The YANKEES play their first spring training game of 2018 tomorrow. The players, the team, and the fans are looking forward to a very good season in 2018. The playoffs are a must, and then advancing far as they can through the playoffs is the goal. With hopefully getting to and winning the World Series the ultimate goal.
There are so many youngsters in this camp and in the YANKEE minor league system who are blooming and growing, each at their own rate. Many of which will help the YANKEES win games this season, next season, and in future seasons. Keep an eye out for Jhony Brito in the future. He could be special. And we all know success, greatness, and being the best can only be earned with wins and winning. WIN METHOD fans who have read and posted on this blog for almost a decade now already know this. You newcomers to this blog will learn real baseball here, not fantasy games, not with fake stats, and not with man made convoluted formulas that have no real value and are therefore meaningless. You can't be the best unless you win.
The YANKEE acquisition of Giancarlo Stanton, who has always wanted to be a YANKEE and who used his power to negate trades and to what team he would be traded to forced the Miami Marlins into trading him to the YANKEES. Stanton added to the lineup of Judge, Sanchez, Bird, Gregorius, and others will make for a very formidable offense.
The YANKEES have a couple of rookies looking to make their MLB debut this season with YANKEES. Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres at third base and second base will make their debuts at some point this season as they bloom and grow. Rookie pitchers Chance Adams and Justus Sheffield both may have an impact at some point this season for the YANKEES.
As the spring training games begin, lets all hope for a healthy injury free spring and much blooming and growing. LETS GO YANKEES!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 464 Newer› Newest»Lets see how Andujar bounces back from a bad game. I have little doubt he will be fine.
Yanks play Mets tomorrow with Cessa starting. 1 PM. On TV.
Cessa has been really used a lot. Is he being auditioned?
muchomachoman, maybe, I don't know how the Yanks can use him unless there are a couple of injuries to the top of the rotation.
Last year Tanaka had a great spring then got clobbered opening day. Maybe he will reverse it this spring since he got clobbered first outing last week.
Everyone needs to remember, and all you newcomers to the WIN METHOD blog, wins and winning are what determines the best players and teams. It is what you do for the team that is more important than what you do for yourself.

Cessa was listed but German is starting. Yankees but for a couple of players is using a lesser lineup to give Mets a chance.
9. Estevan Florial (L) CF
LOL at using few regulars to give Mets a chance today. Sad part is it is true.
Today's game is a roadie for the Yankees and very few big name regulars make these bus trips.
Weather has been gorgeous this year in Florida for everyone for training.
Florial drops fly ball in center giving Mets two unearned runs in third.
Trailing 4-1 going into the 8th Yankees score 6 times including a grand slam from McKinney to take 7-4 lead.
Yankee minor leaguers trounce Mets 10-4 adding 4 runs in 9th, 3 on a Trey Amburgey HR.
So much talent in the organization. Amazing work by WIN METHOD.
Louie Louie slated to make first spring start tomorrow in Tampa against the Phillies.
Victor Grandozi, no question. We are loaded.
Here is a quote from an article by Dan Blewett about spin rates in baseball.
"""Preoccupying pitchers with how hard they are throwing, how fast their slider is spinning, etc. is a TERRIBLE idea for pitchers who need to win games and get outs – the only thought in these situations is executing a good pitch."""
Bingo, pitchers need to win games.
With Yanks in Tampa tomorrow Louie Louie should be supported with big bats. But that could mean almost anyone in the organization.
Tomorrows game on MLBTV. 1PM
Gray only pitched once. CC and Tanaka once also. Monty is the only rotation guy who has pitched multiple times. These guys all must be hiding and working undercover.
Steve, just more garbage for the frauds to play with. It's real but it doesn't create wins or winning pitchers.
So many guys are playing winning baseball. It is crazy.
Steve and Hobbs, but it show which pitchers can get the most spin on the ball.

As the regular season draws closer we should see more and more of the regular pitchers and position players.
Good to see Andujar come down to earth. Now lets see how he moves forward.
If the guys stay away from injuries and get ready for opening day all will be good.
Louie Louie goes three sparkling scoreless innings.
Yankee bats pounding the Phillies today.
Sheffield and LeBlanc each give up 3 runs in relief blowing 5 run Yankee lead. Yanks down 7-6 mid 8th.
Yankees go down 7-6 and hopefully LeBlanc the blank has pitched himself out of consideration as a member of the Yankee staff.
Gray goes tomorrow night against Atlanta.
Likely our rotation will be used each game and build pitch count and relievers coming in every other day to get their time in also.
Time for people to step up their game.
The Yankees to a player seem to think they can win the WS this year.
Tonights game is a 6:30. mlb.tv
With Clint Frazier bumping his head and lack of playing time this spring he will surely be assigned to Scranton when Yankees break camp and head north.
Frazier keeps shooting himself in the foot. Still as much to prove in many areas. He will get a chance to make his case in Scranton.
By now Gray should be able to go a minimum of 3 innings, and looking for 4.

Yes sir, just another Boone lineup. Everyone is different.
First times I have seen use an opposite side dominant lineup used by Boone so far. Six lefty bats against a right hander.
Frazier needs to build his value in AAA to become a coveted trade chip if he is able.
Correction>>>>>>> no TV tonight
Gray goes 3 2/3 scoreless innings with one hit and two walks.
Yanks down 1-0 after 5.
Bird is having a bad camp. 0-3 tonight leaving 5 runners on and only hitting .100.
Yankees go down 3-1.
Cessa is listed tomorrow against the Mets.
White Knight, Bird came up a 4th time and K'd with 2 men on. For the night 0-4 with 7 left on base. 3 K's.

Everybody gets a look see from Boone. Losing a few games is a good sign.
The way Bird is swinging right now Lind sure looks like a nice pickup????
Cessa shows little and leaves after an inning and a third with bases loaded. Robertson make first spring appearance and strikes out both batters to bail out Cessa.
I hope Cessa doesn't make the 25 man roster. I don't trust his stuff as a starter or middle reliever, and certainly not as a late inning pitcher. He is better off in Scranton also.
7-2 Yankees thru six.
Final, Yanks trounce Mets again 10-3.
If anyone was watching today,you saw Wade roll over on his glove hand wrist. He was removed from game, but first reports are all is fine.
Yankees travel 400 miles to Miami to play Derek Jeter Florida Marlins qt 1:00PM.
I wonder how many and which starters will make the trip to Miami tomorrow...usually not many starters travel that far. But it is Jeters Miami team.
Tanaka listed as tomorrows starter for the Yankees in Miami.
Robertson came in with the bags full and one out and struck out the two men he faced. His stuff was impeccable.
Yankees switching pitchers for this afternoon in Miami. Monty instead of Tanaka.
The Yankee pitchers have been working behind the scenes, that is why we haven't seen them in spring games like in the past.
Maybe Boone doesn't know who was on the bus ride to Miami. No lineup yet and it's a hour to game time. Should be any minute now I would think.

Here we go. Looks like Boone brought the big guns in honor of Jeter. Stanton likely stayed in Tampa shagging fly balls in left field.
I guarantee you the only reason the big names made the trip to Miami was because of Jeter. You honor a Yankee, and Jeter being the greatest baseball player for 20 years from the mid 90's to retirement, and who will be a first ballot HOFer. Nice gesture by Boone and the Yankee organization.
Jeter is going to make the Marlins into a very good team within a very short time. He cleaned house and I bet he is installing a WIN METHOD philosophy, but he doesn't have WIN METHOD.
Yanks go down 7-5 to Marlins. Monty shaky and not a good outing. Wade Deblank pathetic again and needs to be given away to our competition.
will-i-am, Nice "Wade Deblank"
Tanaka now listed for tomorrow night game against the Twinkies.
Our pitchers need to get sharper and more in command these coming weeks. All need to get at least five innings or more for the start of the season.
It looks like all the overpaid FAs are signing deals this weekend. The best of all this, none were signed by the Yankees.
Yankee/Twins game will be on MLBTV tomorrow night 6:30PM.
No question spring training wins and losses have no real meaning, but they have some meaning. Ideally a team would like to have a .500 spring or very close to one. Playing under .400 ball, even in the training season is not a good sign.
18 days to opening game of the 2018 season for us in Toronto.
It will be a fun season for Yankee fans, especially fans who believe in wins and winning.
Looks like Yankees and Neil Walker have come to terms and Walker will be a Yankee. Likely that means Torres and Andujar will go to AAA and Drury will be at 3b with Walker at 2b to start the season.
Torres and Andujar will bloom and grow a little more in AAA, Torres likely needs the time there more than Andujar. They will still be powerful forces on the Yankees soon. It also gives the Yankees some trading blocks if the need arises.
When the opposing teams throw right handers at us to try to combat Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez, Walkers left handed bat should fair well at the Stadium.
For omw year deals I can hardly ever complain about who is signed. Too many players were getting paid to much per year for too many years.

A lot of Youngsters starting tonight. Tanaka is the story tonight.
For Walker to go on the 40 man roster someone has to be dropped off.
With nOthani looking so bad this spring I wonder if the Angels will send him to AAA and if they do how will nOthani handle the demotion. Better the Angels problem than the Yankees.
coryankee, It looks like Othani aka nOhtani to WIN METHOD fans may be far more trouble than he is worth.
In his second outing of the spring Tanaka goes four inning giving up two runs and looked much better than in his first start.
Final, loss 2-1 as Yankees fail to produce when it mattered most. Very good pitching however.

Later this season could this be the Yankee lineup but for Bird???? ???? ????
I love the lineup and I can live with Walker and Drury starting the season for the kids so we can gain another season of control.
CC to build up pitch count today. Real meaningful baseball is getting closer.
There is no truly weak spot in the Yankee lineup, pretty much no matter who plays.
CC goes four credible innings allowing one run.
Bottom of 7th and Tiger pitcher K's Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez. None looked good and all K'd swinging on pitches outside the strike zone.
2-2 tie today.
Last two games 0-1-1. Pitching has been great, hitting has been poor.
Warren, Chapman, Robertson, and Green all with scoreless innings today. Gallegos blew the save in the ninth giving up a run.
Adams starts tomorrow against O's and needs to make a big splash. Command, throw strikes, and challenge hitters. If he continues to try to finesse hitters he will just shot himself in the foot.
Yankees making steady progress paring down spring camp. With minor league training games starting Friday it is best getting players to the levels they belong so they can play everyday.
No matter how powerful our lineup, producing when it matters will determine if we win.
Relax and enjoy the season WIN METHOD fans. We will play 162 games and we will make the playoffs. We will lose games but we will win most of our games. Smile and be happy.
The guys have to learn to play and win together as a team. No one player is the team, no matter his stats. If you do not produce when it counts to help the team win, you will not be the best. The veterans must instill this into the youngsters, and the words of producing when it counts will be fertilizer for the youngsters to help them bloom and grow. It is going to be a fun season WIN METHOD fans. Yes we can, yes we will, lets go YANKEES.
Hear hear.

How many games have the Yankees played this spring? That is how many different lineups Boone has used.
Boone explained when interviewed between innings the other day how innings and playing time for the regulars will increase over the next two weeks up to and including back to back games.
The Yankees have decided not to keep Adam Lind and have released him.
Adams implodes and embarrasses himself going 1 2/3 innings giving up 2 2 run home runs and 5 runs all told. He has a lot to prove in AAA to get back into the starting pitching mix.
Yes WIN METHOD, we can and we will.
Yankees go down to O's 7-4.
Sonny Gray listed as tomorrows starter.
Wade Deblank was ineffective again today.
Gray 4-5 innings tomorrow?
Two weeks until baseball 2018 win your way to the playoffs opens.
Adams has had an awful spring and there is no one to blame but himself. He is 23 and still has time. He just has to produce when it counts.

Yankee bats on track today with 8 runs thru 5 innings.
Betances crashes and burns again. One inning two runs on a two run HR.
Final 9-5 win.
Monty listed to start tomorrow night against the Astros.
As I read the words here I learn more about baseball everyday.
Dakarai Folami, the most important thing to know about baseball is wins and winning. All the teams in both leagues play a 162 game season and the teams who win their division go to the playoffs. Also two more teams in each league with the most wins also go to the playoffs.
You can't be the best unless you win says it all. Nothing else determines who is best, only wins determine who is best.
Dakarai Folami....There is nothing wrong with using statistics. Traditional stats like runs, hits, errors, batting average, etc are a part of baseball. Stats tell you how much and how many each player achieved or didn't achieve. The newer man made stats (sabermetrics) are pretty much garbage and should not be used unless you want to be a fool and fooled. The best players help lead their team to the playoffs the most often. So, to get to the playoffs you have to win. Wins and winning always tell who is best.
Yankees/Astros tonight. The biggest game of this spring training season and no TV by each team and no network.

Neil Walker at 1b in his first game as a Yankee.
Would like to see Monty dominate tonight against the Strohs.
Monty has thrown the most innings of any Yankee pitcher so far this spring.
Nothani in his start today threw 50 pitches. He got 4 outs and gave up 7 runs on 7 hits. Better them than us.
I don't even know how I finished up right here, however I assumed this
post was once great. I do not recognise who you might be but definitely you are going to
a famous blogger should you aren't already.
Cheers!
Yankees go down 2-0.
Yankee bats were silenced tonight.

Starting pitcher all taking a step forward as the season starts within two weeks. Pitch counts and innings rising. Bullpen aces all getting their time in also.

Yankees trounced by Tigers 9-3.
We haven't looked good this past week. But again, the games mean nothing. Just need to get ready to start the season, and hopefully start strong, and get better during the season.
Louie Louie named as tomorrows starting pitcher. Five innings?
Louie Louies start may be more of a pitch count limit.
Look for the full lineup tomorrow behind Louie Louie.

This is the basic opening day lineup. They just need to jell, learn to play together, and produce when it counts.
Caleb Smith pitching for the Marlins. Smith along with Castro was part of the deal for Stanton.
True spring training games mean nothing, BUT there should be no reason or excuse for the Yankees not to win todays game.
Louie Louie with five complete innings and 70+ pitches.
Wade Deblank does it again. Can't pitch an inning without giving up a run.
Yankees win 8-5 but it was never close.
David Hale starts tomorrow for Yankees.
About the time to start setting the rotation up for the start of the season.
Everyone needs to get their minds set for the season and producing when it counts.
Ten day until opening day game for 2018 season.
There will be no TV coverage for the next three games.
Here is more stat fraud garbage as they try to rate each pitchers start on a point basis.
Start with 50 points.
1.Add one point for each one-third of an inning pitched.
2.Add two points for every complete inning from the fifth on.
3.Subtract two points for each hit allowed.
4.Subtract two points for each run allowed.
5.Subtract two points for each earned run allowed.
6.Subtract one point for each walk.
7.Add one point for each strikeout.
Lets try out this formula using the seven factors.... We start with 50 points. 1.Our pitcher pitches a complete nine inning game 50 + 27 = 77. 2.He complete 5 innings from the 5th thru 9th innings 77 + 10 = 87. 3.He allows 5 hits 87 - 10 = 77. 4.He allows 5 runs 77 - 10 = 67. 5.He allows 5 earned runs 67 - 10 = 57. 6.He doesn't walk anyone 57 + 0 = 57.
7.He strikes out 15 batters 57 + 15 = 72. According to the point earned chart our pitcher should win 74% of his starts if he earns the 72 points he earned.
Conclusion..a pitcher can have a 5.00 ERA and be a .740 win percent pitcher. That is false and thus make the entire premise false, thus illustrating how meaningless and useless another fake stat is.
Steve....Try posting that on the garbage baseball forums and you get run out on a rail. Truth kills the stat frauds.
When someone creates a formula, a theory, or a method, you have to test it every way possible to see if the conclusion you get is infallible. If whatever you test/use gives a false result and any point it is useless/meaningless. The WIN METHOD has never failed because it ALWAYS tells who is best, be it for a game, a series, a week, a month, a or a full season. That is FACT. The fake, phony, stat frauds hate facts.

Steve, I used the same formula with my pitcher allowing just 3 runs over a 9 inning complete game. Changed the hits, walks and K's. Came up with a rating of 49 meaning his chance of winning was 25%. Ironclad proof the formula is meaningless.
All convoluted man created formulas using any combination of variables and man created factors are useless except in the eyes of fans that don't know baseball and have heads filled with mush and easily led by charlatans.
Yanks go down 4-2.
After 8 innings of scoreless one hit pitching by four Yankees pitchers, Adam Warren had maybe his worst inning of his career allowing four runs and five hits, two of which were home runs and the Yankees lost tonights game to the Rays 4-2.
It was only a meaningless spring training game last night. But so much happened that shows that baseball games are won or lost by how everyone on the team contributes. Yankees lost because they failed too many times to score runs when they had the chances and because one pitcher in one inning of five pitchers failed miserably while the four others were brilliant over their eight innings.

NJYANKEE..>>..>> Stats are individual events for each player during their time in each game. Stats never can tell you the importance of each individual event. However wins and winning tell you who performed the best and or most often to win the game.
Wins don't fall into the stat fraud narrative. Stat frauds want to tell you the losing players are the best and eht winning players are not. That is the goal of their fake made up formulas.
afraud, the most foul and corrupt player in Yankee history has been named special advisor to Brian Cashman. The cancer has not been eliminated. This news is disgusting.
Yankees go down to Tigers 8-3 this afternoon.

The big guns are in action tonight.
Tyler Wade has been named to the Yankee 25 man roster and will start the season with the big team.
Wade has earned it.
The worst for the Orioles is Cobb over the past 3 seasons is 23-23, a .500 pitcher. No question, better them than us.
Sharon/NC
What a truly senseless way to judge how a pitcher will perform in the future. Especially with the fact that as we know, a win is a team effort.
9-4 win tonight with the big guns in for most of the game.
Judge had a big game. Scored 4 runs and had 4 RBIs and 2 HRs.
Bird is still not in gear. Would like to see him start to roll.
Monty starts tomorrow. 1:00 PM on TV.
Steven, the only senseless thing here is 90% of your posts which define ignorance. Fact, pitchers earn wins and losses every game since the history of baseball.
Only 90%?
People, Steven is a stat fraud, pay him no mind. He just comes here to rile things up. He's good for laughs, that's about it.

Ellsbury back in lineup. Boone does let everyone show what they got.
Monty may get one more spring training start after today, but the other four should all get just one more.
Montgomery goes six complete innings allowing just one run today.
Final 2-1 win as German goes final 3 innings, 0 runs, 0 hits.
Tanaka listed for tomorrow versus the sux at 1:00PM televised on espn. The big guys should all be in the lineup.
The main thing is getting prepared for the start of the season next week. The worst self caused injuries to Ellsbury and Frazier are inconsequential. It looks as if all starters will be able to go a minimum of five innings and up to seven dependent on pitch counts. The big arms in the pen are getting stronger and each will only be needed for an inning and at most two are looking good. The lineup just needs to control the strike zone, hit the ball where it is pitched and produce when it counts. Then the team will roll to the playoffs.
I see Steven posted another dumb opinion regarding wins. I would like him to explain the fact that since baseball began a pitcher has been credited with a win or a loss in every game his team has played. That's over one hundred plus years, every game, every team, forever. But to him, it means nothing. That is a stat fraud for you. Deny the reality of winning and espouse
the convoluted man made meaningless stats.
Warren, do you remember the days of the old stat fraud stat that gave the game winning rbi to the batter who put his team in front and then never tied or lost the lead for the rest of the game. A guy could ground out in the first inning with men on first and third and one out and get an rbi and then his team go on to win 12-11 never being tied of losing the lead.
bigbadwolf, the new formulas are much more complicated and can fool many young and sadly older baseball fans unlike the old game winning rbi stat. Nonetheless they are all garbage.
Even the newest fads are BS. Spin rate and exit velocity are the thing now among analyticists. Neither defines if a player can help his team win games. That is what is missing in their analysis. Just because a pitcher can spin the ball at a faster rate than another pitcher, doesn't mean he is a better pitcher.

Boone said he may bat Judge first. In my opinion, all the chiefs are on top and all the indians are on the bottom. But no one ever knows how a game plays out. Everyone needs to contribute to help their team win.
There is no question that the top of the order will get more at bats over the season than the bottom.
During a game you never know who will come to bat when it matters most. In essence it may make no difference what the lineup is. Tradition has always had certain players with certain capabilities bat in certain spots in the lineup.
We start the real season in six days. Lets go Yankees.
Tanaka goes 5 2/3 innings @ 70 pitches and allow just one run on a solo HR. Solid outing.
Yankees go down to sux 5-0 as bullpen, Shreve, Betances, Lail give up 4 runs in last 3 innings.
Louie Louie to make final spring start tomorrow before opening day in Toronto next week.
Hello Yankee fans. Lets go Yankees.
I watched the game today on espn and their coverage disgusts me. They constantly talk about garbage, they hold interviews that are garbage. They do not talk about the game. While talking the game is on split screen so you are forced not only to hear their voices but must also see their ugly faces. May espn rot in hell.
espn is the worst but it is just not them..If you subscribe to MLMTV you can get all games via each teams telecast. It is far superior to network coverage.
