WIN METHOD - player evaluation dominance

Coming back from a whirlwind five weeks on the road.  Started with the YANKEE western swing in late May to Oakland to Anaheim to Detroit.  Interviews, interviews, interviews, the draft, and finally the College World Series.

We got everything we wanted out of this years draft.  Picking almost last each year and still coming through with some of the best baseball talent is a feather in the cap of the WIN METHOD player evaluation system.  The YANKEES since the inception and use of the WIN METHOD have been baseballs winning-est team with the most playoffs, pennants, and World Championships than any other team in baseball.  Factually, no other team comes even close.

How about this years team.  Riddled with crippling injuries, and many other lesser injuries, this team has performed admirably.  First place, with player after player stepping up and playing WIN METHOD baseball.  Winning as a team.   WINS is all that counts.

How many of you remember my special WIN METHOD selection back in 2009 of Adam Warren and his rise through the ranks?  Well, Adam is being called up by the YANKEES and will start Friday nights game in the Stadium against the Chicago White Sox.   Good luck, Adam.  Remember it's all about the WIN METHOD.

If any of you want a good laugh, you can go to several of the baseball talk forums.  Go to the the YANKEE threads and you will see just what is meant by the dumbing down of America.    Most, not all, but most posters know little to nothing about baseball, they get mired in mind numbing meaningless, worthless individual stats and when confronted whine and cry like  immature childlike fools.   The worst is, the moderators are the biggest and dumbest culprits.  When threatened and provided facts and collaborating sites they immediately demean the poster and the other valid sites.  All you can do is laugh at these brain dead losers.   These guys are in their comfort zone when they are supported by their clique of mental delinquents, but know if they come here to debate anything they will get buried by an avalanche of common sense and facts from the smartest fans in the baseball world, WIN METHOD fans.  They have no game and what game they have is losing and claiming they are the best.

In the second half of this season we will have several quality players coming back and this team will get better and better.  All the while, the youngsters picked over the last few years develop and get ripe until they are needed and ready to be picked and promoted.

It does make it hard for your pitcher to win when you do not score runs. Lets score some runs today.

Claude Reeves said...

Yankees up 2-1 after 3.

Stan the Man said...

Jeter with a two out RBI single to give the Yankees a 3-1 lead after four.

Laura Koehler said...

We take a series. Just keep winning.

johnsondc said...

Four in Detroit. Nova, Hughes, CC, Kuroda.

Victor Gandozi said...

I would love to win them all in Detroit, but I can accept a split on the road.

Jonas Slaught said...

Nova goes against Verlander tonight. Lets go Ivan, lets go Yankees.

Warren Hammond said...

Nova needs to straighten his ship. He has been off course the last several outings. tonight would be an ideal time to rise to the occasion.

Linda Pardo said...

Could be another real good game of quality pitching.

AAA said...

Lets win the opener.

Lou LIs said...

Only W's count towards success. Go Yankees.

Steve said...

1-0 Tigers after 2.

Steve said...

Yanks score 2 to tie game in fifth, then Nova comes right all and gives it all back.

Patricia Piper said...

We lose game one in Detroit 7-2.

Cory said...

Last night wasn't very pretty. Hughes tonight to even things up.

Sharon/NC said...

Amazing how through all the ups and downs Jeter keeps chugging along, the glue that holds everything together.

Ty Keel said...

Come on Phil, get us the win.

Tom Loughlin said...

Even the series guys. WIN

AAA said...

Good pitching and timely hitting when it counts carries the day. Do it guys.

All I can say is UGH!

evan donohue said...

Quay Ho said...

LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

johnsondc said...

Yankees pounding Tigers, up 6-0 batting in the 4th,

Steve said...

Yankees up 7-1 after 4.

Steve said...

It hasn't been pretty and it hasn't been easy. Yanks up 10-7 after 7 1/2.

Stan the Man said...

This game is crazy. Somebody needs to shut down the Tigers. 10-7 Yanks with Tigers coming up in the 8th,

jonhsondc said...

Tigers get one back. 10-8 Yanks after 8. One more inning.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

With 2 outs in the 9th, Nix, Jeter, Swisher, Cano deliver for 2 runs and a 12-8 Yankee lead.

Steve said...

Soriano with a 1,2,3 9th and a Yankee win.

Fred Slube said...

We needed this game. Get the split tomorrow.

Bert Jackson said...

Now we need to win tomorrow.

Eddie OConnor said...

Not easy, but a win.

Anonymous said...

The lineup came alive, now to hopefully they will stay hot a little while.

Tony Gigante said...

You have been the most consistent Hiroki. give us another quality win.

Linda Rice said...

Lets go Yankees.

bigbadwolf said...

Great one run win, about time. Split the series 2 games each and on to Toronto.

Alex Antonius said...

Another nice game from Kuroda keeping us alive and then shutout ball from the bullpen and a come back win late.

Chuck M said...

A split in Detroit is acceptable. Particularly after losing the first two games.

Ernie H said...

Big win. Nice to see a come back win. Almost had one in game 2 also.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

I am relatively new here and have had it with the baseball forums. I can't believe so many on the forums are so utterly clueless. They lie, make up stories and then lie some more. Some are even moderators. At least here there are intelligent fans who know the game and that winning is what counts.

NJYANKEE said...

A split of a four game series on the road is acceptable. Now to take the Toronto series.

MomanRick said...

Garcia has been hanging tough and keeping us in games. A bunch of runs tonight won't hurt.

Erica Johnson said...

Start off with a win tonight guys.

will-i-am said...

Hits and runs will win tonight.

YankeeMike said...

Still the best baseball blog in the nation. If you are a winner, come here. If you like losing go to the talk forums.

Ned Berkus said...

Score early and often.

Victor Gandozi said...

Yanks lead 6-2 in the 8th. Looks good for a win to start this series.

Saul Irving said...

How about scoring often but late. Yanks lead 10-3 with Jays batting in the 9th,

Rick Merenick said...

Freddy Gracia with a quality start and the Yankees get the win 10-4 and take the first game of this three game series.

Al Ashton said...

Nice to win the first game of a series. Nova and Hughes in games 2 and 3.

William Mensom said...

The entire AL east won tonight, that is why we have to keep winning. Wins are the only thing that counts. No one is going to roll over and hand anything to us.

bigbadwolf said...

So far a good weekend. Now for Nova to get back on track and concentrate.

Teena/Bronx said...

Take a deep breath Ivan and then fire away. Throw strikes and they will have to swing.

Gus Papa said...

We take it for granted how great Jeter is defensively. But his play on the leadoff batter for Toronto to start the game was magnificent. Guy hit a screamer up the middle, Jeter went quickly and with the greatest of ranges dove for the ball made the snare, quickly got up and threw the man out at first base. Not many if any other shortstops make that play. And at 38 to still be the best defensive shortstop in baseball is great.

AAA said...

Lets do it Ivan. WIN!

Larry Norvel said...

Hitting and pitching in consort as a team equals wins.

Patricia Piper said...

Take the series today guys.

Steve said...

No score after two. Nova six outs on 19 pitches.

jimbo said...

4-1 Yanks after 4.

johnsodc said...

Jeter with a 2 out diuble to drive in Yankees 5th run. It is Jeters 150th hit of the season and Jeter has become only the 2nd man in the HISTORY of baseball to get 150 or more hits in 17 consecutive seasons. The other, Hank Aaron. Jeter has simply been the bet player in baseball over the past 20 years.

Giambino said...

5-1 Yanks after 6. And yes Jeter is the best there is, particularly defensively.

Chen Ho said...

Nova looked much better today and is on the verge of a win as the Jays bat in the ninth.

Ray from Boston said...

Nice win for Nova. Another hold for Robertson on one pitch, and another save for Soriano. The series is in the bank. Next, the sweep.

loftusbeme said...

Hughes for the sweep tomorrow and five straight.

will-i-am said...

Now we are rolling. Get the sweep Hughes.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

A very nice win. One more time tomorrow.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Stat frauds are the lowest form of life on the planet. they try to tell the world that losing pitchers are better than winning pitchers and try to claim great defensive players aren't because of some of the most useless defensive metrics ever created.

Roger D said...

Complete the weekend with another win.

Quay Ho said...

Keep pace Phil. Get the win.

Jonas Slaught said...

Phelps is taking CCs spot in the rotation for now. Will go Monday against Texas.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Right on Sid. I agree, been there done that. Stat frauds use and believe in garbage and then insist they are right.

Carl Hooks said...

The other teams aren't giving up. Wins mean reaching the playiffs.

Bev F said...

Just keep winning.

YankeeMike said...

Get the win guys, complete the sweep and then head home.

AAA said...

Bring iti on home. SWEEEEEEEEEEEP

Stan the Man said...

Hughe pitching batting practice again. Down 7-0 after 4.

bigbadwof said...

Being led bt Captain Jeter, Yankees fighting back and trail 10-7 in the 7th after being down 10-1.

Steve said...

Can't come all the way back. Loss 10-7.

Sharon/NC said...

Score 7 runs and really not in the game. Our pitching has been very spotty lately.

Alex Antonius said...

The 4-3 road trip was acceptable. More so after losing the first 2 games. Phelps tonight for us.

Chen Cho said...

In regards to Jeter and his 17 150 hit seasons. I think it's an awesome accomplishment. Considering guys like Cobb, Speaker, Mays, Ruth....even the hit machines couldn't pull off 17 years with 150 straight hits.

Linda Pardo said...

Win tonight guys.

will-i-am said...

Daid Phelps we need you to step up and be the man tonight.

RLA said...

LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

Ron Francis said...

Ty Keel said...

Yankees with 5 in the 3rd lead 5-2.

Bob Behan said...

Swisher grand slam has Yanks up 5-2 after 4.

Phelps with a solid five innings. Great job.

Stan the Man said...

Derek Lowe with a dominating shutout 6th and 7th. chavez HR makes it 6-2 with Yanks coming to bat in the 7th.

Lou Lis said...

Ichiro triple Jeter double add 2 more runs in 7th. and Lowe with a shutout 8th have Yanks up 8-2.

Victor Gandozi said...

Lowe goes a perfect 9th also and gets a save. beautiful win, beautiful.

Gus Papa said...

Great win, great. Lets go Yankees.

Yankeeforever said...

A great win last night from a very deep pitching staff.

Mark D said...

Kuroda goes tonight for the Yankees. Can he give us another gem? Go Hiroki.

WIN METHOD said...

A quick update WIN METHOD fans. I have recently deleted several posts from anonymous posters that used foul language and were not civil. Anyone can post here and debate anything they wish, but this blog will not deteriorate into a foul forum as so many baseball forums have. NO FOUL LANGUAGE WILL EVER BE TOLERATED.

Larrry Norvel said...

Lets keep winning. They contenders are on our heels.

Karl R said...

Do it again Hiroki. Be the big winner.

Gene A said...

Kuroda complete game two hit 3-0 shutout. YES!

johnsondc said...

Superb game from Kuroda. What a great WIN METHOD signing.

William Mensom said...

Very pleased with the way this team has responded to all the injuries all season.

Linda Pardo said...

Lovely win and lovely game from Kuroda.

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

Freddy Garcia goes tonight in game three of the four game series against the Rangers.

Victor Bruno said...

After Kuroda, Garcias slow junk could be the Rangers into a frazzle.

Ray Rolfe said...

Keep the winning going Freddy. More runs, more runs.

Bob Behan said...

Do it Freddy, keep the line moving..

AAA said...

Give Garcia some support. Score and score often.

johnsondc said...

Felix Lopez said...

Umps give Rangers 4 outs in the 9th, but Soriano responds with the save and the Yankees win 3-2.

Allie Singh said...

3-2 win for Garcia, hold Robertson, save Soriano.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

The series is ours and a try for the sweep tomorrow afternoon.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Good win tonight. The breaks have shifted our way again. Pathetic call at first base giving the Rangers an extra out.

Eugene Rico said...

Probably most fans here would have been happy with splitting this four game series with the Rangers. We have won the first three and today we can sweep the series. Win or lose today, we played well and the pitching has been grand.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

How sweet a sweep would be.

Erica Nuyens said...

The diamond on this team has always been Derek Jeter, offensively, defensively, leadership, and character. Love ya, WIN METHOD

Linda Rice said...

Keep the train rolling Ivan. Concentrate and let if fly.

Roger D said...

The sweep is the goal.
Get the broom out.

Rangers with 2 in the first lead 2-0 after two.

Carl Hooks said...

Still 2-0 Rangers after five.

RLA said...

Nova with a shaky outing again. Leaves in the sixth trailing 4-0. do we have a comeback in our bones today?

Benny Pake said...

Yes RLA. The Yankee bats come alive with the sound of music. Ichiro single goes to second on ground out. Jeter rolls with RBI single and takes second on throw to plate. Swisher RBI single. Jones two eun HR ties game. 4-4.

RLA said...

All the way back..McGehee reaches second on a misplayed ball on his drive to right center. Martin with go ahead RBI single. Martin steals second. Nix Ks. 5-4 Yanks after six.

Paul Hirschman said...

Logan and Joba give up three runs in the 7th. Yanks down again 7-5.

Victor Gandozi said...

Joba crashes and burns in the 8th. Yanks down 9-6. He could be sealing hsi faith as a Yankee, negatively.

Sharon/NC said...

We lose 10-6. 3 of 4 from Texas is tolerable. Pitching stunk today.

bigbadwolf said...

Very sloppy play today.

Greg Petroski said...

Think positive. we just took a four game series from a very quality team. Now lets the the bosux series.

Zhaire said...

Nova with all his talent is under performing. I think it is in his mind and he in the future will be a very dominating pitcher. Just needs to age a bit and ripen,

Patricia Piper said...

Hughes starts tonights first game against the bosux. Get back to winning and take charge guys.

Teena/Bronx said...
