Well all the media focus has been on Carlos Rodon, and how the Yankees for some reason have the pitching edge. I guess Shane Bieber is suddenly some no-named schlub. -
I'm surprised to see that Bieber has reverse splits this year. His splits have been pretty even for his career. I wonder if that's just small sample size or if there's something more to it.
-
I think the narrative in the US media about tomorrow's game has been very disrespectful to Bieber. Everyone is talking about how the Yankees have the pitching edge. I get that Bieber is coming off an injury, maybe he doesn't look like 100% of his old self just yet, maybe his stuff plays a little bit more into the Yankees strength than our first two starters, but Rodon has done what exactly?

I don't think there's any shame in losing to that Dodgers team. It's infuriating but that's a tough team to beat.
-
f*** the Dodgers man. Why not just pay for an All-Star at every base too? Then pat yourselves on the back some more.

Well nobody should speculate on what we would have received had we traded Vlad in terms of a return. It's very hard to really understand the enormous domino effect of a 15-year half a billion dollar contract until many years down the road. In the intermediate term, we have the Bo free agency, we have gaps in our rotation with Gausman locked up for only one more year and Berrios locked up for too many. Bieber is either gone or may cost a pretty penny to keep. Only 1 more year of Springer and who knows how much longer he can do this anyhow. A big money decision needs to be made on Varsho soon. We can talk all we want about the minor leagues but we don't know until they're here. Yesavage looks like a piece for sure. Barger too, maybe even Schneider, but we need to see it for more than just a part of a season from them to know if they're really part of a core. I just think there's still a lot of gaps and it'll be very expensive to fill because as of right now we don't know if we really have enough young players to fill it. Too many questions marks.

Maybe they saw the Kevin Cash PTSD crazy look in his eyes and left him alone.
-
I try not to pick preferred opponents because I've seen that not work out too many times in the past. But I have said before that I'm not all that enamored with the Tigers as a team, except for that one guy. I think the Mariners are far more complete.
-
Oh don't I know. I can empathize.
-
Yes I already addressed that above. Are we done or are you going to keep this going?
-
Happy to hear it!
-
Didn't you just play the I told you so card? And we have different definitions of what "in it" means. Cheers.
-
Oh there's a lot of things you can't grasp, but I'm not going to be vitriolic about it. I do hope you are managing to enjoy yourself and not dragging yourself down here.
-
Right because you thought they were World Series contenders back then? Oh but you had hope, but you see that's the whole point, you always have hope for a team that hasn't won anything since 1993. But they turned it around, and now those of incessant hope are geniuses? I mean if you have hope every year, yeah you're going to hit the jackpot once in awhile. But it's been a great ride and I don't know why everyone is looking for a fight today when we should all be very happy. So be happy and stop being so miserable.
-
Really because for somebody that you think is always depressed I'm a pretty happy guy. Having a blast in the last couple of days especially. It is telling that by simply having criticism of one's team that people believe this actually leads to depression. I hope you and everybody else here is having fun with this great ride we've been on.
-
Yes and I still believe for the long term we would have been better off doing so including trading Guerrero. I guess we'll get those answers in the coming years. But I've also said that I would gladly trade one championship for 10 years of misery so if we get that championship I lay down my arms.
-
Not everybody obviously, but some people are too dismissive other teams' accomplishments in this division.
-
I knew it was the Bo stuff that got you mad 🤣 I have my feelings about the Bo situation, but I've already said I'm not going to mention him anymore because he's not on the roster so what's the point? Besides at this point it's just beating a dead horse. If he doesn't play we got to win without him, and if he does come back to play, great.
-
Glad you brought that up. Really glad. Because it goes to my point that despite the successes of other teams in the AL East, people on here constantly refuse to give any credit to any team not named Toronto. So yes I try to act as a counterbalance to the obvious fanboyism that goes on here. You and others constantly act as if other teams in the American League East never deserve any credit and you call me a bird? Which by the way I don't even know how that's an insult, maybe for Newfoundlanders. Who the f*** calls people birds?
-
When did I say they have no chance? I specifically said the Yankees are more talented but of course the Jays have a chance. In that same post I said the only unbeatable team I've ever seen in my life was KD's Warriors. I also said this year's Dodgers if healthy is pretty close but even they wouldn't be unbeatable. I think it's tough to be truly unbeatable in baseball Edit: FYI, I have also said the Jays were the second best team in the AL. So I haven't refused to acknowledge that they are good.
-
Our rotation was in trouble and we needed help, imagine what our rotation would be without him right now. Also at the time I was under the impression that he had to be called up before September 1st, that's when I was really mad but then that was cleared up. But I though it was important to get a long look at him. But there's a big difference between wanting him called up because we were in desperate need of SOMEBODY, and proclaiming that he's a Cy Young winner in the making. You just look like you are looking for a fight for no good reason. Your response to my post is completely disproportionate.
-
It's not a mortal sin to say that the Yankees are more talented team. I understand the Yankees hate and I share it, but people go too far with their Yankees hate to the point where they don't give them nearly enough credit. Red Sox too, we have certain people on here (I won't name names but if you know, you know) who can watch the Red Sox win 3 titles in a row and still think they are a s*** organization.

Wow everyone's gone unhinged. How the f*** is it poor behavior to temper expectations? People have flipped their lid. Sometimes I think I'm on Reddit.
