Baltimore is in 2nd place & continue to call up prospects.
Yankees have Franchy, Donaldson, McKinney playing over Peraza, Florial, etc…
Either Cashman’s roster construction failed or Fishman’s analytics failed or the whole FO strategy is failing.
The 2023 Yankees are a mess

Give me guys like Rodon and Kahnle all day. Guys who are so angry about the performance that maybe in the moment go a bit too far. Better than “it’s right in front of us” and “I saw some positives”

The Yankees under performed in ‘21,. They blamed the players, brought back the manager and to date have not upgraded the roster at all. Moves will happen but I can’t get over that we’re opening ST with the same roster

Andy Pettite is still one of my top 5 favorite Yankees that I’ve seen live. The bigger the game the better he pitched

Yankees biggest problem in October: their analytics department.
They’re still so obsessed with being the Rays that they continue to degrade their own lineup bc of the opposing team’s pitcher. They’ll defend Clay citing soft contact

In the first game post ASB, when the guys are rested the Yankees put an Infielder in LF and had a designated hitter who’s BA is .147. Yup that’s where we are
The Yankees are tied for last place in the AL East this late in the season for the first time since August 23, 1992

This is why the relationship btw the fans & Boone + FO is so toxic. We watch every pitch, don’t lie to us:
Gleyber makes too many errors, LF D is brutal, JD is cooked. We know what we see
Aaron Boone on Gleyber Torres: “I don’t think he’s made an outlandish number of errors at second base…”
Gleyber’s costly error today was his ninth of the year, more than any other second baseman in the league this season.

Miggy is so easy to root for. Raked when he came up & is always so happy. When he struggled at 3B he asked ARod to help him, when he converted to LF he never gave up. So happy the Yankees never gave up on him

You can call for Cashman or Boone but until the Yankees fix the analytics issue nothing is changing. Fishman’s crew needs to be upgraded, there needs to be more coaches/execs who know the game with equal say and then a department who sits in the middle. Players play baseball not

Yankees didn’t trade for Soto without full intention of keeping him. Soto is well aware of the additional $ & power of his brand w the Yankees. Don’t let Mets convince you of otherwise
Juan Soto could play for one of the greatest franchises in sports for a massive contract & alongside one of the best players in the sport in Judge OR play for the Mets who need a lot more than Soto to chase WS rings over the next several seasons. I can't see the Yankees passing

I refuse to believe Stanton is "done", feel free to disagree. A tremendous talent who's constantly accountable and self aware. I fully expect him to lock in all offseason and find a way to go back to being Stanton

Silver lining to this disastrous Yankees season: Judge and Giancarlo took ownership to lead this team. Judge taking it “personally” that they haven’t won a 🏆& G talking about winning all year. Their comments were everything Boone’s weren’t. Judge will sign his ext & get the C
