  1. They may push him into the '90s tonight. He looks electric out there.
  2. It's not been his most efficient night but he's getting it done. Hopefully he can give us one more inning and then the bullpen takes over.
  3. He's a good one, it's distressing to see for the Yankees.
  4. Who said anything about respect?
  5. Sorry for not being the blind optimist you apparently want me to be. The truth is unfortunate at times. Vlad is out, and that's that. It's not a big deal. Now calm your tits and let's enjoy the game and hope for a Blue Jays win.
  6. If I actually saw any real adjustments in his swing that were leading to him swinging better I might believe in it but he just happened to run into a few more balls, but his approach is the same as the one we've seen for a year and a half. So no I'm not buying it, and look his replacement just hit a double! Anyhow, let's just talk about the game. Vlad is out and your whining won't change that.
  7. Naw that was pretty good. I'm supposed to haven't used your great "lol" comeback yet. The greatest burn of all time. I must really be getting under your skin. Let's get back to the game and stop hijacking this thread.
  8. I don't like you now, I didn't like you before either.
  9. I think people are putting way too much weight on him being in the lineup, we have other capable players, it's not the end of the world, and a few days off might be good for him. We have some tough pitching coming up and we need guys who can put together quality at bats and he really hasn't done that very often.
  10. If only the season were 20 days long... Is this like one of your Varsho "hot streaks"
  11. King got hit when he went into the stretch. Maybe just a fluke.
  12. Because he'll get creamed against good pitching anyhow, probably make one or two stupid base running errors that costs us even if he does get on. Besides, they haven't given him nearly enough days off, maybe if he's forced out for a couple of games, it might do him some good.
  13. Normally Boone is just a primadonna. But he's absolutely correct so far today.
  14. And yet very correct, I can only imagine what that makes you.
  15. Yes suggesting that a player that hasn't provided hardly any value over the course of 150 games might not hurt us by being out of the lineup is equivalent to wishing suicide. Brilliant stuff there.
  16. Sure, that's the easy part, the discussion here is what do you do if they just don't buy in? There are those of us that say, at some point you have to have balls as an organization, and there's others that say no balls necessary.
  17. Agreed, wouldn't bother me at all if we played the rest of the season without him.
  18. Then it's on us to kick Tampa's ass. The fact of the matter is we have a lot of really tough pitching matchups coming up, we can't expect to trip and fall backwards into the playoffs, we have to beat good teams and we have to beat great pitchers or we don't deserve to get in. I'm not necessarily saying we're going to do it, but that's the task at hand.
  19. That s*** doesn't happen anymore. Guys are too soft and everyone's too sensitive. You're not allowed to have that kind of leadership anymore.
  20. No Vladdy. Maybe it's a good thing.
  21. Actually sending a message is very important, you have to establish what will and won't go in your organization, no one player is going to be bigger than the organization, ever. But the other point of it is you can't count on them long-term, you can't count on bodies like that and attitudes like that, it's going to f*** you in the end if you don't get rid of people who refuse to be professional. Sure it's possible that maybe you can remain an obese everyday player and not break down until you're in your mid-30s but the odds are against it.
  22. Those are the primary options and you establish that before the off-season in private to give them a fair chance to get in shape, offer them all the resources in the world, their own chef and trainer the whole nine yards. At that point, if you've told them what you expected of them, and it's a reasonable thing to expect, and you've given them the resources, and they flat out refuse then you can't go forward with players like this. You can't have core pieces who don't want to be professionals, and professionals have to take their bodies seriously. The alternative is to send a message to everyone in your organization that you're not going to take fitness and nutrition seriously, to run these guys out there and then what? Do you lock them up to long-term contracts with those bodies? Do you wait for them to break down and then try to trade them? You can't count on them long term so if you have to cut bait then cut bait.
  23. Well the Yankees suck, in theory Gausman should do well, but then again we suck against good pitching so King should do well. Bet the under. Game might be determined by one big swing from somebody.
