  1. The Top 3 are pretty set but that 4th spot isn't as easy as just slotting Lauer in there to me. I'd probably piggy-back 2 of Bassitt, Lauer and Berrios depending on the matchup.
  2. Another Ross Atkins W
  3. So glad we didn’t trade for that bum Joe Ryan lmao
  4. I agree with everyone on the #1 or 2 seed but the calculus doesn't change a whole lot compared to winning the AL East. 80.5% chance to win the East and 72.5% chance to secure a bye. The Astros and Mariners fading a lot, with the Tigers not doing a whole lot to run away with things has really helped.
  5. That Judge injury and him struggling in his return has had to have made it close
  6. Reported for politics
  7. In other words, today is a must-win game
  8. Here's an example of where things stand. If we go 15-16 the rest of the way, that gives us 91 wins. In order to get to 92, the Yanks would need to go 22-10 the rest of the way. Their schedule is cake, but even so they do have to play us, the Astros, the Tigers and the Red Sox. If we go 16-15, the Yanks have to go 23-9, etc.....
  9. Fangraphs (who considers the schedule) is projecting the Yankees to finish with 89 wins and the Red Sox to finish with 87. Since we own the tiebreakers, I do think 89 wins could realistically take the division but that would be cutting it close. 90 and up and we have a great shot. Like you said 93 or even 92 probably gets it done for sure.
  10. The Yankees' schedule is so cake from here on out. Hopefully Baltimore shows up for the 7 games against them. They've been playing better and probably hate the Yankees as much as anyone so they should be motivated.
  11. Manfred is going to get rid of the American and National League and will institute Eastern and Western instead
  12. Little been pretty lights out in every month but August so far and that's largely due to one bad outing against LAD. He can run a really high walk rate, even higher than most high-k/elite relievers, because his K rate and GB rate are both so good. Even so, walking over 6 per 9 doesn't seem good. Needs to get that down in the 4s.
  13. It's all Seattle's fault. Just contract the team rather than jumping through all these expansion and realignment hoops.
  14. So the Marlins were going to go Quantrill-Junk-Eury Perez but they put Quantrill on waivers yesterday. So probably see Ryan Gusto instead? Their whole rotation is TBD for the upcoming series but it's probably something like; Bieber vs. TBD Berrios vs. Junk Gausman vs. E. Perez
  15. Well that's better. He has an option next year so I assume we tender him and use him as depth. I'm not expecting much beyond that though. Here's an article which discusses his elaborate glove raise. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/notes-on-more-pitching-rehabbers/
  16. Kirk's flyout would have been a homer in Yankee Stadium lol
  17. My impression is that he's not, they want to leverage tomorrow's offday to give him a full 72 hours of rest
  18. Yeah no need to be careful with the two guys who are the biggest injury risks on the team in Bieber who is coming off TJS and Max whose 41 year old thumb is hanging on by a thread Gausman (4th most innings in baseball the past 5 years) doesn't need any rest either Ramp it up boys! It's playoff time! 😂
  19. Interesting strategy. I think most teams (the ones who can afford to anyway) try to get their starters some form of rest, though I'm not sure that will come in the form of a 6-man rotation or not. But here you are suggesting they ramp up! Did you manage an MLB team in the 1970s per chance?
  20. I could see a 6-man rotation during the stretch in September where we play 13 straight games.
  21. When rosters expand in September, a 6-man rotation becomes easier with the extra bullpen arm. Until then, Bieber, Gausman, and Scherzer are the clear top three, and Bassitt isn’t a bullpen fit. That leaves Berríos and Lauer. Lauer has bullpen experience seems to be a better fit as a longman than Berríos, and he Bassitt now have shorter leashes with Lauer in the pen. It also gives Lauer useful pen reps ahead of the playoffs, where he could be valuable if a starter falters early.
