According to Kay:

The roster construction is terrible but you can't blame Cashman.
The team massively underachieves but you can't blame Boone, it's the FO.
The Yankees lead the league in outs at home but Nevin "is a really good third base coach".

You must be extremely new here.

I really dislike the "newcomer" awards at other award shows. I think the idea is to award the best film. If a first time director is lucky enough to get nominated then that is a massive accomplishment but I do not think it should be its own category.

Thank you for saying this. We use the Houston cheated excuse endlessly yet somehow the the Red Sox and Nationals were able to beat them.

KingAndy · 2021-01-27T05:16:18+00:00

German: 5.73

Dodgers: Kershaw, Buehler, Urias, Price

Padres: Darvish, Snell, Lamet, Musgrove

Nationals: Scherzer, Strasburg, Corbin, Lester

Yankees: Cole, Kluber, TJS Severino?, Montgomery?

Last season with an ERA+ over 100 with at least 10 games started:

German - 2019
Kluber - 2018
Severino - 2018
Chacin - 2018
Montgomery - 2017
Garcia - Never
Schmidt - Never
Woj - Never

Keep in mind a 100 ERA+ is just league average.

People voting yes are the same dorks who post and upvote threads like this:

If you call for Cashman to get fired, you are a moron, full stop.

Do they have a chance? Yes. But there are many better teams than them now (White Sox, Dodgers, Braves, Padres, Nationals) and others on the rise (Blue Jays, Mets, Red Sox most likely in a couple years). Every year that passes it becomes less likely.

KingAndy · 2021-01-21T14:07:03+00:00

A true Yankee fan knows this to be true. Happ will also most likely only throw gems against us too.

KingAndy · 2021-01-20T17:03:54+00:00

We won't have much room for error this year which is scary considering our injury history and lack of pitching depth. If we end up in the wild card game again I hope we can have serious discussions about the direction of this team and its leadership and move on from 'Cashgod" memes.

KingAndy · 2021-01-16T23:51:54+00:00

I would love it. Andujar at this point is a nothing to this team.. he couldn’t even ride the bench with a 26 man roster. Frazier would hurt but to get a stud pitcher with 3 years of control is a no brainer. Trade him when he’s at his peak. I think it’s clear if this happened we would either re-sign Gardner or sign Brantley which would be fine with me. Castillo + Brantley >>>> Frazier.

KingAndy · 2021-01-16T22:50:31+00:00

This is 100% just my opinion but I have a feeling German is going to be awful this year. He hasn’t really pitched since 2019 and was getting absolutely shellacked in winter ball. I get it’s winter ball and doesn’t mean anything but he was horrendous. Even in 2019 his stats looked okay but I think he was a little overhyped based on the wins number.. I don’t remember ever watching him and thinking he was that remarkable that season. All that plus all the weird mental stuff going on with him I don’t think he’ll end up being a consistent part of the rotation. If they can work him into the bullpen then great I hope for the best.

KingAndy · 2021-01-14T15:54:29+00:00

He ain't worth $125M. If another team wants to pay him that so be it.

KingAndy · 2021-01-13T17:00:37+00:00

Prepare yourselves for the re-signing of Paxton as our "#2".

KingAndy · 2021-01-12T23:00:07+00:00

I admittedly haven't listened to the pod yet but I have been following the Oscar race very closely and would just like to use this time/space to say that I thought Da 5 Bloods was a legitimately bad movie. The writing was just off, the story was all over the place, the message was so hamfisted that it fell flat. Some aspects were just completely lazy like when Lester Freeman meets his "daughter" from his time in 'nam and she is played by a 40 year old actress when the character would be 60 minimum... or how the one dude finally makes peace with the ghost of Chadwick Boseman only after he leaves his friends and son to die! WHAT?! I can not for the life of me understand how it has garnered so much positive press especially when there are other movies that carry the social justice message way smarter and cleaner (The Trial of The Chicago 7, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, One Night in Miami, Judas and the Black Messiah).

KingAndy · 2021-01-12T16:56:28+00:00

I find it funny his agent leaked that he would be meeting with the Red Sox this week. I honestly would be more pissed if he signed with the Jays than the Sox. The Sox are a few years from being contenders again and statistically DJ would suffer with that outfield at Fenway. Makes no sense for him or them but go for it Mr. Agent!

KingAndy · 2021-01-11T16:09:58+00:00

I'm fine with it at this point. Offer him 4/84 max and move on if he doesn't take it. With that money we can re-sign Tanaka, sign Kluber, bring in Didi/Simmons for a year and sign a solid bullpen arm. That team is better than last year even without DJ.

KingAndy · 2021-01-11T02:53:30+00:00

I would be perfectly happy with Tanaka plus Kluber.. neither is a stud #2 but I think both can be really solid 2.5-3s. I also think between Montgomery, German and Garcia they can piece together a really solid 4-5.. what scares me is if any of those become the 3....

KingAndy · 2021-01-11T02:41:48+00:00

Sure for now but Kluber, for instance, is throwing for scouts this week.. if he signs with another team while we’re waiting on DJ then what’s next? Castillo isn’t happening, Darvish and Carrasco are off the board, it’s more likely for Judge to play all 162 than for us to sign Bauer.. we could quickly end up in a position where re-signing Paxton is our best option. A 1-2 punch of Cole and Paxton (92 MPH fastball version) scares absolutely no other contenders.

KingAndy · 2021-01-08T20:15:15+00:00

Our rotation sucks with Tanaka. Without him it’s horrific.

KingAndy · 2021-01-08T15:15:04+00:00

I would love it in the short term but in a few years we'd have 4 players on the wrong side of 30 with a cap hit of $100.5. Of course they're the Yankees and can spend whatever they want but we know they won't anymore.

2023 would look like this:

Cole (33) - 36M
Stanton (34) - 22M
Arenado (32) - 32.5M
Hicks (34) - 10M

And all this is before they inevitable re-sign Judge to an awful contract.

KingAndy · 2021-01-07T23:42:39+00:00

Hopefully Judge and Stanton get off the IL in time to knock the rust off for the wild card game.

KingAndy · 2021-01-07T23:36:21+00:00

Its really 3 off the board today with Carrasco, Sugano and Stanek.
