This is the hardest blog post I have ever done. The retirement of all time great and the best player in Major League Baseball for the past twenty seasons, Derek Jeter has hit me hard. The best player and one of the very first players drafted by Mr.S. (rip) and the YANKEES is gone and the hole he leaves offensively and defensively as the best shortstop in baseball is enormous. However, we must move on.
The YANKEES for 2015 will be fine and are reloading. With a very deep and talented starting rotation, albeit a starting rotation with much to prove, do not be surprised if this team performs far above expectations of the pundits and so called talking head experts. Didi Gregorius has been tabbed to replace Jeter at shortstop, which in reality can never be done. Didi needs to be himself, do what he does best and must not let the comparisons to Jeter get to him. Chase Headley has been given the third base position and that may be one of the best moves the YANKEES have made in the off season. The basic starting team will be McCann c. Teixeira 1b. Drew 2b. Headley 3b. Gregorius ss. Gardner lf. Elsbury cf. and Beltran rf. The YANKEES have a boatload of very promising minor leaguers, some of which who will undoubtedly be heard from over the 2015 season.
During the off season the YANKEES lost closer David Robertson, but have gotten better and deeper in the bullpen with the maturation of Betances and the signing of Miller. The closer spot has not been decided and possibly no one will be named. From start to finish the YANKEE pitching staff will be exemplary and carry the team a long way. The lineup on the other hand will have to come together and several players will have to step up their game over last seasons effort. The loss of Jeter, the leader, the captain, will leave a gaping hole that will have to filled by everyone in the lineup stepping up their performance.
Personally, I had an almost non-stop off season with interviews and evaluations. By my choice I am now on a year to year proprietary deal with the Steinbrenner sons. But they are not Mr.S. Hopefully, they will make the decisions that are best for the team, the fans, and winning.
I've noticed the stat frauds are almost non-existent here anymore. You guys and gals have done a great job beating them off, refuting and disproving their garbage man made formulas that are meaningless and useless. WINS and WINNING will always define the best players and teams. I will try to post more often this season and glad you are still here and growing the best baseball blog in the world, the WIN METHOD.
To conclude............LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 2485 Newer› Newest»Headley and Drew 2 run HRs give Yanks 7-0 lead after 3.
Yanks lead 8-5 after 6.
Eovaldi knocked out in 6th giving up 5 runs. Warren and Shreve get out of the inning leading 8-5.
Yanks explode for nine runs in 7th to take 17-5 lead. The stat frauds will have fun with another of their meaningless stats as Eovaldi gets 17 run support in this game, most of which when he is not even in the game.
At least Girardi can use the scrubs like Pinder to mop up and help save the bullpen. Lo and behold Pinder gives up HR to first batter he faces in the 7th.
Stop it already. To many useless meaningless runs wasted. 20 runs. Will probably lose by one run next game. What a meaningless waste. You get nothing extra nor benefit one iota by winning by 5, 10, 15 runs. A 1 run win is the same as a 20 run win. Stat fraud garbage, nothing else.
Done 20-6.
Theeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
On to Boston.
On to Boston for three games. Need to win this series and all series.
After scoring 20 runs I just don't want to lose a close game to the sux.
Nova tonight, needs to step up and produce.
In my opinion Severino has passed Nova in the pecking order already.
The nightmare of 20 runs. Down 3-2 after 5 leaving bases loaded 3 times. WHEN!
Stst frauds, the garbage of baseball. Down 4-2 after 8. 16 base runners, 11 left on base, 3 DPs and just 2 runs after 20 last night.
Bases loaded again as Yanks bat in 9th.
Yanks get one run and lose 4-3. What a waste.
Drats to stat fruads and their over abundance of baseball ignorance.
Pineda tonight after last nights debacle. Looking for a big effort.
Gotta win, gotta win. Yes we can.
Never ever should have lost last nights game. Never, no excuse.
Yanks trail 1-0 after 4.
Yanks lead 2-1 after 5.
Gardner HR gives Yanks 3-1 lead mid eighth.
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Great game from Pineda and Drew.
Hard earned win last night. Need to repeat again today.
Lets do it Masahiro. Earn the win.
8 run 2nd gives Yanks 8-1 lead after 2.
Drew is on a torrid streak. WOW!
Yankees 12-2 after 5. A laugher for a change, but please stop scoring runs.
Andrew Bailey on mound for Yankees in 7th. Hasn't pitched since 2013. Out with major shoulder surgery.
Good to see Yankee pitchers giving up meaningless runs late in the game. Really skews individual meaningless stats.
13-7 after 8.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
The kid pitchers were horrid in relief.
Final 13-8.
A crazy game in a lot of way, but a win.
After 5-1 road trip a day off. Gotta keep winning.
Down the stretch they come, and only wins will determine the best and the playoff teams at the finish line.
30 games left.
Lets go guys, keep the wins coming. Severino tonight.
Lets go Yankees. Winning baseball.
2-0 Yankees after 2.
3-0 Yanks after 5.

Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Severino is a gem in the making.
Love 'Louie Louie' Stan. Will use. Looks like a great kid.
Eovaldi this afternoon.
Take the series today. Wins.
Lets make it official. 'Louie Louie' for Severino.
Eovaldi with a shut down game today? And a win? And a Toronto loss? Yes, yes, yes.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Eovaldi off his best and not getting lucky.
Yankees down 3-2 after 5.
Still down 3-2 after 7.
Bases loaded in 8th and Didi missiles a bullet right at 2nd baseman. Sometimes you need a little luck. One more chance in the 9th down 3-2.
Final 3-2 loss.
A real tough loss to take. Couldn't get the big hit.
Great game, but I hate when we lose one of these.
Ivan Nova today for the Yankees to try to win the series and be the man.
Big game for the Yankees and Nova.
Every game is a big game for the rest of the season. Wish we could have a couple games back we blew earlier in the season. But I guess any team could say the same.
If we score several runs it will make winning easier or Nova doesn't allow any.
Yankees down 3-0 after 3.
Yanks take 4-3 lead after 6 on game tying 3 run HR from McCann followed by solo HR from afraud.
Life, we have life. McCann and afraud HRs in 6th put Yanks in front 4-3.
4-3 Yanks after 6.
Nova hung in there until Yankees scored and is in line for the win. You just got to keep chugging and doing your best.
Bullpen now in for three innings.
Wilson gets 2 outs in 7th and Betances the 3rd. Now for an insurance run or 2.
Yankees 5-3 after 7.
We needed that insurance run as Betances give up HR in 8th. 5-4 Yanks coming to bat. Another insurance run would be nice.
Yanks get another insurance run. Lead 6-4 after 8. Miller in for save try.
Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Final 6-4 win.
Big come from behind 6-4 win.
Miller gets the save. 6-4 Yanks.
Baltimore in town for three games. Need to win this series and all series. Pineda goes this afternoon.
Hits when they count and a little luck never hurts your chances to win.

Theeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnn.
1/2 game out of first.
Another day, another game, and again we need to win.
Tanaka tonight. Also Eovaldi out of action for two weeks.
Losing Eovaldi, our biggest winner, has to hurt. We just need to play through it and win.
Losing Eovaldi, our biggest winner, has to hurt. We just need to play through it and win.
Warren may be used to replace Eovaldi in rotation.
It's Tanaka time. Time for a win.
Scoreless after 3.
0-0 after 5. 3 times fail to deliver when it counts.
1-1 after six.

Yanks go down 2-1.
Again, failure to deliver when it mattered leads to another one run loss.
I'm still down after last nights game..WHEN...WHEN.......WHEN.........That defines the game and winning.
What will we get from CC. And if we don;t hit WHEN it counts it may make no difference whatsoever.
Yankees lead 3-1 after 3. Beltran all RBIs.
3-3 after 6. Sloppy defense gives O's all 3 runs.
Yanks down 4-3 after 8.
The Yanks will need a big 9th inning rally, down by 2.
We go down 5-3.
Final 5-3 loss.
Another game we should have won. Sloppy defense.
Forget yesterday. The rest of the season is in our hands. We have the Blue Jays for four games starting tonight. And our destiny will be decided by what we do on the field. Our destiny will only be decided as always, by wins. Wins and only wins decide which teams will reach the playoffs.
What a great post Steve. The WIN METHOD fans are the greatest in the world. If anyone does not believe this, just go to any of the Yankee baseball talk forums and read the garbage posted there over and over. Negativity is as useless and meaningless as individual stats. Lets go Yankees, lets win.
