This season we appear to have improved the roster in all areas. Adding Stanton, Walker, Drury, etc. will surely make this team better. Having Robertson, Kahnle, and Gray for the entire season should also improve the team. The only injury of consequence is Greg Birds bone spur, the surgery he just underwent, and him being out for about two months. As usual we will play the hand we are dealt and overcome all roadblocks and obstacles.
We have several players at AAA Scranton chomping at the bit while blooming and growing that will be heard from and make their presence felt this season. You know their names, Torres, Andujar, German, and others. This 2018 Yankee team is deep, has gained confidence and experience, and has backups close at hand.
As I started to write this post I noticed a post by Cory. I thought his post was very insightful and positive and I didn't want it to get bypassed because of being posted in a past blog, so I am reposting it right here now. Thank you for your post Cory.
----- I will be doing the ten game sets and posting them here as I did last season.
Here is the sets from last season.
10. 6-4
20. 7-3 = 13-7
30. 8-2 = 21-9
40. 3-7 = 24-16
50. 6-4 = 30-20
60. 7-3 = 37-23
70. 2-8 = 39-31
80. 4-6 = 43-37
90. 4-6 = 47-43
100. 7-3 = 54-46
110. 5-5 = 59-51
120. 6-4 = 65-55
130. 5-5 = 70-60
140. 5-5 = 75-65
150. 8-2 = 83-67
160. 7-3 = 90-70
Note the sets from games 61-90. We were 10-20. That is awful baseball. Still finished 91-71. With everything else staying the same if that 30 game skid could be bettered this season to just 15-15 that would mean this season could wind up 96-66. If we improve the three 5-5 sets from last season by one game that would take this season to 99-63. And if we raise the 3-7 set to 4-6 that could take this season to 100 wins.
It will be up to the players on the field producing when it matters most, but it is surely possible.-----
It is not only Cory with great posts, it is all of your posts, every single one of you from all over the world who post your comments and views here. And all of the readers of the WIN METHOD blog from all over the world, even if you do not post. We have surpassed 320 million views and are getting bigger and bigger every day. Yes, we still get some stat frauds, but they are good for us and also and serve a purpose. The stat frauds give us a guidepost and remind us of just how meaningless and useless their individual stats are. There is no doubt to anyone here who is a WIN METHOD fan that only wins can take a team to the playoffs. Only wins and winning as always, do now, and always will in the future, determine the best players and teams. THANK YOU ALL WIN METHOD FANS.
Now it is just about that time where we all stand up and cheer our team for the 2018 season!
LETS GO YANKEES

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 2301 Newer› Newest»Gray need to start winning consistently, and start doing it now. Put up or get the heck out.
At his best Gray is maybe a #3 pitcher. At his worst he is a AAA pitcher. His value right now is just about a #5-6 as a Yankee. To be rated any higher Gray would have to start dominating and winning consistently, which he hasn't really shown he can do for a competitive team. Example, Louie Louie was awful last night but he won, went six innings and only allowed 3 runs. If Gray could do that at his best and do it all the time he would be acceptable. He truly does need to do better.
It is far better to grow your own pitchers. It may take a little longer for them to bloom and grow, but it is far less expensive. NO PITCHER, repeat NO pitcher in the world is worth 30 million dollars per season.
Here is a nice fact. Over the past ten seasons of MLB the number one team of the thirty has been the WIN METHOD Yankees with a .564 win percentage. And this was through a rebuilding stretch. Now watch as the Yankees win more and increase that percentage over the next ten years.
There is no better tool in baseball than the WIN METHOD, and int has been that way for 2 1/2 decades now.
There is no question and there is not even a debate, the WIN METHOD has ruled baseball for going on three decades. The only team, the New York Yankees, that uses it, has since its inception won more games than any other team in baseball, appeared in more playoffs, won the most pennants, and won the most World Series. So the fake phony stat frauds can cry all they want in their pablum.

2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH

7. Austin Romine (R) C
8. Ronald Torreyes (R) SS
9. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
Garner back in. Sanchez out. Didi out second game in a row. Hicks clean up. Frazier not in.
Today's lineup shows the depth of this team. A switch hitter batting cleanup is sweet. Lets win this series.
With the Yankees having the best record in MLB it sure looks as if Boone knows what he is doing with the players and the lineup. Let him be.
Game time, lets go Yankees. Lets win another series.
0-0 after 2.
Yankees score first on a two run home run by Tyler Austin in fourth inning.
Boone seems to have a magic touch when making out lineups. Hicks cleanup and Austin in the 5 hole with a triple and and two home runs for five RBIs. And only in the fifth inning.
As the Yanks lead 6-0 after six, Sonny Gray is pitching the best game of his career. Faced a9 batter, got 18 outs and allowed a bloop single. Total domination for the first time as a Yankees.
Gray completes 8 dominant innings allowing one meaningless run in the 8th and earn the win. Cole in to close out the game.
Yankees take the series. On to Texas to face the Rangers three games Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Final 10-1 win, a laugher, and 8th straight series win. First time since 1998.
If Grays consistently pitches like he did today, he will have taken a giant step forward.
Tanaka, German, and CC listed for the Texas series in Dallas.
Does everyone old enough remember the 1998 season. It was special and this 2018 season is going to be special also.
Starting times for the three Texas games are 8:00pm Mon and Tue, then 7:00pm Wed.
The Yankees have a big target on their back. Every team we play, every pitcher we face wants to be the team/guy that takes down the Yankees. Just play WIN METHOD baseball and win as a team with every player contributing. Yes we can.
Warren Hammond..."every player contributing" that is what stat frauds and unknowledgeable baseball fans don't accept or believe. They are blinded by high individual stats and players that do not help their team win. They can't accept that to be the best, a team or a player has to win.
Again, game one of a series tonight. Tanaka to start and the win is what we are looking for.
Warren and Steve, I believe you guys hit on a very telling phrase ""every player contributing."" Stat frauds without using their meaningless individual stats have no way to determine how each player contributes. Stat fraud, because of their indefatigable ignorance, think the last few players on a teams roster have little to no value to a team. Stat frauds are unable to accept what part a role player means to a team and his real value. Because they measure everything by individual stats they have no ability to quantify true value of each and every player.
Examples of role players, Romine and Torreyes. What gems for the Yankees that when inserted in the lineup for the role they are asked to play help the team to not miss a beat.
Also there are pitcher role players. The starting rotation, the middle (long) relievers, the holders, the closers, the mopups. Everyone contributes, everyone.
Lets take game one tonight and give ourselves a little cushion for this series.
Not only is it fact that everyone contributes, but also when they contribute that matters. Contributing (producing) when it matters is paramount to winning baseball. Producing to pad stats is meaningless. Wins and winning determines production when it matters.

We face Bartolo Colon, 44 years old and still an effective MLB pitcher. Guys, don't fall prey to Colon tonight. Just win the game. Lets go Yankees.
Start the series with a win. Lets go Yankees.
Pitchers like Colon scare me. They are crafty, and when they are on their game they can be awfully tough to beat. But then again, we are an awfully tough team for a pitcher to beat.
Try not to swing at his junk. Make him come to you guys. Lets go Yankees.
3-1 Yankees thru two innings.
Tanaka has nothing again tonight. 4-4 after 4.
5-4 Yanks after 5.
Yanks 8-4 after 6. Green in for Tanaka.
Factoid: This is the first time in Yankee history that the team has hit at least four home runs in three consecutive games.
Final 10-5 Yankees win.
Yankees take first game of this series 10-5.
German has been tapped to start tomorrow nights second game of this series. Lets see how he rebounds from his last start.
I wonder what's going on with Tanaka.
Earn your stripes German. Throw strikes and dominate.
KevMac.. I agree. He can look so good one inning and so bad the next. Then in the biggest games he seems to find another gear to go to.
The Yankees face a left hander tonight. All I can say do unto the lefty an you did unto the righty last night.
Just remember WIN METHOD fans, you can't win every game.
Lets take this series tonight guys. Keep playing good baseball and keep producing wins.
Would love to see German throw a great game tonight. He's still young and blooming and growing, and each really good start builds confidence.
Lets go Yankees. Keep winning.
Will we get a full righty lineup tonight or will Boone use a lefty bat?

9. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
Didi only left handed bat in lineup. Gardner off day.
Everyone contributes. That is the WIN METHOD way.
You can do it German. Opportunity knocks. Let it in.
Yankees down 5-1 thru 3.
German with a rough start. 3 2/3 innings allowing 6 runs. Leaves down 6-1.
Yanks down 6-1 after 4.
Getting closer, down 6-2 after 7.
Yanks making a game of it. Down 6-4 mid 8th.
Final 6-4 loss despite 3 HRs.
Rubber game tomorrow for the series. CC on the mound.
A win today means a winning road trip, a loss means a .500 road trip which in itself is not really bad. But we are better than that so we win tonight and head home for the weekend.
CC to the rescue. Rescue? Yep, we just lost a game.
Clint Frazier went 0-5 last night in AAA striking out 4 times. Not good.
I think it will be hard for Frazier to break in with the Yankees for several reasons. There really isn't a spot in the Yankee outfield right now. His general attitude. His overall performance. The Yankee coaches must see something in Frazier that is keeping him back. We see how Andujar, Torres, Bird, Sanchez, Judge and even Austin have played their way into the lineup. Something or a combination of things is holding Frazier back.

Sanchez sitting tonight. Four left handed bats. We need the win to win the series.
I heard Sanchez has a very minor calf strain. With an off day tomorrow and having a great second catcher in Romine, getting today off is a sound idea.
CC could be very effective tonight. Lets take this series.
Remember fans tonight's game is and hour earlier than the last two games. 7:00PM.
Yankees take early 3-0 lead after one inning.
Yanks up 3-0 after 2.
CC blows it in 4th giving up 5 runs. Yanks now trail 5-4 after 4.
Slugfest alert. Yankees 10 Rangers 7 though 5.
I don't think I've seen anything like this Yankee power laden lineup from top to bottom, ever.
Believe it or not Yankees down 11-10 after six as Shreve and Robertson fail in relief.
Yanks down 11-10 after 6.
Yanks down 12-10 after 8.
Final, 12-10 another dreadful loss as CC, Shreve and Robertson give the game away.
One heck of a nightmare loss. Your lineup scores ten runs, you should win every time. Epic fail from the pitchers. Wonder if Boone will have some private conversations.
Will be a sad trip home and a day off to stew over tonight's game. If it carries over the next six games there weill be several losses.
Games like this make for a sleepless night. To many could'ves and should'ves.
Let's all take a deep breath. It was a very bad loss. But accept it, learn from it, build from it, then use it as fertilizer to bloom and grow. There will be some positives coming.
Thank you WIN METHOD for your wisdom. Lets go Yankees.
Yes, it was a tough loss. But when you have a few players who do not perform when it counts, you will lose and you deserve to lose. No team is giving us anything, we have to be better than the opposition each game.
Thanks for the encouragement WIN METHOD, love ya.
In four months we will be looking to see who will play in the playoffs. Think positive.
Louie Louie, Gray, and Tanaka scheduled starters for the weekend series with the Angels.
We gave away the Texas series, now make amends in the Angel series.
Lets move forward and sweep the Angels with an exclamation point.
Louie Louie is about due to throw a real barn burner dominant outing.
In the end the Yankees will prove to be the best team in baseball. How? with wins.
Tommy Stenchion... Hear hear.
Let's take the Angels to the cleaners one game at a time.
Night games Friday and Saturday, day game Sunday.
As always, lets win game one.
The Angels are skipping over Nohtani rotation spot against the Yankees.
Lets go guys, stop the losing streak tonight.
Word is Kahnle and Bird may be added to the 25 man roster this weekend.
Louie Louie gets the chance to be the stopper tonight. Blow them away Louie.
What would it look like to opposing teams if maybe four or five Yankee bats got hot at the same time? Lets find out guys.

Didi and Gardner the two lefty bats. Swing at strikes and hit the ball where it's pitched.
Produce when it counts. All of this equals wins.
We don't have to say the lineup is solid or good anymore because it makes no difference who is in the lineup or where they are hitting. Every Yankee lineup is solid and good.
Steve, positive attitudes are good and inspire. Unlike the talk forums where there is constant whining, sniveling, and back biting by stupid fans, nonetheless, still fans of the Yankees.
The other day when Judge hit his 471 foot HR in Texas. Just to show you great Mickey Mantle was in the 50's and 60's, if that ball was hit in the same direction in Yankee Stadium, the ball would not have been a home run and possibly, although not likely could have been caught.
If Mantle played in todays ballparks he easily would have hit 900+ HRs over his career. Every park Mantle hit in was bigger than todays parks except the Fenway. Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis/Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, and Philadelphia/KC have all gotten significantly smaller.
William Mensom, without looking up dimensions, several of the AL ballparks were well over 410 feet in center will very deep valleys in right and left center. All the fly outs alone and likely many doubles and triples Mantle hit in the Stadium alone would easily be another 30 or more HRs a year say for at least 15 seasons and Mantle would have hit over 1000 Ballantyne blasts. I was there, it is truth what I write here.
William Menson/sid greenberg/nyc, I know both of you are in your 80's. And I know from WIN METHOD who is getting up there in age also that he thought Mantle was the best ball player he ever saw. I wonder if there is anyway the stat cast guys can go back and look at the old games and see just how many more homers Mantle would have it. But knowing the dimensions of many of those old parks, I have to believe very much that Mantle would have hit as many home runs as you guys say. Thanks guys.
Lets go Yankees. No fooling around.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
1-1 thu five. Failure with men in scoring position hurting.
Louie Louie goes six complete innings allowing one run and leaves with a no decision. 1-1.
Torres HR in 7th puts Yankees up 2-1 after seven.
Torres hits HR in 7th for a 2-1 Yankees lead. Torres is now youngest player in baseball history to hit home runs in four consecutive games.
Chapman saves 2-1 win. Torres HR game winner.
Final Yankees win 2-1.
A win is a win. A one run win is not worse than a ten run win.
Gray starts tomorrow for the series win. We score ten runs and lose then score two runs and win. It is no how many or how much that counts, only wins matter and count.
Hope Gray gives us another gem like his last start. If he steps up and rises to the challenge of being a Yankee and pitching on the biggest stage it will be a big help to the team going forward.
Only a 1 run win last night, but throughout the game I never felt the Yankees would lose. Maybe it was just because they trailed.
The Yankees have to face their old bugaboo tonight, a pitcher they have never seen before. Hope you guys give him a Yankee Stadium feeling about pitching in the big apple.
If you take away five of Stantons best games so far this season, and you have one really bad performing player. There has been very little game to game consistency from him. An awful lot of K's and popups.
There are a lot of ifs for tonights game on both sides. Our ifs are better, maybe.
Greg Bird has been activated and may very well be in the lineup tonight. In a corresponding move, the Yankees have sent the best utility man in MLB Ronald Torreyes to AAA Scranton. Just goes to show how good this team is.
William Mensom/sid greenberg,nyc/johnsondc.....Let me add. The Stadium dimensions when Mantle played were gigantic from left to right except for directly down the foul lines. Mantle played @1200 games in the Stadium with @4000 at bats. If he hit just one long fly ball out anywhere from left center to right center once every five games, they would be HRs today and added at least 240 more HRs to his total. And that is not counting any road games in gigantic centerfields as in Cleveland and Detroit amongst others.
Guys, I went back and looked up the dimensions of the Stadium. From straight away left 402 feet to left center 467 feet to dead center 461 to right center 407 was gigantic. Even to see it in pictures is intimidating. My gosh Mantle had to be super human and he wasn't on steroids.

6. Greg Bird (L) 1B
7. Miguel Andujar (R) 3B
8. Austin Romine (R) C
9. Gleyber Torres (R) 2B
Bird in. Did this lineup get even better. Five of the starters were minor leaguers two years ago.
I'm looking for Bird to join the party tonight with a home run.
Mark Wagoner, I also am hoping for the best for Bird. If he stays healthy the rest of the season he will be an asset and make his presence felt. As long as the team wins is all that counts. Everyone will contribute during the season in many different ways. Lets go Yankees.
Gray single and rbi double to first two batters, but that is all.
Gardner and Judge open the bottom of the first with back to back home runs. Yankees 2-1 after one.
Romine 2 run HR puts Yanks up 4-1 thru 2.
Gray was Grayskies again tonight with one heck of a horrendous outing giving up 5 runs in 3 2/3 innings and putting the Yankees in a hole 5-4.
Yankees down 5-4 after 5.
Yankee pitchers getting hammered 11-4 after 7.
Final, 11-4 loss. That is final after leading 4-1.
Rubber game tomorrow.
Tanaka today in rubber game weather permitting.
Sunday 5/27 1:05pm

6. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
7. Greg Bird (L) 1B Richards.
8. Miguel Andujar (R) 3B
9. Neil Walker (S) 2B
Walker in for Torres at 2B. Makes for five left handed bats against the righty Richards.
We could really use a well pitched winning game from Tanaka.
Home runs are nice, but producing when it counts most wins games. We hit three home runs last night and got hammered by a team that produced when it counted.
0-0 after 2.
Tanaka grinding it out. Has allowed no runs through four as Yanks lead 3-0 coming up.
We lead 3-0 after 5 and should be leading by at least double that. This is the type of game that scares me as we allow the other team to stay close. We need add-on runs now.
Robertson and Betances with shutout 7th and 8th. Now it's Chapmans turn.
Chapman does it. Yanks win 3-1 to take series.
Final 3-1 win. Robertson and Betances with holds and Chapman with the save.
Not good looking and no pizzaz, but a win. Scored 3 runs on one hit, three walks, a HBP, and a ground out.
Astros in for three game series starting tomorrow. German, CC, Louie Louie our starters.
I'd be willing to bet that German throws a better game tomorrow against the Astros than Grayskies did against the Angels last start.
That finishes our season with the Angels. We beat them 5 of 6 games.
German has the tools to be a very good starter. He just needs to bloom and grow a little more. Don't forget he is only in this position because of the injury to Monty. German is developing and learning on the job. When everything comes to fruition he will be a solid rotation starter. Panic is only for the stat fraud fools. Relax fans and be happy.
Pitching takes longer to develop. You don't find many polished winning MLB pitchers in their early 20's. Some don't turn the corner until at least mid 20's. We have a few down the road but none right now. At least as far as I know.
Lets produce when it counts today guys. German give us five innings and keep us close. Bird has gotten his feet wet and is about ready to put a ball in the seats in fair territory.
Happy Memorial Day to all and particularly to all are great veterans.
This weekends series with the Angels was a stat frauds nightmare, AGAIN. The team that lost the series scored 13 runs and the team that won the series scored 9 runs. In the game the team that won the series lost, they scored more runs than they did in the two games they won. Thus proving again just how meaningless stats are and proving over and over that only wins and winning determine the best players and teams. Everyone contributes in helping a team win, not just the fat stat players.
God bless our military, our veterans, our fallen veterans, our great President Trump, and God bless America.

Big lineup changes. Stanton out, Torres 5th, Bird cleanup. Didi down to 7th. Walker DH.
Stupid me. I was thinking that Bird would be move to Cleanup for this game. But Didi and Stanton doing nothing in the 3 and 4 spot needed a change and the best change in my opinion was made. I was going to post it and didn't.
Lets go Yankees, beat Verlander, yes you can.
A special thank you to all the WIN METHOD veterans here. Thank you for your service and all you have down to make America great again. Happy Memorial Day.
God bless our veterans and our military. And yes, God bless the New York Yankees.
German gives up 3 run HR in 2nd. Yanks down 3-0 after 2.
Yanks down 4-0 after 4.
Yankees down 4-0 mid sixth. But there is good. German pitched 5 2/3 innings of pretty good baseball. He pitched against one of if not the best team in baseball and did very well. The one and maybe the only bad thing was one pitch which became a 3 run homer. The game isn't over yet.
NJYANKEE, I agree. German threw over 100 pitches and was still throwing very hard when he came out. By allowing him to pitch as far into the game as the Yankees did, he learned and it added to his blooming and growing. This kid is going to be a very good high level major league pitcher not far down the road. As I write Bird just hit a home run to lead off the 7th. It ain't over.
Yanks down 5-1 after 8.
Final. 5-1 loss. There were good points in this loss. Bloom and grow.
1-10 5-5
11-20 6-4 = 11-9
21-30 9-1 = 20-10
31-40 8-2 = 28-12
41-50 5-5 = 33-17
A nothing burger 10 game set. Even is still better than losing. Move forward the next set.
We had some good at bats against Verlander today and pushed him to go all out. Lets move on.
Happy Memorial Day. Thanks for your service guys and gals.
CC tomorrow against a 7-0 pitcher. Odds are in our favor.
When you look at the schedule the Yankees played for these first fifty games, their record is excellent. The next fifty games will be big. If we do what we did and get what we got, everything will be fine.
Lets see what CC gives us tomorrow. We need a good game.
After 50 games, this years Yankees team is only 3 games better than last years Yankee team.
CC can be the man who takes down and undefeated pitcher and the World Champion team tonight. Lets give him some help everyone.
Winning against really good teams always comes down to producing when it counts. Many times just a couple of hits at the right time can win a game.
Morton is overdo to get lit up and we are just the team to do it.
Was glad to see Bird home run, and it was off of Verlander. Didi looks about ready to start hitting for hits again.
I would sit Stanton again tonight and use left handed bats in Gardner, Hicks, Bird, Didi, Walker, then Judge, Sanchez, Andujar, and Torres.
1.Gardner
2.Judge
3.Bird

Tony Gigante, you got all but for Stanton instead of Walker. Stanton has to become a force sometime. He has done little to help this team win. He needs to become a consistent force that pitchers are afraid of. Right now it appears few pitchers fear him.
Sometimes when I watch some of Stanton's at bat I get flashbacks of Chris Carter. Stanton is far more athletic however.
Ivan Noriokos >> True, only 3 games better than last year after 50 games. There are several big 'buts' to consider. One, our first 50 games this season were against much tougher opponents than last season. Two, our new youngsters had no ML experience unlike Sanchez and Judge who had experience and success from their previous year.
When and if needed the bullpen needs to be spot on tonight. It would be really great to win this game. There is not much better than taking down an undefeated starter.
Lets go Yankees. You are the best.
Lets try to score early and often. Lets pound Morton. Lets play flawless defense.
Gardner HR puts Yanks up 1-0 in first inning.
2-1 Yankees after two on Torres 2 out RBI single.
Yanks trailing 3-2 after 4.
Yankee defensive errors and misplays have given away multiple runs this game and putting team in a hole.
Yanks down 5-3 after five as Judge HR gets one run back.
Yankees getting to Morton and making him work hard, but just haven't been able to put the hammer down on him.
The Yankees have committed five errors, not produced when it counted, and are still in the game, trailing 5-3 after seven.
Gardner 2 run HR ties it in 9th. Judge double, Bird and Sanchez look terrible each striking out when it counted most. Extra innings tied at 5.
One heck of a game. Even playing bad baseball the Yanks are still in it. Would hate to have come this far and lose.
Andujar two out double and Torres game winning rbi walk off single wins it in 10th 6-5.
Final an amazing come from behind extra inning 6-5 win.
I love baseball and I love it all the more now that WIN METHOD has taught me how the game is played and what really matters. What fun.
Now we have a chance to win this series with Louie Louie starting tomorrow night. That would be great.
The rolls are reversed tomorrow night as Keuchel and the Astros will try to beat the 7-1 top starter and a very strong Yankees team.
Bypassed in last nights win, don't forget the five scoreless innings from the bullpen. Holder started it with 2 innings followed by one each from Robertson, Betances, and Chapman.
I bet Bird may get the night off against the lefty Keuchel. How about Stanton dropping Stanton to the 7 hole. Maybe he can't handle the big stage and bright lights? Just imagine if he starts to produce.
Would really like to get a total shutdown game from Louie Louie tonight, but that will be very hard against a team as good as the Astros.
With last nights win we have taken the season series with the Astros. A win tonight and we will be 5-2 or with a loss 4-3 against them. We also have won the season series against the Angels 5-1.
Think of this positive. Several of the bloom and grow youngsters are so young and new to MLB, how high is their upside. If they only progress at a reasonable rate, the Yankees have ten years from them producing at a high level. If we can just produce an arm or two at a Louie Louie level. And I don't want to give away the farm for a middling starter which all the stat frauds are clamoring for.
