Winter is over, the hot stove is off. Spring training games are finished, now the season begins. Over the next 162 games the ten best teams will go on to the playoffs. This is the time when producing when it counts matters most and over the next 162 games the best players in the game will go to the playoffs. Wins and winning is all that matters and only wins and winning will get the best players and the best teams to the playoffs.
The NEW YORK YANKEES completed a banner off season obtaining several players who will play for the team to win and who know that winning as a team and doing all the little things that can help the team win is what matters most in the end. Paxton, Happ, Britton, Tulowitzki, Lemahieu, Voit, and others know that only wins, and not individual stats, are what gets a team to the playoffs. The YANKEE hierarchy was brilliant by not signing either Manny Machado or Bryce Harper to ten and thirteen year contracts for the amount of money each is getting that neither player is worth, and would have crippled the YANKEES for the decade ahead. Look for the YANKEES to win more World Series than the Padres and Phillies combined over the next decade.
With the blossoming of the YANKEES own core of youngsters who have bloomed and are now growing in the major leagues at the nucleus of this 2019 team, the YANKEES are set to recapture the division title in the American League East. The YANKEES will start this season with a handful of key players on the disabled list (DL), however the YANKEES as every other team will have to play the hand they are dealt and overcome obstacles put in front of them. Yes, the YANKEES can and the YANKEES will.
What is most promising is the future ahead. The YANKEES have been able to obtain many WIN METHOD youngsters with a bright future and an unlimited ceiling. Keep an eye out for Estevan Florial who has the tools to be the YANKEE center fielder of the future. There are also several starting pitchers in the minors that will step forward to be major league impact starters for the YANKEES.
Thank you, to all the readers and posters of the WIN METHOD blog. You all have contributed to this blog surpassing 548 million views and you all have made this baseball blog the best in the world.
The season starts in a couple of days and a great season it will be for the YANKEES. Thank you all again for you support, your comments, and your opinions. All of which are posted with intelligence and wisdom far beyond any other site, blog, or forum in existence. LETS GO YANKEES.

Yankees trail 4-1 after the first inning as CC gets hammered.
Yanks down 5-1 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 10-2. Slaughtered. Never in it.
Wow, the team looked really bad last night. Hope it's only a temporary June swoon.
Green starts Yankee bullpen game tonight. We need to win today and tomorrow.
Lets go Yankees.
Stanton and Judge may be just the infusion the Yankees need anytime now.
This has been posted many times in this blog. When you are playing your best, you are not that good, and when you are playing your worse, you are not that bad. Lets won guys.

Man oh man do we need a win. Lets go Yankees.
Rain delay. Why not?
Scoreless thru two.
Yanks up 4-0 after 4.
It looks as if the Yankees have attained Edward Encarnacion from the Mariners. No details have been released yet.
Reportedly Yankee pitching prospect Juan Then headed to Seattle for Encarnacion.
7-0 Yankees after 7. 2 shutout innings from Green and 5 from Cortes.
Final. Yankees win 8-4. Earned a much needed win. Do it again tomorrow.
Paxton starts this afternoon to try to get out of town with a split series. He will have to do far better than his last effort to earn the win.

Wins are what matters. Producing when it counts is what matters.
Lets go guys, we need to keep winning. Produce when it counts.
If you look at a possible lineup of Encarnacion, Voit, Torres, Didi, LeMahieu, Stanton, Hicks, Judge, Sanchez, that leaves Romine backup catcher, Urshela backup infield, Frazier backup outfield. That's 12. Keep either Maybin or Gardner as 13th leaving 12 pitchers. Likely going to have to trade someone or two. Or Frazier to AAA to keep getting full playing time.
Yanks down 1-0 after 2.
Yankees put up a five spot in third, four on two 2 out 2 RBI singles from old pros Gardner and Romine to take 5-1 lead. Paxton needs to shut the door for a few innings.
Yanks up 5-1 after 4.
Romine again. 2 RBI double in fifth puts Yankees up 7-1. Best backup catcher in baseball and likely starting catcher for a bunch of MLB teams.
Paxton goes six innings allowing two runs and leaves leading 9-2. Good effort after the boondoggle against the Mets.
Yanks up 10-3 after 8.
The 2019 season in ten game segments.
Games:
01- 10 ...... 5 - 5
11- 20 ...... 5 - 5 = 10-10
21- 30 ...... 7 - 3 = 17-13
31- 40 ...... 7 - 3 = 24-16
41- 50 ...... 9 - 1 = 33-17
51- 60 ...... 5 - 5 = 38-22
61- 70 ...... 5 - 5 = 43-27
Another marching in place ten game segment. Still barely clinging to first place.
Yankees head home for ten games. Three with the Rays, four with the Astros, and three with the Blue Jays. Tanaka, Happ, and CC listed for the the Rays. Lets play some winning baseball.
Too many 5-5 segments. That is mediocrity. The 30 game stretch of 23-7 is what is carrying us.
First series is a three gamer. Win it and it is a step forward.
Let's make a statement and sweep the Rays.
Frazier back to AAA as Encarnacion added to roster. What most thought would happen here.
Where in the lineup will Encarnacion bat? tonight and after Stanton is back? and after Judge is back?
Edwin, there is nothing better than a great first impression. Win the fans to your side quickly.
Cory. For 40 games we couldn't beat anyone with authority. But for 30 games we could beat anyone. Really don't like all those 5-5's. However we have been playing with a lot of our secondary players.
Gus Papa, One or two 5-5 segments over a full season is OK. If those four 5-5's were 6-4's the Yankees would be 4 1/2 games up on the Jays right now. It is all about wins. Wins are everything and there is not a single other stat that even comes close to wins.
Masahiro Tanaka RHP

A Hicks (S) CF
G Sánchez (R) C
E Encarnación (R) DH
D Gregorius (L) SS
G Torres (R) 2B
C Maybin (R) RF
B Gardner (L) LF
Look at this lineup, now put Santon in LF and Judge in RF dropping Maybin and Gardner out.
Scarry.
It is just about time for the Yankees to pound Rays starter Chirinos. And I mean pound.
Lets do it Tanaka. Six innings max two runs.
0-0 after 2.
LeMahieu again when it counts. Two run home run with two outs for the first runs of the game give Yankees 2-0 lead after three innings. For the exact opposite of failing when it counts. After LeMahieu home run, Voit walks, Hicks doubles to put men on 2nd and 3rd with two outs, but Sanchez flails away and strikes out on three pitches. Success and failure when it counts.
Yanks up 3-0 after 6.
Tanaka pitches complete game 2 hit shutout.
Final. Yankees win 3-0. Tanaka with a brilliant complete game shutout. LeMahieu and Maybin account for all three Yankee run. Scored and batted in all three runs between them.
We need to do it again tomorrow.
Encarnacion was 0-4 but he knows how to hit. His first at bat he saw nine pitches and did not chase anything like Sanchez and Torres did all night. His presence will be felt by the opposition soon.
Happ gets the start tonight weather permitting.
We have been getting some on and off again rain so far this morning with heavy storms and rain projected until 7PM and then showers. Game is iffy.
Tauchman back to AAA.
Rain rain go away, please let the Yankees play.
Pouring in NYC right now. There will be no batting practice. The game?????

G Torres (R) 2B
C Maybin (R) LF
I am not the manager and I only have my opinion, but I would flip-flop Sanchez and Encarnacion.
A win takes the series with the Rays.
Raining right now. Likely delay.
As expected and documented here, the Yankee game is presently in a rain delay.
Radar has rain gone by just after 8PM. Pitchers need to warm up, tarp needs to come off, field treated and the game should get played. You never know.
Happ is really struggling and Yankees trail 2-1 after three.
Yankees take 4-2 lead after five, on five singles for three runs.
My cousin Deivi started tonight and went six innings, 0 runs, 1 hit, 1 walk, and 15 strikeouts. Good job.
Final. Yankees win 6-3. Happ goes five allowing 2 runs for the win. Bullpen goes final four allowing 1 run. Nice win.
CC starts tomorrow afternoon with a chance of a sweep of the series.
That was some game from Deivi tonight. Faced 20 batters over his 6 innings and only 4 hit the ball.
Played thru rain last night, likely the same today.
Florial and Garcia are the Yankees future. Hope the Yankees are smart enough not to trade hem for anything.
CC Sabathia LHP

G Torres (R) SS

G Urshela (R) 3B
B Gardner (L) LF
Didi and Santon out. Torres a SS. Urshela a 3B. If CC keeps us close we win. Just like Happ did last night.
Encarnacion is a professional bat and seldom flails away at bad pitches. He belongs in the center of the order all the time.
Sanchez with first inning 3 run HR about 350 feet to right field. If he does that more often than trying to hit 450 feet home runs, he could be a devastating force at the plate.
Yankees knockout Snell after 1/3 inning and lead 6-0 after the first.
Yanks up 6-0 after 2.
The good, Yanks leading 6-1 after five. The bad, have not had a base runner since the first inning. No add-on runs. Come on guys, the game isn't over.
CC goes six innings giving up just one run and leaves leading 6-1. Great start from the old veteran.
Finally some extra runs. Yanks score 6 runs again for a 12-1 lead after 7. Capped by a Torres grand slam.
Without jinxing anyone, I would think it safe to say the Yankees have swept the second place Tampa Rays.
Final. Yankees win 12-1. Sweep Rays. CC great over six innings allowing one run. Bullpen saved as Holder and Cessa go the last three innings. Great start to ten game home stand.
Congratulations to CC Sabathia for becoming only the 14th pitcher in the history of baseball to win 250 games and have 3000 strikeouts. An amazing feat by an amazing person. I remember back to when I broke the story back in November 2008 that CC would be signing a Yankee contract.
Congratulations CC.
Hear hear WIN METHOD. CC is headed to the Hall of Fame.
I was a poster here from the beginning when WIN METHOD announced the CC and then the Teixeira signings. He has helped guide the Yankees for almost three decades now. Bloom and grow.
Great career CC. One of the all time greats.
Loved CC's outing today. A real competitor headed to Cooperstown.
The Houston Astros come to town for a four game long weekend series tomorrow. Would love to take the series.
We will be on a high as we host the Astros. Bullpen is ready, lineup is ready, and we may add Judge to the lineup also.
CC is a great leader that many of our youngsters should follow in his footsteps.
Yankee rotation for Houston is opener(Green), Paxton, Tanaka, Happ.
Isn't winning fun. Wins sure beat anything the stat frauds espouse.
LeMahieu has been one of the Yankees single greatest acquisitions. Another great WIN METHOD find.
Thank you CC for becoming a Yankee and being man you are.
Here comes the Judge.
Hopefully we set the Rays back on their heels a bit, and it carries forward in their next series or two.
WIN METHOD, your praise of CC Sabathia is built on solid ground. Good post, love ya,
Every once and awhile I read posts here hitting on Torres. Remember, he is only 22 and still learning and developing. Watch what he becomes when the light bulb goes off. Could be one of the greats over his career.
I hope the Yankees don't push Deivi too hard or too fast. Keep him in AA the rest of the season and let him bloom and grow at his own pace. Then next year think about AAA.
Deivi is pitching against older players with more experience. That alone is a feather in his cap. More so he is beating them while he learns.
Big four game series against one of he best teams in baseball starting tonight. 2-2 or better would be a success.
I'll live with 2-2, but winning this series will send a message.
It is fun waiting to see each games lineup. Then more fun watching the opposing pitchers trying to get through it.
Do not be surprised if there are rain issues again for tonight's game.

Team effort guys. Everyone contributes.
Game commencing on time.
0-0 after 2.
The WIN METHOD blog is back on line. There were major internet communications issues.
Sorry, but all posts were lost.
We missed one heck of a great bunch of Yankees games, and wins, and taking first place by storm.
Thank goodness we are back. I missed this blog so much. Yankees down 5-0 early take 7-6 lead after six.
Torres delivers walk-off RBI single in 9th for an 8-7 win and sweep of the series. Came back from being down 5-0.
Final. Yankees win 8-7 on walk off single from Torres. 9-1 home stand. Wonderful.
The 2019 season in ten game segments.
Games:
01- 10 ...... 5 - 5
11- 20 ...... 5 - 5 = 10-10
21- 30 ...... 7 - 3 = 17-13
31- 40 ...... 7 - 3 = 24-16
41- 50 ...... 9 - 1 = 33-17
51- 60 ...... 5 - 5 = 38-22
61- 70 ...... 5 - 5 = 43-27
71- 80 ...... 9 - 1 = 52-28
80 games played 20-20 in half of them and 32-8 in the half. .500 ball and .800 ball = .650 ball. Lets keep winning.
If the Yankees start losing, will the blog be shut down?
I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that Dinty Moore is a stat fraud. Well, it shows that the frauds read the WIN METHOD. I wonder if they still believe losers are better than the winners.
Welcome back WIN METHOD fans to getting your posts back in print.
Two days off as Yankees travel to England to play the bosux two games, Saturday and Sunday in London. Can we sweep?
Stanton back on the DL.
Deivi started Monday. Five innings 0 runs, 0 hits, 2 walks, 9 strikeouts.
Nice having a day or two off from baseball when you are a weeks worth of games in first place.
I hear centerfield in London is 385 feet.
Deivi has been throwing strikes the last two games.
Dinty Moore, WINS are all that matters, no other stat is in the ballpark.
If center field is only 385 feet, there may be a heck of a lot of home runs in London.
Second off day. Likely checking out the field and idiosyncrasies. Sun and shadows. Artificial bounces, etc. There is a lot of foul territory similar to Oakland.
Same in London as it here. Produce when it matters and you win.
Let's take two from the sux.
It looks like the Yankees will use an opener, Green, for Sunday's game.
Let's go Yankees.
1PM game our time Saturday and 10AM Sunday.
I have been exploring for a little bit for any high quality articles
or blog posts on this sort of space . Exploring in Yahoo
I finally stumbled upon this web site. Studying this info So i am happy to express that
I've a very just right uncanny feeling I discovered
exactly what I needed. I most without a doubt will make certain to do not fail to remember this site and give it a glance regularly.

Best defensive lineup right now. OK guys, you all know what is needed to win. Do it. Win game one and the trip is a success. The sux have to win both games for their trip to be a suxxess.
By now most of you here know I like numbers and stats. Unlike stat frauds who make up formulas and create fake stats, I only work in reality. So here is something to think about.
The Yanks have played 80 games, 52-28 for .650. The sux have played 82 games, 44-38 for .537.
For he second half of the season.....
If the Yanks play 49-33 ball .597 they will finish 101-61.
If the sux play 56-24 ball .700 they will finish 100-62.
Can the sux play .700 ball for the rest of the season?
Will the Yanks only play .597 ball for the rest of the season?
Cory, numbers can be fun and are exact when you do no make them up by creating formulas using man made numbers. A person can create any outcome they want when you use a made up number. Even in your post the outcome changes if either team wins or loses just two games. But the different outcome is based only on a fact.
Using what you posted, it would appear difficult for the sux to play .700 ball from here on in. But that is only determined by what happens on the field in real time.
Nice Cory. Thanks.
Cory, Thanks. I like things like that. It puts the game in perspective.
6-6 after 2.
With the 2 days off before this series and a day off after, you can play and use your pitching staff in both games like they are the 7th game of the World Series.
Yanks up 14-6 after 4.
Yankees putting a hurt on the bosux. 17-6 after five. Too bad it isn't in Boston.
sux fighting back. Yanks lead 17-13 thru 7. Baseball, the greatest game.
Final. Yankees win 17-13. One heck of a crazy game. Both teams had two 6 run innings each.
A big win.
Do it again tomorrow guys. Hope Voit is ok.
Tarpley going to open tomorrow.
Throw dirt on the sux.
As I website possessor I believe the articles here is very
excellent, thank you for your efforts.

A win puts a big hurt on the sux. Wins are what determines the best teams and players.
I do not like MLB teams playing games in foreign countries. Rob Manfred is a joke as baseball commissioner.
Hey very nice site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Superb ..
I'll bookmark your web site and take the feeds also?I am glad to find numerous useful info right here within the post, we need develop more techniques in this regard,
thanks for sharing.
Yanks down 4-2 after 2.
Yanks down 4-2 afer 4.
We need runs.
Yanks down 4-2 after 6.
Yankees send 14 batters to the plate in seventh inning scoring 9 runs for an 11-4 lead.
The Yankees just buried the sux with 9 runs in the 7th. Lead 11-4.
Yanks up 12-8 after 8.
Final. Yankees win 12-8. Sweep London series. Off day tomorrow traveling back to the greatest country in the world.
Sweet series. Two wins by 4 runs each. 29-21 total runs.
Paxton listed to start Tuesday game at Mets. At least the team doesn't have to travel far.
Paxton needs to get his act together and produce like a top starter consistently.
I am very pleased with the results of we got this weekend.
A job well done by our Yankees. So many contributed for the two wins over the sux. Averaged
1.61 runs per inning for 18 innings.
Hope everyone is getting R & R today. Need to be ready for Mets.
Deivi goes tonight for AA Trenton.

Maybe some frauds are seeing the light of their meaningless fake stats.
Juan Pablo Garcia, Thanks for the heads up.
Steve, except for the dumbest of stat frauds many are seeing that individual stats are pretty much useless. Can be good when used with common sense, but are useless in defining who the better players are. Only wins and winning can do that.
Six games this week and then the All-Star break. 2 with Mets and 4 with Rays. All away.
We need a good run of games from the starting rotation. It has been a mish-mash for too long.
27 year old MLB pitcher Tyler Skaggs was found dead today in his hotel room. Skaggs pitches for the LA Angels who are in Texas to play the Rangers tonight. Game has been canceled.
Deivi did not have it tonight. 4 innings, 7 hits, 3 walks, 3 runs. Still has a lot to learn.
Rather have Deivi in minors for a couple more years. Pitching in MLB isn't easy.
At this time I am ready to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming again to read other
news.
Back in action tonight visiting the Mets in Queens.
After what the Yankees did to the Rays last series, I believe the Rays will be lying in wait this four game series in Tampa. We need to arrive prepared for battle, the season is far from over.
A little over 56 hours left until the trade deadline. Keep the ammo dry.
Remember guys you still have work to do. This week and a half on the loser coast is not a vacation.
CC starts first game of three game A's series tonight. Keep us alive CC. Quality start.
Likely Montgomery will follow Green.
