Another righty that's a DH first, when we already have Judge, Stanton, and Bauers

The fact that they keep sending him out there when he couldn’t get blindfolded hitters out is appalling. His ERA after that inning is 7.82 for the season. Quite literally creeping up on allowing on average 1 run per inning.

Been sharing that left and right since I saw it. I could’ve sworn Cano came up through the farm system.
He did, got signed in '01, worked thru the system till '05.

Rizzo hitting the IL for a concussion he suffered in May
Sevy getting the yips a la Chuck Knoblauch
What a sh*t show this has become
Verlander back at the Stadium for Saturday's game. Can we please f*ck his sh*t up?

Someone on reddit showed that every team the yanks had that won the pennsnt, had a majority of lefties and switch hitters. Cashman's whole philosophy about it not mattering is so wild

Another example of his idiocy, arrogance, and need to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room instead of just doing what works even when the move to make is obvious because he doesn’t think he’ll get enough credit for taking the open layup instead of shooting the double clutch fadeaway over 2 defenders from 16 feet. It’s what you do when the stadium you play in is friendly to lefty hitting. I played a game of mlb the show last night where I’m using all classic 90’s to early 2000’s players besides judge & DJ since there’s no Paul O’Neill or Scott Brosius (as close as I can get to a classic team since the show doesn’t have classic teams like how 2K does) & I was hitting with Jason Giambi. We were in Miami & I hit a long fly ball down the line in right that Stanton catches right at the wall and my first thought is that the ball is gone by 21 feet if it’s hit to that spot in the Bronx. You have to build your lineup to take advantage of your stadium and to have balance in general. Here’s their ranking in the majors in terms of plate appearances taken by lefty batters vs right handed pitching since 2009 (I’m sure that includes switch hitters):
2009: 1st
2010: 1st
2011: 5th
2012: 8th
2013: 12th
2014: 2nd
2015: 1st
2016: 3rd
2017: 15th
2018: 19th
2019: 29th
2020: 28th
2021: 29th
2022: 23rd
2023: 27th
It’s been a long time now that skinny Krause hasn’t cared about having lefty bats in the lineup (yet another reason to hate him for not going after Bryce Harper and Corey Seager or going all in to get Bryan Reynolds). I think he’s become terrified of the shifted infield vs lefty batters after seeing what it did to some of the lefties he’s brought in as if you can shift to that extent anymore. Sometimes it isn’t on him entirely like in 2019 where Hicks played 59 games, Didi missed half the year, and Greg Bird officially didn’t pan out, but these numbers are unacceptable. If your team plays in that stadium, you have to have lefty hitters all throughout the lineup. Look at their last title team, which I think might be the most ideally constructed batting order I’ve ever seen regardless of the stadium they play in:
Jeter (R)
Damon (L)
Texiera (S)
Rodriguez (R)
Matsui (L)
Posada (S)
Canó (L)
Swisher (S)
Cabrera (S)
Gardner (L)
There’s 2 full time righty hitters in that lineup out of the 10 guys who saw the most playing time
. This isn't that complicated, but of course even when he finally goes after a lefty batter like he did in 2021 after opening the year with 1 switch hitter & 0 lefties on the roster (his counter argument was that they have righties who hit to opposite field more than most righties as if that makes up for having no balance in the lineup), he goes after a career .206 hitter who strikes out 230 times per 162 games as his first target. I can only sum his career up in 1 visual image:/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/2663214/nobrandon.0.gif "brandon")

Running Sevy out there every 5 days needs to be considered cruel and unusual punishment
It’s crazy cause he is considered one of the better cash draft picks the last ten years
