WIN METHOD 2017 - The season begins as we bloom and grow.

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.

  1. Coming to post about Betances and I get a new blog post. Very nice. LETS GO YANKEES. My thought on Betances, is he a head case? getting bad advice? or did getting married screw him up?

  7. The WIN METHOD has always blown away the stat frauds and all other baseball sites and forums.
    Nothing is better than winning. the positive attitude by almost all here, the none negating of management, coaches, players to a great degree is a pleasure.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Would be great to get off to a good start and build on the good vibes from spring training.

    ReplyDelete
  9. WIN METHOD is really high on Rutherford. He must see something special in him to compare him to Jetes.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Being positive, the starters will be in the game for more at bats and less days off, particularly giving the youngsters more at bats at more chance to produces when it matters.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It is still the same old same old, win each series playing one game at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I see where on a baseball forum one of the stat frauds got played with an April fools prank that Aaron Judge was placed on the DL.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Fans, chew on this. One HR by any player, just once per week, over the six month season equates to approximately 25 home runs. Nice if Bird, Judge, and Sanchez would all accomplish in their first full season.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Love this blog and the great information in it. No nonsense, positive, and uplifting. Best yet, no advertisements and no one trying to sell me something. Keep up the best site in sports.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Steve, it's April fools day, only a stat fraud could be so gullible.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Steve, Eddie, I would think anyone with half a brain would verify a claim of a DL injury before spreading the information.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes we can. Oh yes we can. Naysayers, get a life.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Play as a team, everyone contributes. No me's, many us's.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Brian Crowley, I sure hope so.

    ReplyDelete
  82. No rbis from your 2 and 3 hitters leaves much to be desired.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Louie Louie gets his chance to start tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  84. New opposition in a new ballpark this weekend. The past is done, the future is ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  85. A win from Louie Louie tonight would be great and maybe a step forward for him. He has the tools, just needs to mature and learn to pitch using his skills.

    ReplyDelete
  86. The friendly confines of Oriole Park may be just what our kids need.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Yankees down 6-5 after 8 as Clippard allows first runs by bullpen this season.

    ReplyDelete
  95. This was a tough loss, but again, a hit or two when we had the opportunities and it would be an easy win instead of another loss.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Tanaka starts this afternoon and we could use a big start and a win.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Bird is off to one horrendous start. Hope he can keep positive and be who he is and do what he is capable of doing. Right now he is hitting like our ex black hole afraud.

    9. Ronald Torreyes (R) SS

    Bird and Judge both on bench today. Carter and Hicks in.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Bird doesn't seem to be getting fooled, he appears to be right on pitches, he is just swinging and missing everything. Major slump?

    ReplyDelete
  102. All will work out, it is a very long season.

    ReplyDelete
  103. 2 rbi single for Torreyes when it matters in 2nd for 2-0 lead.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Yankees up 2-1 after 4.

    ReplyDelete
  105. 4-3 Yanks after 5. Sanchez likely going on the DL.

  112. Yanks cut O's lead to 3-2 on Torreyes 2 rbi triple. Torreyes only Yankee producing when it counts so far this season.

  113. Come on Yanks, I doubt want to be the newbie jinx.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Judge solo HR ties it in 8th. 3-3.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Castro rbi single in 9th gives Yankees 4-3 lead. Judge gets rbi ground out to right side for 5-3 lead. Romine sac fly rbi for 6-3 lead, and Headley scores on throwing error for 7-3 lead.
    We needed this. CC kept it close, bullpen did its job, and we finally got production when it mattered.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Chapman 1,2,3 ninth. Final 7-3.

    ReplyDelete
  117. 2-4 is better than 1-5. Much needed win.

    ReplyDelete
  118. For the fool stat frauds. The Yankees outscored the O's in the series, but alas, lost the series 2 games to 1. How much and how many mean nothing unless you are talking about WINS.

    7. Aaron Judge (R) RF
    8. Austin Romine (R) C

    Finally, Gardner and Ellsbury together at the top of the order again.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Torreyes leads the team in RBIs with 7, Holiday is next with 4 and Judge with 3.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Game time, lets win for two in a row.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Failure when it counts. Carter strikes out with man on 3rd and one out.

    ReplyDelete

    WE WILL WIN. Lets go YANKEES.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  134. Jordan Montgomery has been named to start tomorrows game against the Rays.

    ReplyDelete
  135. WIN METHOD called it again. He said there would be many new faces seeing time with the Yankees before this season is over.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Montgomery gives us a second left handed starter. Hope it produces for us at the top level.

    ReplyDelete
  137. OK, now we have five starters, three righties and two lefties, plus a very strong bullpen.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Blake Rutherford is off to a solid start in Charleston. WIN METHOD think Rutherford could be another gem in the mold of Derek Jeter.

    ReplyDelete
  139. WIN METHOD knows baseball better than possibly anyone else there is. WIN METHOD is the reason the Yankees have dominated baseball for the post two decades.

    ReplyDelete
  140. TREASURE OR TRASH?

    WIN METHOD is treasure and Bill James is trash.

    ReplyDelete
  141. It looks like Bird may have been trying to play with an injury to his foot he suffered during spring training and then getting the flu. Hope these several day off gets him back and on track.

    ReplyDelete
  142. WIN METHOD is the number one talent evaluater in baseball.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Think big Montgomery, then pitch big.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Afternoon game today fans.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  155. Thursday 4/13 7:05pm
    Luis Severino (R)
    vs. Rays - Matt Andriese (R)
    1. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF
    2. Aaron Hicks (S) LF

    7. Aaron Judge (R) RF
    8. Austin Romine (R) C
    9. Ronald Torreyes (R) SS

    Girardi taking a bit of pressure off of Bird?

    ReplyDelete
  156. Hicks solo HR in first.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Yanks down 2-1 after six. Severino has pitched well. Yank bats failing again WHEN it matters.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Severino goes seven innings allowing 2 runs and K'ing 11. Then gets rewarded in the bottom of 7th as Aaron Hicks hits his second HR of game, this one with a man on for a 3-2 lead after 7.

  159. Final 3-2 win. Chapman save, Severino win, Hicks all 3 ribbies.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  167. I can live with a 6-4 opening 10 games.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Don't forget Romines HR last night, but the single biggest event of the game was Tyler Clippard getting the popup with a man on third and less than two out in the seventh last night, and then getting the third out. Clippard performed WHEN it mattered most, not by creating a run(s), but by preventing run(s).
    Learn the WIN METHOD fans and become a knowledgeable baseball fan. Stay away from the ignorant stat frauds.

  170. Is everyone on Easter break? Brilliant game from CC today. 7 1/3 innings of one run pitching. Then Warren with 2/3, 2 up 2 down. The Clippard for the save attempt allows HR to cut Yankee lead to 3-2. Also gives up a hit and a walk but does strike out the side for the save and Yankee win. The WIN which is what counts.

  171. CC has been special so far.
    Has anyone ever started off as bad as Bird has?

  172. OK. We won a 3-2 game today. BUT we were 1-13 with RISP. How easy would today have been IF we got just 1 or 2 hits when we had those RISP?

  173. Pineda tomorrow. Can he come close to last outing and start showing consistency.

  177. Nothing like WIN METHOD baseball. WINS and only wins determine the best.

  178. Sarcasm.....come on people, you know individual stats are the most important thing is baseball. If not for individual stats how could fantasy baseball, the game for imbeciles, ever exist. Wins stink and determine nothing.
    Fact....does everyone realize how stupid stat frauds must be to believe wins are not the most important stat in baseball and how stupid they are playing in the fantasy world.

  180. Waiting for Bird to get straightened out, would be a nice plus. Everyone has to help carry the load at different times.

  181. Let it be Pineda time again. Just like last week Mike, follow Romines lead, stay calm, throw strikes, and win.

  182. Bird is back. Two run HR 3/4 up right center field bleachers after Judge rbi triple for 3-1 Yankee lead after 2.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Pineda so far so good again tonight. He is fun to watch when he pitches like this.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Hicks with another HR. Puts Yanks up 4-1 in 5th.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Pineda with seven very strong solid innings and leaves game leading 4-2 after seven.

    ReplyDelete
  186. Romine 2 run double in 8th with bases loaded when it counts puts Yankees up 6-2, ices game and still batting. Torreyes follows with a double to make it 8-2.

    ReplyDelete
  187. Mitchell has a sloppy 9th inning, but closes it out as Yankees win 9-3.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Another series sweep. Playing pretty good right now. White Sox in town for three night games starting tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  189. Jordan Montgomery gets the start against the White Sox tonight.

  190. If Bird is back and productive the way we hoped for that is a major plus. But Girardi has been simply brilliant putting the lineup together each day considering all the roadblocks he has encountered.

  191. I love the makeup of this team. An infusion of young quality talent tends to make a team better, particularly when there are several at one time. It seems to push the others on the team to play a little harder and more enthusiasm. Very much WIN METHOD.

    ReplyDelete
  192. Looking for Montgomery to take another step forward, produce, gain confidence, and become a weapon.

    ReplyDelete
  193. There are more weapons in the pipeline.

  194. Has anyone noticed, with our starters getting into the 7th inning each start, the bullpen stay much stronger than ever.
