@YANKEES 3-12

Recommended Posts

I started this thread early (6:35 start) to mention something I saw. I clicked on mlb.com's O's schedule (https://www.mlb.com/orioles/schedule/2019-03

We're @ Yankees so I changed the addy "orioles" to "yankees" to see if they were broadcasting the game. Yes it is on YES, hopefully I'll have a live stream. The interesting thing was, when I got to the Skanks' page a box popped up in the bottom right corner. Pretty girl with headphones on, "Ticket questions? Click here to chat."

We don't have that. I changed it to the Red Sox schedule and they don't have it either. Cutting edge innovations everywhere in baseball! Even in the marketing department.

Takes a second to come up.  https://www.mlb.com/yankees/schedule/2019-03

Chris Davis makes him triumphant return from having a sore hip.  Will he be able to double (or even triple!!?!?) his hit total for the entire spring in one game?

Cedric Mullins CF
Austin Hays RF
Chris Davis DH
Renato Núñez 3B
Chance Sisco C
Stevie Wilkerson 2B
Rio Ruiz 1B

Oh exactly 1 second after Jim Hunter says, “Mike Wright is really benefiting from the new analytics” there is a swing and a base hit.

I think Tony mentioned somewhere that Wright’s Success this spring has been a mirage, and he made enough valid solid points that I cannot but agree with him. However, we might as well bring him North and let him get whammed a couple of times before we cut him loose.

I remember last season when Buck was constantly saying, “if not him, who?” When asked why he kept throwing terrible pitchers onto the mound.

I wanted to scream, “that’s what the off-season is for, you fool!” Fortunately, now, we can answer the question with, “we’ve got a bunch of other guys we could put out there, and we’re going to.” So I’m not the least bit worried about Wright Being terrible.

2 minutes ago, OldNewGuy said:

Nunez makes a good enough throw to get the runner at second and start a twin killing. Wright out of inning. 

I’m really interested in why Nunez is starting at third against this lineup? Ruiz should have third base pretty much locked up, so he should probably be starting against the A-line ups,Shouldn’t he?

    • There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch. 
    • We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs. 
    • Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…
    • I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.
    • It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?  
    • My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.
    • Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
