OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread
- Thread starter WhiteBus
- Start date
I'm pretty sure that Boone is not a babbling idiot so he's aware of his regression. He rode the hot hand for as long as he could.
Fried and Rodon having amazing year, dominating,, softening losing Cole. We have the second highest batting avg in the league at .261 and until recently had the lowest ERA at 2.7 but have now slipped to 13th at 3.76.
You can hear the Royals broadcaster say "ugh" under his breath.
Royals offense is so putrid.
There letting a great player like Witt waste his talent.
Reminds me of what happened to Mike Trout.
Trade Chisolm for Witt. Jaz is such an unlikeable douchebag.

Bobby Witt would require Jazz and probably 5 of our best prospects. And the Royals would still laugh at the idea.
I've been saying that for a while. Although he has pitched better this year than last.
I still cringe when he's warming up in the bullpen. I guess they don't have many other options at this point.
Oh...and I like what Jazz brings to the team.
Greatest HR hitter of all time? (okay, perhaps #2 behind the Babe)

Judge becomes the fastest -- by a LOT -- to reach 350 homers
NEW YORK -- Yankees megastar Aaron Judge is used to breaking new ground with his prodigious power -- and Saturday was no different. In the ninth inning of a 5-2 loss to the Cubs, Judge connected on the 350th home run of his sensational career, becoming the fastest to reach

Regardless of what team you are a fan of- Judge is just an amazing player. And guys his size are not usually as good in the field as he is too.
If he did not play for RU I could care less. AND if he did not play FB at RU I could care a lot more less
At this rate he might break into double digit career meaningful homers by the end of the year
You're complaining about this thread?? Wake up, this board is dead! Talk about being brain dead!
Cant tell if this thread isnt getting traction again or we are all just over the lack luster performance of the team. Fielding hitting, baserunning, pitching, and coaching has been rough.
Acuna's throw was incredible but where the hell was the third base coach on that one? This team needs to wake up.

This team is very mediocre. The only good news is that the entire AL kind of blows, just like last season.

Looking at who you posted as being there- the player who’s lifetime stats always sneaks on me is Soriano- somehow he just happened to hit over 400 HR…
That's because he played for 17 years. Only hit 40 home runs once. He also moved around a lot. Played for bad Texas and Nationals teams. A declining Cub club. He had good years but no one was paying attention.
Even playing 17 years- 400 HR is impressive no matter how you look at it.
That averages to 23.5 home runs a year. Most baseball analysts would call him a compiler. Definition of a "compiler" is a player who accumulates high career totals in various statistics, like hits, home runs, or RBIs, primarily due to playing for a long time, rather than achieving exceptional peak performance in a short span
He fits that definition perfectly.
It is part of the reason I said that the number of 400+ HR is always surprising when I see it for him. But, on the other hand, any ball player with 7 years of over 30+ HR and 10 years of over 26 HR...isn't all that bad. Heck- Baines never hit 30 and Rolen only did it 3 times. I would have Soriano in the "Baines" category. Which means very good players but certainly no HOF.
Back when I was growing up 25 home runs was a big deal. It isn't anymore. Today we have 9 players above 24.5 already and it's mid July. What Cal Raleigh is doing as a rookie is amazing. Judge and Ohtani are already HOF locks.
Unfortunately in his time in baseball people are still questioning who was or who wasn't on ped enhancers.
I liked Soriano when he was a Yankee. Wouldn't put him in one of the best category.
not putting into one of the best- But he does fit in there with guys like Baines. And agree that 25 HR meant a lot more before launch angles and striking out 200 times. But it is pretty darn good to have a 10 year stretch of that sort of consistency. He isn't a guy that I ever went into a game thinking this was the guy we needed to stop, which is why his totals sort of jump out.
Also agree on the thoughts about PED's during his time. Hate to say it though, I would put money on there being as much cheating now as there ever was.
Don't care. Only West Coast team I pay attention to is the Dodgers. Thought he was a rookie because until this year I never heard of him.You only missed by 5 years
And your math isn't that good. I missed by 4 years.
I'll remember that the next time you get all over someone's sh*t for being wrong. You will, as sure as death and taxes, lol...Actually I see many of your targets haven't figured out how to get over to this site.
And you will come back with a faulty response, as sure as death and taxes!
