Guest Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The Astros have clawed their way back to 1 out of first in the AL West, and 4 games back of the top spot in the AL overall. Framber is on the mound to hopefully complete the sweep of the Rangers and make the Astros tied for 1st in the West. And Altuve and Yordan should both be in the lineup after long layoffs due to oblique injuries. My friend Jessica's husband, J.P. France, is putting himself into ROY conversation, with his now sub 3 ERA and quality start after quality start. Fun story there for the 28 year old rookie. Happy to see the Red Sox starting to put it together. The O's are suuuuper reminiscent of the Astros in 2015. That is a group on the precipice of quite a run. @Brian I can't believe what Hal has allowed Cashman to do to the Yankees. I'm sorry.

Brian Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I have stopped watching them for the most part. Until a regime change, I don’t expect this to ever improve. NY media seems indifferent to it. I had the local sports radio on and they had a segment talking about how Cashman is a HoF which is hilarious. Yanks are in last place with the second highest payroll but sure let’s talk about his credentials. I have been pretty depressed all summer so it’s whatever at this point.

It’s hilarious. He really did take that personally when Maldy gave him the business as a rookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 In the last 164 games, Yankees are 84-80. Removing Judge, hitters are batting .225/.293/.377 (.670 OPS). Removing Cole, starters are 34-42 with a 4.60 ERA. For the 2nd highest payroll, it’s an awful roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yankees make one trade and it’s a middle reliever. Why we are trading for a rental middle reliever when the bullpen is already pretty good is beyond me. This trade only happened to stop the conversation how the Yankees up to that point were the only team to not make a trade since July 1st that Sherman tweeted. Yankees are so lucky to have Brian “HoF” Cashman running the show. Can’t wait to hear the defense force over the next few days. Edit: Yanks traded for another reliever from the Rangers who are trying to win WS unlike the Yanks so you know it’s a trash trade. Edit 2: Brian Cashman on his message to Yankee fans: "We've got a shot, still. Stay tuned. We'll see if we turn those jeers into cheers." This isn’t little league fucking baseball. Maybe Brian should pass around orange slices since that will be more useful than whatever he does as a GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I’m a little disappointed Boston did almost nothing at the deadline, but I’m also kinda over trading away good prospects for rentals. I’m not real sure what they could have done without giving up good players. Story is coming back and Sale should be back soon to shore up some weaknesses. Let’s just hope they stay healthy. It’s not really like I was expecting a deep October run here anyway. They’ve performed better than I expected this year. Still too streaky of a team, though.

I wonder if he showed up hammered and when he sobered up a bit, they put him in. The organization is a mess. I’m sure they suspected something and still just sat pat. Should have blown it up like the Mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, a walk-off grand slam is a nice way to win, even against a team like KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
