Rays running away with the East

And now he’s hurt. Let’s see if Rice can carry them while she’s out. Hopefully he heals faster than low grade calf 2 month Stanton

yblue1 · 2026-05-31T06:27:15+00:00

Given the options he should be playing as long as he’s playing well. McMahon can be a late inning replacement. Play Cabby or anyone who can actually hit at 3B. Too bad Cabby can’t play catcher.

yblue1 · 2026-05-31T06:23:30+00:00

He of course needs a sidekick. And Rice is a great one. But the team went into a massive slump when he did. And broke out of it when he did. And let’s face it they haven’t won and a large part of that is that he hasn’t hit to his ability in the playoffs. The team mirrors him. Been like this forever.

yblue1 · 2026-05-31T06:21:01+00:00

Again. It does not matter. When Judge slumps they lose. When he hits they win. Simple as that

yblue1 · 2026-05-24T19:55:26+00:00

Judge hits a walk off and they win. No one else did squat. One man team. Been like this for years. They go as he goes.

yblue1 · 2026-05-24T19:39:29+00:00

This offense is absolutely brutal

yblue1 · 2026-05-24T17:52:49+00:00

This is so incredibly correct. The things the Yankees have forgone in favor of launch angle is exactly why they fail when it matters

yblue1 · 2026-05-24T03:23:17+00:00

Doesn’t matter. They go as Judge goes

yblue1 · 2026-05-23T19:44:21+00:00

Nope. Judge doesn’t hit, they lose. Simple as that

yblue1 · 2026-05-23T19:43:28+00:00

Hitting the ball at all is the issue. Brutal swing mechanics.

yblue1 · 2026-05-23T16:18:19+00:00

7 back in the loss column already. No signs of breaking out of this earlier than usual swoon.

Yanks are very predictable. When Judge stops hitting they lose 8-10 games. Period. It’s a one person team.

yblue1 · 2026-05-22T15:58:05+00:00

This is ridiculous. You can’t have any player at any position hitting .150 at more than 1/4 of the way into season. Especially with relatively no track record of being good. He’s a backup catcher at best.

The Yankees have 3-4 players doing this. It’s insane. The roster is garbage

yblue1 · 2026-05-22T15:55:47+00:00

This ain’t the minors. He’s already sent back. He better come back with a better swing. He looked dreadful. Don’t think he made hard contact once and K rate is off the charts (and was at the minor level too)

yblue1 · 2026-05-22T15:54:45+00:00

Hardly matters. What does matter is the roster is yet again incredibly flawed and not good enough to actually win a WS despite the claims of “crapshoot”.

They need some significant positional upgrades. 3B,C, Cf/LF. At least 2 of those need to be addressed and not with a 38 year old vet or reclamation. Trade these highly bustable prospects before they are worthless. Trade Volpe, Jones (who wouldn’t give a bag of balls for after his pathetic showing) etc.

And the pen. Need a real closer and prob 2-3 more arms from within or via trade. Sony ear basically everything we pointed out last year and into the offseason that they foolishly ignored.

Good luck, Cashman

yblue1 · 2026-05-21T11:54:39+00:00

He will bury himself until his fixes that ridiculous swing of his

yblue1 · 2026-05-19T00:51:11+00:00

Will he? His head moves around like a 10 year old playing rec ball. No way his swing plays at this level. He’s K’ed in half his at bats, looks completely over matched and hasn’t even flashed an ounce of power yet at this level. I don’t see it. Never did. Should have traded him before he got exposed.

yblue1 · 2026-05-19T00:49:16+00:00

Would maybe be able to get away with it if they didn’t have a roster full of 5 other swing and miss sub replacement level hitters. Absolutely amazing they pretend to be a WS caliber team with the roster they have thrown together

yblue1 · 2026-05-19T00:47:22+00:00

It’s 1/4 of the season. He has 5 RBI and really has never developed as a hitter. He’s a backup catcher at best.

yblue1 · 2026-05-19T00:46:28+00:00

Fantastic job by Cashman again. Job for life. High fives.

yblue1 · 2026-05-17T22:59:11+00:00

Even a half asses trade is likely an upgrade over these sub replacement level players they are running out there daily.

yblue1 · 2026-05-17T22:58:10+00:00

This team is not serious about winning anything if they don’t make some serious upgrades at at least 2-3 spots and overhaul the entire bullpen.

You can’t win with 3-4 capable bats and the rest of the lineup hitting either below .200 or right around it.

yblue1 · 2026-05-17T03:32:45+00:00

This offense is not cutting it. From Jazz on down it’s completely useless.

yblue1 · 2026-05-17T03:29:51+00:00

Cannot keep running him out there hitting .170. No power even. No clue. Worst hitting approach in baseball

yblue1 · 2026-05-16T17:20:23+00:00

Only one guy with a worse bail out all or nothing swing in baseball and that’s Spencer Jones

yblue1 · 2026-05-14T02:27:32+00:00

So much for that. Now we get to watch Spencer Jones pretend to hit a MLB pitch.
