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.

Betances win a shutout 9th and the Yankees win 6-2.

Good start to the four game series. One down three to go.
Capuano starts tonight. May be best option against the Ranger top heavy left handed lineup.
With Capuano starting, the offense may need to score a boat load of runs.
Girardi seems to have his hand on the right button most of the time.
If Capuano can keep us close we always have the bullpen ready.
Wins is what it's all about. The stat frauds are fools who live in a fantasy world.
Capuano gives up five runs in first.
Amazing. Down 5-0, Yanks come to bat in 2nd inning, knock out Texas starter, and score 11 runs.
Texas pitchers strike out the side in the 2nd, but allow 11 runs.
WOW! What craziness.
You got the boat load of runs Lee. Good call.

Does anyone recall a team giving up 5 runs in the first inning and being down 5-0 and yet be the winning team in a true laugher game.
19-5 after 8. Diego Moreno and Adam Warren have pitched 7 1/3 innings of no hit ball.
21-5 as Rangers come up in the 9th.
No Gus. I can't recall any.
Theeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Final, the Yankees win 21-5.
Warren goes the last three with no hits/ Moreno and Warren pitch 8 1/3 innings of no hit ball.
To many wasted runs yesterday? Hope it doesn't come back to haunt the team the next few games.
To many meaningless runs last night. Tanaka goes tonight, hope the lineup is not worn out.
The Yankees have DFA'd Capuano.
There is always someone trying to earn a position. So long Chris.
Yankees down 3-2 after 2. Tanaka working hard.
Tanaka really struggling. Down 3-2 and 77 pitches thru 4 innings.
Yanks down 3-2 after 4.

Last chance for Yanks batting in 9th trailing 5-2.
Yanks lose 5-2.
Final 5-2 loss. To many wasted runs yesterday. Pay the piper today.
Need to take this series tomorrow.
Far to many wasted meaningless runs from two nights ago and a loss last night we easily could have won with just a few of those meaningless runs coming when they would have counted last night.
Pineda tonight to win the series.
Pineda on DL with right forearm strain. Out until September I would think.
CC to start tonight.
I wonder if the Yankees will bring up Severino to replace Pineda. What an opportunity for the kid if the Yankees feel he is ready. Only they know and only they will make the decision.
Yankees score 3 in 1st and CC gives them right back. 3-3 after 1.
Yanks down 4-3 after 2. It's going to be a long night. Hopefully CC can keep us in the game until the bullpen comes in. The lineup will need to produce when it counts, so don't expect anything from afraud.
Yanks take 5-4 lead after 3.
5-5 after 4. CC really struggling.
We have to get our bullpen into the game.
5-5 after 6. The bullpens are in the game.
6-6 after 7.
6-6 after 8.
6-6 going to the 9th. Lets win it now.
Miller loses it in 9th. 7-6 loss,
Final 7-6 loss, series is split.
CC comes away with a no decision, but he is the main reason we lost.
The wasted runs from the 21 run game have led to 2 straight losses in games we could have easily won. Real life facts like this just all the more go to prove the ignorance and stupidity of the stat fraud fantasy world fools with all their meaningless convoluted man made formulas.
We didn't win the Texas series and we should have. Need to take this series and stay on track.
I think it is great the Yankees front office didn't do anything stupid in trades by giving up any of WIN METHODS great future stars.
YankeeMike called it. Severino to make his next start Tuesday in the majors with the Yankees. Lets roll.
We bloom and grow with our WIN METHOD had picked home grown young talent. We could be set for several solid years.
Eovaldi may very well be the ace of the Yankee staff.
6-0 Yanks after 2.
Mid 4th 11-2 Yankees. No more runs guys, save them.
12-3 Yankees after 5.
Yanks 13-3 after 6.
Good solid win and held back the to many extra runs.
The stat frauds will hate this. But Nathan Eovaldi may be the best pitcher in baseball. 11-2 wins the day. No other stat in the world is better or more important than wins and win percentage. Make you phony excuses stat fraud losers.
Bryan Mitchell is starting tonights game. Come on kid, earn a rotation spot.
AS you know Deb, the stat frauds only deal in make believe baseball. You don't have to win when it is make believe.
The kiddie corps to the rescue for the run home?
Relax Bryan Mitchell, it is only a game.
Deb, Eovaldi has the best win % in baseball. I would hope any team would love to have a rotation of Eovaldis. 5 starters would take their team to 55-10. If the rest of the team were even 10-25 that would leave the team at 65-35 for 100 games and 1st in any division in baseball. It is all about wins and nothing else.
Lets go Yankees.
Yankees trail 2-0 after two.
Yanks down 6-1 after 5.
Down 8-1 after 8..will need a win tomorrow to take series.
Final 8-2 loss.
Montgomery needs more seasoning, but he will turn out to be a rotation starter.
1-0 Yanks after 3
6-0 Yankees. Nova sharp as a tack thru 4.
12-3 after 7. Big win for a 6-4 road trip and another series and for Nova.
Final 12-3 win.
Best record in baseball for month of July. Haven't lost a series since the all star break. Many future stars of the horizon. Things are looking good.
Off day. Three with the sux starting tomorrow.
Is everyone waiting to see Severino??????
Louie, Louie. In the rotation for the rest of the season.
I will be watching and rooting for Severino.
I can remember back in the 50's how the Yankees would bring up a pitcher late in the season and he would help carry the team to the pennant late in the season. There were several. Luis Severino will now have the opportunity to do that this season. I will be watching and rooting him on and look forward to his positive impact on the team in their drive to the pennant this season.
Tanaka tonight. Severino tomorrow. Going to game tomorrow.
Teena, hope your winning record continues tomorrow and for Severino.
I try to watch every game, but will make sure I watch Severinos outing. Most important is to win each series one game at a time.
Go Yankees, go Severino. This is the time to shine and start down the road to stardom.
Win tonight and then win with Severino tomorrow. We don't make the playoffs unless we win.
Yankee big time future is right around the corner because of all WIN METHOD does.
Tanaka hasn't been as consistent as he should be. Lets get straightened out for the rest of the season.
Yanks down 2-1 after 5.
Yanks take 4-2 lead after 6.
