How about scoring more than 1 run against a shytty pitcher with a 6 ERA?

See we can play stupid game easily.
What is your problem I been consistent of my hate for happ and the waste of money which led to us not getting Corbin or Dallas as I knew the rotation would do this . Should I have given sonny gray a pass as well ? You and @tremonthustler1 kept on with this so what trade deadline nonsense and now we bout to get no one and if we do pay a highly elevated price .
You don’t have to like my opinions and I don’t care if you do breh I’m entitled to mine and you are to yours . :yeshrug: But so far what I feared is happening and now I gotta hope that sevy comes back and is the ace from the first half of the seasons he pitches before he falls apart

The opinion is shyt when Happ wasn't the reason for the lost. Simple as that. fukk being consistent on hating Happ and focus on what happened to rest of the team tonight.

Out here talking about Happ when the motherfukker only gave up 3 runs on 6 innings of work. The fukk out of here.

I didn't want Happ. Y'all loved Happ until he fukked up the one job he had when we got him. Would you rather these guys be trash til October and then pitch well? I would.


Had we signed Keuchel you'd STILL be complaining about adding another pitcher though. He's not the answer! Let it go. At the end of the day, the Yankees can still win it in October. We just don't have any faith in what we have at the moment. Outside of acquiring Bumgarner, NONE of these guys should make you comfortable. NONE of them, and that's including Corbin who I wanted and still do.

I ain't no conspiracy theorist but it's clear that these teams want to fukk over the Yankees. You can't tell me Andujar, Frazier, and another prospect can't land some top flight pitcher :francis:
That's what it's been. The problem is Cashman shoulda known that was a possibility. shyt was cute when we were rebuilding on the fly. Now that we're serious again, teams don't wanna be the reason why we win it all. Instead of getting what he could, he's trying to create a pitcher that doesn't exist in his head. His analytics department is probably thinking the answer to all our problems is '99 Pedro but 99 Pedro isn't here.

yea Cashman and the nerds wanna get cute but you're gonna have to come up off something real valuable to get an ace like pitcher and that's really what the team needs, but this shyt about teams wanting Torres now is just some bullshyt

At this stage, for me, it's MadBum or do nothing.

We need a top of the rotation add, not another #3 or #4. We all know that MadBum isn't what he used to be, but still very capable of carrying a rotation, as well as performing at the highest level. Can't say the same about any of the other options (Stroman, Bauer, Minor, Roark, Ray, Wheeler or Thor) being brought up in this extremely weak trade deadline period. We need a sure thing at this stage, since we really don't have one in our rotation right now. We need a difference maker, period.

If we do nothing, then our bullpen strength will have to be put to the test. More "opener" type games, etc. Depending on Sevy, Betances, Montgomery or even Stanton to come back and be difference makers is a very tall ask, almost a pipe dream. But here we are.....

Way too many crocodile tears being shed over moves that weren't an issue in real time.


- Verlander news hit, I had no issue because he looked flabby
- Cole news hit, I had no issue because I wasn't shipping out Torres
- Corbin news hit, I had no issue because those numbers looked stupid
- Keuchel news hit, I had no issue because his own team has holes in the rotation and didn't want him back
- Stroman news hit, I had no issue because he's a mediocre coin flip regarding October


There hasn't been a pitching trade or signing that's gone down the last 3 years where my initial reaction was "damn, Cashman blew it". If MadBum gets moved tomorrow and we aren't the team I'll be livid, but other than him there's no one I'm pounding the table for. Stop the crying and wipe the fake tears.

worst case scenario is if we don't do any moves and the astros upgrade their starting pitching :francis::upsetfavre::martin: cashman:ufdup:

Cashman is a copycat. Always has been, always will be.

The game today is about power arms, and openers, and spin rates, and exit velocity, and launch angles.

He's an analytics slave, and he's tripled down on that philosophy. He would rather have 6 power arms in the pen, than 3 good starters. He wants to slug-n-pen his way to a title.

He'll get a starter, but I don't think he truly cares about starting pitching, or at least its not a high priority.
