OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread (Hal is cheap, Brian is dumb)

[knicks94]

90 win juggernaut

That will go 1-5 against the Tigers and Boston.

If this is a sign of the Yankees clicking, then my expectations will rise. Still seeing some sloppy play and questionable decisions by Boone but, we have played well enough to overcome that recently. The talent is there. It's just a matter of getting hot at the right time. I've been enjoying most of the games recently so, I'm hoping that continues the rest of the way.

The Yankees desperately need to move on from Dollar Tree Jeter. His stats in the last 70 plus games are the worst in the majors as he continues to regress. Why does it take Cashman a few years to realize a player isn't a good fit with the team while it only takes the average Yankee fan a full season?

Volpe is a problem. Every time a ball is hit to him I panic! His bat has holes in it. He's almost a guaranteed out or momentum killer. I feel bad for the kid. Boone is just a moron.

They fast-tracked him too hard. He doesn't even know who he is. One year, he hits home runs. Then, he trades power for contact. Now, he's back to flailing at pitches to generate power. And somehow, he has the yips on defense now. Cashman was so damn desperate to prove he doesn't need to sign a star shortstop, and I'm guessing that pressure made its way to Volpe.

Boone is also making it worse. Calling him elite, refusing to consider Cabellero, etc. He's only going to bench Volpe during the playoffs, in hopes to sabotage Caballero...same thing he did to Jasson last year when Verdugo was playing like a turd. I wish I had Devin Williams' job security right now...man is bulletproof...protagonist plot armor or something.

The only two dudes the Yankees have ever held accountable recently are Torres and Bird.

I cannot think of one player whose confidence was built from Boone and Cashman overplaying them in the midst of their woes. Infact their philosophy has had quite the opposite affect on them as those guys regressed even more. Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Hicks, Joey Gallo and Devin Williams are perfect examples of players who were mishandled by Boone and the organization.

[blue and orange]

Never in doubt Boone is always gonna choke when it matters most. Boone tried to out analytical Hinch. What an idiot trying to put your pen scrubs in the 7th. You have a rested pen put your best guys in. It’s September had a golden opportunity to cut the division deficit to 1,It actually would’ve been a good spot to use Devin Williams in the 7th after he came through in the 8th the other day. Weaver and Hill were options as well.

[KnicksGadfly]

Relievers going to always let Will Warren down, damn.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Volpe needs to sit down. He's useless. Boone is garbage.

[knicks94]

I think the Yankees should consider revoking Judge's captain title and giving it to Mark Leiter Jr. If anyone has truly earned the C on their uniform it is him. What a true Yankee this guy is. I could see why Cashman and Boone are so high on him. Watching him come out of the pen in a high leverage situation is such a joyful experience.

The sad thing is that after seeing Devin Williams and Jake Bird, I was thinking, "maybe Mark Leiter isn't so bad." But no, he sucks. And they keep calling him a young man and the guy is 34.

You know what annoys the shyt out of me? I've been stumping for former Yankee Dave Robertson forever (2.84 ERA with Philadelphia). Available for straight cash. But nah, let's throw prospects and trade for cost-controlled Jake Bird to save money. Robertson, at the very least, will not have an issue with his mental. That really matters with the games we're trying to play.

Shocking result

[knicks94]

Did Cashman fool every Yankee fan at the deadline after he made his blockbuster bullpen acquisitions? If so, what an excellent conman he is.His moves were supposed to take us to the next level, but instead we might be worse off than we were before July 31st. Every season this guy does something that would be considered a fireable offense, yet he manages to hold on to his job due to his lifetime contract.

[Jalen Bluntson]

23-3 in two days? I didn't see this one. Jesus.

[KnicksGadfly]

Yah...I feel like the Yankees got confused and forgot these dudes weren't in the AL East.

Gleybor Torres probably feeling vindicated right now.

As bad as the Yankees were under Devery & Farrell and CBS they would have made sure to get rid of Cashman a long time ago. Does Hal's reluctance to fire this fool make him the worst owner in the history of this organization? It really is mind boggling that I will most likely be in my mid to late 60's the day Cashman decides to call it quits, yet I wasn't even in High School when they first gave him the job. One advantage that previous generations of Yankee fans have/had is that they did not have to spend the majority of their lifetime watching one man absolutely tarnish the legacy of their most favorite team. Sorry that I had to make another Cashman post, but if I don't vent I will be forced to go on anti-depressants.

Cashman has been living off the legacy of Watson and Gene Michael for years.
Maybe for the first 10 years, the Yankees had enough of a spending advantage still that he was able to eke out one championship. The last 10 years, when the playing field has been leveled, he's been revealed to be completely mediocre

Yep…he keeps trying to prove that he doesn’t need to spend to win and it keeps killing us. Even when he finds someone like DJLM, that move backfires in his face. We also really traded Durbin for Devin Williams, and now we have Ryan McMahon getting 16 million at 3B, to prevent us from signing a good player in FA again.

Said it before, but last year’s Dodgers World Series win against the Yankees was directly caused by the gap between the Yankees and Dodgers’ front office. Seeing Flaherty beat us again reminded me of how the Dodgers outmaneuvered us to get him last year, by trading a former Yankees prospect that they scammed us for. And that’s just one in a series of moves where Cashman got outmaneuvered.

[MrDollarBills]

Gross.

This organization is garbage.
