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 1401 – 1600 of 2379 Newer› Newest»Jack Gordon...they used to fill 50 to 60-70 thousand seat ballparks. Now they build smaller parks and charge a fortune for seats and concessions. Kids used to go to 20-30 games a season, now they may get to see 1 or 2. Baseball has fallen victim to greed.
A might be piece of good news for the Yankees. The Yankees were supposed to play the Rays in Tampa on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Tampa, but because of hurricane Irma the games will be played in New York at Citi Field in Queens. A somewhat home game for the Yankees.
Maybe the guys knowing they are coming back to NYC after the Texas series will be buoyed and wallop the Rangers.
Well, Citi Field is an upgrade from Tropicana Dome. But it still doesn't compare to the Stadium.
YankeeMike, I love Yankee Stadium. It is a great park to watch a ballgame. Great atmosphere.

Sanchez is back. Pretty solid heavy hitting lineup. Lets go Yankees. Wins.
Lets go Yankees.
Offense and defense lets produce when it counts.
Yankees up 5-3 after 3 but Tanaka struggling.
Tanaka comes up putrid and can't get anyone out in the fifth inning blowing a 5-0 lead and leaves after giving up 7 runs.
It's not good when one of your prime starters gets staked five early runs and he can't keep in you in the game. Yanks need to rally from two runs behind now.
Yanks down 7-5 after 6.
Down 7-5 after 6. We need a comeback.
Bullpen helps throw dirt on Yankee chances giving up 4 runs in 7th putting Yanks down 11-5.
Bang bang bang, goes the sound of the Yankees shooting themselves in the foot.
Yankees go down without a whimper 11-5.
Final:: A very poor 11-5 loss. Tanaka was awful, and overall, the lineup was awful.
Louie Louie tomorrow to hopefully get us even.
Our real ace Louie Louie goes today for a win.

Another solid lineup, but it makes no difference unless the players produce when it counts.
That is a great guide Cory. Quick and easy to find trends. Yankees are just 2 games over .500 for the last 40 games. That is not very good. Need to finish strong.
This game may be bigger than some people think. You don't want to lose when you have your best pitcher starting.
0-0 after 2.
0-0 after 4.
Yankees fall behind 1-0 after five. Louie Louie gives up his first hit of game with two out and a man on first in fifth and it's an RBI double. Yankee offense not doing anything yet.
Yanks down 1-0 after 6.
Since last nights run in the third inning the Yankees haven't scored a run in 12 consecutive innings.
Yanks go 3 up 3 down in 7th. Six more outs to DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Headley sac fly evens game at 1-1 thru 8.
1-1 after 8.
Ninth inning winning rally post. Castro leads off with single to right. Judge ground force out. Ellsbury single to right. Men on first and third, one out. Frazier HBP. Bases loaded one out. Austin RBI single to left, 2-1 Yankees, bases still leaded. Gardner pops out. Headley RBI walk, 3-1 Yankees, bases still loaded. Sanchez ground out. Yankees lead 3-1 with Rangers coming up on ninth.
When it counts for today's game. 3 for 8.
Gardner fails twice.
Sanchez fails twice.
Gregorius fails once.
Headley succeeds twice.
Austin succeeds once.
Chapman in to try to close it out.
Chapman looked like the old Chapman today. Ball was moving and he throws strikes. 3 up 3 down with 2 Ks and a dribble grounder. 3-1 win.
Final big 3-1 win. Louie Louie doesn't get the win but he was outstanding and kept the Yankees in the game until they scored.
We really needed this win and it looked like we weren't going to get it. If Chapman is truly back in the groove, that will be an enormous plus going forward.
Cory...Gardner's failures were the worst kind. Both times man on third and less than two outs where a decent fly out or ground out could score a run and he pops up to the infield both times.
Remember fans, using the when it counts tenet is dependent on situations, score, inning, etc. You really have to know the WIN METHOD to use it correctly. The stat frauds do not have the intelligence nor the fortitude to be able to do this.
If Monty gives us five innings and we are in front I will take that every time he starts.
We have to stop playing W/L/W/L/W/L. String several W's together. The Indians has 17 strung together.
Montgomery has never started against the Rangers, that may be an edge for him. Lets go Yankees.

Monty with an 8 run lead buries himself in the 4th and can't finish the inning.
Yanks up 9-3 after 4.
Yanks up 12-4 after 6.
Final, win 16-7.
That's two series in a row at crunch time. Way to go guys.
Back home for three away games. Sweet. CC starts first game against Rays.
So far so good. Now lets take another series and take another step forward.
Winning is easy when you score 16 runs. That doesn't happen to often. Would like to CC bounce back from his last start.
It is CC, Gray, & Garcia listed for the Ray series.

Yanks up 5-1 after four innings.
Yanks 5-1 thru six.
Bird was listed to start tonights game but had back stiffness and was taken out of starting lineup.
Yanks holding 5-1 lead after 8.
Final 5-1 win. Best news Chapman another 1,2,3 ninth inning close.
Sonny Gray tonight and it would be good to win tonight and win this series since Garcia is listed to start tomorrow.
Hal Jenks, I agree. Lets take this series tonight and go for a sweep tomorrow.
Nothing bad about scoring in one big inning, but I would like to see some add-on runs also.

Gardner only left handed bat in lineup as Torreyes in for Didi and Clint Frazier in for Ellsbury. Nice job by Girardi yet again.
Nice lineup leaving our bench Ellsbury, Bird, Didi, Austin, Romine, etc.
1-1 thru six. We need some runs.
Yanks down 2-1 after 8. Last at bat, score now or lose another one run game where the lineup did nothing.
The Yankee bats are completely asleep again. Go down haplessly 1,2,3 in 9th.
Final, 2-1 loss. Very poor performance from the lineup. Very good effort from Gray, but not good enough and he takes the loss.

Judge off as Clint Frazier plays rightfield today. Garcia may be the issue to deal with. If the lineup does not produce runs we do not win. Lineup has produced one run in last 15 innings.
Yanks lead 3-1 after 4.
Yanks on top 3-1 after 6. Garcia went a very solid 4 2/3. Green came on in the 5th to get final out and then K'd the side in the 6th.
Chapman struggling in eighth. One run in for Rays cuts lead to 3-2. Gets third out. Yanks still up after 8, but now only 3-2.
Up by one in the 9th, BUT we had three chances to score a run in the 8th and 9th with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs and failed every time. There is no excuse for that and all it does is put more pressure on the relief pitchers.
Chapman Ks the side in 9th for the save and a Yankee 3-2 win.
Final 3-2 squeaker win. Third series win in a row. Should have swept this series.
We are home for a long weekend series with the Orioles. Tanaka, Louie Louie, Monty, and CC current listed starters.
WINS rule! Always has always will.
Bloom and grow guys, bloom and grow. Lets see how far we can go in the playoffs when most of the talking heads and stat frauds did not think we had a chance to get there. Yes we can.
All our pitchers need to hone their skills, getting big outs when needed, limiting crooked number innings, and throwing strikes consistently. The lineup has to produce when it counts and put up several crooked number innings.

I would accept five singles with men in scoring position. It all comes down to performance when it counts.
Yankees score six times in first inning. Good start.
Sharon/NC, you got a nice big crooked number.
Yanks build lead to 9-1 after 4. Playoffs here we come.
13-2 thru six.
Final 13-5 drubbing of the O's.
Wins come easy when you put up big innings. Three big innings last night and one was extra big. Now to win tonight.

Regular outfield all in. Bird at 1B and Holiday DH. Frazier out and Headley at 3B. Great looking lineup again by Girardi.
Lets win again and move forward to the playoff goal and beyond.
Crooked numbers, put more on the board.
Louie Louie to build on his stature and confidence with top grade outings consistently.
2-2 after 2.
2-2 after 4.
Didi 2 run homer puts Yanks up 4-2 after 5.
Final 8-2 win. Louie Louie brilliant.
Yankees win 8-2. Louie Louie goes 8 innings 2 runs 3 hits and in command except for one pitch. Yanks up 2-0 in this four game series.
A nice win.
Monty to start tomorrow with a chance to win the series.
Things are looking good for the playoffs, but most everyone here knew that before the season started.
Keysearch gives you more ways to find related, niche
relevant keywords than any other software.
With Monty on an innings cap, if he can gives just 4 or 5 good innings the bullpen is ready to go.
Glad to see Bird connect last night albeit a meaningless HR. Man oh man if he could start producing when it counts it would be a big help to the lineup.
More consistency from anyone in the lineup on any giving day producing when it counts will mean more wins.

Yes WIN METHOD fans, the mentally challenged stat frauds are still attacking and demeaning Joe Girardi for his lineups, who he rests, and when he rests them. What fools these stat frauds be.
Steve, come on now, mentally challenged is being nice.
Scoreless thru two.
Yanks in command after six up 7-0.
Good: Didi three run home run. Better: Bird three run home run. Best: Monty six shutout innings.
Yanks win an easy 9-3 win as O's score 3 meaningless runs in 9th.
Final 9-3 win and a sure win of this series.
Yanks go for a four game series sweep tomorrow with CC starting.
Bird home runs in two consecutive games.
No question, Joe Girardi is one of the five best managers in baseball.
We have the opportunity for a four game sweep of this series today. I have my broom already to go.

Headley and Ellsbury day off. A Bird HR would make three games in a row.
The Yankees don't win or lose other teams games. The Yankees only win or lose their own.
To win players need to produce when it matters offensively to create runs. To win players need to produce defensively to prevent runs.
Deb F...Sonny Gray is starting todays game not CC.
Lets go Yankees.
Sonny skies for game time.
1-1 after 2.
Sonny Gray is no better a pitcher than Nova or Pineda were and likely no better than several of our minor leaguers. Gets hit hard, throw a lot of pitches. Never trade for another teams dump.
With Gray burying us we will need a big comeback to win today.
Yanks down 5-1 after 4.
Yanks down 6-3 after 6.
Yanks cut O's lead to 6-4 after 8. Gray buried us.
Yanks down 6-4 after 8.
O's walk Judge intentionally to pitch to Sanchez who is the winning run. Sanchez woefully K's. Yanks lose 6-4.
Final 6-4 loss all on Gray skies.
I wonder what the stat frauds would say if Girardi intentionally walked a batter in the 9th putting the tying run on base and allowing the winning run to come to bat?????
We would have had a better chance at winning today if Garcia started.
But the stat frauds love Sonny Gray.
Three games with the Twins starting tomorrow. Garcia, CC, Tanaka listed.
Lets take this series with the Twinkies. Just two weeks left in the season.
Lets win this series and keep the run going forward. WINS are the only stat that matters.
sid greenberg,nyc.....I also remembered your post of two months ago, who wonderful it is now.
"""""""""""" sid greenberg,nyc said...
The Yankee season reminded me of this old Nat King Cole song called SMILE.
Smile tho' your heart is aching
Smile even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
Thro' your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shin-ing thro' for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide ev-'ry trace of sadness
Altho' a tear may be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth-while
If you just smile

Surprised to see that no one in this community took a moment to honor the passing of Gene Michael, the prime architect of the Yankees dynasty of the late '90s. An excellent GM and scout. Much respect.
Win every game.
R.I.P. Stick, Gene Michael was a fine man in the right place at the right time. George Steinbrenners agreement with WIN METHOD was the reason for the Yankee success and has been for close to 25 years now. Gene Micheal signed who Mr. Steinbrenner told him to sign.
If there is anything anyone should have learned from this blog is that WIN METHOD was the silent inconspicuous guide to Yankee success for decades now. That's why we are here.
WIN METHOD fans, we are informed and intelligent. We are the supporters of WIN METHOD and all he has done. We have crossed 233 million views from every corner of the world. Facts belie those who do not want to believe that wins and winning are what determines the best.
R.I.P. Stick, I for one honor every player and front office people who have worn the Yankee uniform and represent the Yankee team. I find no reason to post every name every time a great passes. I prefer a silent prayer, but that is just me.
Teena/Bronx..nice post and sentiment.

Stanley Chin, I like your lineup better. Joe's is the only one that counts.
Hey R.I.P. Stick, What took you so long to post your thought on Gene Michael? Eleven days? It looks like it may not have been that important to you?
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Yanks up 1-0 after 4.
Garcia with an outstanding performance, goes 5 2/3 innings allowing one run (unearned). Leaves with a 1-1 score.
Good game so far, good effort from Garcia, 1-1 mid fifth, but we need to win.
Yanks up 2-1 after 6.
Betances come on for the 8th and stinks up the joint again, loading the bases with one out. Chapman is called in gets a K and fly out to keep the Yanks up 2-1 mid 8th.
Yanks up 2-1 after 8.
Chapman in for the 9th and a 5 out save.
Chapman with a dominant 1,2,3 9th and the save. Yankees win.
Final 2-1 win. Great start to this series.
That was a playoff type game tonight. Pitching great but for Betances. Gray should take a lesson or two from Garcia.
Garcia was brilliant last night. CC goes tonight.
Also, Chapman saved the game when he had to come in with the bases loaded and one out. He struck out Mauer on three pitches and got a fly out on the next pitch to end the inning and then pitched a perfect ninth for the save. Robertson also had a great 1 1/3 innings of middle relief.
Lets take this series tonight. Lets go Yankees.
Hello Yankeeclipper. I only discovered this blog after the passing of Mr. Michael and so that was my first post. Also, I am more broadly a fan of the sport than of the Yankees. It's also worth noting that Mr. Michael's term as GM began while Mr. Steinbrenner was temporarily barred from controlling team decisions by Commissioner Vincent.
Garcia is a free agent after this season. It looks like he want to show prospective employers what he is capable of doing. Hey, over his career he has been a better winner than Sonny Gray has been over his career.
R.I.P. Stick, Welcome, glad you have discovered the greatest Yankee/baseball blog in the world. Don't believe for a second that George Steinbrenner was never in full control of the Yankee decisions at any time. Keep posting and learn why the WIN METHOD is the greatest evaluation tool in baseball.
R.I.P. Stick, Just think, you learned something today. Mr. George Steinbrenner, was always in charge of the Yankees. He may no have been visible, but he was always in charge.
10. 6-4
20. 7-3 = 13-7
30. 8-2 = 21-9
40. 3-7 = 24-16

130. 5-5 = 70-60
140. 5-5 = 75-65
150. 8-2 = 83-67
A great ten game stretch of 8-2, out second of the season and almost guarantees a playoff spot for the Yankees. One more ten game stretch left plus two games. Lets finish strong.
Before the season started many frauds and talking heads had the Yankees just about a .500 team. What fools these unknowledgeable ingrates be.
Cory, I wonder if the stat frauds realize that your chart if done for every team will tell every fan in the world all they need to know on what and how it take to make the playoffs in baseball and be the best in the game.
Lets do it CC. Win this series with a gem.

Same lineup as last night. Hopefully it produces more runs than last night.
The difference last night was Chapman produced when it mattered most for the Yankees and thereby preventing the Twinkies from producing when it mattered most for them.
Lets go guys, take this series tonight.
Rain delay.
1-1 after 2.
Yanks up 3-2 after 4.
Yanks up 5-2 after 6.
Yanks up 5-2 after 8.
Good game with one more inning to go. CC six innings allowing two runs. Green shutout seventh. Robertson a perfect three strike out eighth. Chapman in to close out the ninth.
Chapman throws twelve pitches to get final three outs and the save.
Final 5-2 win. A few timely at bats when it mattered carries the day.
We are in the post season. Yes we did.
This is the 5th straight series we have won. Best run of the season. Try for the sweep tomorrow.
The Yankees will be playing for a sweep of the series with the Twins today and Joe Girardi is maneuvering his pitching rotation so Louie Louie will start todays game.
Hope Gray skies gets his act together. He has to do far better than his last outing where he buried the team.
I know the Yankees have Gray for 2018 and 19 and in 2020 he becomes free. I wonder what the Yankees could get for him or do the Yankees want to hang on to him. Someone mentioned earlier that he isn't any better than what we had in Nova and Pineda. Plus he may be hindering our minor leaguers? He has stuff, but he has not impressed me. Just have to believe the guys in control know best. Would love to see him become a solid consistent starter for us.

NJYANKEE....I like Girardi resetting his rotation. The man knows what he is doing.
WIN METHOD fans. We are BLOOMING AND GROWING.
Girardi using almost identical lineup for all three games. Opposing pitchers are all righties.
Louie Louie has a very rough 3rd inning throwing 46 pitches and giving up 3 runs putting Yanks down 3-0.
Judge 2 run HR followed by Sanchez solo HR tie game at 3 after 3.
Louie Louie doesn't come out for the fourth inning. Shreve in. Hope nothing is wrong.
In Louie Louie's 46 pitch inning Joe Mauer had a 13 pitch at bat, the longest of his career, and the 13 pitch at bat was the longest against the Yankees this season. One issue was that the home plate missed a called third strike on Mauer early in the at bat. Two replays showed very clearly the pitch was a strike.
Yanks with a 6 run 4th capped by a Gregorius 3 run HR take 9-3 lead after 4.
This is another opportunity to show how meaningless stats are. Louie Louie goes only 3 innings but however many runs the Yankees score will be added to his run support for each of his starts. What garbage individual stats are.
11-3 Yanks after 5. May be good game to use Betances.
Heller with shutout 7th. German with shutout 8th, and he really looked good. German stays in for 9th. German with a shutout 9th.
The Yankee bullpen pitched 6 scoreless innings and allowed just one hit.
