Judge hit's a three run homer! It's Judgement Day, again! 5 - 1 Yanks! We're gonna win two in a row!
Yanks give up 9 unanswered runs! Ball game over, Yankees lose, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh Yankees lose! Good feeling gone!

I'm not keeping track, but how bad is the rest of the division that we can still be anywhere near 1st place?

No one posting here any more? Crazy rough streak the team is on. I'm not sure how much relievers really move the needle compared to starters (an age old debate). I hope this trade re-ignites the team. Frazier should help a lot in the infield. I was excited about Choi, though. I hope he still gets to play at least a little.

Judge in a slump, get tired of listening to sports radio tell me every day how we've only one one out of the last 15 games or something along those lines; not much to post about.

Todd Frazier! David Robertson! Is Jason Giambi still playing?

Whoever thought the day would come when our most valuable outfielder would be Brett Gardner?

Bye Joe, apparently 10 years is about all a Yankee manager gets.

Whoever they hire has to have the constitution to win or die. Don't think the next guy gets 10 years. Unless he wins a Series like Joe within the first 2.

Brett Gardner was the most valuable outfielder for short periods of time lots of times in his career. I'm pretty sure you were overreacting to Judge's slump, particularly considering in August he was still more productive than gardner.

Higher OPS, more runs scored, pore runs batted in

Do you spend an inordinate amount of time winning arguments with yourself?

There were short stretches in the season where Gardner was hitting out of his mind while Judge was batting 6th ot 7th (yeah, overreacting to doing nothing but striking out at a record clip), Hicks (hurt), Ellsbury (hurt and then useless).

Your two month hindsight is incredible.

No, I'd rather spend my time my arguing about melo, Fisher, Phil Jackson, and Hornacek like this forum has the last six years without any help from me.

Judge was the Yankees best outfielder from opening day to game six of the ALCS. We both know what you posted was because of judge's slump.

Correct. A string of games for judge that was historically bad. And since you have amazing powers of cognizance about what we both know, can you tell me why you have some sort of mental block about Gardner having career best production at points in the season when Judge was struggling? Did Gardner ever have to get moved down in the lineup? Or does that not figure into your thought process?

Maybe a blocked it out out because it never happened?

Find me a month Judge struggled and Gardner thrived at the same time.

In August, while Judge was "historically bad", Gardner was worse.

I'm excited about the Yankees...

They need to back the prospect truck up to Miami and bring Giancarlo Stanton to the Bronx.

They also need to get Shohei Otani.

Then let it ride...

Yanks are stacked... time to cash in. Bring back the murderers row... dare pitchers to throw down the middle against us. With Stanton tanks would have 4-5 guys that can hit well over 30 homers... Bronx homers on Molly.

This i command!!!!

Judge had shoulder surgery. That could be seen as a good thing (maybe 2nd half inconsistency was due to injury) or a bad thing (body is not durable, may not be 100% at start of next season).

At this point, I like where we are. I wouldn't go all in on Manny Machado or another pitcher. Just sit tight now and go with what we have in house to fill in the rest. I like Andujar at 3rd--he's earned a shot. Great arm and a real live bat. And go with Torres at 2nd and Chance Adams if we need another starter. All 3 of those guys are high end and have earn a chance. Absolutely no pressure on those 3 guys too -- hit Andujar and Torres 8th and 9th and Adams right now is the 6th starter. Then there's Domingo Acevedo and Abreu after him who might be even better. Justus Sheffield too.. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. Ok, so we lost out on Cole and Darvish wants too much money. No problem. Not like we don't have our own options ready to go. Damn good ones.

Just reading that although Torres should be ready (apparently position players only take 6 months to rehab from TJ while pitchers take at least a year), they still may start Torres in the minors for a couple of weeks -- reading that if Torres is sent down for 12 days, then we gain another year of control on him. Yanks may say they don't wanna rush him but if he plays well this spring and doesn't make the opening day roster, this may be why. Might have to start at 2nd with Torreyes or this Jace Peterson. Should only be for 12 days though..

2018 Season !!!

Good pickup of Drury. Young, inexpensive, Gives Andujar time to improve his defense in the minors.
Where is everyone?

Briggs-- Frank is 2 yrs away from being 2 years away

Judge in the lead off spot! Sanchez may not lead the league in bad catching!
Our starting pitching is not terribly awe inspiring, but that bullpen looks like all kinds of freakin awesome on paper.

Bird is hurt again???

Fixed.
