The 2016 Major League Baseball season starts today. The New York YANKEES first game will be tomorrow in New York against the Houston Astros. The starting rotation has been decided, the twenty-five man roster has been decided, and tomorrow the drive for the playoffs will begin. This is not fantasy baseball, played by stat fraud fools who live by meaningless individual statistics, this is real baseball where winning is determined by what all players on each team contribute to help their team win the most often. These contributions are measured by wins and players producing at the right time, when it matters, and not by how much or how many stats they produce for themselves as their team fails.
The injury bug has bitten the YANKEES, as it has bitten every team in one way or another. First baseman Greg Bird is likely out for the season. Pitcher Brian Mitchell may be out approximately three months, and pitcher Andrew Miller with a broken bone in his non throwing wrist may have been the luckiest, and will lose no playing time.
Several YANKEE WIN METHOD youngsters are blooming and growing and are on the roster to start the season, and several more are on the near horizon and will start their season in the minors.
Several years ago the WIN METHOD made a concerted effort to find pitching talent each season and the YANKEES drafted many of these youngsters. The time is here for some of these youngsters and the time for others is just around the corner.
The YANKEE management led by the brilliant dealing of General Manager Brian Cashman have added several new players to this seasons roster and have deepened the bench for 2016. Also, three very possible future stars are so near. Catcher Gary Sanchez, right fielder Aaron Judge, and shortstop Jorge Mateo are getting closer to the major league roster every day. Playing regularly in the minors right now is best for them and their development. But they will soon be heard from.
Remember fans, it is a long season, there will be ups and downs, and as always only wins and winning will be the determining factor on which teams earn playoffs spots and go on to the second season. Let the stat fraud fools play their fantasy games. We will play for real baseball and root for our team to win and root for the contributions of each player to help our team win.
LETS GO YANKEES
The 2016 starts with WIN METHOD leading the way. Let go Yankees.

ReplyDeleteNothing changes, the black hole hits into a DP in his first at bat to kill off a rally.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 1.
ReplyDeleteYanks lead 2-0 after 2.
ReplyDeleteThe brilliance of Joe Girardi. Girardi bats Castro 8th, to the dismay of almost all stat frauds, so Castro in his first Yankee at bat comes up with 2 men on and delivers a 2 rbi double.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 2-1 after 4.
ReplyDeleteYanks 2-1 after 5. Tanaka pretty good stuff.
ReplyDelete2-2 after 6.

ReplyDeleteEovaldi today for the series win. Lets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteWould be good to take first series of season. Hope we didn't waste too many runs yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCastro has been great. Great deal by Cashman.
ReplyDeletePineda did not pitch well. Hopefully Eovaldi will be better.
ReplyDeleteHeavy rains approaching. Does not look good for a game today.
ReplyDeleteUpdate, storms are moving very fast. Have had heavy rains. There may be a window to play game if field is safe enough.
ReplyDeleteTodays Yankee lineup posted. Same as last nights.
ReplyDeleteYankees trail 3-2 after 3.
ReplyDelete5-5 after 5. Eovaldi out after 5. Did not pitch well, but good enough to keep his team in the game.
ReplyDeleteYankees take 8-5 lead after 7 on Teixeira 3 run HR.
ReplyDelete8-5 Yanks after 7.
ReplyDeleteYankee bullpen holds the fort and earns the win. Yates, Shreve, Betances, 6th, 7th, and 8th scoreless innings as the Yankees take an 8-5 lead batting in the 8th. Miller likely for the 9th.
ReplyDeleteYankees win 8-5.
ReplyDeleteMiller struggles but puts game in the books for a win.
ReplyDeleteFinal Yanks win 8-5.
ReplyDeleteTheeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn.
ReplyDeleteThe YANKEES defeated the Astros this afternoon, winning 8-5, to win their first series of the season. Nathan Eovladi pitched five innings allowing five runs and left the game with the score tied, keeping his team in the game. The YANKEE bullpen of Yates in the 6th, Shreve in the 7th, Betances in the 8th, and Miller in the 9th earned the win for Shreve, the hold for Betances, and the save for Miller, with four scoreless innings.
ReplyDeleteLouie Louie starts tomorrow in Detroit opener.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good guys. Lets win another series.
ReplyDeleteBullpen has been great and can only get better with Chapman suspension over next month.
ReplyDeleteLouie Louie, be the man. Be the ace.
ReplyDeleteInteresting lineup today. McCann, Beltran, and afraud all not in lineup.
ReplyDeleteYanks trail 1-0 after 2.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 1-0 after 3.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 3-0 after 5.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 4-0 after 7.
ReplyDeleteYankees go down 4-0. You don't score, you can't win.
ReplyDeleteYanks go down 4-0. Just 4 hits.
ReplyDeleteFour games. The two best pitched games by the starters, the team lost. the two bad games by the starters, the team won. Pretty much divines why only wins matter, over any other stat the frauds espouse.
ReplyDeleteCC on tap this afternoon in Detroit, weather permitting. It is going to be cold and CC does not do well in cold weather.
ReplyDeleteLight snow falling in Detroit right now.
ReplyDeleteWell CC will get his chance to prove himself again.
ReplyDeleteIf CC does not perform well, I wonder how long a leash he will have.
ReplyDelete2-0 Yankees after 2.
ReplyDelete6-2 Yankees after 4.
ReplyDelete8-2 Yanks after 5.
ReplyDeleteCC first Yankee pitcher to go six innings this season. Leads 6-2 after 6. One bad inning when he walked three, two scored on the first hit in the game he gave up.
ReplyDeleteFinal. 8-4 win for CC and Yanks.
ReplyDeleteTheeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnn.
ReplyDeleteShreve, Betances and Miller close it out for an 8-4 win.
ReplyDeleteNice win and hopefully a confidence builder for CC.
ReplyDeleteReally, CC had just one bad inning. And that was after the Yankees had a long inning putting up four runs to take a 6-0 lead. Walked 3 of the 4 he gave up in the game.
ReplyDeleteLets take this series and move on. Lets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the despicable espn Sunday night game. A night game in Detroit no less. How stupid.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's 8am Sunday morning and I (we) have to wait 12 hours for our teams baseball game. May espn rot forever.
ReplyDeleteThe worst is the talking heads at espn are the worst of the worst.
ReplyDeleteTo win tonight and take the first tow series of the season would be a big positive.
ReplyDeleteWhile every team plays baseball the Yankees and Tigers wait and wait and wait to play a game for espn, the dregs of baseball information.
ReplyDeleteSnowing in Detroit right now. The game is still 8 hours away.
ReplyDeleteIs it 8 oclock yet.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the weather maps, I would think it would be very hard to play tonight.
ReplyDeleteTonights game has been mercifully canceled. Rot in hell espn.
ReplyDeleteNo game is good for me. I can go to bed and have no problem getting to work on time.
ReplyDeleteNo game today and an off day tomorrow. Plenty of rest for the team.
ReplyDeleteGet na off day because of icy, snowy, rainy, cold weather and your in Detroit. What a downer.
ReplyDeleteYou don't dare set foot outside your hotel.
ReplyDeleteOff day today and then three games in Toronto starting tomorrow. They have a roof.
ReplyDeleteWhen you play in the north this early in the season there is always the chance of bad weather. The teams with roofs are nice stops along your route knowing there will be no cancellations.
ReplyDeleteMy assessment of the Yankee team after five games. No real negatives. So far so good.
ReplyDeleteThe rotation gets nudged one spot. Tanaka, Pineda, and Eovaldi go against the Jays.
ReplyDeleteTanaka goes tonight at Toronto.
ReplyDeleteThe Yanks have lost the first game of both series played.
ReplyDeleteTaking this series would be making an early statement.
ReplyDeleteLets sweep.
ReplyDeleteSweeping is the goal, but I can live with two of three.
ReplyDeleteStart the series on the right foot guys.
ReplyDeleteGame time, lets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteYanks trail 2-1 after 3. Tanaka over 70 pitches in 3 innings.
ReplyDelete2-2 after 6.
ReplyDeleteAll even at 2 thru 6.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 3-2 after 7. It's the bullpens game.
ReplyDeleteFinal, Yankees win 3-2.
ReplyDeleteBullpen does it again for the win. Barbato 6th, Shreve 7th, Betances 8th, Miller 9th.
ReplyDeleteTheeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnn.
ReplyDeleteMike, it was the bullpens game and they did their job. Good call.
ReplyDeleteOne win at a time. Keep grinding.
ReplyDeleteWIN METHOD rules.
ReplyDeleteHeadley had one heck of a game last night. Several brilliant defensive plays.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the Blue Jay series last night. Don't let up, do it again tonight.
ReplyDeletePineda tonight. He has too much good stuff to not be dominating the way he should. Put it together Mike.
ReplyDeleteMany guys did outstanding jobs last for the win. That is what the WIN METHOD is all about. One person means little. Many persons means a lot. I agree, Headley played outstanding defense last night and so far this season.
ReplyDeleteWas reading some posts of the brain dead at a baseball forum I posted at and was ousted because I upset the brain dead with a combined IQ of 16. They are whining and crying already. Complaining about almost everything and making up trades of several different players. Thank God for this blog and common sense.
ReplyDeleteNo let up tonight guys. Pitch and hit, win as a team, everyone contributes. Lets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteSteve, many here have been down that road. Stat frauds when challenged with logic and common sense, lash out any way they can in the worst ways possible. Many are a product of the dumbing down of America.
ReplyDeleteMow them down big Mike. Lets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteSteve, wolfie, you guys are much to kind to the know nothings you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteNo score after one.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 1-0 after 4.
ReplyDeleteYankees down 3-1 after 6.
ReplyDeleteYanks trail 3-1 after 6. Pineda has been decent.
ReplyDeleteThis blog was more fun when it was about baseball, now it's more about name-calling and ridiculing others...
ReplyDeleteYanks cut Jay lead to 3-2 in 8th and then Nova comes in to pitch 8th and throws batting practice being hit hard by every Jay batter. Gives up 4 runs to give Jays 7-2 lead after 8.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 7-2 after 8.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I see the truth hurts and you can't handle the truth.
ReplyDeleteFinal 7-2 loss.
ReplyDeleteBetter to lose by 5 than 1. It's still just one loss.
ReplyDeleteEovaldi goes in the rubber game tomorrow. Lets win it.
ReplyDeleteSteve-
ReplyDeleteWhat truth are you referring to that I can't handle? The truth is that you are acting in an extremely pretentious matter and taking the focus away from the Yankees and baseball. Your gossiping about posters in other blogs and how much smarter you are then them is bush league and childish, to say the least, and takes away from what really matters, the Yankees march to another championship. Hope they take the final game of the series tomorrow!
Good game last night, but didn't get a hit or two WHEN it would have mattered most. A game that could have been won.
ReplyDeleteLets go Yankees take this series.
ReplyDeleteSarah, what I am talking about is not gossip, it is fact that many here have been through. Never suggested I was smarter than posters in other forums, I stated that almost every poster here is smarter than them. Banning people is bush league, childish, and done by people who can't handle common sense and real baseball. They are better off left to play with themselves.
ReplyDeleteafraud should not be on the roster.
ReplyDeleteI second that Erica.
ReplyDeleteWe need for one of our pitchers to throw a gem. All are capable, but it would be really nice to get 7 innings of shutout ball from a starter.
ReplyDeleteTaking this series is a nice step forward.
ReplyDeleteLets score early and put up several runs.
ReplyDeleteHugh, most important, win.
ReplyDeleteTime for a win.
ReplyDelete2-0 Yanks after 4.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 4-2 after 7.
ReplyDeleteFinal 4-2 loss.
ReplyDeleteEovaldi goes 6 2/3 but loses 4-2.
ReplyDeleteLouie Louie goes tonight and he faces the dancing queen.
ReplyDeleteWould be very nice for Louie Louie to best the dancing queen tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Nathan Karns the dancing queen...?
ReplyDeleteafraud not in lineup tonight, that's a plus.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake. I thought Felix 'dancing queen' Hernandez was starting tonight.
ReplyDeleteSol, I say Hernandez listed also. I thought he was starting tonight. I guess CC goes against him tomorrow.
ReplyDelete4-4 after 8 games. Take this series and move forward.
ReplyDeleteSeverino time.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 1-0 after 3.
ReplyDeleteYankees trail 3-1 after 5 as batters fail time after time WHEN it would count.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 4-1 after 6 and leave the bases loaded failing to produce when it mattered.
ReplyDeleteYanks go down 7-1 and played lackadaisical baseball. Did not produce one time when it would have mattered most. Go look at the box score and see the runners left on base by almost everyone in the lineup.
ReplyDeleteOne heck of a lousy game last night. U_G_L_Y.
ReplyDeleteI have it fight today. CC Sabathia will start for the Yankees against the Mariners Felix 'dancing queen' Hernandez.
ReplyDeleteWake up guys.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the camera shot of the dancing queen during last nights game?
ReplyDeleteLets see what CC brings to the table today.
ReplyDeleteMore important, lets see what the hitters bring today.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 1. Yanks leave 2 men on in 1st.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 2. Yanks leave bases loaded in 2nd. The pendulum will eventually swing our way.
ReplyDelete
