Ah, another year of second guessing the lineup every single day!

I don’t know why people keep lumping O’Hearn in on posts like this. The guy had one of the few over .800 OPS on the team last year. He’s not remotely the problem.

I heard that he was initially scheduled to be DH, but told Hyde, “if Burnes doesn’t want me to catch him, then I don’t wanna play!”  Then he was seen softly sobbing in a corner of the locker room.

So much for the personal catcher drama.  

Maybe, but like I said, I would have been shocked if Adley didn’t start this time since Hyde was finally questioned about it and he pulled the “just a coincidence” card even though it obviously wasn’t.

I just knew that would happen. Hope it doesn't turn into a bad start for Burnes. 

Opposing hitters have a .542 OPS when Adley catches Burnes.

Well, you may think that, but I doubt Hyde gives a damn if the public thinks McCann is Burnes’ personal/preferred catcher.  He’s not making out his lineup card to throw them off the scent.

I can't imagine someone actually believing that a major league manager would make this decision to sway fan perception.

He’s not gonna want it to become a distraction either.

You obviously haven't read the rest of the thread.  This doesn't DISprove the personal catcher theory, it actually PROVES it because it comes right after Hyde was asked about it for the first time.  Don't you see?  He's just trying to throw us off the scent!

You are so naive you can't see the layers of this conspiracy when they are right under your nose.

I mean, it doesn’t really matter what happens now. The question is whether you believe McCann catching Burnes 5 times in a row was a coincidence, or Adley starting a night game and 2 day games back-to-back-to-back was a coincidence. 
 

It obviously wasn’t, but some people still foolishly believe it was.

Camden Yards (defense) and starting pitchers like Wheeler, should have got a start yesterday against Walker. Should be able to get a start in New York In the meantime do like Hays, stay ready if called.

Because it’s a RHP, Urias has been hitting well and Mateo offers speed off the bench if needed in late innings.

I had been wondering the same thing. Thanks. I think Westy 3B and Mateo 2B is superior, but I understand the reasoning.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.

      It sure does feel that way.

      They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!

      It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.

      Maybe Witt, he's signed for 11 years.

      All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
