Orioles win; Yankees lose


wildcard

Recommended Posts

God how I love to see the Yankees demolished. I almost am embarrassed by my pleasure. These first two games were pitched by the Yankees top 2 pitchers.Pineda AND C.C..They are imploding.

No need to be embarrassed. Tis a beautiful thing. That house of cards in NY, and the train wrecks in Toronto and Boston are glorious!

I am not embarrassed at all. If the Yankees went 0-162 for the next ten years I'd still root for them to lose each and every day.

When the Orioles are enjoying a blowout victory (it does happen, though it's rare), I lose interest after a while. When the Yankees are getting blown out, I don't have any trouble watching the whole thing, and probably could sit through a slo-mo replay. It's not just the game, it's the crowd, the announcers . . . the whole experience.

I've known only two people whose antipathy for the Yankees exceeds mine. One is my college roommate, a Massachusetts native and Red Sox fan who can't bring himself to go to Yankee Stadium even though he lives in New Yotk. The other disliked the Yankees so much that he wrote a book about it. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1370084.Diary_of_a_Yankee_Hater

I know a guy that hates the Yankees so much, he doesn't even have a favorite team.

As long as the Yankees lose and/or don't win the World Series, he is happy.

He gets extra pleasure when the Mets, the Cardinals, and/or the Red Sox win the World Series, but none of the 3 are his favorite team. As I stated, he doesn't have a favorite team ...... he strictly hates the Yankees.

Correct. This is why people should learn not to pay attention to baseball streaks of 1 month or less. The Yanks were just hot. They are NOT good.

Who do I take from their 25-roster (and DL) based on their age, contract and production?

Dellin Betances

Brett Gardner

Michael Pineda

Chasen Shreve

That's it. Mark Teixeira could be attractive for 1.5 years if half the contract is eaten but... yeah.

    • He's on the Bowie IL. Not sure what is injury is unfortunately. 
    • Not to mention both Miller and O'Day could be counted on to get more than 3 outs if you needed it. I'm not sure you could top that bullpen even if you were able to hand-pick any three relievers in the game today. I'll never forget how fun that was to watch.
    • My report after last year without the statcast data that BA seems to have eyes on now. the two walks so far is what has impressed me. If he can keep that up while missing bats that's big for him. The stuff was legit at times. 53. Moises Chace – RHP (A): The 6-1 right-hander started to put things together a bit late in the summer before getting shut down for an injury. The 20-year old’s fastball sits 92-93 and touches 94-95. His best pitch is a solid average change up that works really well against lefties who slashed just 1.82/.310/.347/.657 off him. Throws a slider and curveball though both pitches are very inconsistent and have to improve. Command overall is still a big problem as his fastball tends to run up and away too often.
    • There have been a TON that are strikes but right on the edge and he's been given basically no leeway on them from umps. Not saying he should get leeway, just that over the course of a season, a lot of those are probably called balls.  It's really been a perfect storm of some bad luck, some tough umps, really tough pitching with high-level stuff and command, and then some normal rookie chasing at times. He's late on a lot of things which to me means he's in between trying to figure out if he should be selective or let it rip. 
    • It will come down to command and consistency for him.  I saw DL Hall give up a HR on a pitch clocked at 100 MPH last year.  My son pitches for his High School team.  He looked at me in amazement and said "How does a guy who throws 100 MPH get hit like that?".  I told him pitching is like Real Estate: Location, Location, Location....
    • Is it still true that they get the MLB health care for life for getting onto the active roster? Or is that a myth.
