Hello WIN METHOD fans. It is that time, the 2017 MLB season is set to begin, tomorrow the games count. The magic of the spring training 25-9 record means nothing. The home runs, runs batted in, the wins, the losses the strike outs, etc, none of it makes a bit of difference. Now is when it counts and matters, performing under pressure, and producing when it matters to earn wins for the team is all that counts. WINS and only wins will, by seasons end, determine who are the best teams and players. They will be the players that help lead their teams to the playoffs.
The YANKEES for 2017 and beyond are blessed with an abundance of talent all through the organization. And success breeds success as each youngster pressures and pushes the players ahead of them to reach the final goal of reaching and playing in the major leagues. Once there, the goal of making the playoffs and advancing to the World Series can be reached. Hal Steinbrenner has come on board the WIN METHOD train and his decision is going to reap benefits as the YANKEES reach the playoffs more consistently and the fans come to the ballpark to see the new young talent for years to come.
The YANKEES will start the 2017 with three youngsters in the starting lineup. Aaron Judge in right field, Greg Bird at first base, Gary Sanchez catching. Unfortunately, shortstop Didi Gregorius is starting the season on the disabled list, hurting his shoulder playing in the sham world baseball classic fiasco. The YANKEES have added youngster Pete Kozma to the roster to fill in until Didis' return.
Johnathon Holder another youngster is also on the roster as a relief pitcher to start the season. During the season you will likely see many different youngsters see some time on the YANKEE roster and do not be surprised to see one or two stick with the team this season. Two of the brightest prospects are Gleyber Torres who is on the cusp of sticking with YANKEES this season and has a very bright future ahead of him. The second is Blake Rutherford who will start the season in single 'A' Charleston as a nineteen year old. Blake is my own personal favorite to be a real big star in the major leagues as he shows much of the character, charisma, talent and desire of Derek Jeter. Can you all imagine having a youngsters follow in the footsteps of Jeter who was the best MLB player in baseball over his twenty year career. More playoffs, pennants, the World Series rings than any other player in baseball over his playing time span.
The WIN METHOD blog has now exceeded over one hundred sixty-four million views and the number one baseball blog in the world. The growth over the past two years has been exponential as more people are learning that only WINS and winning determine who the best players and teams are in baseball. Individual stats show abilities of players to play at different degrees. Batting average, power, speed can be illustrated via individual stats for hitters, while strikeouts, walks, hits allowed can be illustrated for pitchers. But, the ability of any player to be the best can only be shown by WINS and winning. You can't be the best unless you win. WIN METHOD fans already know this, and as more and more people from all over the world read, enjoy, and follow this blog, they also become the smartest baseball fans in the world. They have learned that no players individual stats are more important than wins and winning. Wins and winning is the goal of every team and should be for every player. Wins and winning is what makes the WIN METHOD the best player evaluation tool in the world.
Now, as the 2017 season begins, we are looking for a winning season, the playoffs and beyond, as the team keeps getting better and more youngster keep getting better and becoming good enough to make the big league team. Thank you, to all you fans from all over the world, baseballs brightest and most knowledgeable. Lets all get ready for a great season. LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1452 Newer› Newest»Betances coming in for the 9th to get some work. Hasn't pitched since last Saturday.
Final, a very nice 7-0 win.
Louie Louie tomorrow with a chance to win this series.
Nice game, nice win, now everyone go out and celebrate and have a great rest of this Saturday.
Could we get an extra blessing and have Montgomery follow in the footsteps of Andy Pettitte.
Lets earn the win tomorrow. Mow them down Louie Louie.
Teena/Bronx........I hope you are right. But if Montgomery is to be another Pettitte, he will have to help the Yankees to the playoffs, and beyond, and win some World Series.
Lets hope Louie Louie is as sharp as he was last outing.
There are several minor leaguers chomping at the bit to show their wares in the majors for the Yankees.
It is nice playing today knowing at a minimum you will split this four game series and with a win you can win the series three games to one. Let go Yankees.
Toronto came into this series hot with their full lineup in tact. Lets dump some cold water on them with a win today.

Sanchez in as normal. Hope Romine gets the time off from the foul tip pounding of yesterday. Refsynder at first base.
I love the way stat frauds exult and display their utter baseball ignorance each step along the season. First, the Yankees have no chance to reach the playoffs this season, then the Yankees have just started off good, but can they keep it up, then the Yankees can't go deep into the playoffs because of their pitching. Stat frauds, the stupidest baseball fans in the world.
Todays game means either 4-3 or 3-4 road trip against the O's and Blue Jays.
Both pitchers dealing. Scoreless after two.
0-0 after 2.
Louie Louie hitting 100.
0-0 after 3 and we have an old fashioned pitchers duel going on.
Yankees score first. Judge single Holiday double. 1-0 after four.
Yanks up 1-0 after 4.
2-2 after 6.
After Yanks get run in sixth for 2-0 lead, with 2 out and no one on Louie Louie allows a single and home run for 2-2 tie after 6. One lousy pitch and the Jays are back in the game.
All even 2-2 after 7.
Clippard gives up HR in 8th and Yankees trail 3-2. Last shot in the 9th.
This would be a horrid loss.
Yanks lose 3-2.
One heck of a stinking loss. Another one run game.
Forget about it. Learn and get better. We WILL win it all this season.
Sometimes I hate baseball, but it is the greatest game on earth. By far.
Sharon/NC.......Don't let you get you down. Think of the end result this season. Making the playoffs and how much more.
Look at a positive. We have just played Toronto four games while the bosux and Orioles played four games and everybody won and lost two games. With us in first place it just ate up four games with no position change and no one gaining on us.
New week, day off, home, then back into the frying pan, three with the bosux and three with the O's.
i can't wait until we get a couple more youngsters on the MLB roster.
Off day. Back at the Stadium tomorrow versus the bosux.
Got to just keep on winning as a team. Everyone contributes and there are reinforcements on the way.
Look for the Yankees to make a roster move or two in the next ten days.
bigbadwolf....lets do it and move forward. Lets go Yankees.
I would think that either or both Austin and Bird are involved.
Tyler Austin came off the DL today and was assigned to AAA Scranton. Logical move because when Bird is ready he will come to Yankees. Slowly but surely we get better and better.
Yankeeforever, they both may be on the Yankees this season. Management has a plan, and management has more information and knowledge than any of the second guessers and or fools who think they know better.
Tanaka tonight against the sux. What will we get?
We play one game at a time and it is usually good to win the first game of any series, but to win these next two series would be really good.
The Yankees are one of only three teams that have used just five starting pitchers so far this season. The Yankees possible sixth, Chance Adams, is waiting for the call at AAA.
We need and are about do for a nice 5+ game win streak.

Carter back at first base. In against a lefty starter for the sux.
Lets go guys, get it done. WIN!
Step up Masahiro, strut your stuff.
Just about time for first place Yankee baseball.
1-1 after 2.
Tanaka getting hit very hard and allows 2 HRs in 4th putting Yanks down 4-1.
Yanks down 4-1 after 4.
Tanaka tagged for another HR in 5th. Down 5-1.
It is not good when your 'ace' has been your worst starter for the season so far.
Yanks down 5-3 after 6.
Cory, time to give Chance Adams a shot?
Yanks cut lead to 5-4 and Carter strikes out swinging on a pitch than almost hit him with two on to end the 8th.
Yanks down 5-4 after 8.
Another tough one run loss. Final 5-4.
Tanaka buried us again. Takes another loss. We did fight back once he left the game and the bullpen gave up nothing to give us a chance.
At least we made them hard use their bullpen. Try again with CC tomorrow.
After losing game one we now have to play catch up again.
It's a long season fans. Every team will have ups and downs. The Yankees will move pieces when then decide the time is right for all involved. Bide your time, smile and be happy. We will be the best at the end.
By gosh we had nine hits yesterday and the sux only had six. But those stats are meaningless, the sux won and we lost and that is what counts.
Steve, I agree with most of what you said, but don't you think that the Yankees have two or three players on the roster now that can easily be replaced with better parts from below?
Hope CC keeps his good pitching going tonight.
Run differential is yet another stat fraud piece of garbage. You win 10-2 and lose 5-4, and all it means is you are 1-1 even though you scored twice as many runs as your opponent. Your opponent scores half the runs you do and they are also 1-1.
sid greenberg,nyc.....Yes I do, but as I stated I think the Yankees will make those decisions based on knowledge and reasoning they have and we do not.
So far the Yankees seem to be making good decisions helping them to be in first place in their division.

Yes, Carter is in the lineup. No comment.
Time for a Yankee win.
1-0 Yankees thru 3 on Didi HR. BUT, Yanks had men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and did not score WHEN it MATTERED. Hope we don't have to look back at this inning later.
Carter with a 3 run HR in 4th puts Yankees up 5-0 after 4.
CC throwing a gem tonight. Eight innings, no runs, five hits, no walks and leads 6-0. I wonder if he will come out for the ninth? Holder is throwing in the pen.
Yankees add a couple of meaningless runs in 8th for a 8-0 lead and Holder is pitching the 9th.
Final, Yankees win 8-0. Great job by CC.
Rubber game tomorrow with Big Mike on the mound.
Holding our own. Carter with his best game of the season with the bottom of the order doing almost all the damage for the win.
Lets repeat last night guys.
Rubber game tonight. Lets take this series.
Throw strikes and dominate Big Mike.
Just score some runs and play good baseball for a win.

Same as yesterday, same results?
Price has come back strong from injury. Do for a setback game?
Winning tonight gives a speck more cushion between us and the competition.
Big Mike, keep the goose egg streak going.
1-0 Yankees after 2.
Sanchez 3 run Ballantine blast for 4-0 lead thru 3.
Todd Griffin, you called it. Price getting hammered.
Sanchez 2nd HR of game, a run job has Yankees up 6-1 and still batting in 5th.
7-1 Yanks thru 6.
Betances in for 9th for some work.
Just what we needed, a series win against the sux.
Final, Yanks win 9-1.
Good win tonight. Now to take the O's series this weekend.
Monty, Louie Louie, and Tanaka scheduled for Baltimore series. Lets win this series.
The run the sux go last night was unearned. CC and Big Mike and the Yankee bullpen from the 6th inning on of game one did not allow an earned run to the sux over 22 innings.
Yanks23245, all true but we won only 2 of the 3 games and could have should have won all three if we produced a hit when it mattered in game one.
If Monty gets more consistent, confident, control, he will become a major asset.
Just keep winning. And let the minor leaguers bloom and grow.
If we win the first two games of this series then Tanaka has no pressure Sunday.

Holiday playing first base, Romine catching, Sanchez DH. Pretty strong lineup.
Basically only real change is Romine in for Carter.
Yes we can, yes we will. Lets go Yankees.
Now that is WIN METHOD. Double, deep fly out with runner moving to third, deep fly out sac for a run. 2-2 after 2.
Hicks HR puts Yanks up 3-2 after 6.
Monty goes 7 great innings with one mistake.
Hicks 2nd HR of game helps Yanks to a 6-2 lead after 7.
Clippard in for 8th.
A good solid win. 8-2.
Final. Yanks win 8-2.
Great pitching + solid hitting = a win. Do it again tomorrow.
Nice effort from Montgomery. He is coming along very nicely.
Hicks has been something else this season. What an asset. Offensively and defensively.
Louie Louie tonight for the series. Yes we can.
jimbo & Tony.....Do not be surprised to see some more very nice performances this season from guys that are blooming and growing.
We talked about this 13 game stretch against all AL East teams and how we would hold up. Played 11 so far and are 6-5. It would appear we have done reasonably well.
Still no starter named for tomorrow.

Carter back at first base.
Lets do the same as the last three games. WIN!
Judge solo home run, Sanchez 2 RBI single, Gregorius 2 run home run, and Carter RBI single put Yanks up 6-0 after one. Gardner makes first and third outs of inning.
Castro 3 run HR for 9-0 lead in 2nd. Now the stat frauds will be able to say the only reason Louie Louie is a winner is because of the run support. They are fools.
Yanks up 9-0 after 2.
Tonights game is a perfect illustration of how easy it is to produce meaningless runs and make the stats the stat frauds live and die by, as useless as their opinions.
14-1 Yanks thru 7. Subs in for the 8th. Gallegos pitching. Louie Louie was brilliant again.
Hope we are not looking for some of these runs tomorrow.
Final, win 16-3.
A true laugher from the first inning.
Go for the sweep tomorrow. Word is Yankees bringing up German from AAA to start the game. He is on the 40 man roster so that is a logical move and does not screw around with the pitching staff.
Last game of the 13 game stretch of all AL East teams. A win will make for an 8-5 run and a loss leaves us at 7-6. Nothing wrong with 7-6 but 8-5 is fine.
Not German today, but Green has been named to start.

Carter in, at first base moved up one spot in order. Torreyes at third base.
1-6 in the lineup have been devastating opposing pitchers. Hope they keep it up today after the runs scored the past few games.
Sanchez 3 run home run caps a 5 run first inning. Wow!
/////////// DISCLAIMER /////////
YOU ARE NEVER AS GOOD AS YOU ARE WHEN PLAYING YOUR BEST AND YOU ARE NEVER AS BAD AS YOU ARE WHEN PLAYING YOUR WORST.
Ben Rosen/Israel.....You nailed it Ben. Five runs today by the first six batters.
Looks like Girardi going to use everyone to pitch today. Green goes 2, Shreve 1, and Holder in now. 5-3 Yanks. It ain't over.
Yankees take 7-3 lead through four innings.
Warren 4th Yankee pitcher of game as he comes in in fifth inning.
Oh my, oh my, I can't believe this team.
At the pleasure of disturbing some stat frauds, all this good happening with the Yankees was when they kicked afraud, off the team last August.
German comes in with one out in 7th as the Yankees 5th pitcher of the game. Great the way Girardi brings in the kids to MLB without pressure to gain experience.
10-3 Yankees after seven. Looks like a sweep of the O's and an 8-5 13 games against the AL East.
White Knight... You missed four runs. 14-3 after 7. Judge 2nd HR of game.
WIN METHOD has done it again. In finding Judge, he may have found the next generational MLB after Jeter.
Final fifth consecutive win 14-3. Go west young man go west.
Yankees progress this season. Here are games 51-60.
Here we go:
Another strong 10 game stretch of 7-3. Only one negative of six 10 game periods.
10. 6-4
20. 7-3 = 13-7
30. 8-2 = 21-9
40. 3-7 = 24-16
50. 6-4 = 30-20
60. 7-3 = 37-23
Keep the wins coming. Wins are all that counts.
The way Girardi used the pen today, probably everyone is available if needed tomorrow. Likely Green, Warren and German would get tomorrow off, but it is not a must.
This team is hot right now. Hope the pounding continues on the west coast.
Frank Sergi, yes WIN METHOD is the best there is.
Would really like to see Tanaka join the pitching party tomorrow night against the Angels.
3 games with Angels and 4 games with A's. A 4-3 record would be fine.
Cory, thanks, the chart puts winning into perspective. Looks like if the trend stays the same a win total of 95 is very doable.
How many of you fans in the East stay up for tongihts game? I do most of the time.
I usually start the West coast games and hang in as long as I can.
WIN METHOD told me this morning....."do not be surprised to see the Yankees draft a player in the first round that will surprise many."
More likely than not WIN METHOD will select another gem ready to bloom and grow down the road.
I usually stay around for the entire west coast games.
The stat frauds must always deny and demean the WIN METHOD because it proves all their views wrong and illegitimate.
Every time I watch the Yankees play, it is such a pleasure to see clean shaven young short haircut young men than the scraggly bearded long haired players on other teams.
I tape all games in case I can't watch when the Yanks are playing. I do try to watch every game live, but there are several reasons why I can't.
I try to watch every game, but do miss one or two here and there.
Lets get off to a great start and win first game of western swing.

WIN METHOD nailed it. Drafted Clarke Schmidt, right handed pitcher. Someone no one expected.
The idiot stat frauds are going beserk with the Yankee draft selection of Clarke Schmidt. That is good because they know nothing.
Tanaka gives up first inning home run.
Yankees trailing 1-0 after 2.
Yankee second round pick is Matt Sauer right handed power high school pitcher who could turn out to be a real gem. WIN METHOD is on a roll.
1-1 thru 4.
Yankees lead 2-1 after 6.
I see WIN METHOD went for pitching again.
Yankee sloppy play initiated by Headley error allow Angels to tie game at 3 thru 7 innings.
Judge 2 run 8th inning HR gives Yanks 5-3 lead.
Betances in for a 1,2,3 9th, the save and a 5-3 win.
Final Yanks win 5-3.
Best was Tanaka did well tonight.
Judges HR decided last nights game but the first three runs the Yankees scored were all on two out RBI singles when it mattered.
I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that WIN METHOD knows something about first round pick Clarke Schmidt that no else knows.
Hope CC can keep his magic going tonight.

Inside information dead on right again.
White Knight...you know WIN METHODS pick was not based on meaningless stats, Maybe WIN METHOD found out the doctors inserted a special device in Schmidts elbow during his surgery.
SPOILER ALERT..that is a joke stat frauds. But you never know.

Yankees blow it in 11. Go down 3-2 in a game they should have could have easily won.
Carter is a class by himself. There is no way he should be playing for this team, NO WAY.
We now have to play to win this series tonight instead of playing for a sweep. Pineda gets the call.

Guy Padikian, I can't wait to read you lineup comment each day.
Yankees score 4 in 1st, 3 on Sanchez HR.
Pineda looks like he is pitching batting practice. Every at bat has been a very hard hit ball and he has given back 3 runs already. 4-3 Yanks thru 2.
Yanks up 4-3 after 2.
