    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Got anything to contribute on the thread subject? What did you think of the article I posted about Judge being a mistake-pitch hitter?

    Alex Cora named Red Sox manager

    Great addition! I knew there was another hothead pitcher that I was missing. LOL

    Let's get crazy (risky acquisitions and offseason plans)

    Why would the Yankees trade talent for Stanton when they can possibly sign Harper a year from now? Honestly, I don't see the Yankees getting back into a record-breaking contract for a position player when they've fought so hard to get out from under huge longterm contracts in the past. They...

    Alex Cora named Red Sox manager

    I like your thinking! Everett for hitting coach, Alcantara for assistant hitting coach, and Aceves for pitching coach.

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    I've been a diehard Sox fan since the '70s, it would be impossible to not know what it was like here 15 years ago. Never had time to post back then, so yeah I'm a newbie. Came back hoping things had changed.

    WS: DODGERS VS ASTROS

    I'd like to think it was because they were sure the Dodgers would win, but who knows!

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Are you confusing me with the guy who mocked me for saying the Astros are a better team than the Yankees, and that I should "watch and observe" the games like him because that's why he "changed his opinion" midseries and decided the Yankees would win AFTER Game 5? Glass houses, man (not you...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Dude, Who is self immolating? A few people have gotten frustrated because they didn't like what I wrote and couldn't prove me wrong, so they resorted to personal attacks and dramatic departures from conversing with me. I have done neither. Maybe I joined at a bad time for the Yankee fans who...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Great article reinforcing what I've been saying about Judge all along, he relies on mistake pitches. http://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Yankees-Aaron-Judge-has-been-exposed-in-12280027.php (Moderator edit: Don't repost full articles)

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Yeah, I figured. Didn't want to assume though, in case it was just a joke-type avatar thing. A Red Sox fan getting shouted down and insulted by Yankee fans on a Red Sox forum, just for saying Judge underperformed and for saying the Astros & Tribe are the best two teams in the AL. Explains a...

    ALCS: Yankees vs Astros (Non-Yankees Fan Version)

    What part of Central CT, northern half or southern half? I'm a numbers guy, so of course I'll refer to the most recent Quinnipiac poll. ;) http://fox61.com/2016/06/09/yankees-beat-red-sox-in-qu-poll-of-connecticut-fans-favorite-teams/ The Yankees are still number one in the hearts of...

    ALCS: Yankees vs Astros (Non-Yankees Fan Version)

    I think the fanbases are a factor as well. Dodgers fans are very laid back, very chill. And Magic Johnson is a lot more likeable than the Steinbrenners.

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Just curious, why the Girardi avatar? Are you a Yankee fan? (not that there's anything wrong with it) I provided one example, which is all that's needed. What do you want me to do, spend an hour providing 30 more examples so it can be brushed off by someone who refuses to acknowledge they...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Safe to say you disagree with me that Judge underperformed in the postseason? If he stays healthy throughout 2018, what kind of numbers do you think he'll put up including K's?

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    I'm trying to have a friendly conversation focused on baseball, and I'm getting criticized for (among other things): 1) Stating the Astros are a better team than the Yankees 2) Stating Judge underperformed in the postseason 3) Not specifying the Napoli vs Verlander Game 3 homerun was in the...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    Honestly didn't think I'd have to spell out "2013 ALCS" after mentioning Napoli vs Verlander, top of the 7th, Game 3. I'll be sure to add "1975 World Series" if I ever happen to mention Pudge's gamewinning homer off the foul pole. :rolleyes:

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    I have no clue how you extrapolated "in trouble with the law" from "off the field issues". Besides injury, "off the field issues" could refer to a number of things: Divorce, death in the family, financial problems, drinking problem, etc. And perhaps you missed it, but I already acknowledged...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    You inexplicably said "I genuinely don't know what you are talking about here. Napoli isn't even on the Red Sox." So I politely pointed out to you that Napoli is just one example disproving your belief that "everyone struggles against quality pitchers when they are on". The fact he is no...

    Are The Yankees Really This Good?

    You had said "doesn't everyone struggle against quality pitchers when they are on?". I used Napoli/Verlander as an example because Verlander was a quality pitcher that was very much "on" that entire postseason, similar to how he is this postseason (not counting his first-ever relief...

    ALCS: Yankees vs Astros (Non-Yankees Fan Version)

    I think Central CT had more Sox fans back in the day because of the Bristol/New Britain AA connection. When you can follow and get to know prospects, you tend to stick with them in the majors. I vividly remember how I became a Sox fan. Every day a classmate named Mark would repeat the same...
