Finally, it looks like we will have some semblance of a Major League Baseball season in 2020. Baseball for 2020 was halted by a Chinese oriented deadly virus that is traveling the world and killing massive amounts of innocent people. In March baseball was shut down as was most of America. As most of America regains its footing and is starting to recover, so is baseball.
The MLB owners and the MLBPA (players association) yesterday have agreed to play a partial 2020 season commencing around July 23-24. A second spring training will open July 1st, and each team will get in shape in their own home ballparks all across the nation. There is tentatively a 60 game season that will be played. There is always a probability what I post here may be amended by the owners, players, and baseball commissioner. Each division will play 40 games in their own division. That would make for 40 games, 10 with each rival in their division. Each team would also play 4 games against each team in their opposite division for 20 games making for the total of a 60 game season. The divisions will play each other geographically limiting travel. East vs east, central vs central, and west vs west. The regular season will end the last week of September. As of now each division winner and two wild cards in each league will make the playoffs. That is the same as the 162 game season. The inferior AAAA national league will use the designated hitter for their games for the first time in baseball history. The American League has used the designated hitter since April 6, 1973 when Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees became the league's first ever designated hitter. Also extra inning games will be started with a runner on second base which makes a mockery of the game and is a sham that demeans the game of baseball. Not all changes are bad, however this change is bad.
The playoffs will conclude the season as usual hopefully ending in October. In the end as it always has and hopefully always will the best players and best teams will reach the playoffs and then advance to the final series, the world's greatest sports event the WORLD SERIES.
The season without question will be shorter and different. Look at it this way, every one of the sixty games becomes far more important and losing streaks will eliminate teams fast, while a big winning streak can carry a team right into the playoffs. The players will need to get their heads fully into the season from the first game on. The fun part is the WIN METHOD becomes even more important. The players who produce when it matters most and do it the most often will lead their team through the season and into the playoffs. Hopefully all goes well healthwise and the season can be completed.
No matter what, happens and as always, LETS GO YANKEES!
PS....thank you all, WIN METHOD fans from all over the world for your unwavering support, your comments, and for being the most intelligent baseball fans in the world. The ignorance of the stat frauds doesn't exist here. They have no game. They are losers who love losing players.

We have seven inning games today.
911
WIN METHOD baseball guys, one game at a time. Everybody produces when it matters most.
911 Never forget............
Yanks take quick 1st inning 3-0 lead on LeMahieu solo and Gardner 2 run Ballantyne blasts.

Yanks up 5-0 after 2.

Yanks up 5-0 after 5.

Final. Yankees win 6-0. Cole complete game two hitter. LeMahieu, Gardner, Higashioka each with home runs. Notable achievement in futility, meatball 0 for 2 but failed to score from third base on a passed ball that went all the way to the backstop with no rebound. The catcher had to go all the way to the backstop to get it. Sad, no offence, no defense and no speed. Game two in 45 minutes.
911 ---------- Now the key is to not give away the second game. Concentrate, game is over.

Sadly, very sadly, one of the most useless players in baseball is in the lineup again. Play around the meatball again guys.
911 Never forget, never ever.
Yankees with a 4 run 1st lead 4-1. But meatball the black hole strikes out again.
--- 911 ---
Yanks up 4-1 after 3.
Meatball with the score 10-1 Yankees, gets an utterly meaningless single.
Final. Yankees win 10-1. Tanaka five innings allowing the one run and he earns the win. Voit with two 3 run home runs. Andujar a big 2 RBI double early in game when it mattered most. Yankees win both ends of the double header and only use two bullpen pitchers, Cessa and Kriske one scoreless inning each.
1 PM game tomorrow with Monty starting. Lets earn another win. Everybody contributes.
911
Monty needs to regain his form and command. We could use a really good bounceback start from him tomorrow.
Tanaka was a little rough in the first inning but from the second thru the fifth he retired twelve in a row. Cole was finally Cole. Now if we can only close the deal with Monty and Happ.
Several bats have come alive and that helps also.

All good but for the 7 hole where the meathead meatball occupies again. So the team has to play around the black hole yet again. On the other hand meatball may be hot, he did get a hit last night when the Yankees were leading 10-1 and only one inning left in the game.
Boone either knows something about meatball that no one else knows, has something up his sleeve, or fill in the blank __________________________.
Well, Monty got thru the 1st inning.
Yanks up 1-0 after 3.
1-1 after 6.
All even at one after seven innings as Yankees not producing when it counts so far.
Chapman on for the 9th tied at 1.
Extra innings with minor league MLB brain dead commissioner rules. 1-1
Final. Yankees win 2-1. Luke Voit sac fly in 10th for the win. Monty with a great game and the bullpen with 3 1/3 innings. Keep it going guys.
I'm glad we won this game. Didn't want to give the O's anything back.
Happ tomorrow, and another day game at 1pm, for the four game sweep.
Happ started this run of good pitching and wins, keep it going.
Sanchez's at bats did look good today.

Frazier has batted in the cleanup spot for almost three weeks straight now. Meatball has hit the ball for two straight days now. Could he (don't say it) be getting hot.
Shouldn't Torres be DH instead of Meatball? Anyday, anytime?
NJYANKEE, no question. Using Torres at DH gives him a day off in the field and there is an off day tomorrow to boot. No way a very good hitter should sit for your worst hitter. Boone can give me any reason he wishes I would call Barbra Streisand on it.
WIN METHOD fans allow me the liberty of speaking for Boone......If I don't play the foul meatball meathead he will snivel to the brass and I could get fired or I can play him since he did make contact the last couple of games in the hope he gets hot and helps the team somehow.
Lets sweep the O's today.
Meatball is back, K's in first at bat. Yanks down 1-0 with 2 innings played.
1-1 after 4.
Yankees fail to score with bags full and one out in fourth. Higgy and Estrada pop outs. Still 1-1.
Turn around is fair play. Happ pitches out of a 1st & 3rd nobody out jam in 5th with ground out fielders choice getting running at plate and then Happ with a strikeout and throw out double play on runner trying to steal 3rd.
Otavino in for sixth with 1-1 tie.
1-1 after 7.
Breaking the tension of todays game, here is a fun fact.....///.....For the first time in MLB history Luke Voit became the only batter to lead off any game with a sacrifice fly. And as I dotted the sentence with a period Gleyber Torres hits a two out two RBI double to put the Yankees in front 3-1 in the eighth. Meatball concludes the inning with his second K of the game going 0 for 2 but did have two walks.
Final. Yankees win 3-1. Happ five innings allowing just one run. Otavino 2 outs, Holder 1 out, Green 3 outs, Britton 3 outs, and Chapman 3 outs go the final four innings of scoreless ball. Wade win a game tying HR and Torres a pinch hit game winning double for the win.
How about this for second guessing. If Boone had started Torres today the Yankees could have won the game earlier and not had to gone thru the histrionics of a late inning pinch hit win.
OR
Boone is a genius keeping Torres out and using him just when he needed a big when it matters most game winning hit.
Another nice win today. Amazing how a team could look so good for the first 20 games, look so bad for the next 20 games, and then so far maybe look so good for the last 20 games.
Off day tomorrow and then three night games at home with Toronto. Deivi, Cole, and Tanaka.
The Yankees playing winning baseball is a lot more fun than them playing losing baseball.
The Blue Jay series is like playoff baseball.
Was a very nice Yankee baseball weekend.
Off day today then 13 games to go, then the playoffs.
If we take the next series with the Jays we will move back into the second spot in the AL East.
Come the playoffs it really doesn't make any difference who we play because no matter who we play and or when we have to win to advance or go home. If we can't beat any or every team we won't be the best.
Yankee starting pitching of Deivi, Cole, and Tanaka sets up very nicely for the three game Toronto series. Now just have to win it.
It looks as if Urshela, Loaisiga, Judge, and Stanton will all be back at some point this week and building to a full workload next week barring any setbacks, re-injury, new injury, or who knows what else.
Bloom and grow.
This will mark the first time Deivi will have faced a MLB team for the second time. And it is in only a week. A good test for him tonight.
Lets just win another series. One series at a time for the rest of 2020.
Izy Hernandez, great post. If that happens the Yankees will be world champions. Several other teams will do their best to not let that happen.
By the way, all you hispanics out there....VOTE TRUMP and VOTE ALL REPUBLICAN.

Good news, Urshela and Stanton back in lineup. Bad news, Meatball in lineup. Judge still in holding pattern.
Guy, you missed Torres not in lineup. He has a quad issue.
Ford and Andujar sent to Scranton.
Looks like lineup is stronger.
Yanks up 7-1 after 2.
Yankees play around the black hole Meatball who strikes out, yet again, in second inning for the second out and score seven runs for a 7-1 lead thru two innings.
This game could be defined as laugher by us old school fans. Yankees lead 12-1 after three.
Yanks up 16-3 after 4.
Yankees up 19-3 after seven innings. Deivi goes seven innings giving up 3 runs in another strong start. So far so good for Deivi. Yankees move into second place in division.
Final. Yankees 20-6. Deivi seven innings for the win. Everything done after the third inning is relatively meaningless WIN METHOD wise. Score was 12-1 after three. Voit with two home runs. There was a lot more so go read the boxscore if you wish.
Cole tomorrow to take the series.
VOTE TRUMP and VOTE ALL REPUBLICAN. Save America.
MAGA 2020, Hear, hear.
Toronto will see Cole tonight and he will be better than Deivi was last night.
I love the count-up gadget on the blog page. Looks like about 1/2 million viewers everyday. No matter how many visit or not, the WIN METHOD blog is the best Yankee baseball blog, site, or forum in existence, bar none.
If we win tonight and tomorrow we will put a small cushion between us and and the Jays.

Judge back Meatball in again.
Torres still out. If Cole pitches his game the Yanks won't need many runs and the way Voit is going he's been a one man wrecking crew.
Lets go Yankees.
DJ lead off HR again. 1-0 Sixth time this season.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Paxton out for the season.
Higashioka with a 2 run HR in third for 3-0 lead. Yet Meatball still is foolishly written in to the lineup.
Yanks up 7-0 after 5.
Thru six innings Yankee home runs....LeMahieu 2, Higashioka 2, Frazier 1, Voit 1. Score 11-1.
Higashioka hits his third HR in game. Yanks up 13-1 after seven.
Final. Yankees win 13-2. Cole dominant seven innings allowing one run for the win. The offense, Higashioka 3 home runs, LeMahieu 2 home runs, and 1 home run each for Frazier and Voit.
I think you have to keep Higashioka catching Cole for the rest of the year. Three home runs or not. Cole looks much more comfortable throwing to him. Add on that Higashioka is a better catcher offensively and defensively and he at least runs out his at bats. Meatball is just a futile tub of lard.
Were these last two games football games. The Giants and Jets on Sunday scored 33 points total in their games combined. The Yankees scored 33 runs in their two baseball games.
Nathan Riley, the rest of the year should surely include the playoffs.
Tanaka goes for the sweep try tomorrow.
Swwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppp! Do it!
With all the bigger name players back or even at half back, WHY would Boone ever use Meatball the cesspool, (the worst player on the team), as a designated hitter EVER, EVER, EVER!!!
Heck, Kratz came in to play first base for Voit last night late in the game, got an at bat and lined a single into left field. And Kratz is make a lot of contact and is hitting over .300 albeit in limited playing time. Also Kratz is a better catcher defensively than Meatball, and he hustles.
Boy oh boy the guys have really been ravaging opposing pitchers lately. And that is with the foul meatball black hole in the lineup.
Will Meatball Sanchez be in the lineup tonight???????

Torres is in. And to the dismay of so many Yankee fans the meatball, the waste, Sanchez is in the lineup again. And anyone on the bench and a some in Scranton are not batting tonight in the 8 hole who are better than meatball.
Boone just doesn't give up or he doesn't know when to give up.
Yankees score two in the first and take a 2-0 lead.
Yankees score 7 runs on 5 home runs in 4th inning to take a 9-2 lead. Gardner, LeMahieu, Voit, Stanton, and Torres.
Yanks up 9-2 after 4.
First time in baseball history. The record for the most home runs by one team in three consecutive games since baseball began a very long time ago was 16 and it was held by five teams. Coming into this game the Yankees had 13 home runs in the last two games. So far in this game the Yankees have hit 5 home runs and have set a new three consecutive game home run record of at least 18 and still playing. Another baseball record that may never be broken???
Tanaka goes seven. Allows 3 runs. Yanks lead 9-3.
Meatball hits HR in 7th and that gives Yankees 19 over three games and extends all time MLB record to 19.
Final. Yankees win 10-7. Tanaka seven innings for the win. Holder with a horrid 9th inning of relief forces Boone to bring Chapman in for the save. Yankees hit six more home runs and nineteen over the three games for an all time MLB record.
Fifth series of 10 games each. One more to go.
01-10 8-2
11-20 6-4 = 14-6
21-30 3-7 = 17-13
31-40 4-6 = 21-19
41-50 8-2 = 29-21
This series is what the Yankees needed and very likely insures a trip to the 2020 playoffs.
Holder throws a lousy effort and gives Jays a shot in ninth inning. First really bad effort by a Yankee pitcher in a long time.
Yankees head to Boston for three game weekend series. Monty, Happ, and Deivi the three Yankee starting pitchers.
Three more series left in 60 game season. Only wins get the best teams and best players to the playoffs. Hope we win them all.
Any game now we may get to see the full unadulterated lineup.
The Yankees are facing a left handed starting pitcher tonight. How about this lineup......
1.LeMahieu......2B
2.Judge.........RF
3.Voit..........1B
4.Urshela.......3B
5.Torres........SS
6.Stanton.......DH
7.Frazier.......LF
8.Higashioka....C
9.Hicks.........CF
Oh my God!!!
Deb F, that is one heck of a lineup. I think I would go ecstatic if Boone comes up with that lineup tonight. He will probably ruin it with meatball in it and/or resting someone.
Fantastic lineup.

Almost Deb F. The cancerous blackhole plays again.
Deb F's lineup is unquestionably far better than Boone's. The one player difference gives her an edge in that category and her lineup construction wins out over Boone's also.
0-0 after 2.
Yanks down 3-0 after 4.
Yanks down 4-2 after 7.
Meatball with a two out HR in 9th ties game at 4. It looks like his bat has finally come alive.
Extra innings, minor league style, tied at four.
Yanks and sux both score a run in 11th. Going to the 12th at 5-5.
Final. Yankees win 6-5 in 12 innings. LeMahieu RBI double game winning hit. Loaisiga winning pitcher.
Nice comeback last night. Down 4-0 after six innings the Yankee relievers pitched 7 1/3 innings giving up one run and the Yankee hitters woke up from the seventh inning on nibbling away at the sux relievers scoring 2 in the seventh, one in the eighth, and one in the ninth to tie the game at four and take the game into extra innings. Each time scored one run in the eleventh and in the twelfth the Yankees scored again and won 6-5.
Monty did not really pitch as bad as his line of allowing 4 runs in 4 2/3 innings suggest.
Is it possible Gary Meatball Sanchez is getting right/hot at just the right time? Would be good for the team.
I guess our backup catcher won't start a game until tomorrows day game after a night game.
Of the six Yankee runs last night only one was via a home run. Nice. Many when it matters most run scoring hits.
The lineup Deb F posted yesterday with the present roster is better than any lineup Yankee manager Aaron Boone has ever made out. By far, there is not one thing I could say I would even consider changing with Debs lineup.

No Sanchez. I guess Ford is strictly a fill in now.
Go figure. Boone plays Sanchez game after game while Sanchez lowers the interstate route he is traveling game after game. Sanchez finally puts together a good game or two, particularly last nights two big hits when it mattered most and then Boone sits him when he gets hot.
Lets go Yankees.
Yanks score two in first, sux coming up.
Yanks up 2-0 after 2
Yanks up 4-0 after 4.
Happ has looked fantastic thru four.
Yanks up 7-0 after 6. Congratulations Quay Ho.

Happ 113 pitches, 8 innings, 0 runs. Brilliant game. Yanks lead 7-0.
Final. Yankees win 8-0. Happ with probably Yankees best game from a starting pitcher this season. Frazier a two run home run and 6 other runs scored by hits and sac flies. That is ten straight win and kudos to WIN METHOD long time poster Quay Ho who predicted ten consecutive wins for the Yankees.
Some sloppy base running was the only negative from tonight's Yankee effort. Keep alert guys.
Good call Quay Ho.
Ten straight Yankee wins for Quay Ho. Fantastic.
We won this series and Deivi starts tomorrow for a sweep try. Two more series left and then the playoffs.
Tres bien Quay Ho.
Deivi this afternoon, 1PM game for sweep of sux.
I can just imagine what Deivi may be learning from veteran pitchers like Happ, Tanaka, and Cole. They are different, they have been through the big leagues, they have different talents, pitches, and wisdom to pass along to a 21 year old with talent and the willingness to learn. What gem WIN METHOD found.

Judge, Urshela off. At least Sanchez is batting where he should bat all the time.
Wade is really a nice utility guy to have around. Fastest base runner on the team. Backup shortstop and second baseman plus either corner outfield position. Decent situational hitter, willing to take walks, and occasional power. Perfect nine hole batter for this team.
Erica Nuyens, what you said is what helps youngsters willing to learn bloom and grow.
Quay Ho, great job and congrats on the 10 game win streak. Can we do it again, but sooner than eight years apart.
Kudos for Tyler Wade. He is the only Yankee player to have played in every of the Yankees 31 wins so far this season. Conversely, the only Yankee player to have played in every of the Yankees 21 losses is Aaron Hicks.
I don't know if it's just me but the TV coverage from Fenway sucks this series just like their team.
Yankees down 2-0 after 2.
Sanchez can't catch.
Could Sanchez hot game be a one and done. Grounds into a DP to kill a rally and is thrown out at first by 40 feet as he jogs to first base.
Deivi doesn't have it today. Has given up six runs in 3 innings. Big hole Yankees need to climb out of. Inning not over yet.
Yanks down 6-0 after 4.
Wade gets first Yankee hit of game and scores only run og game so far. Yankees trail 6-1 mid sixth. Cessa throws two scoreless innings. Holder now in.
Me thinks winning streak is over. Yankees down 9-1 thru seven.
Yankee catcher Kratz is pitching the ninth inning. Fly out, HR, HBP, ground out, ground out.
Final. Yankees lose 10-2. Deivi did not pitch well. Yankees did not hit well. Perfect storm for ending the win streak.
Yankee pitchers for Toronto series in Buffalo. Monday TBD, Tuesday Cole, Wednesday Tanaka, Thursday TBD.
Go Yankees.
King may start tonight in what appears to be a bullpen game.
When and where are the games?

Boone knows who's playing but doesn't know who's pitching. Top lineup? Not as good as Deb F's.
Thank you all posters and WIN METHOD fans for your comments and support. And I do believe the Yankees will win 10 games in a row in a shorter time span than this 10 game win streak took.
King is Yankee opener.
Sanchez again, kills rally and possible big inning for Yanks in second. One run in, two out and one out, Sanchez on first pitch he sees grounds into a double play. He did run all out to first base and was out by 10-15 feet.
Yanks up 1-0 after 2.
Blue Jays have hit, 2 maybe 3 balls hard and have 9 runs. A lot of ground balls finding holes. Yanks have hit hard about 5 shots and only have 1 run to show for it. Jays all the hits bunched and when it matters.
Yanks down 9-1 after 4.
When Meatball hit into the DP and killed the inning in the second it looks as if the air was taken out of the Yankees. But there is time yet.
Yankees trail 11-2 after 7.
Final. Yankees lose 11-5. King and Loaisiga give up 9 runs in 3rd and 4th innings. That was it. Yankee bats showed little until scoring 3 meaningless runs in the 9th.
Meatball 0-4 again. One thing I noticed he was running out his ground ball outs. His fully running out does not mean much since he is so pathetically slow. Boone or someone had to have gotten his ear. Play Higgy already.
Cole starts tonight to try to even Blue Jay series.
This may be Cole's last start before the playoffs. A week off.
The stat frauds are going crazy whining about who they think the Yankees should and shouldn't play in the playoffs. To put it simply if a team feels it can't beat every other team in the playoffs they aren't the best in baseball and the team that wins every one of the series of games they play will be the best team with the best players in baseball.
Someplace along ant line and hopefully sooner than later Judge and Stanton need to start barreling up the baseball and hitting the ball hard in every direction. When that happens the Yankee lineup will be devastating. Voit and Lemahieu have been carrying the team for far too long by themwelves.

Best is Higashioka catching. Lineup could use some work.
No black hole in lineup + Judge wakes up + Cole solid game = Yankee win.
How smart is Yankee ace Gerrit Cole, he wants Hiroshioka as his personal catcher, so he gets a catcher who can catch pitched balls, call a better game, is not a black hole in the lineup, and a catcher that hustles all the time. It's a win win win win.
Yanks up 2-0 after 2.
Yanks up 3-1 after 4.
Yanks up 7-1 after 6.
Yanks up 10-1 after 8.
Final. Yankees win 12-1. As posted earlier today"""""""""No black hole in lineup + Judge wakes up + Cole solid game = Yankee win.""""""""" Hiroshioka with a great game offensively and defensively + Judge with 3 hits + Cole 1 run over 7 innings = Yankee win.
Judge hit the ball hard four times tonight and had three hits. He is getting to where he needs to be. Now it's Stanton's turn to get on board.
Tanaka tonight for what should also be his last regular season start and tune up before the playoffs.
Where are all those stat frauds who said they wouldn't shouldn't play baseball this year. The season would never get finished after it started. The playoffs would never be played. And the liberal scum who wanted everything shut down. In other words bury the idiots of this season. Vote TRUMP and save America from the garbage who will destroy it with socialist tyranny.
There is a good amount of time for Stanton to get his swing and contact right before the playoffs. Agree, Judge is just about there. As with any team, if the key impact players are right it makes a teams chances that much better. The playoffs is where they separate the best from the best.
Higashioka is hitting the best he has ever hit. There is no way on earth that the meatball Sanchez should start another game. You eliminate Sanchez you eliminate a black hole, a dreg, and a when he is on base a traffic jam. Sanchez can't run, can't take an extra base and is no help to this team compared to either Higgy or Kratz.
MAGA2020, they are hiding in their parents basements planning violent protests, destruction, and harm to civilized Americans.

The Yankees scored 12 runs last night and 0 were on home runs. Winning in the playoffs will be the teams that produce the most when it matters the most in the game defining situations.
