Hello WIN METHOD fans. This season, as so many youngsters bloom and grow, has had far too many downs. To be contending for the division title with all the injuries our players and team have sustained is remarkable and displays the character of our players and team. We will overcome no matter what is thrown at us.
The 2017 disabled list (DL) has included Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Tyler Austin, Starlin Castro, Didi Gregorius, Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt Holiday, CC Sabathia, Adam Warren, Aroldis Chapman, James Kaprielian, Gleyber Torres, Clarke Schmidt, and Dustin Fowler. Several of these players have had their season ended. For a few of these men recovery will take many months and they can only look forward to 2018. The others can still contribute this season. I just want to give a special shout out to Dustin Fowler whose injury may be the most devastating. I have had a special liking for Dustin for a long time now and I will pray for his healing, full recovery, and return to the YANKEES in 2018.
It is truly hard to believe, that with all the injuries, this team is still right in the thick of the pennant race. The character of these WIN METHOD players is their crutch, the attitude they display when challenged with adversity is magnificent.
They play with one goal, for the TEAM to WIN. Everyone contributes, and they win or lose as a team. The goal is always the playoffs and beyond, in the past, now, and in the future. These WIN METHOD men will fight to the end.
With every setback, the door of opportunity opens for another player. Hopefully another youngster will race through the door and seize the chance before they expected.
As WIN METHOD fans, unquestionably the smartest and most knowledgeable baseball fans in the world, we support or team, ownership, management, players, and coaches. We don't whine and cry, and we don't criticize and blame.
We leave that to, yes you guessed it, the stat fraud losers of the world.
There is most of the season left to play and we will persevere, playing the best we can. We will continue to bloom and grow. The draft was wonderful and the WIN METHOD got what it wanted in several draftees. Our number one selection will be something to look forward to. LETS GO YANKEES.

«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2200 of 2379 Newer› Newest»Can we take three straight from the Indians. Why not. Lets go Yankees.
Tomorrows game 3 is scheduled at 7:30PM. Tanaka starts and I hope Yanks win so Louie Louie can get another start to make amends for wild card game.
Girardi today has taken full blame for not challenging HBP miscall last night that cost Yankees the game and a 1-1 tie of the series.
I guess it has to be Girardi's fault. He has the final say and all he had to do is ask for the replay. I think call is overturned and the inning is over on the foul tip K.
People like to throw around the term "must win" in referring to certain games over the course of a season, but tonights game for the Yankees is the first true must win game of the season.
Rain has the possibility of playing a part in tonight's game.
Sunday 10/8 7:30pm

Basically sticking with the same lineup. A Must win game or go home.
Lets go Yankees.
Here we go. Lets go Yankees.
0-0 after 2.
I believe that managers rarely if ever determine the result of games with their decisions because it is the performance of the players on the field that determine the score of each game. I think Girardi's failure to call for a replay in game 2 cost the Yankees the game. What is done is done, hopefully we earn the win tonight and get to play another game.
Scoreless through three.
Judge misplays ball into triple in 4th win one out.
Tanaka strikes out the next two batters and gets out of inning.
Vladimir Tinzak.. You are right. Girardi erred big time and that is an extremely rare instance when someone not in the game cost his team the game.
0-0 after 4.
Pitchers duel thru five. 0-0. We have only one hit.
Judge makes leaping catch to take two run home run away from Lindor in sixth.
Yankee sixth, single, double play grounder, walk, single, walk, popup, = 0 runs. 0-0.
0-0 after 6.
Tanaka comes out to pitch the 7th.
Please God, help the Yankees win.
Bird leads off seventh with home run and 1-0 lead.
Bird is back. Oh yes. A Ballantine blast and a one run lead.
Yanks lead 1-0 after 7.
Robertson in for the 8th.
Robertson gets one out and then walks a batter. Girardi calls for Chapman.
Chapman closes the 8th with 2 K's. 3 more outs for another game.
Yanks up 1-0 after 8.
Here we go. Top of ninth and we need three more outs. Lets go Chapman, lets go Yankees.
Chapman has to work very hard but gets the save and a 1-0 Yankee win.
Final Yankees win the must win game 1-0 on Greg Bird home run and Aaron Judge two run saving home run take away catch.
Next game tomorrow night if not rained out.
Thank you God.
If anything has been proven by the Yankees this season is that they can play with any team and are as good as any team. Blooming and growing.
There's a heck of a lot of blooming and growing going on in the Bronx. This season isn't done yet, but just wait to next year.
In their last 16 innings the Yankees have scored just one run and that was enough to win their biggest game of the season so far. With one run in sixteen innings the team may be do for one of their solid multi run games. Louie Louie gets another chance this season.
Hopefully the rain moves out and we play tonight. Louie Louie gets a second chance to make a first impression. Yes we can.
Gus Papa, not just next year, but many years beyond.
Tonight's game is scheduled for 6:30PM. Lets go Yankees.
The only reliever not available tonight would be Chapman, unless it was maybe for just one batter. Everyone else is ready and all arms are on decks.
So Girardi doesn't call for a review of the HBP. A mistake, no question. But he did not load the bases and then give up the grand slam. You win as a team, you lose as a team. Move on and move forward.
Francona going with Bauer tonight on three days rest..A managers decision, right or wrong. Wise move or desperate move.
CORRECTION......Tonight's game is a 7:00PM, pregame show is 6:30PM.
Deb F...He needs Kluber to start game five tomorrow. So it looks like desperation.
I can only hope we don't use Gray skies anymore.
With just one run in our last 16 innings we are do to have a big game. Lets hope Louie Louie comes up big and the lineup produces.

5. Greg Bird (L) 1B
6. Starlin Castro (R) 2B
7. Chase Headley (S) DH
8. Todd Frazier (R) 3B
9. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
Same guys with slight change in order. Total L/R. Another must win.
Would think and hope Bauer on just 3 days rest comes up a little flat on his big curve and some bats connect when it counts.
Lets go Yankees. Timely hitting when it matters carries the day.
Time to get even.
Frazier and Hicks each with two out RBI hits and Judge 2 RBI double when it matters gives Yankees early 4-0 lead and knock Bauer out of game.
Louie Louie sat a long time, but needs to come out with a shut down inning.
Yanks up 4-0 after 2.
Louie Louie with a very quick 1,2,3 inning.
Yanks up 5-2 after 4.
Indians nibbling their way back and cut lead to 5-3 mid fifth. We need runs.
Five complete 6-3 Yankees.
Sanchez solo HR in 6th. 7-3 Yankees.
Yanks up 7-3 after 6.
Redemption for Louie Louie. Seven complete and leads by four runs.
Betances in for the 8th with a 4 run lead. Wild, wild, wild to first batter walking him. Immediate action in the bullpen. When you can't pitch without pressure you have major problems. Rothchild out to talk to him. Walks second batter on four pitches nowhere close to the plate. Betances booed off the field. Kahnle in and in a hole created by Betances.
Kahnle Ks first batter on 3 pitches. Pop fly to short right for second out on 2 pitches. Ks third batter on 3 pitches. Inning over. Betances embarrassed to no end.
Yanks up 7-3 after 8.
7-3 into the 9th. 3 more outs and we play again, another must win or go home game against a team that won over 100 games this season.
Kahnle stays in for the ninth.
Kahnle with a perfect 9th. 3 up 3 down. 3 Ks.
Final 7-3 win and we go to Cleveland for the series deciding game. What a great season. What a learning and development experience for the kids.
Day off tomorrow fans. Enjoy the day. Wednesday another game for the series.
CC will start the series deciding game in Cleveland tomorrow. Thank God it is not Gray skies.
This season gives me a lot of hope for the future, regardless of what happens tomorrow. The aura around the past few days in the Bronx was hungry, aggressive, youthful energy, with a whole lot of blooming and growing going on. Combined that with actual talent now here and those on the the horizon capable of dominating, and we could be on the verge of something special for a long time.
A thought on baseball and the season. Over a 162 game season there is no question that the teams who make the playoffs are the best in baseball over the 162 games.
HOWEVER, the teams that won over 100 games are not necessarily better than the teams who won less than 100 games. This can be true for several reasons. One, the uneven schedules each team plays. Two, the quality of each league. Three, the development of any team over the season and/or the falling off of any team over the season.
SECOND HOWEVER, the best team wins in the end.
Let me cover some recent brilliant post by several posters here.

Cory, the resident wins and common sense guy. Yes, the best win no matter what the stat frauds believe.
Gosh! We are flying high and have a day off and we get some of the most intelligent baseball talk that others can't fathom and can only dream about. Greatest sports blog/forum in the world. Yes, the world.
Lets hear a "Lets go Yankees" from our posters from all over the world. Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
Hear hear. Lets go Yankees.
Love this love for the Yankees.
Lets go Yankees. First time poster, long time Yankee fan.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
If Judge ever learned to swing the bat like Derek Jeter he could be a devastating player. Outside pitches drive to right field and inside pitches pull to left. Just learn more bat control and know what to do with each pitch.
Appreciate this post. Will try it out.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees. I am on board.
Lets go Yankees.
My best to the Yankees and all the posters here. Lets go Yankees.
Just think, if the Yankees win tomorrow night and move on to the ALCS they have another 100 win team waiting for them. A team that will be well rested, healthy, the ready to go.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees!
Patiently waiting for another game. Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees.
Lets go Yankees
Thank you all for your great support. You are the best baseball fans in the world. Best of all, you know baseball and you know the best.
Lets go Yankees.
Cloudy and showers in Cleveland today. Third must win game in a row.
Lets go Yankees.
Can CC give us another great game tonight. Can our lineup score a bunch of runs tonight. Oh yes they can. Lets go Yankees.
Prediction::::::If CC gives us five shutout innings tonight we win the game.
No matter, win or lose tonight, we extended the Tribe to their limits. The Yankees can play with and beat anyone.
Logo, os seus lucros vão aumentar especialmente.
Hi WIN METHOD. Love ya,
Lets go Yankees.
Tonight's game is now listed for an 8:00 PM start. Lets go Yankees.
Slowly we wait. s l o w l y
A win tonight means the Yankees would get to play at minimum four more games this season.
I'm sure Girardi will stick with the same guys in about the same order tonight. We just need the bats to be alive with the sound of hits when in matters.

One more time. Lets do it guys. Yes you can. Lets go Yankees.
Instructions....pitch away go away....pitch in pull it hard....swing at strikes....take balls.
LETS GO YANKEES
Lets go Yankees. Yes you can. Bloom and grow.
Hey hey what do you say,
Lets win our game today.
Gloria LaCorte,
Okay okay.
Time to shine. Lets go Yankees.
Gregorius home run nets Yankees first inning run.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Didi two run home run puts Yankees up 3-0 in 3rd.
Yanks up 3-0 after 4.
After 4 brilliant innings CC cracks in 5th giving up 2 runs and 2 men on with 1 out. Robertson comes in to relieve CC and gets big DP grounder when it matters to end inning with Yanks up 3-2.
Yankee lead cut to 3-2 after five. Battle of the bullpens now.
Lets go Yankees.
Robertson with a 1,2,3 6th.
Yanks up 3-2 after 6.
We could really use a couple of runs.
Robertson closes out the 7th. Yanks clinging to 3-2 lead with 2 innings to play.
Yanks go down in 8th.
Nerve racking.
Girardi brings Chapman in for the eighth. Needs six outs.
One out, five more to go.
Two out, four more to go.
Three out, three more to go. How about insurance runs.
Lets go Yankees. Yes you can.
Yanks up 3-2 after 8.
Gardner BIG two out WHEN IT MATTERS MOST, RBI single and another run scores as Indians get sloppy. Yanks lead 5-2. We got insurance runs for Chapman.
Yanks take 5-2 lead and still up in 9th.
Yanks up 5-2 with Indians coming up for hopefully last time of season.
Chapman walks first batter. One out looking K. Two out ground force out. Three out looking K. We won.
Final 5-2 win. Theeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnn.
Yes we can and we did.
Can we do it again. Why not?
WIN METHOD is the best in the world. No one knows what WIN METHOD knows.
Now to face another 100 win team that is rested and raring to go.
CC, Didi, Robertson, Gardner, Chapman. And all their team mates, great game guys. You did it .
Celebrate, one day off, and at least another four games.
A big thumbs down to our Yankee WIN METHOD team.
You all here, from all over the world. You believed and never gave up. You all know baseball better than anyone. You know wins and only wins determine who is best. WIN METHOD fans, yes you can and you did. Thank you all for all your posts and the season isn't over yet.
WIN METHOD, we are blooming and growing because of you.
I am so very proud of my Yankee team. Thank you for all you do.
The day after. A day of jubilance and exhilaration. Tomorrow back to work. Great job Yankees.
Now Joe G has to come up with a rotation. Hopefully Gray skies helps the team somewhere along the line.
We continue to bloom and grow. And thank you WIN METHOD.
Goal, win the next series. Lets go Yankees.
Whoever Girardi selects as his rotation, the stat frauds will have every opinion possible to say how wrong he is. And they will espouse their opinions with absolutely no knowledge regarding the players and no knowledge about winning baseball.
How nice it is to play for another week. What fun and what a ride this season is, and it is going.
All I can say is Lets go Yankees.
Yankees named starters for first three games of the ALCS.
Tanaka
Louie Louie
CC
That is exactly how I would have gone with.
That leaves anyone else Joe wants for game four and then if needed Tanaka, Louie Louie, and CC for the final three games, again if needed.
I agree, that is the strongest lineup rotation we have.
If the hitters put up significant runs that will help the pitchers. Everyone makes a team with their contributions.
One game at a time as a team. Yes we can. To be the best of the best you must win on the field, stat fraud paper stats are utterly and totally meaningless.
This is really interesting, You are a very skilled blogger.
I have joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your fantastic post.
Also, I have shared your site in my social networks!
Back in action tonight. Houston. Game time 8:00 PM. Lets go Yankees.
I hope Judge starts to make contact and helps with his bat this series.
CC the older veteran, Tanaka the younger experienced veteran, Louie Louie the young gun.
Lets go Yankees.
The Yankees face a left handed starter for the first time in the playoffs this season. If Gardner, Bird, and Gregorius stay in and start, they are three lefty bats. Then Judge, Sanchez, Frazier, Castro, all start as four righty bats. Hicks starts as the switch hitter makes for a righty bat. Use Holiday as the DH and you have six right handed bats starting.
will-i-am, that would make Holiday the only change and a logical one.
Look at things this way. It's another series and just have to win it.

Good job will-i-am.
Lets go guys, yes you can, yes you will. Lets go Yankees.
It is the same story, produce when it matters, offensively, defensively, hitters, pitchers, and fielders. Lets win another series, just need four wins.
Over and over, play as a team and win or lose as a team. Everyone contributes.
Go do it Yankees.
LETS GO YANKEES
No score after two innings.
Yanks go down 2-0 after 4 as Astros produce 2 RBI singles when it counts.
Judge big when it counts two out single with men on 1st and 2nd, but Bird thrown out at home to end inning. Astros make defensive play when it counts on their end.
Yankees trail 2-0 after 6. Lets get some runs and take the lead and the game.
Green comes for the 7th and goes 1,2,3. Yanks still down 2-0 after 7. We have two more innings to come back.
We threaten but don't score in 8th.
One more chance in the ninth.
Down 2-0, top of 9th. Castro, Hicks, Bird coming up. Here we go.
Castro strikes out. One out.
Hicks strikes out. Two out.
Bird home run. Down 2-1.
Ellsbury strikes out.
A tough 2-1 loss, but a very good game to watch. Never the less, a loss.
Final 2-1 loss. Yes another one run loss. This Yankee team can play with anyone and this team is as good as anyone.
Also, Yankees extended Astro closer Giles and he should not be available tomorrow. We have Louie Louie starting and a full bullpen.
Love this team. Win or lose. Blooming and growing.
Lets get it done tomorrow guys and lets go home even.
Tonights game and loss will be fertilizer for the young bloom and grow crop. It will taught to every player.
Good article! We will be linking to this great
content on our website. Keep up the great writing.
Lets forget yesterday. Learn from the one defeat. Move on. Today is another game. Let win and even the series.
We were beaten by one run last night by a great pitcher on a great team. We are a great team with great pitching. Even the series today. Lets go Yankees.
Louie Louie to the rescue. Lets score some runs again.
Here is something interesting on two aspects. How stats are manipulated and how bad home plate umpires are.
MLB says umpires get ball/strike calls correct 97% of the time. Independent Pitch/Fx research shows it’s actually 88%. But if you take away the obvious calls (right down the middle or way way out of the zone) and focus on pitches within 2 inches of the plate, either way, accuracy was only 68.3%. That means on close pitches umpires were making the wrong call 31.7% of the time.
Any 12 year old would be as accurate.
Including the Wild Card game, the Yankees have played in 4 elimination/win or go home games and have come out on top in all of them. Very proud of the way these guys have handled that kind of pressure.
We are one of the best teams in all of baseball and have just started to bloom and grow.
Cory> I think the problem with the home plate umpire is that they do not stand directly behind home plate but stand at an angle to it. It makes no difference where the catcher sets up or where the catcher catches the ball. The pitch is a ball or strike only depending if it crosses the plate or not and at the proper height depending on each batter. Umpires standing at an angle has to give a very poor perspective of a pitch.
I think that is how umpires are taught and it is patently wrong, but MLB does so much wrong.
Cory & Nathan Riley....when I was a kid the umpire stood directly behind the center of the plate and they wore the big outside chest protector. Somebody changed where they stand and it hasn't worked out for the good. Change is not always better. When you consider the home plate umps today miss a third of their calls, that is pathetic.

Lets win today guys. Let go Yankees.
Eventually a device of some kind will call balls and strikes.
Time to get even. Lets go Yankees.
0-0 after 2.
Yanks down 1-0 after 4.
Houston ballpark is one heck of a piece of garbage. Popups hitting rafters and are considered null and void. Ball off the left centerfield fence and it justs stays stuck on it.
