This is honestly one of the first times in a while I’ve genuinely seen a Yankees prospect do amazing right away. Ben Rice is absolutely amazing and definitely earned the first base spot. How good can you be???
Honestly Alex Rodriguez number 13 not being retired for the Yankees still pisses me off to this day. If it wasn’t for A-Rod then the Yankees would be in a 24 year World Series drought.
Yankees record before Stanton got injured: 52-27
Yankees record since Stanton got injured: 2-8
Say what you want about Giancarlo Stanton, but this Yankees lineup clearly misses his middle of the order bat.
I would be thrilled if the Red Sox Yankees rivalry returned(ofc with the Yankees being the better team). Let’s be honest, we all want the yankees Red Sox rivalry to return.
Trent Grisham in the month of June:
4 HR
11 RBIs
.256/.348/.590
.938 OPS
.394 wOBA
160 wRC+
Thank god the Yankees didn’t DFA Grisham after only 30 at bats like Twitter GMs wanted them to.
@TalkinBaseball_
Ain’t this guy a billionaire? Yet u never spend on your own team and don’t seem to care. Pretty sure it’s worse for the loyal athletic fans.
Top 5 crowds in baseball:
1. Yankees
2. Phillies
3. Braves
4. Cubs
5. Cardinals
Top 3 are the loudest crowds and the Cubs and Cardinals fans always show up and for the most part are very loyal fanbases. No one beats the Yankees though.
Clay Holmes since getting traded to the Yankees:
154.2 IP
2.50 ERA
2.63 FIP
9.89 K/9
0.35 FIP
He’s no Rivera, but he’s a pretty damn good closer. Put some respect on his name.
It’s actually crazy how the yankees just randomly find relievers that no one really knows and turns them into studs. That’s one thing that Cashman deserves credit for.
I don’t know why, but this Yankees home run will always be in the back of my mind. Aaron Hicks was a better Yankee then he gets credit for. Hicks had some great moments.
Anthony Volpe has been an above average hitter while being a top 5 defender in all of baseball so far this year. What’s even crazier is that he’s only 23 and is only going to get better
1. Jazz Chisholm 3B
2. Juan Soto RF
3. Aaron Judge CF
4. Giancarlo Stanton DH
5. Austin Wells C
6. Jasson Dominguez LF
7. Gleyber Torres 2B
8. Ben Rice 1B
9. Anthony Volpe SS
Not one MLB team is capable of stopping this Yankees postseason lineup.
The braves turn into a good team and all of a sudden:
- the chop is racist
- brave fans suck
- braves fans are racist
The chop isn’t racist. Brave fans are fine(Twitter trolls don’t represent the whole fanbase). Braves fans aren’t racist.
In 2024, the Yankees will win 110 games this year, Rodon will have below a 2 era and Judge and Stanton will combine for 110 home runs, Soto will win mvp. No injuries will happen. Lemahieu will win batting title and Torres will hit 30 home runs.
Current Yankees all time postseason ops
Gleyber Torres .820
Aaron Judge .772
Juan Soto .845
Alex Verdugo .835
Giancarlo Stanton .963
Anthony Rizzo .724
Dj LeMahieu .764
Volpe TBD
The yankees will mash in the playoffs.
2022: Juan Soto wins home run derby
2023: Juan Soto misses the playoffs
2024: Juan Soto is on the Yankees
2023: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. wins home run derby
2024: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. misses the playoffs
2025: ????
You can’t tell me that this isn’t awesome to see. Stanton was criticized by Yankee fans all offseason and he goes out and proves himself. This is why I’m a Stanton fan/defender btw. Keep it up and stay healthy. Prove us wrong.
Bro the Yankees lose one game after winning the first 5 and every fan is pissed lmao. We literally swept Houston. A lot of our best players aren’t even hot yet and we’re still playing great. We aren’t gonna win every game. Our ace is also out.
Aaron Judge: 42 HR, 218 wRC+
Juan Soto: 30 HR, 186 wRC+
Giancarlo Stanton: 20 HR, 123 wRC+
The big three is in full effect for the Yankees. These three are going to go crazy in the playoffs.
Trent Grisham stats since yankee fans chanted “we want Soto” during his at bat:
43 PA
3 HR
.270/.372/.568
.403 wOBA
166 wRC+
This is a definition of a player that is built for New York
Yankee fans: We can’t hit in the playoffs every year and it’s embarrassing.
The same Yankee fans: let’s get rid of our best postseason hitter Giancarlo Stanton because he had one down year with an ops+ below 100.
Giancarlo Stanton stats in June:
59 PA
4 HR
.283 BA
.356 OBP
.528 SLG
.384 wOBA
153 wRC+
Stanton has been one of the Yankees best hitters this month. After last year, Stanton is having an amazing bounce back year.
I might get hate for this, but idc. Alex Rodriguez deserves to be in the hall of fame. He’s one of the best third baseman’s ever. If other steroid users get in, no reason why Arod shouldn’t be in the hall of fame.
Crazy conspiracy, but maybe the reason Gleyber Torres isn’t hitting good is because he got hit on the thumb on opening day. Maybe he’s trying to play through the pain? Idk tbh, but this could be a reason.
Blake Snell is the best pitcher available and won’t cost any prospects. He’s also a top 5 pitcher in baseball and 2x cy young winner. Ain’t no reason not to go for him.
Alex Verdugo stats with risp
.308/.317/.538
.855 OPS
.351 wOBA
130 wrc+
Alex Verdugo defensively:
4 OAA(2nd among Left fielders
7 DRS(1st among Left Fielders)
Wow, what a big contributor he’s been so far. Great pickup by the Yankees.
Yankees potential lineup when Dominguez and Stanton are healthy
1. Anthony Volpe SS
2. Juan Soto RF
3. Aaron Judge LF
4. Jasson Dominguez CF
5. Giancarlo Stanton DH
6. Ben Rice 1B
7. Gleyber Torres 2B
8. Austin Wells C
9. Dj LeMahieu 3B
This is without the trades they make
Aaron judge 2024 stats prediction:
149 games
51 HR
106 RBIs
.294 BA
.398 OBP
.649 SLG
.1047 OPS
Fwar: 9.7
We need a full season of Aaron judge while he’s in his prime.
Today is February 26th. The following MLB players are still free agents:
Blake Snell
Jordan Montgomery
Matt Chapman
J.D. Martinez
Tommy Pham
Michael A. Taylor
Adam Duvall
Brandon Belt
Eddie Rosario
Michael Lorenzen
This is bad for baseball. Something needs to be done
Obviously German wasn’t the best of people with the Yankees, but I wanna thank him for having me witness history. I will never forget the perfect game that he threw. I hope that German got his life together. Hope for the best in Pittsburg.
“are you ready for your hitting lessons?”
*Mike Trout gulps*
*Ronald Acuna Jr breathes heavily*
* Freddie Freeman nods nervously*
*Mooke Betts wipes sweat from his forehead*
*Aaron Judge looks down*
* Corey Seager sighs*
“yes, Giancarlo Stanton ”, they say in unison.
Ngl it’s kinda sad that people get so mad at someone for supporting the opposite side. Just let it go not everyone is gonna have the same opinion as you
If the Yankees don’t sign Soto because they believe jones can be the next big thing I will be beyond mad at this organization. Does Spencer Jones have talent and potential? Yes, but you don’t let a generational talent go for an unproven player.
People seem to forget that Gleyber Torres made one of the biggest errors in game 4 of the 2024 alcs that might’ve costed us the game. I’m sorry but I don’t want Gleyber starting at 2B in the post season ESPECIALLY if he’s not gonna hit. I don’t trust him at all I’m sorry.
