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.
Lets hope for the best and the recovery for all the injured. Thanks WIN METHOD.
ReplyDeleteStay strong and believe Dustin.
ReplyDeleteLets go guys, yes you can and yes you will.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you WIN METHOD.
ReplyDeleteDustin, stay strong mentally and then get strong physically.
ReplyDeleteLets go Yankees.
ReplyDeleteGet well Dustin. Yes you can and will.
ReplyDeletePineda tonight. Hope he screws his on straight tonight.
ReplyDeleteMy best to Fowler and all the other ailing Yankees.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any other team in the history of baseball has had these many injuries to so many players in one season.
ReplyDeleteFowler is in good spirits. He said he was told surgery was a success and he would be out about 5 to 6 months.
ReplyDeleteGood news from the horses mouth.

ReplyDeleteAndujar back on Yankee 25 man roster and is in Houston.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees trail 1-0 after two innings of play.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 3-1 after 5.
ReplyDeleteYankees score five two out runs in 6th and four two out runs in 7th on Gardner grand slam to take 10-3 lead over Astros. Pineda went six acceptable innings. Mitchell in for a 1,2, 3 7th. 10-3 Yanks after 7.
ReplyDelete10-3 Yankees thru 7.
ReplyDeleteMitchell closes out win with solid three innings. Yanks win 13-4.
ReplyDeleteFinal...Yanks win big 13-4.
ReplyDeleteBig win tonite against the team with the best record in baseball for the first half of this season so far.
ReplyDeleteCan only hope last night was not a one game wonder, but that it was the start of a good run of winning baseball.
ReplyDeleteMonty tonight. At least we are not playing from behind this series. Lets win it.
ReplyDeleteNice blog post WIN METHOD. You sure have built a juggernaut of a farm system. Hope everything blooms and grows and comes to fruition.
ReplyDeleteFrazier also has been called up from AAA Scranton.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees can't keep everyone on the 25 man roster. Eventually Castro, Holiday, etc will get back.
ReplyDeleteTodd, true, but all our talent gives management options plus it fosters competition for playing time, thus hopefully driving performance. Performance when it counts is needed before individual stats is the key. Performance when it counts creates wins.
ReplyDeletePitchers usually take more time yo bloom and grow. Montgomery has reached the top level, bot he is still learning and developing. So far so good. Earn a win tonight Monty.

Another first timer for Yankees today. In right field Clint Frazier as Judge gets day off.
I'd almost rather see Judge at 1b even thou he has never played there. Still, he does need day off once in a while.
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets their chance to contribute. That is what team is about. The stat frauds have no idea about that.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 2.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 4.
ReplyDeleteYanks fall behind 2-0 after 5.
ReplyDeleteYanks score five times in top of sixth, four on Gregorius grand slam for 5-2 lead.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 5-3 after 6.
ReplyDeleteFrazier leads off 7th with his MLB HR. WIN METHOD must be in seventh heaven.
ReplyDeleteAfter Chad Green pitches the 6th and 7th scoreless innings. In comes Betances for the 8th and stinks beyond belief. Chapman now in with men on 1st and 3rd and 2 outs. Betances has already allowed 2 runs to cut the Yankee lead to 6-5 and both runners are his responsibility.
ReplyDeleteChapman gives up a double and Yanks down 7-6. Betances and Chapman have killed the Yankees so far this season. The a K for 3rd out after the damage done.
ReplyDeleteYankees go down 1.2.3 by Houston closer. Another dreadful one run heartbreaking loss.
ReplyDeleteFinal, devastating loss 7-6.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe that Betances and Chapman can choke so often. Betances still can't hold a runner and a runner in a wheel chair can steal a base every time on him.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the losing this way was over. Losing late inning games because of the bullpen is killing us.
ReplyDeleteTen one run losses in June. Take two meaningless runs from several of our blowout wins and give them to just five of those ten losses and look where we would be in the standings. Meaningless runs defines the meaningless stat frauds. Wins are what counts, not how many runs you win by or your meaningless run differential. Come on you clueless stat frauds and debate here where you won't get banned instead of banning posters who know baseball at your clueless feckless forums.
ReplyDeleteLouie Louie starts today to try to win a series we should have already won.
ReplyDeleteSteve......the stat frauds won't debate here because their lies and deceptions won't pass the smell test. Their combined ignorance is second to very little.

Mark my words. The worm will turn and this team will make a major impact on the AL East division.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, I don't bother going to the stat fraud forums anymore. Most have failed or failing anyways. Those dolts are brain dead fools.
ReplyDeleteYankees down 5-0 thru 5. Astro starter threw 105 in 4 innings and we did not score.
ReplyDeleteFinal. Loss 8-1.
ReplyDeleteI see the stat frauds are overjoyed with Carter delivering a big ninth inning RBI single. The hit was really big in their eyes because it prevented the Yankees from being shutout for the first time this season.
ReplyDeleteHave we hit bottom yet? We do need to hit bottom before we can rise back to the top.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many roster changes, lineup changes, injuries, etc, there has been no cohesion among the players. Maybe all this will work its way out.
ReplyDeleteJust about the half way mark for the 2017 season. Three consecutive 10 games losing stretches. Now in second place in division. Need to play better and more consistent better baseball in the second half of the season. The injuries have been devastating.
ReplyDelete10. 6-4
20. 7-3 = 13-7

Yes WIN METHOD fans, Carter is in the lineup yet again. I know we let the manager manage and accept he knows more than any of us. Buttttttttttttttttttttttt!!
Guy, there has to be a reason we are not factoring into Girardi's reasoning.
ReplyDeleteWe just have to start winning games. That usually stops bad thoughts dead.
ReplyDeleteTime for a win, the first of many.
ReplyDeleteYanks get on board first with two first inning runs.
ReplyDeleteYanks lead 2-0 after four, but have had several opportunities and failed, keeping Jays in game.
ReplyDeleteYankees up 2-1 mid 7th as Sanchez give Toronto run on throwing error. Now it will be up to the bullpen.
ReplyDeleteYanks 2-1 thru 7. Betances in for the 8th.
ReplyDeleteBetances gets through the eighth. Would be nice to get a couple of extra runs.
ReplyDeleteAnother nail biter.
ReplyDeleteHeadley bases loaded double breaks game open in 8th as Yanks score 4 runs for a 6-1 lead. Carter ends another inning in this game with a ground ball double play.
ReplyDeleteChapman working hard to blow this game also. Score now 6-3. Just got a K for 2nd out, one man on.
ReplyDeleteChapman gets third out, saved by Headley diving catch on very hard hit line drive. Yanks win 6-3.
ReplyDeleteFinal, a 6-3 win. thank god for those runs in the 8th or Chapman would have blown another game.
ReplyDeleteEvery game is a struggle, but at least this one was a win.
ReplyDeleteNow to add a win tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCC is off the DL today and starts today's Independence Day game. He was sharp as a tack and winning when he got injured. Hope he comes back today the same.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th everyone. God bless America.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th. Lets win.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees last night only had to bat in 8 innings making 24 outs and Chris Carter was responsible for 6 of those outs. One batter of nine, 1/9th, responsible for 1/4 of the outs.
ReplyDeleteCarter likely will be on bench today..

Carter still playing. Surprised he isn't batting cleanup. He could be more devastating there.
Carter is devastating no matter where he bats in the lineup, sadly most of the time it is devastating to his team.
ReplyDeleteHappy July 4th Yankee fans.
ReplyDelete0-0 after 4.
After getting 8 straight outs to start the game, CC can't get the last out in the 3rd and gives up 4 runs. Yanks trail 4-0 after 3.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 4-1 after 6.
ReplyDeleteFinal 4-1 loss. Yanks go down without a whimper.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, just maybe if Chris Carter who imitates afraud were chucked this team could put a real player in the lineup and win a little more.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we are marching in place.
ReplyDeleteStill half the season to go. No reason to give up yet. Things change very quickly.
ReplyDeleteA win tomorrow would give us our first series in a month.

Out with the broken fan and in with a working air conditioner. A left handed lineup for the first time this season.
Yankees down 1-0 after one.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 1-0 after 2.
ReplyDeletePineda getting pummeled and being replace down 5-0 in the 4th with no outs.
ReplyDeleteChoi brings joy with 2 run HR in 5th to cut Toronto lead to 5-4.
ReplyDeleteLOL...out with the broken fan.
ReplyDeleteSanchez with bases loaded and one out in 5th, fails when it counts and pops up. Didi up with bags full and 2 out. Didi produces when it counts with a 2 run double and a 6-5 Yankee lead.
ReplyDelete6-5 Yankees thru five after trailing 5-0.
ReplyDeleteYanks up 6-5 after 6.
ReplyDeleteBetances in for the 8th and has to be relieved after 1 K and 4 W's giving up the lead and leaving bases full with one out. Betances is becoming another Carter. Totally useless.
ReplyDeleteWarren in with bases loaded and one out gets K for 2nd out. Big WHEN it counts clutch pitching. Yanks only down one coming to bat in 8th.
ReplyDeleteYanks down 7-6 after 8.
ReplyDeleteIf Yanks come back in 9th they will have to do it against a real closer in the Jays Osuna.
ReplyDeleteFinal...another one run loss 7-6.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting fact comparing Jays reliever Osuna and pathetic Betances. Osuna in over 30+ games the entire season has only walked 3 batters. Pathetic Betances walked 4 in 5 batters to blow today's game for his team. He has also walked 1 of every 3 batters he has face for the entire season. PATHETIC.
ReplyDeleteWell we lost another series.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nightmare we are going through.
ReplyDeleteWould like to thank the posters here for their respectful posts during this Yankee skid. Only one post was deleted in the past several weeks and it was by a stat fraud who used many expletives attacking the WIN METHOD and the posters here.
ReplyDeletebigbadwolf...I bet it hasn't been easy for some. It is uncanny what his happening for the past month. Hope it turns out to be a movie script where everything turns out for the good at the end.
ReplyDeleteOne small step, if the Yankees never ever in out life time allow Chris Carter to be put on the MLB roster.
ReplyDeleteGood news, Betances can't blow another game today.
ReplyDeletePossible Holiday back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOne more chance to take a series before the all star break. Monty, Tanka, and Louie Louie are the listed starters.
ReplyDeleteSweep the first place Brewers.
ReplyDeleteYes we can.
ReplyDeleteI can almost guarantee if the Yankees sweep this series with the Brewers they will surely win the AL East this year.
ReplyDeleteSWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
ReplyDeleteYes, stay positive people. Yes we can.

Girardi did a little tinkering with Judge and Sanchez at 3 and 4 holes.
Time to rise and shine guys. Step up.
ReplyDeleteWe are do to put things together, and when that happens look out at the top.
ReplyDeleteYanks score first and lead 1-0 thru two.
ReplyDeleteChoi produces when it counts with 2 run HR in fourth to give Yankees 3-2 lead and still batting and now in a rain delay.
ReplyDeleteBack in action. 3-2 Yanks after 4.
ReplyDelete4-4 after 6.
ReplyDeleteYankee bullpen in 7th, 3 walks, grand slam, double, rbi single, walk, putting Yanks down 9-4.
ReplyDeleteThe bullpen has been sucking eggs for a month now.
Yankees down 9-4 after 8 and I ain't staying for the 9th. I am getting frustrated.

Still no Holiday, probably keep him out until after the break, along with Castro and Hicks. Frazier, to me, gives the impression he is flailing at the plate, but he is young yet.
Louie Louie gives up first inning 3 run HR. Yanks down 3-0 after first.
ReplyDeleteYankees down 3-0 thru four and are hitless.
ReplyDeleteYanks get 2 in 7th, trail 3-2 after 7 and on track for another 1 run loss.
ReplyDeleteYanks rally in 9th for 3 runs on a 3 run walk off home run by rookie Clint Frazier.
ReplyDeleteFinal a walk off HR for a 5-3 win.
ReplyDeleteMaybe maybe, just maybe the stinking worm is turning.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Betances and Chapman pitched scoreless 8th and 9th innings.
ReplyDeleteJust have to win tomorrow and go from there as the injured return after the All Star game.
ReplyDeleteFirst series after the break is in Boston for four games. This could be "really huge" series and I hope it turns our way.
ReplyDeleteI remember several years ago the Yanks going into Boston and trouncing the sux mercilessly taking four games. Redux?
ReplyDeleteLets finally win a series tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTanaka this afternoon to try to win a series in a month.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Frazier walk off puts a charge into this team. Yes we can.
ReplyDeleteI just hope we see more and more of the youngsters gaining confidence and having productive at bats creating wins.
ReplyDeleteLouie Louie had one pitch cost him and the Yankees three runs and then he shut down the Brewers for the next six innings. Betances and Chapman pitched scoreless innings keeping the Yankee chances viable. The bats awoke in the last three innings led by rookie Clint Fraziers triple and home run for four of the Yankee five RBIs and making for the win. Teams win guys with players producing at key times to create those wins. Baseball is all about WINS.
ReplyDeleteOnly in the small minds of some stat frauds the Yankees are rebuilding. No frauds, we are playing to win it all this year and yes we can.
ReplyDeleteLets go Yankees.

Six left handed bats today.
Tanaka like Louie Louie did yesterday puts Yankees in 3-0 hole in first inning giving up a 3 run HR.
ReplyDeleteYankees down 4-0 after 2.
ReplyDeleteFrazier 2 run HR cuts Brewer lead to 4-3 after 4.
ReplyDeleteTanaka immediately gives up run in 5th and is saved further disaster by Warren getting final 2 outs of inning with 2 men on. Yanks down 5-3 mid 5th.
ReplyDeleteThe official language of Saint Barthélemy is French.
ReplyDeleteYanks still down 5-3 after 8....Had a man on second with no outs twice this game and never scored them. Too many times when you play for the big inning you get burnt. Scoring one run at a time can lead to a bigger inning or keep you in the game. One run is usually better than 0 runs.
ReplyDeleteFinal 5-3 loss and Yanks go 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position. The ultimate fail when it matters most. A sure way to make for losses.
ReplyDeleteAnother series lost. Better be ready for next weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis has really been a sad stretch of games.
ReplyDeleteI fully expect a rousing run after the All Star game.
ReplyDeleteI think Judge swings and misses at far too many pitches.
ReplyDeleteLori, I agree. I would he could do better if he didn't swing so hard and just hit the outside pitches to right. When the pitchers come in on him, then pull the ball. It doesn't make any difference how hard you hit the ball nor how many home runs you hit. It is far more important to any and all players to be able to produce the most often when it matters most to the team and win games. Yes, I know the stat frauds are unable and or unwilling to understand this concept.
ReplyDeleteMid season break. The Yankees have four days to pull their act together if they want to win their division and or make the playoffs this season.
ReplyDeleteTonight is the farce called the HR Derby. The stat frauds will all be agog measuring how far, velocity, launch angle, how many balls are hit for home runs in a meaningless contest. None of which tells how much any of the participants help their team to win games by producing when it counts.
All things considered we're really not all that bad off. Only two games behind Bos in the loss column for 1st. Considering all of our injuries which have decimated the lineup, and some of our horrible pitching, we are not in a bad position at all.
ReplyDeleteIf what we've just seen is the Yankees without several key players, then I think we have a bright immediate future when we include Hicks, Castro and Holiday. Those are three very important bats.
And now that Choi is an instant replacement for Carter, I like our chances.
Yes guys and gals, it is only wins that determine the best. Anything else is camouflage and or hype.
ReplyDeleteWhat the all star break means to me...a four day sabbatical from baseball.
ReplyDeleteThinking about this weekend series with the sux. Would love to win at least three of the four games.

AAA.....You forgot a bay against the righty unless we are only playing with 8.
ReplyDeleteJimmy, look again. And I am RLA.
ReplyDeleteFor information purposes.....Aaron Judge dominated and won the Home Run Derby tonight in Miami.
ReplyDeleteJudge was awesome.
ReplyDeleteRLA, Your lineups are feasible. It still ALWAYS comes down to each individual producing when it matters.
ReplyDeleteWhen it counts, not how much nor how many. The only how many that matters is wins.
ReplyDeleteWith three weeks left to go until the trading deadline, we will see if the Yankees make any deals. They have so many top prospects in the minors at all levels, if they wish to deal any I hope they did their homework on who they will positively hold on to and who they may be willing to let go.
ReplyDeleteThe superior American League defeated the inferior national league again last night in the 2017 All Star game 2-1 in ten innings.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Yankees will sign Harper. The dollars that would have to be wasted on Harper who has shown he is unable to lead his team to great success would set a bad precedent in then having to sign the bloom and grow youngsters developing in the system.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Yankees don't sign Harper. We have less expensive home grown winners blooming and growing.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason to pay anyone the money some of these individual stat guys are getting unless they take you to the playoffs and well beyond every year.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last day fans, Yankee baseball and the run to the finish line is back tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTime to produce when it counts and win games.
ReplyDeleteLets take the bull by the horns and win our division. Yes we can.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees have traded lefty reliever Tyler Wade to the Milwaukee Brewers for AAA first baseman Garret Cooper. Cooper is a power bat that is hitting for average and power in AAA.
ReplyDeleteYankees open four game series in Boston tonight. Sunday is a day night double header. Makeup of a rain out in April.
ReplyDeleteMonty listed to start tonight's game one.
ReplyDeleteA left hander at Fenway for us.
ReplyDeletePineda season done and also next season. Needs Tommy John surgery. That explains much. Greg Birds issue found, has been diagnosed with os trigonum inflammation. Possible surgery likely. That explains his problem. The os trigonum is an extra needless bone behind the ankle.
ReplyDeleteYankee weekend rotation Monty, Louie Louie, Mitchell, Tanaka.
ReplyDeleteTough luck for Pineda and the Yankees. Just hope the Yankees do not go after the dog Quintana. Pineda with a bad arm was 8-4 this season while the dog Quintana is 4-8 and has been a sub .500 pitcher for his career while being lauded by the stat frauds.
ReplyDeleteIf the Yanks don't make the playoffs this season I can't be down after all the injuries this team has had. Pineda out does give a rookie or two and opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIf Girardi can manage this team into the playoffs this season, it would be a giant feather in his cap and possibly rank him as the best manager in baseball.
ReplyDeleteBy chance will Chance Adams get a shot? or maybe someone else that isn't hurt?

ReplyDeleteThe Yankee season reminded me of this old Nat King Cole song called SMILE.
ReplyDeleteSmile 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
Thanks sid, I needed that.
