Rolling Game Thread for the 2023 Yankees
- Thread starter jon abbey
- Start date
How do they fix the organizational approach to hitting? That love for the home run paid dividends until MLB took the juice out of baseball. Have the Yankees responded yet? We see Volpe come up from the minors, swinging from his ass. Dominguez is second in the Eastern League in strikeouts. Where are the on-base batters who hit to all fields? Why the high chase rate among veteran hitters? Charlie Morton made Judge and Stanton look foolish with his sweeper last night.

What is the lowest number of RBIs to lead a team in a single season? I find it stunning that the Yankees leader on Aug. 18 has 49 and that it is Gleyber Torres, who so many fans wanted to trade.

Hey, the Yankees blew a five run lead in the ninth recently. I'm sure this incredible offense can do the same.
Nothing says you are trying to shake things up and break a long losing streak than starting the immortal Greg Allen.
Might as well bring Willie Calhoun back.

None of the Yankees will admit to it but the playoffs are gone. Now the players work on their stats. Management practices speaking in platitudes. Fans turn to football. The world keeps spinning.
Nope, he has been on the team, he just is a mediocre journeymen. Coincidentally, NY is thinking of changing their team name to the New York Journeymen, so he fits right in.
Ben Rortvedt is now hitting .098. Stanton at .199. Phil Rizzuto would have been leaving the broadcast booth in the second inning on these bums.
Meanwhile Pereira just hit a 3-0 meatball in the 1st inning 476 feet.

Even some of Girardi’s more mediocre teams played hard to the end. Boone has lost these guys. Were they even worth saving?

There is so so so much dead weight, there are probably at least three guys on there that no one here knows are actually on there.
Matt Bowman (?)
Spencer Howard (???)
Anthony Misiewicz (?????)
Plus Peraza (3 for 5 today including a HR and a 3B) and Pereira are already on the 40 man, they don't even need spots!

Since June 27, NY has played 15 series. They break down as follows:
2-0 against OAK and KC (worst two teams in MLB)
0-2 against COL and CWS (3rd and 4th worst teams in MLB)
0-8 against everyone else
(3 split, 2 4 games and 1 2 game)
They have played like a bottom 5 team in MLB for almost a full two months, and if anything are somehow getting worse. If we don't see at least Pereira up after tomorrow, time to riot.

I can't believe this was a real strategy.

I wonder how bad they have to be before Boone gets fired?
Also, the decision not to sell at the deadline looks even more insane now.

The comments Volpe made the other day about the team lacking energy and not having fun might suggest a problem with the overall culture in the clubhouse. That might be more damaging to Boone‘s chances of returning than the win-loss record.
Agree. Casey Stengel used to say he had five enemies in the Clubhouse and five supporters. Everyone else was neutral. And his teams were winning the World Series every October, or so it seemed. Losing makes it all worse. Be interesting to see if Donaldson returns from the 60-day list after his 21-day injury. Highly doubtful.
Just saw the following headline- "New York Yankees to play in 2024 Little League World Series Classic". Watch out for that Taiwan team! (ducks)
They should have bought at the deadline, surrounded Judge with more talent. Maybe a LF, maybe a C, maybe a 3B, maybe some P. Team looks flat.
There were reports that Cashman had some deals in place to move guys but Hal vetoed doing it, presumably in part because not much would be coming back but also to not look like they were giving up. They have talent internally they should be going to, for whatever reason they are still mostly holding off on that, the anti-Angels. They could go to this any time they wanted:
Dominguez CF/LF
Judge RF
Wells C
Torres 2B
Stanton DH
Pereira LF/CF
LeMahieu 1B
Volpe SS
Peraza 3B
That is calling up four new guys, all of whom have to be on the 40 man after the season anyway, 2 of the 4 are already. That is what should happen for their next game on Tuesday, also much less pressure on any one of those guys if they all come up together. If Wells can't catch in MLB, let's find that out, or start playing him somewhere else.

Peraza and Pereira up tomorrow, that makes sense. Wells can come up 9/1 as an extra catcher, he hasn’t been in AAA very long, Dominguez will hopefully be promoted to AAA to fill Pereira’s spot (and Spencer Jones to AA).

Pereira and Peraza in the lineup tonight at LF and 3B, hitting 7th and 8th respectively.
Interestingly NY still only has one lefty in the lineup against a RH starter, and that is #9 hitter Ben Rortvedt. Also interestingly, the Scranton lineup tonight has five lefties and two switch-hitters, so maybe some help for this ongoing issue will be on the way eventually.
