I have been very high on Jasson’s potential because he has had elite swing decisions all season, despite not really having the results to back it up until July.
And it was, an easy 451. Just as I was saying to myself ‘does this guy ever put up competitive ABs?’, BANG! Congrats, Giancarlo, #58 alltime to 400.
I was just coming here to ask you guys opinion on their chances. They are on fire right now and some of the teams ahead are stumbling or outright free falling [Rangers]. You do face the Blue Jays twice, so can make up ground on them.
They need to go probably at least 20-4 including at least 8-2 against TOR/BOS and then maybe they have a 40 percent chance or so. I'm not holding my breath but it's been fun since the kids came up.
I said before the season that he was probably the most important player as to how they'd do, so, yeah.
Dominguez is much younger than those guys though, Sanchez and Judge were 23 and 24 when they came up in mid-2016. Dominguez is still 20.
Yeah, just comparing the offensive tears to start the careers. Crazy thing is he won’t turn 21 until right before 2024 ST. We’ll see how he finishes September but he’s getting a ton of good experience to take into the offseason, which I’m sure the Yankees were hoping for.
Not watching but they only have a few lefties in that lineup and Bauers has been awful for months.
Optimistic is not the right word. I guess you just love to exhaust all possibilities! You exhaust me. This team has exhausted us ever since Judge hurt his toe in LA. Then we were thrilled to see Dominguez flashing in the big leagues. And then he got hurt. But still, we root for them. As someone said yesterday, we just don’t watch much.
King has been formidable. And pulled with two outs in the fifth. That must be the biggest worry a manager and pitching coach share, the risk of injury.
The lack of hitting was really tough to watch. So many swings and misses. Somebody said the big swing might work for Judge but not everyone else in the lineup.
