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.

YankeeMike said...

This series with the Angels could be a prologue to the pennant.

dave p said...

Lets gio Yankees

AAA said...

What a sweet win late.

bigbadwolf said...

Tex 5rbis. Martin game winning hit. Jeter starts both rallies leading off with hits. One in the bank.

Another great win. Series is won.

Dan Evans said...

johnsondc said...

Great WIN METHOD baseball. Garcia with another win against a top caliber team, Robertson the hold, Soriano another save.

One win at a time and no one will catch us.

Linda Pardo said...

What a start to the 2nd half of the season. Jeter 3 more hits.

NJYANKEE said...

Nova against weaver tomorrow. Sweep.

Stan the Man said...

I was just going to post Yankees up 3-2 after 5, but then Nova gives up 3 in the 6th. Angels up 5-3 with Yanks coming up in the 6th.

Yankeeforever said...

Down 10-5 batting in the 9th. Winning the series is all that counts. On to the next series.

will-i-am said...

The Angels beat the YANKEES and Ivan Nova today 10-8, but the YANKEES did not go down without a fight scoring three runs and loading the bases for Afraud in the ninth inning, only to see Afraud fail yet again, one more time when the games was on the line.

NJYANKEE said...

I love the fact we went down fighting to the end today. Great effort, just had the wrong guy up on the last out.

Izzy Hernandez said...

Three games off the schedule and we lose no ground. Toronto in for three games M<T<W. Lets take another series.

William Mensom said...

Hughes starts for the Yankees tomorrow.

Also, Joba threw two shutout innings over the weekend and should get one or two more outings in the minors. If all goes well look for him in the Bronx.

Lloyd Robbins said...

Nova struggled yesterday and that was a big part of the loss. Hughes tonight. He his well rested.

Chen Cho said...

Joba can get Qualls off the team. that has to help.

NJYANKEE said...

Get us a W Phil. Bench Afraud.

Saul Irving said...

Yanks up 2-1 after 5.

Warren Hammond said...

Seven very solid innings from Hughes allowing 2 runs. Robertson with a shutout 8th and then Ibanez with the game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 8th. Robertson gets the win.

Ray from Boston said...

Soriano gets the save and the Yankees win game one of the series. CC tomorrow. Lets roll.

Giambino said...

Nice win tonight. We are simply playing great baseball. WIN METHOD style.

Chester A said...

Lets hope CC comes back in the groove.

Deb F said...

I love the WIN METHOD, wins and winning. Stat frauds eat your heart out.

Hank B said...

Come back a winner CC. Win the series tonight guys.

Tomas Velez said...

First CC, then Joba, then ...... and the beat goes on and we get better and better.

will-i-am said...

Wins over any other stat. Any day every day.

AAA said...

Lets go Yankees. Keep winning.

Dan Evans said...

Be the ace CC. Dominate.

bigbadwolf said...

3-0 Yankees after 3.

Stan the Man said...

CC Sabathia goes a very strong six innings and leads 3-0 with the YANKEES batting in the sixth.

Steve said...

Yanks up 6-1 after 8. Everyone reached base safely for the Yanks except for one. Yep, the black hole Afraud with an 0fer 4. Series won and go for sweep tomorrow.

Eddie OConnor said...

And the Yankees keep rolling along. 6-1 final. CC gets the win.

Kornejo said...

Kuroda goes for the Yankee sweep this afternoon.

Victor Gandozi said...

It would sure be nice to take this game and head to the road trip very high on the hog.

Giambino said...

Just wins guys, nothing else matters.

MomanRick said...

LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

Teena/Bronx said...

Give them the Bronx sweep.

Al Ashton said...

Get it done Hiroki.

Harry Stavris said...

3-0 Yanks afte one.

Benny Pake said...

5-0 Yanks after 5.

Jack Gordon said...

Yanks win 6-0 in a rain shortened sven inning game. Afraud yet again the black hole in the middle of the lineup.

Linda Rice said...

It's a sweep. 5-1 since the all star game.

Bob Behan said...

On to the west coast and four games in Oakland.

Patricia Piper said...

Let the winning continue. Two more hits for our Captain and leader.

Nate Berkus said...

Take game one.

Helmut F said...

10 PM eastern time game tonight. No jet lag guys. Wins.

Vinny Ferrero said...

I agree 4-3 on a western swing is acceptable. Particularly when you are 10 games in front of the pack.

Ty Keel said...

Win game one and go from there.

Karl Cameron said...

Garcia gets the start to open the road trip tonight.

Vanessa Cates said...

Keep the winning going Freddy.

YankeeMike said...

Dazzle them with junk Freddy. Score some runs guys. Keep the run going strong.

NJYANKEE said...

Garcia gave up runs early and we chipped away but not enough. A's bullpen shut us down.

Gus Papa said...

I hate one run losses.

Stan the Man said...

Stop this losing streak now before it gets out of hand.

Anonymous said...

Nova to try to get us even tonight.

evan donohue said...

Nova goes tonight to try to even the series. Lets get it done and move on.

Allie Singh said...

Take the next three, one at a time. Do it Ivan.

Bert Jackson said...

OK guys, play WIN METHOD baseball and win.

Steve said...

No score after one.

Saul Irving said...

Yanks down 1-0 after 3.

Claude Reeves said...

We're not hitting and are down 2-0 after 5.

Sharon/NC said...

Another one run loss. Where are the bats????????

Kornejo said...

Bullpen takes the loss as Eppley gives up three hits in the 9th. Nova struggled but only gave up 2 runs into the 7th.

Bev F said...

Any reason Soriano wasn't used in the 9th?

johnsondc said...

Girardi may have wanted to wait to see if the Yanks would get the lead before using Soriano.

Warren Hammond said...

Hughes tonight. Be the man and stop the losing. Lineup is what is letting us down. Arod comes up empty again last night leaving four men on base.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

Wake up guys, score some runs for our pitchers.

Bill Tedder said...

Three consecutive one run losses. Terrible.

Eugene Rico said...

Who would have thought we need CC to win today to get out of Oakland with one win.

Giambino said...

CC goes today to try to prevent the sweep. Some guys need to wake up and start hitting.

Chuck M said...

Our ship needs to be rightened.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

Arithmetic regression 4-3, 3-2, 2-1 is how you could define the Yankee three losses in Oakland. Not very pretty.

Steve said...

No score after one.

Steve said...

3-0 Yanks after 3. The regression is over.

bigbadwolf said...

4-3 Yanks after 6. Give me a break.

Steve said...

Robertson with a shutout 8th. 4-3 Yanks after 8.

AAA said...

Soriano blows the save. Allows tying HR. 4-4. Extra innings.

AAA said...

Ugh, we lose again.

Steve said...

Fourth straight one run loss. Yanks lose in 12th 5-4.

Saul Irving said...

We get swept in Oakland. Yanks lose 5-4.

Jonas Slaught said...

Eppley loses it in 12th. Bats continue to stink it up.

Luke Key said...

We've ensured a losing road trip.. Hopefully this can be used as a wake-up tool.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

On to Seattle and a winning series.

Teena/Bronx said...

What a rotten weekend.

will-i-am said...

Circle the wagons, regroup and rebound. Lets go Yankees.

William Mensom said...

Most of you are to young, but a long way back there was a movie called the Lost Weekend. We just relived it.

Erica Johnston said...

OK, so lets start a new week out a the right WIN METHOD foot,

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Get back to winning. One win at a time, one series at a time.

Benny Pake said...

Win game one tonight.

AAA said...

Get on the winning track again.

bigbadwolf said...

Ichiro is now a Yankee.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Kuroda is the man of the hour going seven innings of one run ball as the Yankees win 4-1 in seattle. Still not much with the bats, however.

Frank Sergi said...

Now lets take this series.

Warren Hammond said...

It would be nice to win tonight.

Dan Evans said...

Good win, but we need to put a few more runs on thew board.

Gene A said...

LETS GO YANKEES....LETS GO YANKEES

Quay Ho said...

Win this series.

Tom Loughlin said...

Ichiro is a perfect replacement for Garner and will add speed and defense. Don't be surprised to see him jack a few into the porch.

Vladimir Tinzik said...

We lose game two of the series but we catch a 'break' and the black hole in the lineup will see the light of day.

Allie Singh said...

Garcia loses 4-2 but pitched very well. Nova for the series today.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

A bad break for Arod is a good break for the Yankees.

Chuck M said...

C'mon guys win today and take this series.

Dick/SC said...

Head home with a win.

Eddie OConnor said...

Take this series.

Anonymous said...

Win the series Ivan.

Fred Slube said...

Win the series Ivan.

Gene A said...

End this trip with some runs and an easy win.

Ernie H said...

Jeter leads the way again.

Stan the Man said...

Led by 3 hits from Jeter and 3 rbis from Nix Yankees take series with a 5-2 win.

Randy Wilson,CO said...

Nice job by the Captain. We take the series and head home upbeat.

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

It wasn't easy, but it was a win.

Patricia Piper said...

Enjoy the off day everyone.

William Mensom said...

We had a bad road trip and now we recoup are losses and move on.

Victor Gandozi said...

Good goal: take the next ten series.

Carl Hooks said...

If we win the next ten series, we can get well rested for the playoffs.

Ray from Boston said...

Please don't rush Afraud back. We are better off without him.

NJYANKEE said...

With Afraud out the lineup is stronger. We can keep on rolling along.

Victor Bruno said...

Afraud out of the middle of the lineup is good, but we could still use him in the 7 or 8 hole.

Zhaire said...

Win game one tonight and then go from there.

Paul Hirschman said...

Give us another great one Phil.

johnsondc said...

Let go guys. Start hitting WHEN it counts.

Teena/Bronx said...

Pound the sux guys. Win.

Domenic said...

Blow them away Phil. Throw strikes.

Steve said...

How sweet it is. An Afraudless lineup. Yanks up 3-1 after 1.

Gus Papa said...

Yanks up 6-3 after 5. Hughes not real sharp but hanging tough.

Steve said...

Hughes with an easy 1,2,3 6th coming out for the 7th leading 6-3.

Saul Irving said...

10-3 Yanks after 8 on a Grandygram grand slam. Stay home Afraud.

Allie Singh said...

Final 10-3 as Eppley closes out the ninth.

Eddie OConnor said...

Game one in the bank. Make it two tomorrow.

YankeeMike said...

A very nice win. Good pitching and good hitting. Nice getting those runs in from third base with less than two out in the early innings. Something Afraud couldn't do.

BIGTIMEYANKEE said...

I've been posting on a baseball forum and man are they idiots over there. Lets go Yankees.

Sharon/NC said...

Very nice win last night. It was sure nice to see the middle of the order without Afraud bring in the runners from third with less than two out. This may not be politically correct, but Afraud is the least missed member of this team of the starters.

Yankeeforever said...

Lets go CC, win the series today.

Alex Antonius said...

No mercy guys, pound the sux.

Linda Pardo said...

We could just take the sux to the cleaners.

Chen Cho said...

Lets go CC. Lets go Yankees.

MomanRick said...

Arod who? Take the rest of the year off guy.

Teena/Bronx said...

I guess everyone knows. It's raining. Sorry I din;t warn you all.

Saul L said...

CC pitches a batting practice first and sux lead 3-0 after 1 1/2.

Sean Smith said...

An Afraudless lineup does its job scoring six runs, but CC throw a bummer and Yanks lose 8-6.

sid greenberg/nyc said...

A game we shouldn't lose. Sometimes CC scares me. Kuroda in rubber game tomorrow night for the series win.

Gabe Hooks said...

CC can't keep pitching like last night. Once every ten starts maybe, but not as often as he has.

Izzy Hernandez said...

CC has faltered to many times. We should playing for the series sweep tonight, not for the series win or loss.

Tom Loughlin said...

I want to beat the sux tonight. I don't want them thinking they can come back and make a run.

Luke Key said...

Do it again Hiroki. The win is what counts.

Vinnie Ferrero said...

Get the win and take the series. Everybody hits.

Kev Mac90 said...

Yanks down 2-0 after five. Have just one hit.

Bob Behan said...

One heck of a rotten loss.

Roger D said...

Yanks go down 3-2 in 10 after coming back from 2-0 down.

Yankeeforever said...

Soriano loses last night and Robertson loses tonight. Shouldn't happen.

Phil Jenkins said...

horrible loss. Now we have to take the series from the O's to get to .500. Or we could sweep them.

Robert Mandell said...

It is amazing how when the wins come everything seems to go right and when the losses come everything seems to wrong.

Tony Gigante said...

When we play our division rivals it would behoove us to win each series and make our lives easier.

Jack Gordon said...

Again, take game one and go from there.

Warren Hammond said...

Freddy Gracia goes tonight and in my opinion I think the O's will be a tough matchup for him.

AAA said...

Lets go Yankees.

bigbadwolf said...

Wow, another dreadful loss. 3 HRs, all with no one on. It's not how many, but when.

Saul L said...

Another one run loss. Come on guys, this has got to stop. Game one down the drain.

will-i-am said...

Jeter two more hits. Everyone else seems to be trying to hit a home run every time up. STOP

Roger D said...

We need to play better more consistent baseball as a team.

Linda Rice said...

Worst is Teixeira may be down and out.

Lou Lis said...

Nova goes to try to even series tonight.

Ted Lilly said...

Go Ivan. Shut them out.

Steve said...

9-5 O's after 7. Nova gets shelled and the Yankees are about to lose their 4th straight.

Sharon/NC said...

I can't believe what I am seeing from the Yankees over the past couple of weeks.

Warren Hammond said...

We need to stop this slide now. Hughes has to be the big gun again.

Lee Askew said...

Jeter can't carry the team by himself. three more hits and is the best defensive player on the team.

will-i-am said...

Recoup. 11-1 Yanks after 3.

Phil Danske said...

11-1 after 6 and Joba is starting the 7th. Good spot, no pressure, and he can give up a few hits and runs and it won't hurt.

AAA said...

A nice easy win and Joba got his feet wet. Just need to get back on the winning side of the ledger.

neil golub said...

OK we just lost two series to division rivals. Now we turn things around and start rolling again.

johnsondc said...

A 12-3 win is not WIN METHOD baseball. Would have like to have those extra runs in some of the one run losses.

Stan the Man said...

Also three more hits for Jeter today and more great defensive play.

Carl Hooks said...

Savior todays off day. Next up 20 games in the next 20 days. 12-8 would be an overwhelming success. 10-10 probably wouldn't hurt us. One win at a time.

evan donohue said...

.600 ball over the next 20 games would be fine with me.

Yankeeforever said...

Six different opponents in the 20 games, home and away.

Allie Singh said...

Tomorrow we get rolling again.

Chen Cho said...

Will CC redeem himself after his last outing?

Mark D said...

We need CC to win consistently and help carry us these last two months.

NJYANKEE said...

Get it done CC, get it done.

Steve said...

CC very sharp. Yanks up 2-1 after 3 1/2.

AAA said...

Two run blast for Chavez. 4-1 Yanks after 6.

Linda Rice said...

Complete game dominant 6-3 win for CC. Jusr what we needed.

Tony Gigante said...

Good win.

Zhaire said...

We get the dancing queen tomoorow.

Maurice Gaudeaux said...

Game one of twenty in the bank.

Pete H said...

Will Seattles 'dancing queen' be able to match the Yankees Hiroki Kuroda today?

sid greenberg/nyc said...

Would really love to take todays game and win the series. Kuroda hopefully will give us another good one.

Erica Johnston said...

Pound Seattle today guys, pound them.

Teena/Bronx said...

LETS GO YANKEES

Steve said...

The 'dancing queen' has been outstanding for six innings and the M's lead the Yankees 1-0 after six.

William Mensom said...

Bottom of 9th. Down 1-0. Granderson first out on decent shot to center. Jeter second out on fly to right. Cano last life. Cano strikes out. Best game I've seen pitched by anyone in years.

RLA said...

Another one run loss. Rubber game tomorrow.

MomanRick said...

A loss tomorrow would mean three straight series lost. We need the win and Garcia is on the mound.

johnsondc said...

Excellent game from Kuroda again. But not good enough.

bigbadwolf said...

Hate to waxte Kurodas effort, but what can you do.

Roger D said...

Garcia again when we need a win.
