Dude- regardless of contract- his year was massive. Somehow 120 runs, 40+ HR, 100+ RBI almost 40 steals is just a good season “perhaps” a mediocre season?
Soto was not a draw in San Diego. This year the Padres had 71 sellouts and there's a waiting list for season tickets.
Soto had a great year numbers wise. I'm not a Met fan but if I needed one player up with the game on the line from that team Soto would be my third choice after Lindor and Alonso. Unless of course you needed a walk.
Back to the Yanks. As I’ve said all season. I have no confidence in them with the playoffs, but once again the AL kind of blows. They can get knocked out now or make it to the WS. They ended the season on a roll, but it was mostly against garbage teams.
The starters are on a serious roll- that is key to making a great run. Now- this is the season Judge needs to erase all of his playoff woes. I have a feeling he is on fire and carries this for the Yanks.
The NL isn't all that great either. It's truly any team can win it all.
Definitely agreed. Maybe that blind squirrel Cashman can finally find a nut in the era of analytics.
he had a pretty good season...even though Soto would have been a great Yankee- by not signing him- he signed Fried/Belanger/Goldschmidt - Chisholm ends up a good signing and the pickups of McMahon and Caballero solidified and lit a fire under others. Bednar was also a really good pickup.
If he doesn't will you throw that car battery at Cashman you promised in the Mets thread?
"Pretty good season" will be determined over the next few weeks. Not the past 6 months.
Damn straight. Cashman analytics is a scourge upon the entire organization and has held the farm season back for the past decade. I would fire Cashman even if we win the WS.If he doesn't will you throw that car battery at Cashman you promised in the Mets thread?
Well, from trade deadline on,,team has been very good…The GM needs to build the team to get you there. Players have to win it
To be precise, it was about a week after the trade deadline... that first week had 2-3 brutal losses where they threw away wins and the new guys aided in that. Since then, you're right, the team has been largely playing well.
I really think it was one of Cashman's better years.
Benching half your lineup for a bunch of bad slap hitters because there is a tough lefty on the mound is prime Boone/Cashman analytics for you.
Maybe in another 10-15 years, those 2 morons will learn that regular season analytics don't mean **** in the postseason. Just one of the many flaws with Cashman analytics.
The Yanks lost this game last winter when Cashman and his moronic analytics stuck around. Who is the Paul O’Neil or Scott Brosuis on this team? Who has the heart of a champion and the fight needed in the postseason? Those players don’t fit with Cashman’s regular season analytics. You can’t measure those qualities with data.
If that was a regular season game Rosario would not be there. Overthinking it because it was the playoffs.
I don’t disagree. Was just saying that 6 for 9 at least makes a case. But not playing a 30/30 guy that plays with heart…that is very questionable
Our lineup is too focused and confused with trying to optimize velo and launch angle. LOL! And as you point out, what they did with Jazz is definitive proof that these morons don't have a clue.
Boone's excuse for removing Fried, after Chrochet threw 117 pitches, is ridiculous.
Stupid is as stupid does. Boone is just a puppet of Cashman analytics.
And Weaver is the guy he grabs from the BP when his ERA since coming back from injury is over 5.00?!?! That’s another Nestor type move that back-fired in epic fashion. I’ll put my money on Fried handling the bottom of the line-up for one more inning.
If this is a failure, what about the dad that raised his son to be an RU fan? LOL.
My dad was a NY/SF Giants fan and my mom a Brooklyn/LA fan. They didn't fail me, I just pissed them both off.
