Man, I'd much rather see Flaherty than Andino. At least Flaherty looks like he wants to be in the batters box...

And that right field porch is there.

Andino swings like he's a power hitter, and K's like one (way too often for a player like him, who shouldn't be swinging for the fences.).

Andino was 4-8 before that last AB. How has Q been doing lately?

I think you know how he's been doing... I just like Flaherty more than Q or Andino though. Just a preference. I think he has decent pop in his bat, so with the short porch, I'd like to see him play.

The problem is 1) 14 years of losing creates pessimism (especially after the 05 fiasco) and 2) some of us looked at an injured Yankees team and fully expected to go into New York take the Yankees lunch money, shove 'em in a locker and go on our way. They didn't roll over and now everyone is disappointed.

I get the mentality, but what does losing your mind in the second inning do to make it better?

Eh because the Yankees were just going to "roll over" and concede the division.

This team is still in the hunt. I get the 14 years of losing, I was fan for those years as well, but that's not this team. And if this year has taught you anything it is that anything can happen.

Calling a game after the 2nd inning, when we are only down 2 is just downright stupid

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?

      Bullpen 2024

      The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.

      On the replay you can see that Julio was lightly jogging after the ball-- either assuming the RF would get it, or assuming Hays wouldn't run. Good on Hays for taking advantage and turning it into a double.

      I think in general people are more negative in life not just in sports and they need to blame someone or something.  In previous years we had a scapegoat in Peter and John.  Elias didn’t go out and make a trade it was because he didn’t have the money to go get anyone or the owner didn’t want to spend.  Now for the most part people seem to think new ownership will give the ok to spend more so now if we don’t do it it is on Elias, Sig, and Hyde for not getting best out of the players.  We dint make a big trade last year and most people just went with well John is cheap we don’t do what they want now it will fall on Elias more then last year in peoples eyes imo.

      The Yankees have been extremely healthy on offense as well.  If that somehow happens all year they will be right there with us but if I was a betting man I don’t think Judge, Stanton, Rizzo can stay healthy all year and they have very little depth behind those guys.  Besides Adley we have guys at every other position that can fill in if someone goes down.  There might be a drop some but I don’t think it would be catastrophic like losing Judge or Soto.
