He’s still a great defender and calls games well. Your scenario might be a ways away though…can’t see it happening next year.

Feel like we stole one with Stroman pitching.

Every time I watch Leiter pitch he chokes away the lead and we lose. Get rid of this bum!

I don't know what's up but, it feels like every time I watch him pitch we lose. I hate this kid and I can't say I've watched every game with him this year but, from now on, when he comes in I am changing the channel.

I've had a few friends who were more talented than Leiter Jr but couldn't manage to break into the majors because they didn't have any family connections, yet we are forced to have the Yankees version of Chris Smith on our team because of what his dad and uncle accomplished 30 plus years ago.

Cashman needs to just admit that he lost the Leiter trade and cut his losses

Hal needs to just admit that giving Cashman his latest contract was a bad move and cut his losses.

Hal also needs to admit that he sucks as an owner and sell the team to cut his losses.

Devin Williams really has future Met written all over him. Can't believe they tried to give him the closer spot after Luke Weaver got injured.
