He is pretty dman impressive, but the job giradi is doing is even more impressive. he seems to be pressing the right buttons at the right time.
If we could have some how kept beltran with this group, we may be talking title
Starters with the exception of Tanaka have been pitching way over their heads. No way Girardi is responsible for that, it's just the wierdness that is baseball at times.
But no buts; Sanchez has accomplished what no one's ever done. EVER. That's going to outshine whatever button pushing and micro managing Girardi's done this season if this team gets to the playoffs.
Listening to the usually pro-Yankee Francessa on the FAN, he's consistently been projecting doom and gloom as far as the Yanks actually making the playoffs. It's just way too many wins needed in way too hard a schedule in way too tight of a race. Would be nice though. Crazy kids and a crap bullpen makes some noise.
Too bad about Judge. Hopefully he's able to make some adjustments next year.
Bullpen sucked tonight.
Horrible loss tonight. Despite the last 2 games, Betances is still a top shelf closer. Shit happens -- what are ya gonna do? Joe's gonna take some heat for this loss (should've started the inning with Dellin; should've given him the night off completely, etc.), but I think he played it right. Tried not to use him but once there was a baserunner, the importance of winning the game overrode giving him the day off. Just didn't work out. Dude stood there by his locker after the game and answered every question, though. He'll rebound from this after a day or two off...Dellin's awesome, Clippard's very good and I love the Tommy Layne pickup too--pretty damn good situational lefty. The big drop off for me is Adam Warren. If he throws a clean 8th inning, I think we win this game. Layne should've pitched to Papi in that 8th inning, looking back on it. The Yanks love this dude Warren and look at him as a top flight 8th inning guy but he's no stopper. Up to me, I'd faze Warren out in these late game situations, lean on Clippard/Severino a little more, incorporate more Jonathan Holder/Ben Heller/James Pazos to go along with Shreve/Parker (Shreve's really turned it around the last couple of weeks or so) and call up Johnny Barbato. Bleier and Goody are useless and shouldn't even be on the roster. Warren to me though is a big-time weak link. So overrated by the Yankees. I'd even have Yates ahead of Warren. Anyway, just my 2 cents on how they should use the bullpen the rest of the way.
Really like the Billy Butler pickup btw. Real quality bat to all of a sudden become available this late in the year. This guy could always rake -- career .290 hitter. Good right-handed pop, was a doubles machine a few years back in KC. Good move by Cash. I wish Joe would've left him in tonight to face Joe Kelly with runners on...A couple of so-so years in Oakland but I think he can still hit. Only 30-years-old. I wonder if he plays well down the stretch, they decide to bring him back next year if the price is right. He definitely lengthens the lineup..
