Hello WIN METHOD Yankee fans, the smartest baseball fans on the face of the earth. It has been a long time since I last blog posted. However, there have been comments within the blog from me. So here we go for 2021.
First, the Yankees will be in the playoffs again this season, but they also will play in the World Series. In talking with players, they are not happy with what they have achieved the past few seasons. They feel they have something to prove and want to do it now. Most of the players have undertaken a new or modified training program instituted by the training staff. Look for less injuries and less severe injuries this season. That will be a step forward and a plus for the team as a whole.
Second, Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon both feel very optimistic with what each will contribute to the Yankees success this season. Both players believe their injuries are behind them. As of now, the Yankee starting rotation looks like it will have four men in the first four spots right now. Cole, Kluber, Taillon, and Montgomery. The fifth spot will be determined in March. The guys who do not make the fifth spot will either be sent to AAA Scranton or long relievers on the big team. Then the big guy Louie Louie Severino will make his return to the Bronx in June. The pitching staff looks solid and has many fall back arms to rely on. The bullpen remains solid and strong, also with several young arms looking to make an impact.
Third, the lineup will be solid again, more important, will be healthier. Runs will be put on the board. The biggest question mark will be at catcher. Catcher Gary Sanchez has been a black hole in the Yankee lineup recently, ala afraud in the past. Gary Sanchez is being mentored and talked to by coaches and trainers. Sanchez feels it is helping him, As the season starts, we will all see if it has. Sanchez himself is the only person who can really make it happen. It is up to him. A big WIN METHOD season from Sanchez would be a big help to the lineup and the team. If he does what he has been doing the last couple of seasons, Gary's days could be short lived.
As you all know I always read all posts by all of you who post here. Looking at the numbers of views recorded on the WIN METHOD blog there are also an enormous number of fans who read the blog consistently. You fans will take this blog, the number one Yankee baseball blog in the world over the one billion mark somewhere around June 1st this year. You are the people who take this blog in the direction you want it to go on a daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever time frame basis. This past year, we saw a very shortened baseball season, we saw a disgusting Chinese created virus, spread throughout the world by the most foul Chinese government, killing millions of people from all countries across the globe. We had a presidential election here in America. The election was the most corrupt election in the history of America stolen by the most corrupt politicians in America's history. We now have the most corrupt politicians in America's history running our country. They will do their best to destroy America. Hopefully, you the people will do whatever you need to do to stop the destruction.
It is now back to baseball and a great Yankee season. Thank all of you for reading and posting your views and opinions in this blog. You are the people who have made the WIN METHOD blog the best and greatest Yankee baseball blog, forum, or site in the world. We here are WIN METHOD will continue to have no signups, no ask for no personal information from you, no advertisements, and no bans of anyone. You, your views, and your opinions do not get canceled here. Unlike big tech, other baseball forums or sites which control you by banning or canceling you, here, that will never happen.
One more thing before I conclude. I would like to recognize the life and pay my respects to RUSH HUDSON LIMBAUGH III who passed away February 17th. Rush was the greatest radio and political commentator of all time. Rush's radio career spanned over thirty years. Rush's show was three hours a day, five days week, fifty-two weeks a year. Rush was right 99.8% of the time and one of the finest American patriots who believed in freedom and pursuit of happiness of every single American. Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten.
It is baseball time again. Lets look forward to a great season and as always LETS GO YANKEES.

Hope we can celebrate a billion with a Yankee win today.
Congratulations WIN METHOD. You created one heck of forum. You give the people (all people} a chance to speak their minds, thoughts, and views.
I watched the view counter go up every couple of days and knew it would be today or tomorrow. No matter, a great achievement with contributions from fans all over the world.
One billion, and getting stronger and stronger. Well done.
I come here and read the blog every chance I get. I like the positivity.
Lets go Yankees, a million views deserves a win.
Nice to see the best rise to the top here. Now it's up to the Yankees to win it all.

I also knew one billion was coming. It is an amazing fete. And WIN METHOD does it for free. Doesn't try to sell us anything, and then thanks us for reading and posting. Can't beat this forum anywhere, anyhow.
All hail WIN METHOD.
I've been banned from several sites. Not anymore. This is the only place I post.
Texas's starting pitcher is probably wondering if he is in the majors or AAA.
Better late than never. Nice post WIN METHOD. You are a fine man. Love ya'
My God, what a lineup. We have better players in Scranton.
Thank you WIN METHOD.
Six of the nine starters in the Yankee lineup are batting under .200.
Hooray for the WIN METHOD BLOG.
Gracious WIN METHOD.
Great job by all who read and post here on WIN METHOD. I too have been banned by the poor quality and poorly moderated forums.
WIN METHOD, Nice job acknowledging your followers. Great blog you got here.
Best blog for Yankee baseball I have ever come across.
0-0 after 2. Thank you WIN METHOD.
Yankees take 5-4 lead thru 5.
WIN METHOD by starting this blog from nothing gave an outlet and a message board for a lot of people who were not allowed to speak their beliefs about baseball on the fake stat blogs with moderators that banned anyone they wanted to for no reason at all. Many of us found a home and refuge here to talk real baseball and what it takes to win. I came here from the now dead baseballfever site.
The Yankees do celebrate the WIN METHOD billionth viewer day with a 7-4 win coming back from an early 3-0 deficit.
Final. Yankees win 7-4. Yes, the Yankeeeeeeees winnnnnnnnnnnn. Taillon gives up all four runs, but the bullpen was flawless and earned the win, hold, and save. Everyone in the lineup contributed and the five run inning was a thing of beauty with production when it mattered most. Series is even at one each, with two games to go.
I am pretty sure a lot of fans thought the Yankees would not win tonight's game, but they did. Baseball games are won on the field and not on stat fraud paper. Odor sure is a sparkplug for this team. A strong left handed bat that is needed.
Love Yankee baseball and I love this blog.
Nice win last night. Now to do it again and again. I wonder if there ever was another Yankee baseball blog with a billion views.
Kluber goes today in the third game of this four game series.
Appropriate music title for the WIN METHOD blog....We Are The Champions.
Several sub .200 hitters got big hits last night contributing to the win. Gardner had two solid hits and made several fine defensive plays in centerfield.

0-0 after 2.
0-0 after 4.
Yanks up 2-0 after 6.
Kluber with a no hitter. Wade with the game winning hit. Yanks win 2-0.
Yanks win 2-0 as Kluber throws a no hitter. Great game to watch.
Final. Yankees win 2-0. Kluber pitches no hitter allowing just one base runner on a walk. Tyler Wade's RBI triple wins the game. What a gift for billion viewed blog.
NO HITTER......Corey Kluber pitches a no hit game as the YANKEES win 2-0.
Hope everyone got to watch game tonight. Kluber threw a no hitter as Yankees win 2-0,
What a game. Yankees hit into five double plays. Kluber pitches a no hitter. Wade is the hitting hero. Yankees win 2-0.
Yanks lead series 2 games to 1. German starts tomorrow and Yankees can win series with a win.
Nice win with icing on the cake winning a no hitter.
Hope we can finish off this series with a win and take 3 of the 4 games.
Kluber made up for the last three games as far as the starters are concerned.
Kluber is a pitcher. He has 'stuff' like many of the great pitchers of the past. No over powering fast ball, just ball movement and throwing it where he wanted to throw it. Swings and misses.
What I think makes a no hit game extra exciting is the game also being on the line. A one or two run lead is always just a bloop and a blast from turning the game around.
A gem from Kluber last night. Lets look deeper into the game. Kluber's no hitter was an individual achievement, but what he did pretty much made sure the Yankees would WIN the game if they scored a run. The WIN is the goal. The Yankees got their run when super utility player Wade was called to duty to replace right fielder LaMarre who injured his hamstring running to first base halfway thru the game. Wade went in to play right field. When Wade came to bat for the first time in the game he made his presence felt. Higashioka opened the 6th inning with a walk, Wade then lined a triple into the left center field gap scoring Higashioka. LeMahieu then scored Wade with a sacrifice fly for the Yankees second run and the only runs of the game. Wade produced in a game with little to no production from both offenses. Wade's hit gave the Yankees the WIN.
Lets go Yankees.

Judge off today,
Urshella and Judge both with pinch hit RBI singles in the 7th when it matters most give the Yankees a 2-0 lead after seven. German goes seven innings of shutout ball, but he did give up some hits.
Final. Yankees win 2-0. German seven inning of shutout ball for the win. Green shutout 8th for the hold and Chapman shutout 9th for the save. Urshella and Judge with pinch hit rbi singles for the only runs of the game. Bad issue of game was the Yankees had three base runners thrown out today. Come on guys. Yanks take series 3 games to 1.
Two shutouts in a row. 16 innings from the starters and 2 innings from the bullpen.
Our New York Yankees now head home to host a weekend series with the Chicago White Sox. Slated to start for the Yankees are Montgomery, Cole, and Taillon.
We haven't lost a series in a couple of weeks. Super if we take this series against the White Sox. They are a pretty good team.
Today Judge got his first base hit of his career as a pinch hitter.
Now the bar is set and the three starters who had poor starts last time out have to match Kluber and German. Just do it.
I will not be surprised in the least to see Monty pitch a very strong game tomorrow.
Hits when they matter most can come from any player at any time to help their team win a game.
There individual stat don't define winning, only win defines winning.
Success breeds success. Pitchers on a team are a fraternity. They try to help and learn from each other. Cole and Kluber are veterans with great success. Now pass it on to your teammates.

Key to game, Monty keeping us in it. Lets go YANKEES
Lets help out Monty, score some runs.
Aaron Hicks will be getting wrist surgery and is out for the season. No major loss. Gardner is better than Hicks.
Pretty solid lineup. All it takes is hits when it matters most. WIN METHOD fans know this, stat frauds don't. Why? because stat frauds are idiots.
At least we have Gardner, and he is just starting to produce and making good contact. A solid signing for a veteran presence.
0-0 after 4.
No score thru six innings.
0-0 after 6.
Torres opposite field HR gives Yankees 1-0 lead after 7.
Monty goes seven dominant shutout innings and leaves leading with a 1-0 lead. Loaisiga in for the eighth.
Final. Yankees win 2-1 on walk of single by Torres in ninth. Torres had both Yankee rbi's. Montgomery with seven brilliant innings takes a no decision. Chapman gets the win after getting out of a 2 men on no outs situation in ninth on a round the horn triple play. Another thrilling game. Downer..Yanks in 8th men on 1st and 3rd no outs do not score as LeMahieu and Voit fail when it mattered most. Judge and Urshella both with singles to lead off the 9th inning setting up Torres who did produce when it mattered most to win the game.
The Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. 2-1 in one heck of a game again. Three straight games now where a Yankee starter allowed no runs.
For the first time in modern baseball history, two starting pitchers in the same game both had double digit strikeouts, both allowed no walks and both allowed no runs. Rodon and Monty.
Cole now has to match what his four co-starters have done. Cole starts tomorrows afternoon game.
We are seeing some fine baseball being played by the Yankees right now.
Two chances to take this series. Get it done tomorrow. We are do to score some runs.
Turn a triple play and a walk off win in the same inning. I bet that has never been done before.

LeMahieu with an off day. Runs, runs, runs. Get several.
I believe the Yankees should be ready to score more than two runs today.
Same old same old, 0-0 after 3.
Yanks up 3-0 after 4.
Evan Donahue, I believe you called it and you were right. 6 runs so far and still batting in sixth.
The last four Yankee starters have each pitched seven of more scoreless innings. The last time that happened was 89 years ago.
Final. Yankees win 7-0. Cole seven scoreless innings. Wilson and Cessa a scoreless inning each for the shutout. Torres hitting star with four RBI's. Yanks take another series and have a sweep chance tomorrow.
Andujar is starting to make some solid contact. Torre has come off the DL red hot. Bullpen mainstays got the day off. Many positives.
Taillon gets his turn tomorrow. Why not?
Time for a reality check WIN METHOD fans. When you are playing your worse, you are not that bad, and when you are playing your best, you are not that good.
As a very old timer baseball fan I can't believe how many things I am seeing this week that never happened before in baseball and or have extremely rarely ever happened.
There is also the LAW OF AVERAGES.
If you watch the replay of Kluber's no hitter and you see the Yankees jumping the fence in front of the dugout as they run to the mound to congratulate Kluber, you will see Cole as one of the first players if not the first to lead the pack of happy campers.
MLB has played just around 30%+ of the regular season so far and the take away I see is the AL East and NL West are the two best divisions. The AL East with four teams and the NL West with three teams. Still a long way to go.
If we score runs like yesterday, Taillon will not have to be great, just a quality start should do the trick.

Sweet lineup. When Stanton back, Frazier to the bench?
Come on Yankees, earn the sweep. Challenge the hitters Taillon, with ball movement and strikes. Make them swaing.
Yanks up 2-0 after 2.
Andujar has looked pretty good in left field so far. Hope I didn't jinx him.
Yankees lead 4-3 after seven innings. Taillon went five scoreless innings in a solid outing.
Well rested bullpen has given up 3 runs in two inning breathing life into the Sox. Peralta give up 2 runs and Green 1 run.
Yankees win 5-4 on Judge walk off walk with bases loaded.
Final. Yankees win 5-4. A lot happened today, good and not so good. Taillon went five scoreless innings to be fifth consecutive Yankee starter to not allow a run. Taillon leaves with a 3-0 lead. Yankee starters, no runs allowed streak is now 35 innings over five games for an average of seven innings per game. Yankee bullpen did not hold up their end. Peralta gives up 2 run HR in 6th. Yankees come back with run in 6th and lead 4-2 after 6. Green allows solo HR in 7th and Yankees lead 4-3 after 7. Loaisiga with a shutout 8th and Yankees lead 4-3 after 8. Chapman in for the close and gives up HR for a 4-4 tie with Yanks coming t0 bat. Bottom of ninth, Frazier single, Frazier steals second as Gardner Ks. LeMahieu gets intentional walk, Wade single loads bases with one out. Judge walks in winning run. Yankees win 5-4 and sweep series.
What a game. Up, up, up, up, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, game over, Yankees win 5-4.
Sweet win today, Chicago never gave up. Baseball is a funny game. Five starters don't allow a run over 35 innings. But three Yankee relievers today each allowed a run or more in one inning of work each.
Off day tomorrow then we host Blue Jays for three games at the Stadium, with Kluber, German, and Monty on the docket.
Everyone is contributing. Frazier and Wade with the two 9th inning hits, DJ intentional walk, and Judge with the walk-off walk.
It's a long season and there will be ups and downs for all teams. At the end the best teams and players will go to the playoffs. The others will go home and watch.
Off day to relax, just get ready for Toronto on Tuesday. No let downs or letups.
Considering the start to the Yankee season things don't look to bad now. Let's go Yankees.
Very impressed with Torres since his return, offensively and defensively.
During these trying times it is nice to see the Yankees doing so well.
The Yankees are producing more recently when it matters most and not with home runs, but meaningful walks and hits. Results equals more wins.
It's nice having a day off.
Kluber starts tomorrow's first game of the three game series with Toronto coming off a no hit game.
Lets win another series and keep moving forward.

As always win the first game.
Kluber streak over. Gives up two run home run in third.
Yanks down 3-0 after 4.
Yankees trail 5-1 thru 7.
Final. Yankees lose 6-2. Kluber struggled and only goes three innings for the loss. Yank bullpen flat. Torres error gives up 2 unearned runs. Sanchez looked like 'meatball' going a hapless 0-4. Higashioka hit the ball hard with two hits.
Lackluster performance tonight.
Kluber left last nights game after three innings because he felt tightness in his shoulder. Let's see what happens.
German starts tonight to try to even series with Toronto.
From what has been passed along to me is Kluber issue is very minor.
Hoping German tames the Blue Jay bats and the Yankee bats wake up.

Tonight's game has been canceled due to incoming weather. A double header tomorrow starting at 4 PM.
First evaluation and prognosis for Kluber, four weeks off, and then four weeks throwing. Out for June and July likely. I wouldn't be surprised that the Yankees and Kluber, knowing that he can shut down bats and be a top of the line pitcher, are limiting his innings since he hasn't really pitched in two years, thus he can be ready for a stretch run if needed and the playoffs.
NJYANKEE, do you really think what you posted is even possible?
Gary Shrieber, You have to realize some players play to win and want to play and help their team. Unless the doctors tell Kluber you will never pitch again, Kluber will pitch again this season and be a force to deal with.
Rob Manfred little league baseball today for the Yankees. Seven inning games double header. German and Monty get the starts. Lets take two.

Two games today. Need to win both to win this series.
If needed the Yanks should have full use of the bullpen today. Both games are seven innings. Both German and Monty went seven innings last time out. Taking both games would be sweet.
0-0 after 2.
Yanks down 2-0 after 4.
Final. Yankees lose 2-0. German allow both runs in a solid start. Yankee lineup totally stifled and looked terrible. Just two base hits, both by Andujar. Lose series and need to win second game to avoid a sweep.

Final. Yankees win 5-3. Judge carries the day with 3 RBIs on a 2 run HR and a sac fly. Bullpen goes 2 1/3 innings for the win, save and hold.
Yankees ten game series.

Another solid ten game series. Another step forward despite several injuries.
On to Detroit for a three game weekend set. Cole starts tomorrow, no body named for Saturday and Sunday yet.
I think Deivi may be called up to start one of the Tiger games.
Cole is starting tonight and Deivi has been named to start Saturday game, no one yet for Sunday.
Game time temperature in Detroit tonight mid to upper 40's. Heck, Michigan is being destroyed by democrat liberal slugs.
I wonder if Stanton will be DH tonight what with the cold temperatures.
Players play in 30 - 50 degree weather often. Seattle, SF, Detroit, Boston, NY, Chicago, Cincy, DC, Baltimore. Should not really be a problem.

Stanton back. Lets get back on track and win this series.
Yanks down 1-0 after 3.
1-1 after 7. Cole goes six and Peralta one. Cole not sharp but kept Yanks in game. Lineup pathetic with Odor HR only Yank run.
Final. Yankees lose 3-2 in ten innings. Wilson blows game in 10th giving up a 2 run walk off home run. Yankee bats had ten chances to score a run with runners in scoring position and failed every time. Yanks scored their runs on a HR from Odor and a wild pitch. Stanton was a disaster at bat and looked pathetic. It looks like it is going to be a long season.
Baseball is not baseball anymore. The game of players with diverse talents and consummate abilities (contact, bunting, hitting to the opposite field, advancing a runner, running hard all the time, hustling all the time, and more) no longer is played. The game is played with little league rules, run by a commissioner with a little league mind. Rule changes that hurt the game. The desire to get paid has taken over the desire to win for most players.
Money has taken over baseball is a factor in destroying the game. Players make too much for doing too little and not achieving.
We now have lost the first game of three consecutive series. Deivi today in a 4pm game to try to even series. If the lineup doesn't hit it won't make any difference who pitches.
I can’t get invested in a game where the rules completely change at the most important moments. I can’t enjoy a pitchers duel because all I’m thinking about is having to go to the ridiculous extra innings rule. I cringe every time I see a cloud in the sky because I can’t stomach a double header with 7-inning games. I can’t keep seeing second basemen rob sure hits because they’re playing a shallow right field. It’s not baseball any more. Even a pitcher having to face 3 hitters, or a no-pitch intentional walk.
Norm Jackson, I agree with your post on most items, except the 2nd baseman in right field. A manager should be allowed to position his defense any way he wishes. Should we not allow the 3rd baseman to come in on the infield grass to prevent a fast runner and good bunter to try for a bunt hit down the 3rd baseline? When defenders are positioned it is up to the hitter to be able to hit the ball where the defense "ain't, to coin the old phrase of the great baseball minds "hit them where they ain't." The teams of old would destroy the defenses used today of over-shifting. The players years ago could hit the ball everywhere, they had talent players today do not come close to.
I said to my dad, if the trade off for getting a 60-game 2020 season because we were so desperate for baseball was that these garbage rules became permanent, I’d rather not have had the 2020 season played at all. Then play real baseball this season.
1.Nothing worse than losing first games of a series and having to play catchup except winning the first game and then losing the series.
2.I'm sick and tired of hitters striking out so consistently and not even making contact in crucial situations.
3.I detest players not going all out and hustling all the time.
4.Rest days are despicable and are used only by the foolish managers as a strategy.
5.I hate stat cast, batted ball velocity, range factor stats, and man created formulated stats.
6.A teams best players should play everyday.
That's all for now.

Stanton out after one pathetic game. Urshella out, why?
Yankees trailing 2-1 thru 4. Get their lone run on a failed at bat. Bases loaded no outs and a double play grounder gets the run in without a RBI. Yankees up to 13 innings now with scoring a runner in scoring position in this series.
Tigers mauling Yankees 6-1 after five innings.
WIN METHOD, you sound a little fed up/upset. Hang in there. Love ya,
Final. Yankees lose 6-1. Another pathetic, unenthused, lackluster put forward by the Yankees this afternoon in Detroit. What is going on with these guys. You are paid far far too much for the way you are playing and the effort you are putting out. You should be embarrassed as a team including manager, coaches, trainers, and most of all management.
Michel King has been named to start the final game of this series and he will be doing so trying to prevent the Yankees from being swept in this three game series. The Yankee bats need to wake up and score runs or a sweep will be heard all over the Yankee fan base.
I can't recall the wild swings of ups and downs for any Yankee team in my lifetime as crazy as this years team.
I believe the Yankees have an extremely unathletic team. Most players are not durable and show little elasticity. Most base running is base to base with generally a lack of speed throughout the lineup. The Yankees put very little pressure on the opposing team and pitchers.
I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that Jason Dominguez could help the Yankee team more now than half the guys presently on the team.
I read many posters venting their frustrations here. You are all right. Manfred the mental midget is ruining baseball. The Yankees organization needs an overhaul including ownership.
Todays Yankee Lineup
Michael King (R)
1. DJ LeMahieu (R) 2B
2. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
3. Aaron Judge (R) RF
4. Gio Urshela (R) 3B
5. Gleyber Torres (R) SS
6. Gary Sanchez (R) C
7. Miguel Andujar (R) 1B
8. Clint Frazier (R) LF
9. Tyler Wade (L) CF
Wade in CF. Win or get swept.
Even when during the rare times Stanton is producing for the Yankees, he is a dead man walking. There are also several Yankee players with very little instincts for the game and taking the game to the opponent. That includes the manager. But when your player do not have the instincts nor the ability to take on the game, is the manager to blame?
Yanks down 2-0 after 2.
Yankees trail 6-0 after four and are embarrassing themselves offensively and defensively.
If there was a contest to find the dumbest player in MLB, there is no question Gary MEATBALL Sanchez would be one of top contenders.
Final. Yankees lose 6-2 and are swept by the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees were 1 24 with runners in scoring position during this series. To end the game, Aaron Judge came to bat as the tying run in the 9th inning with the bases loaded and 2 out. He swung at two pitches out of the strike zone that neither were close to being strikes and as the coup de grace, he stood there with the bat on his shoulder watching strike three right over the heart of the plate. What a dreadful series.
Yankees come home tomorrow for a big week of game, four with the Rays and three with the sux. Lets see what happens, gloom and doom or jubilation and joy. Better play a lot better than they did in Detroit. A lot.
Seven games with the Rays and sux and Cole can only start one of them. Who is planning ahead?
Looks like Taillon will start first game of the four game Rays series.
The Yankees are playing like the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration is running the country.
Rotten in one word.
The Yankees have started off the set of ten games they are now in 0-3. They will have to go 5-2 against Tampa and Boston just to play .500 ball during the ten game set.
GLORIOUS! Another Huge “TRUMP WON” Banner – This Time at Citi Field at Saturday Night’s Mets Game – Even NEW YORK is Waking Up to TRUMP WON.
In all upcoming elections across America, EVERYONE, VOTE FOR TRUMP REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES.
We must bury forever the joe-bama/commie MALADY administration and the democrat liberal progressive scum that is destroying America and making America last again.

Happy Memorial Day to all those who have served our country to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN along with our great President Donald Trump.
If the Yankee lineup keeps failing to produce when it matters most the team will continue to lose. As Casey Stengel always said, hit 'em where they ain't. Sadly, the Yankees batters are not hitting the ball anywhere, and when they do it is usually a pop up or ground ball right at an infielder. The Yankee do lead MLB in hitting into double plays.
Scoreless thru 2 and 1 failed to produce when it matters most at bat.
0-0 after 2.
No bueno, Yanks down 3-0 after five innings.
Yankees trail 3-1 thru 8. Andujar home run Yankee only run. Bats pathetic yet again. One more inning.
Final. Haplessly Yankees lose 3-1. Something has to give and it needs to be big. A bit of good information, Louie Louie is scheduled to throw three innings in a sim game today and if goes well likely a minor league assignment for a few starts and if all goes well join the Yankees. Late join a possibility.
In 8 of the 9 innings today the Yankee lineup made the first two outs before a man reached base. Dismal and never did the team threaten or have a rally.
German will start the second game of this series. It won't make any difference who starts until the Yankees start hitting and scoring runs.
Your pitchers give up just three runs yet you are never in the game. Something or somebody needs to wake up or shake up this team somehow.
We need a win and we need it now.
The Yankee lineup is making every pitcher who faces them look like Cy Young.
Biden showed more respect for George Floyd than he did for US veterans. I want the REAL President back!
Though a tent was overhead, the cold wind whipped the rain onto the guests as they watched a lone military trumpeter play taps at a memorial to Delaware’s fallen troops. Biden appeared to pay the chill no mind, remaining for the entirety of the 75-minute ceremony and mouthing the words to the closing rendition of “God Bless America.” When it was time, he snapped a salute to the wreath laid at the memorial.

Same old same old, looking for a different result.
Unless an immediate turnaround I predict Boone will be out and will be replaced with Buck Showalter.
Grosner, you forgot the last paragraph.....

.....All this as American cities are in turmoil with violent attacks on citizens occurring daily and many citizens dying as Biden does nothing. There is war again in the middle east as Biden does nothing. Americans are being crippled by high gas prices because of what Biden did in closing the pipeline from Canada to make Americans suffer.
Grosner, Showalter won't come here unless he has complete control. I don't see Cashman letting that happen. Lets see what happens tonight.
German gives up two run homer in first.
Yanks down 2-0 after 2.
