Good shyt @Grifter on that article. Part 2 might be even more damning. The fact that these guys keep playing sevy is malpractice. He might be the worst pitcher in baseball this year and he goes every 5 days anyway. He’s an automatic loss and they send him out there anyway. It’s hard to wrap my mind around how awful this organization has become since Steinbrenner died. It’s like they turned into the 2007-20 Sacramento kings. Everything they touch turns to shyt except Judge and Cole. Anyone taking bets on a report at the end of the year surfacing that he played hurt all year and the team covered it up?

Hamilton has never pitched more than 8 innings in a season before this one. Is one of our top relievers and we really wasted him to start a game for one inning. :snoop:

Cashman stays.

This confirms that the Yankees will completely waste Aaron Judge’s prime years.

The best player they’ve had since Alex Rodriguez, and the best home-grown one since Mickey Mantle…won’t ever see a championship because the team owner doesn’t like having a difficult conversation.

I’m not sure there’s a more embarrassing large market sports team on earth.
If Hal was smart he would fire Cashman and hire Luhnow

Hard to miss the playoffs when 30-40% of the league openly tanks for profit alone but they can barely win their own division anymore and routinely get embarrassed by all but 1 team they see in October. By the standards they’re held to they may as well miss the playoffs. What’s losing to Houston, Boston, Anaheim, Tampa, Cleveland, Texas, or Detroit really doing for fan enthusiasm anyway? There’s no silver lining because they never try to fix any of the causes of said loss. They just blame it on bad luck and try to say it’ll be different next time and run it back.

To be fair, the AL East is easily the hardest division to win in ball. The other 3 teams have been getting good for quite some time while the Rays have been on or near the top for a decade now. O’s have flashed the last 2 seasons but finally put it together, and the Jays drafted really really well to get to where they are now.
